Kuretake-Inn Tokyo Funabori

The staff were amazing, every one of them. They also have a translating device for when communication is difficult. It is very close to Funabori Station. There is a coffee machine 24/7 which is free to use, and you can take one drink a day from the fridge with a good selection to choose from. Toiletries are also provided. We have stayed here many times and will book again if we have another chance to visit Japan. The air-conditioning in the room was a life saver as it was still extremely hot in September.

The rooms are very small and, because we usually stay for at least 10 days, we always book separate rooms usually opposite each other. The single rooms have a bit more space to store your luggage.

The location of the hotel was very convenient, close to the train station and supermarket as well as an arcade. The staff was very friendly and understood English. The free drink everyday was refreshing to come back to.

Some parts of the room weren't clean such as some dried blood on the bed sheets and wall stains. I would've preferred a stronger air conditioner. The emergency flashlight had a battery leak and didn't work.

There was a lot of extra amenities available on shelves next to the lift as you head up to your room. The staff reminds you every day that you are allowed a free drink from the fridge. There is also a coffee machine where you can get free coffee and hot chocolate. The staff were always there to greet you as you left or came back. The beds were very comfortable. Rooms got cleaned every day at no extra charge. They supply you with towels and shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and gowns for after taking a shower/bath.

Only negative was that you aren't allowed to open the windows so the room would get stuffy (there's only heating available through vents no air conditioning) and the pillows are very thin. If you are lucky there is an extra pillow available on the amenities shelf and maybe if you ask for an extra at reception they would give but I was too shy to ask.

Very well-equipped hotel with everything you could want. A bit old, but very high quality and well maintained. The rooms are very tiny - you could view this as a negative, but it did not impact me so I found it nice.

The room did smell quite strongly of smoke. This isn't terrible as it clearly says smoking is allowed, but I expected the smell to be less powerful.

What the property lacks in physical space, the owners have made up for in thinking about every little detail and making it an incredible value for money experience. Free drinks on reception, aftershave in the toilets, all the bathroom amenities available. The staff were also very kind and welcoming for our whole stay.

The rooms were a touch small for two people, but would be a comfortable stay for one.

The location was very convenient as it was near the station. There was also a 24/7 front desk which was nice too. The staff were all very nice!

I felt bad going out for small amounts of time as you need to leave the key at the front desk every time you go out. Then when you come back you have to ask them for the key back.

Easy check in. 1 free water bottle and little free slipper and qtips and comb. Expensive in my opinion but a good stay.

So tiny! First time in Japan so maybe that’s how it is everywhere. But it was very tiny.

Spend there only one night but definitely come back anytime. To the great staff at the reception: Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

The Facilities really excellent with many amenities

The most friendly staff I’ve ever seen. The room was cleaned every single day, keeping like new.
