REMM Akihabara made itself one of my favorite hotels in Tokyo very quickly. It is located directly above the Akihabara tain station, and across the street from Yodobashi Camera's massive Akiba (a.k.a. Akihabara) branch. When I checked in, I was greeted by a front desk staff that speaks excellent english. Overall, the hotel staff met the usual Japanese standard of top-notch service. If you have a lot of luggage, though, this may not be the hotel for you. The rooms are tiny but very well designed. Through clever use of glass and sleek design they make a small room seem much larger than it actually is. The highlight of the room is either the massage chair (seriously, it rocks...or at least it rocked my world.... :) ) or the glass shower that allows you to watch TV whilst you take your morning constitutional. The Akihabara Tolim development in the same building houses a Uniqlo clothing store as well as many dining and drinking options, and the neighborhood overall is very friendly.

If your Japanese is limited (or non-existent) there are a good selection of restaurant in the area that can accommodate you, so Akihabara can be a good choice for the Japan novice.

When you get to the JR Akihabara station, take the Showa Dori exit. When you go through the gates, turn right, and the entrance to the hotel will be on the right, just past the Starbucks.

Be warned-- the rooms really are TINY. But I'd certainly stay here again. The room is very well appointed-- rain shower, hi- tech loo, massage chair... Very modern decor. Great location steps from the metro. Lots of breakfast options close by. Very clean. Excellent service. We had a problem with the hot water and the manger was there with a plumber within minutes, despite the pre-dawn hour. If you just need a place to sleep and don't want to spend a bundle, the Remm Akihabara fits the bill perfectly.

My second visit to this great hotel.. Located just a short walk from Akihabara station and Electric City..
Rooms are small but are clean.
Lacks a good breakfast spot, but Starbucks is in the same building if a coffee will do...

We stayed at Remm Akihabara in November 2011 for 5 nights. It is conveniently located next to the subway station in Akihabara. Rooms are small (presume standard for Tokyo) and clean. Front desk staff is courteous and communicates well in English. Lovely hotel. Would stay again!
