Pros:
The hotel's location @ Meguro Station is pretty darn good. If you're coming via Haneda Airport - take the grey line to Shinagawa (about 15 mnutes), then hop onto the green line to Meguro Station (about 7 minutes). Then you take the West Gate Exit, and walk for about 7 minutes to the hotel.
- at least 4 convenience stores within 1-3 minutes walk from the hotel
- convenient laundry room (coin-based)
- very affordable, considering its location (2 stops from Shibuya and less than 7 min walk from the train station )
Cons:
- The standard room is very small and the toilet feels like you're on an airplane.
- No wifi / internet in the room. Instead, you can only get WIFI at the lobby (and it is not fast)
- The bed pillow seems to be made from recycled soya beans, and the mattress from old hay (because it is that uncomfortable to sleep on)
- the hotel breakfast is not that great. Might as well cross the road and buy ready meals from the convenience stores.
- no amenities (no pool, no fitness centre, no business centre)
Tip - if youre staying here, ask for the lower floors (ie first or second floor). If you're lucky, you might still pick up a wifi signal from the lobby so you can surf from your room.
