Tokyo Hotels with Balcony

I went to Tokyo for a business trip, and the hotel was still great. It's quite spacious for a hotel in Japan. The breakfast was excellent, with both Japanese and Western options; I mostly stuck to the Japanese selections. The night view was stunning, and there was a good variety of drinks available. My only complaint is that the price has gone up quite a bit recently.

The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom had heating and a drying function, which was great for drying clothes. The space had many thoughtful designs. I stayed for four nights and was very satisfied. The room had two large trash cans and two small ones, so I didn't have to worry about managing trash. The cooking facilities were excellent. It's very suitable for families, and it's also convenient for visiting nearby attractions. There's a fantastic BBQ restaurant right around the corner. The only thing to note is that you need to make a reservation for the BBQ place. Their beef tongue is delicious!

I was impolitely treated by the lobby staff during check out. Everything during the stay was great, until we brought our luggage to the lobby and I was looking for the express checkout box. Failing to found one, I asked one of the staffs (shown in photo) politely about the express checkout boxes, he swiftly pushed me away and ask my to queue up at the check out with a very inpatient attitude. His colleague and his manager apologised for him while he was hiding at the back office after I complained. This is not any customer should have been treated, especially with this level of hospitality and pricing. Won’t be return to this hotel again and I strongly suggest the hotel to refine their training for their staffs.

The room is quite spacious. It's very close to Senso-ji Temple, within walking distance. If you're staying in Asakusa, it's also convenient for direct access to Narita Airport, making it a good transit point. The downsides are no refrigerator and no full-length mirror. However, it's incredibly cheap, which makes up for it. There's also a smoking area downstairs. If you want to take photos of Senso-ji Temple in the early morning or evening, you might consider staying here because it's so close. After 9 PM and in the early morning, there aren't many people around, so it's a great time for photos. I'd recommend this place for people who typically go out all day and just need a place to sleep. If you're someone who likes to get ready and put on makeup before heading out, this room might not be suitable as it doesn't have a desk for makeup like other hotels; the only mirror is in the bathroom.

A Stay That Feels Like Coming Home – My Honest Review 1. Prime Location, Peaceful Setting Tucked just a short stroll from Shinagawa Station, this guesthouse is brilliantly located for exploring Tokyo. Despite being so close to a major transport hub, the neighborhood is remarkably quiet and residential. Finding the place was a breeze – clear instructions and a distinctive exterior made it instantly recognizable. 2. Thoughtful, Characterful Interior Design This is no cookie-cutter hostel. The owner has poured genuine creativity into every corner – vintage posters, handmade handpicked furniture, and an artsy blend of retro and modern elements. I booked a single bed this time, but unlike the typical 10-square-meter hotel boxes in Tokyo, my space felt genuinely roomy. I could stretch out, lay open my suitcase, and still have floor space to do morning stretches – a rare luxury for solo travelers. 3. Fully Equipped – With Surprising Extras The amenities go way beyond basics. A full kitchen with cookware, a washing machine. But the real delight? The owner’s personal toy collection scattered around – retro figures, board games, and quirky knickknacks to tinker with. And the crown jewel: a vintage record player with a curated vinyl selection, plus a compact DJ setup. I spent one evening spinning tracks with the host personal collections – an unforgettable Tokyo memory. 4. The Host – Warm, Witty, and Genuinely Sociable The owner is the heart of this place. They greet every guest like an old friend, share honest food recommendations for the local alleyways (I tried three of his tips – all phenomenal), and even bring their little dog down to the common area in some evenings. We’d gather around, sip drinks, chat about life, and laugh at their stories. It’s that rare blend of hospitality and authenticity that you can’t book – it just happens. Who Would Love This Place? Solo adventurers who crave connection but value their own space. Digital nomads needing room to work and relax. Music lovers, design nerds, and anyone tired of sterile hotel chains. If you’re traveling alone in Japan and actually want to make friends – over a shared meal, a vinyl crackle, or a dog’s gentle nudge – this is your spot. Highly, highly recommended.

The room decor is very new and beautiful, and the window view is nice. There's only one guest room per floor, and the bedding is comfortable. The only downsides are that the location is a bit too remote and quiet, the front desk isn't very welcoming, and the front desk area is very small, requiring self-check-in. There are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby, so you have to walk a bit. The subway station is a brisk 10-minute walk away.

The hotel's location is excellent; it's in the heart of Ono Square, the last metro stop from Narita Airport, about an hour and a half from the airport, and a 7-minute walk to the hotel. All the markets are right at your feet. I enjoyed my stay.

The biggest advantage is that it's directly accessible from Narita Airport via the Access Train to Honjo-Azuma Station. The elevator is only available from Exit A5, and it's just a one-minute walk from there. From other exits, you'll need to go up and down stairs. It's about a 10-minute walk to Tokyo Skytree and about a 15-minute walk to Asakusa. The place is clean, and the toilets and bathrooms have separate hours for use, which is convenient. The double bed is comfortable, but the fabric sofa is a bit old. There's only a small table and a coffee table. There aren't even any chairs. The TV is just a screen; you can't even turn on YouTube. The biggest complaint is that after check-in three days ago, we weren't given the room code. We thought we'd receive an email after 4 PM on the day of arrival, but we didn't. We had to send another email to inquire, and it took about half an hour to receive the electronic lock code. It took almost an hour and a half to get into the room. Besides wasting time, it made us very anxious and uncertain.

Location: In Maruyama-cho, Shibuya, just a stone's throw away from the bustling Shibuya station. Price: I booked during Golden Week, and you won't find another place to sleep in Shibuya for the same price. Bed: It's sized for Chinese guests, wider than traditional Japanese capsule hotels, and comes with a USB port and regular power outlets, so no worries about charging. The first picture shows the room size after removing the duvet cover. For just one night's sleep and a shower, this place is impeccable.

The room was nice and clean
