This was the 4th hotel during my 16 day trip to Japan and it was our least favorite.That said, it does what you need it for but it was just hard not to compare this with the other hotels.
The positives, this hotel will probably be the easiest walks from station to hotel you'll ever get. Its located in Sugamo which is considered the "old people" part of town. When we arrived around 11am "Jizodori Shopping Street" was very lively, like a farmers market. All the locals were out selling their wares and food and it was a fun experience. Plenty of dining options around the area as well.
The negatives.
The lobby looks great but always felt kind of stuffy to me.
The front desk was hidden in the back so after you check in you basically never interact with the staff again unless you're looking for them.
The elevators, despite having the most of all the hotels we stayed at, felt very slow. The hallways of the hotel were open air, not enclosed.
The room we stayed in had stains and parts of the wallpaper coming off. The mirror was scratched up and the walls are pretty thin, we could essentially hear everything from the hotel to what was going on outside like shouting and sirens every night.
You have no control over the climate control unit in your room. The hotel staff chooses for the whole building if your unit will use AC or Heat and you can adjust that portion but for example if the hotel has it set to heat, then you can only adjust how hot. You can't switch to it cool.
