Centurion Properties in Tokyo

The front desk Myanmar guy intentionally gave me some hard time telling me my English name is different from my legal name which is funny. I came to this hotel 2months ago it was the same guy who check me in and he even mentioned he recognized me but giving me hard time at check in which is something I don’t get?! The dryer is extremely dirty. One Japanese mid age female front desk came over to our room being pushy for checking out saying she will charge us more money after 11:15pm. The late checkout charge didn’t notify at the time of checkin This hotel is overall in a really old condition. The floor carpet is wear out

The location is great. 3 mins walking to the nearest station. Many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The cleanliness is just acceptable. However they don’t make the beds and clean the room regularly, only throw the trash and change the towels, which is weird. The amenities are quite old and the room is smaller than expected. If you have two kids like us (one 9yo and one 5yo), maybe it’s better to rent 2 rooms. The staff is supportive though, so I rated 4/5 because of the staff. Anyway, if you want a great location to travel around on a budget, this is good. If you need a comfortable stay, should consider twice.

The location is great, with convenient access to Narita Airport and plenty of restaurants and bars in the area. We received a complimentary dessert upon arrival. However, the floor felt a bit sticky for some reason. The room was a decent size and had floor-to-ceiling windows offering a street view. It would have been even better if smoking rooms were available.

The location of the hotel is good. fairly close to the train station about a 5mins walk. Its got a Denny's on the second floor for those coming from the states, and convenient store right next to the hotel entrance on the ground floor. walk outside the building you got everything you need right there or just a few blocks away. The room feels dark and dingy because lack of lighting. dedicated wifi for each room but connection isn't perfect. The hotel make you wait until check-in time, even though they have rooms cleaned up and ready. How do I know that? because they front desk guy ask me if I want to pay extra charge to check-in early. This might be a common Japan thing, just a few days ago I was in China traveling and the hotels there give you the room whenever its ready without any fees. A week before that, I was traveling in Vietnam and the hotels there do the same, early check-in no fees. So I might have been spoiled by that. Also, it seems like the check-in times and check-out times have been changed to favorite the hotels this year in Japan. Last year, the hotel check-out times were 11am and this year is mainly 10am with a few exceptions at some properties. That leaves a possible 5 hours (10am-3pm) for travelers stranded and need to find spots to kill time before they can get settled. The situation can get worse if the weather condition changes, and you know how tropical weather is like in much parts of Asia during those seasons. Therefore, please book hotels with that in mind.

First, the pros: 1. This hostel on the 4th floor has a large public bath and sauna, which is very friendly for guests staying in winter. You can relax with a hot soak and a sauna, and guests can use it freely and unlimitedly. 2. Convenient transportation, very close to Ueno Station and Okachimachi Station, about a 6-minute walk. 3. The price is relatively affordable, suitable for short stays. Cons: 1. Besides the 2nd and 3rd floors, floors 5/6/7 have very old renovations. The upper floors are also quite noisy because they are close to the train tracks. Light sleepers are advised to wear earplugs or consider not booking these rooms. 2. There are washing machines and dryers on the 4th floor, but they are very dirty with a lot of grime. The hostel doesn't clean them, so I honestly don't recommend using them. I've never seen such dirty washing machines in Japan. 3. The staff attitude was very poor. When I asked why the carpet on the 7th floor was so dirty, the staff said if I didn't like the 7th-floor room, I could pay an extra 1000 yen to switch to a newly renovated room on the 2nd floor. This implied that the 7th-floor rooms are just like that, and if you don't want to stay there, you pay more. They didn't solve the problem but rather shifted it. They didn't even say 'sumimasen' (excuse me/I'm sorry) initially. Later, after I lectured them in Japanese, they apologized. They probably thought I didn't speak Japanese. They're clearly bullies who pick on the weak, bowing and smiling to Japanese people but treating foreigners poorly. This is truly discriminatory.

Bath room and Onsen was clean and in good order. Mold was found at the curtais on the room though. It feels unsafe that the hotel room card contains sticker information about the room number and hotel name - especially as the only one elevator connects from public street to hotel room floor without any other security measure.

well located and generally clean, except for you, but well I think it must be difficult to keep clean with the number of people. there are not enough toilets for all the people. The bathrooms are clean, well appointed and airy. The beds are clean and comfortable. Negative point: all the lockers are located in one room, there is a lot of traffic in a room and some guests allow themselves to talk loudly while others are asleep. perhaps they feel that it does not matter since it is not their room

Every time I go out, I pass by the front desk, and the staff always greets me, which I feel a little embarrassed about. I used the hotel for business, so I can't comment on the accommodation, but the location was good, the room was spacious, and it was convenient.
