Hotel Edoya

"Really enjoyed my stay! Very old school so some may not enjoy it. For instance, you have to return the key to the desk every time you leave, the bed is a mat, couldn’t check in early, and the bathroom was a bit old. I didn’t mind any of these because it had a wonderful charm to it. For the price, I was quite impressed. It also has a public hot bath at the top floor which I enjoyed. It is close to a station but nothing hot nearby. A bit of a walk to Akihabara, but close enough. Staff was great. English was reasonably good. Highly recommend."

"Hotel Edoya was really enjoyable.\nYes, the infrastricture isn't the newest and it shows a bit. But the staff very nice and helpful and the artificial onsen was very relaxing. The rooms are also quite big and the futon was very nice to sleep in.\nFor the price it cost I would definitly stay here again"

"The hotel is on top of a hill, so keep it in mind when you plan your day. We walked a lot during our stay in Tokyo and ending the day with a walk up a hill wasn’t nice.\n\nOnce we got there, the receptionists were extremely nice. Some of them even spoke Spanish! And they helped us with everything we needed. But that’s where the good things end.\n\nThe room is okay size-wise, it has a kettle, a small TV, a little fridge, a little table with floor seats and two futons. There were some odd stains on the tatamis, walls and ceilings, so maintenance and cleaning in this area could be improved.\n\nBut the crown jewel is the in-room bathroom. There’s a sink area, a closed-off toilet area and a closed-off shower area. The toilet was okay. The sink had black sludge (I’m assuming black mold) around the handles. But there was a hair dryer!\n\nThe worst part was the shower. It was horrifying. The door to the shower is made out of wood, and I think the cleaners clean with the door open, because when you’re inside and you close it you can see the back is completely covered in fluffy mold. I’m fine with the outdated tiling and utilities, with the dirty grout and with the small sauce packet-sized shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, but not with such an amount of mold. I forgot to take pictures, but it was really bad. I noticed it for the first time because I stepped back from the stream of water and felt something fluffy touch my leg. Ugh.\n\nFinally breakfast was disappointing. To get to it you have to go through the garage, which isn’t very appealing, and then the breakfast area is just as outdated as the rest of the place. I didn’t like the food either, so I only went on my first day there.\n\nSo yeah, sadly I would never come back. I feel bad because the people at the reception desk were great, but the shower alone is a health hazard."
