ICI HOTEL Tokyo Hatchobori

I don't know if this hotel is a new one, but the room, the bathroom and the linen etc were very clean and tidy. Despite the small size room , the hotel placed the bed on top of the safe and the refrigerator, which increased the usable area by quite a bit, now I can even store my suitcase under the bed. The corridor is wide and bright, the room was quiet. Although this hotel is not a big one, it has two elevators, that means you don't have to wait long to get one. In spite of the fact that the hotel is in a quiet neighbourhood, it only takes 4 minutes to walk to Hatchobori station, and there are plenty of restaurants around.

Sorry, not much I can think of.

We loved our stay here. For a budget friendly hotel, the room and space in the room was good. It could have been seen as crowded but it was ok for us! comfy beds, fridge, safe, hangers, kettle, and toiletries! 15 min walk to Tokyo Station and took us about 20/30 mins to get to Disney! Ideal for our week stay. We tried the breakfast which was roughly £5 and again you could pack up your takeaway box and go back for more. 100% would recommend if you are considering staying here for your trip to Tokyo!

Everything was very clean and new, reception desk was also always very helpful and responsive even before the arrival :) Hotel is located right next to metro station, 20 mins walk from Tokyo station, the area is also surprisingly quiet in the night (for the central district of such a big city).

I wouldn’t call it a negative (wasn’t a problem for us specifically) but if you’re taller than 190 cm, be prepared that you might not be able to fully stretch your legs on the bed (we had standard room, might be different for more expensive ones).

The staff were friendly despite limited English, and the location is pretty convenient. I'd say it is even within walking distance of Tokyo Station if you are okay with walking 20ish minutes or so. The neighborhood is quiet, which is good for sleeping. There are some restaurants and many 24-hour stores around.

The room, as usual for Tokyo, is a bit small, so if you have big luggage, it might cause an issue and make your stay unpleasant. The beds in the twin room are very close together, which is also the case with many budget hotels in Tokyo, but if you are not okay sleeping so close to someone, be aware of this.

ICI Hotel is nice and presents very well. Located on the inside corner on a side street made it easy to locate and away from traffic sounds from the main road. Staff that we spoke with did not speak English but we were able to communicate effectively. The facility and rooms are clean (could pass for new). Everything in the room was fully functional (nothing broken as may be in the States). We were a party of 4 so we reserved two double rooms, which were adjacent (but not adjoining) as requested. Okay, if you’re from the US and have never spent a night in a Tokyo standard room your expectations will need be reset: small and compact. Think cruise ship cabin, and you’ll have a more enjoyable experience.

I picked this hotel because the subway station is literally across the street. Our strategy was to conveniently hop on the train for meals and activities - we’re vegetarian and had planned having meals in other parts of the city. No fault of ICI Hotel, but what we didn’t fully consider is that although there are many points of entry you still need to walk to a designated platform to board By the way, not all stations have operational elevators or escalators. The numerous luggage of guests being held in lobby was the only clutter observed each day. The area designated for breakfast was also sectioned off further limiting space to maneuver. Of all the possible disturbances we experienced was noise (mostly loud talking and laughing) from other guests staying on our floor.

The staff were very polite and helpful to accommodate us as foreign travelers. They provided us with pamphlets to help ease the language barrier, and it was a pleasant stay not too far from one of the lines to and from the major Tokyo station. The bathroom was nice, and the beds were snug. The bathroom toilet, bath, and amenities were amazing and exceeded my expectations.

It's a smaller room, but there is space underneath the bed to store personal items. The electrical outlets were also limited, so be sure to charge your electronic accordingly based on priority technologies if traveling.

Amazing amenities and helpful staff. I was always greeting with a warm welcome and it is close to everything I needed which is Ginza (20min walk), Tsukiji Market(15min walk) and DisneySea/Land (30min train ride). TeamLabs (30 min train ride) is also close enough where trains don’t take an hour. Tokyo station is also a 19 minute walk which helped us get Shinkansen to day trips to different places like Lake Kawaguchiko and Nikko.

I loved everything.

The AC is strong, that is good because the weather was hot during our stay. The location is good, just a corner away from the Hatchoibori station.

The room is small. We have 2 luggage and the space is only enough for 1 luggage to be opened and still feel crowded. The sanitary bags are not checked for a long time I guessed. It was splashed with yellow marks when I took the first one and found the others are not clean as well. Maybe the sanitary bag should not be placed that low beside the toilet.

My stay was excellent! I was very pleased with the location, cleanliness, affordability, safety, staff's kindness. Thank you so much!

- The room was too small, with no space between the twin beds. I would have chosen a bigger room if I had known. The description of small rooms in the website should clearly indicate this. - The room had only one outlet to plug electronics; that was not enough. - Breakfast didn't include any fruit; I missed it.

It's nice to have staff who always greet you with a smile. The room is larger than expected and comfortable to use. It's right in front of the Hatchobori station, so you can go to other places right away - Akihabara and Ueno etc.

This station is connected to Tokyo Station to JR Rail. So, you can't use Tokyo metro pass to come this hotel. Razors and toothbrushes are not provided, so be sure to bring them.
