Tokyo Hotel Guide - Hokutopia hotels in Tokyo, Japan.

"This was our first stay in Japan - the reception desk was on the third floor and not brilliantly signed. We had arrived in early in the morning, and so were unable to check in to our room although we could leave our bags. The hotel has no seating area so we had no choice but to go out and explore. The hotel is in an area that feels quite corporate, but a short walk brings you to Shinjuku station. "

"Nice property. Staff were friendly. "

"Pros • Prime Location: The hotel is perfectly situated, surrounded by a variety of restaurants, shops, and convenience stores. It is a convenient, less-than-10-minute walk to Ikebukuro Station. • Excellent Upkeep: Rooms are cleaned daily, ensuring a fresh and comfortable stay. • Thoughtful Amenities: Complimentary water and tea are available on every floor—a very nice touch. • Exceptional Service: The staff is consistently polite, professional, and eager to help. Cons • Fixed Climate Control: During my stay in cold weather, the building was set to heating only with no central AC. Because the temperature isn't adjustable, the room became quite hot and stuffy. While opening the window helped cool things down, it did let in street noise. • Traditional Key System: The hotel uses physical keys rather than access cards. Guests are required to return the key to the front desk every time they leave the building, even for a quick trip to a convenience store. Overall Verdict This is a solid choice for travelers who prioritize a fantastic location and great service. However, if you are looking for a sleek, modern hotel with high-tech amenities and individual climate control, this might not be the best fit for you."

"This was the Prime Location!!! A complete mall below the hotel with underground connection to Ikebukuro station. Only a ten minute walk to the train station that has access to all the major parts of Tokyo. We could not have been happier. The room was nice and our view from the 33rd floor was gorgeous. Good shower and tub. Provided our pajamas and fresh linens daily. Even a family mart right next to the elevator. We ate the best ramen of our entire trip only 200m away from the hotel. "

"This is in a prime location from Sugamo Station. Only about 2 minutes walk that makes it very convenient. Check in and check out is flawless. The bath at the top of the building is always a plus. 3 things that they can improve is to maybe have a air purifier in the room to trap the dust, be able to control the room temperature to your liking (somehow it was either heat or cold but can't control which one you want), and the number of laundry machines. I stayed 4 nights but never saw the laundry available until the day I checked out. "

"Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Great location and rooms are very clean everyday"

"Beautiful hotel, goods sized rooms, awesome location and unparalleled service! "

"Absolutely loved how clean and central this location was! It made getting around much easier as someone who has never been to Japan. The train station is across the street which is helpful, but there’s also a lot of stores and restaurants in the same area. Staff were also extremely kind and helpful to interact with. Thank you so much again! I’ll stay here again when I return back to Japan."

"A very clean welcoming hotel. Everyday I get a bag with clean towels and clean Yukata and new toiletterie accessories ( q-tips, cotton pads, wash cloth, toothpaste toothbrush razor shower cap and extra cups with coffee, tea, creamer, sugar and long spoon. Bed are elevated to store luggage’s but there are no closet no dresser to place your clothes. Just a wall mirror with hooks and sleepers storage. Fridge and kettle. Bath is great clean. Well maintained. Spa is avalaible too. Breakfast included with voucher to use every morning on the date written on it. Breakfast is euro and Asian simple and good"
