Very comfortable stay. Location was great with an amazing bakery around the corner and a 7/11 just outside. Foot bath was amazing after all the walking. Room had everything we needed including a washing machine which was very convenient for us. Also really enjoyed the ReFa products in the bathroom. I’d definitely stay at a Tokyu hotel again. The only thing we found was that the staff were not around a lot and tea selection was limited.
