I think hotel cen is a great option for the price point. The hotel is a bit less nice than the photos (but overall well kept and fine) and it’s very conveniently located next to the subway. The staff was friendly and the rooms (although small) did the trick.

Everything about Hotel Cen was great. More of a personal matter the area was a little weirder at night and didn’t realize it was the Korean area of Japan. So not my choice of dinning experiences around. But the staff and everyone was super friendly and helpful.

Better Accomodations at a Better Price Elsewhere

My room smelled like a dirty sock, to the point that I couldn't sleep because of the smell. I had to run to Daiso for fabric refresher and use the entire thing on the tiny room. I recommend for the GM to have the carpets cleaned thoroughly ASAP. Gross feet + Tokyo humidity = gross smells. Also I was disappointed the breakfast that came with my booking wasa coffee, 2 mini croissants and a large spoonful of potato salad. I don't really recommend this hotel unless you really want or need to have LGBTQ+ friendly. The cafe staff members were wonderful.

ホテル自体はとても綺麗です。 部屋も清潔感があり良かったです。 ただ、写真でみた感じだと部屋の広さが分かりにくかったです。 実際にチェックインして部屋に入ってみると、 2人で過ごすには狭すぎるなと思いました。 またエレベーターのすぐ横の部屋だった為 人が乗り降りする時、声がうるさかったです。
