Shinagawa Tobu Hotel

"Location is very uphill. Tough with luggages. A small tip for people coming from the shinagawa station is to come in from the main road on the right after the big crossing outside of the station. The slope is much more even. Service was very good! Staff was friendly, cleaning was good, they gave us good amenities in the toilet, there was pyjamas (which I've never seen before). They replaced pyjamas, toothbrushes, etc on the same day after they were replaced. Rooms were also a little small. However, for the price and for the location's rent, etc (this was the cheapest place we could find when we booked it!) this did not really factor into my final four stars. Also, we were 3 people into a little room meant foor 2. The toilet was also small. For average sized asian guys, the toilet seat was already cramped and required sitting in a different angle.)"

"Hotel location is great in the sense that it is at Shinagawa, but this hotel is way up a long slope, so it was really a workout dragging our luggage all the way up. There are many hotels in between that don’t require such a long walk, which can be a struggle if you are carrying heavy luggages.\n\nOur biggest complain with this hotel is the scarcity of washing machines. We booked the hotel because it provides coin laundry service. But we realised there were only 2 washing machines (the kind with combined dryer function) in a super small laundry room. Which means each wash + dry run will take at least 2-3 hours, and you are essentially fighting with everyone in the hotel for the machines. We had quite some clothes accumulated and it took us close to 5 hours to wash and get everything dry. There is a huge lounging area right outside the laundry room which is ridiculously big and could’ve been changed into the laundry room to accommodate more machines.\n\nBreakfast is not great. It’s the same everyday and not many things are available. If you were to purchase the breakfast adhoc it costs 2200 yen.\n\nParking was okay. There are a few lots in front of the hotel that you can park with a fee of 1800yen per day (payment at hotel counter). But the staff said they can’t book a lot for you. If all lots are filled you will have to park at a nearby public parking lot. I’m not sure how that works because we were lucky enough to get parking lots for the two days we needed it.\n\nAll in all, if doing laundry is a big deal to you, this hotel is a no. Also try looking at other hotels along the slope nearer to Shinagawa station to save your arms and legs if you are walking with heavy luggage."

"Really good location next to Shinagawa station. There are lots of 7/11 in the area and there was one crossing the road👍The rooms were bigger compared to other hotels in Tokyo and very clean and tidy. The staff were very welcoming and kind. Overall a very good experience and would definitely recommend!"
