Sotetsu Grand Fresa Takadanobaba

We chose this hotel because of it's proximity to the train station which was right across the street. There are numerous stores and restaurants very close by including a Don Qui next door, Kura Sushi across the street, BigBox which includes a variety of stores such as Loft and Uniqlo. The hotel itself was great - breakfast was good, amenities were ample, front desk was helpful, facilities were very clean. We had a corner room which gave us a lot of space for two people. I highly recommend this hotel as it's out of the busy Shinjuku area but still on the Yamanote loop to get those "tourist" attractions.

Very convenient location for my purposes. Just across from the JR station, close to the clinic I needed to visit. Buffet breakfast exceed expectations (compared to only the one other Sotetsu Grand Fresa I've stayed at). Had dinner in the hotel one night, it was also quite good. No fitness facility but that is normal for Japanese business hotels. User friendly check-in and out. Friendly and helpful staff (although the stay is arranged so you pretty much don't have to deal with anybody if you don't want to).

The location of this hotel was so convenient! It was my first time in Japan with my partner but the walk to the train station was so close. We could easily access all the places we wanted to travel to. The staff were lovely as well. I accidentally put a wash for too long... I had reservations at a cafe in Chuo City which is far from our hotel so I wasn't going to be able to pick up my laundry. I let the staff know and they bagged my clothes nicely until I returned. Not all of the staff knew English so when I was talking to the receptionist she tried her very best to understand what I was saying. She even got a translator out to tell me what she was saying in Japanese. Overall it was very peaceful and quiet in the hotel. I loved the view from my room.

The room and bathroom itself has more space than the usual Tokyo hotels. It was clean and had modern looking rooms. Facilities were great; there were 3 coin laundry machines that automatically puts detergent and dry. Can also use IC card to pay for one of the machines. 2 vending machines, 1 ice machine and a microwave. All of these facilities were on Level 4 which i stayed at so it was very convenient. They provide disposable slippers, pjs, fabric spray, many clothes hangers. There was a humidifier and strong AC in the room. Free amenities in front of the lifts to take what you NEED. The hotel was very close to the station so that was convenient. Burger King and some convenience stores close by and next to a Donki. Was able to use Airporter to luggage forward at the hotel. They provide a pamphlet on the information or can use Klook to book. We just put out bags at reception in the morning. There are 3 check in and out machines. If you need someone, you can just ring the bell. I did not have breakfast at the hotel.

1minute walk from the train station. Convenience stores and supermarket right around the corner (1-2mins). Right next to a Don Quijote, Burger King and KFC. The train commute is close yet far. Travelling Tokyo, Ginza, Akihabara etc is around 30mins on average. They have laundry machines for 500yen for 1kg load, which was handy during long stays and cheap enough. Staffs are friendly and speaks English which is a plus.
