Pretty shabby hotel in Kokubinji.

Paaced inside a mall. Good shopping and transport really close by. Good restaurants etc within a few hundred feet of the front door.

But the rooms are of a different standard. Typical low budget hotel with cigarette smell in the walls.

I stayed there for business for about a week since several years. The beds are fine, no-smoking rooms are available. The rooms are small, but the essential is there, and you can work on the small table if needed. The have free lan (over ethernet, cable is provided free). The staff is very helpful, and speaks English. The breakfast is a bit a "special" combination of continental, japanese and european style, but OK. There are no sport facilities available in the hotel, but south-west of the hotel there is a nice public park (near to the shrine of Kokubunji), which is a nice round course for running or walking. You see the park in google maps

I often visit a customer site in Kokubunji, so I've stayed here on a number of occasions. It's a reasonably priced hotel, the rooms are clean and tidy, and it's the best Hotel in Kokubunji (it's just about the only Hotel in Kokubunji).

It's right on-top the JR-line station, but it's isolated enough so that you don't hear the noise, and form the station it's only 30 minutes to Shinjuku on the Rapid trains (which are about every 10 minutes).

If you're planning to stay a while consider upgrading to a suite (about 9,000 yen more), you virtually get a small apartment to yourselves with a living room, and dressing room.

There are plenty of shops and restaurants on your doorstep, so it makes a good base. If the weather is fine you can easily see Mount Fuji from Kokubunji, but I'm not sure the Mets has any West facing rooms, I've certainly never had one.

The breakfast is basic, but usually included in the room price (if you book direct in advance).

I was in Tokyo for a working stage in october 2006 and my Hotel was Mets Kokubunji Hotel: a good hotel, clean and with very gentle employes
