The hotel is exactly beneath the railway and they tell you that it is really load. If you agree you sign this. But I liked so much the noise and after midnight it was totally silent until the next morning.

The room smelled like socks.

A very unique stay, the train was not very loud i honestly expected it to be a lot louder.

It’s pretty obvious given the name of the property, but those totally sensitive to noise will likely struggle sleeping with the trains overhead. Some are louder than others. However between the air purifier in the room, and earplugs, plus being exhausted from touristing, it wasn’t a huge problem for us. I’d imagine over a few nights it would get tiresome, but for a short stay no problems.

Great location, good sized rooms (although bathroom was tiny but wasn’t a big deal for us), rooms felt comfortable and well appointed. Lots of amenities to stock up on (ear plugs, slippers, face masks, etc). Free luggage storage both before and after check in/out. Cafe at reception is quaint, we spent a couple of hours there before heading to the airport and we were comfortable and well looked after in the process.

Train noise is louder than advertised.

Great facility and location, but don’t let the other reviews fool you, you can 100% (!!!) hear the trains overhead and it is very loud. Recommended for deep sleepers or for very short stays. Staff is freer also, super clean room.

Well the trains are loud, but we were so tired they didn’t actually keep us awake!

So close to the train station and electric town. Very clean.

The location is very convenient! Just a few minutes walk to Akihabara station. From Akihabara station is just 2 stops away from Tokyo station! The room is small, but it has everything you need. Amenities can be collected at the front desk before heading to your rooms! Even though it is situated under a railway, the sound of the trains didn't bother us at all! They even provide earplugs at the front desk if you need them.

The room was a bit smaller (quad room) than expected. The bathroom was more like a cruise ship size. It was cute and quirky but not great for a family of 4 to hang out in when the kids needed some down time. Perfectly clean and comfortable though and fine for a couple of nights!

Location was excellent only a few hundred meters from train and subway options and a couple of blocks from electric city. The free left luggage option was appreciated and a key selling point as we arrived early and had a late flight out of Tokyo. Staff were friendly and helpful, good wifi, nice public/cafe area to hang out in. Nice and clean, train noise in the room was barely noticeable.

It’s really really noisy. For us it was impossible to sleep and we changed hotel after just one night. You can hear trains every 2 minutes but also people, cars and fire station. I'm warning you because people say it's not that bad. It is.

This hotel has good location in central Akihabara, next to the train and metro station. Spacious room (for 3 people) with wide, comfortable beds. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s definitely a highlight.

A bit noisy at times because of the train tracks nearby but you are warned beforehand.

Very nice staff, cosy room with shower and bath. Close to the train station.

The ladders for the bunk beds were difficult to climb and left my legs bruised, the bathroom smelled, was very small and the towels where super small as well.

Found the sounds of the train soothing, and the location was fantastic! Easy to get around the city, close to Akihabara Station.

Nothing to complain about, i paid the cheapest rate for a room and got what i paid for. Can’t complain the small room was great and i was already aware of the room size. The other rooms looked pretty big as per checking the room maps which you can see at reception.

The hotel is in such a great location! On the same street as Akihabara station. We stayed in Room 6 which was one of two of the SMALLEST rooms they had. Probably wasn’t ideal for my husband and 1 year old but we managed and it wasn’t an issue, we were rarely at the hotel. Also price was fare and cheapest for the room. Probably best for a single or couple. Previous reviews said they couldn’t sleep due to the train noise, i’m a very light sleeper and managed well with the noise, helped with bub as she usually listens to white noise, she slept through it as well as my husband. Over such a convenient hotel location!! You can also ask for extra pillows.

I liked it location

The room was clean and comfortable. It was much quieter than I expected. I loved the stay and will definitely book again if I visit the area. It's also travel sustainable.

We don't like about the room is there is no clear instruction of how we need to switch on the heater. We have open the switch near the room but the room is super freezing, we keep on finding which button to on the heater but can't find any. At the end we found the switch on the heater itself! LOL, thank godness we don't need to sleep in the cold temperature room

I like the space of the room, even though is not wide but is long enough to fit a family of 5 (2 adt 3 chd). there is still have room of improvement.

Noise, bed could be a little thicker

Location, room size

Stayed in February 2024

The noise didn't bother me, but you can hear trains and if you're a light sleeper then it's something to consider. Personally, I find it quite soothing as a background noise. The first room we stayed in was very narrow, I would not recommend this room. Overall we have stayed in 3 rooms at this hotel, 2 were nice sizes and really had no issues with them. The third, however, was extremely narrow and I would have liked to have known about this room in advance. I would have paid extra to get a better room or would have expected a discount because it was a bit clunky in there with suitcases. Overall, not a massive issue but in comparison to the other rooms it was a bit of a let down.

The location is great if you're planning to spend a lot of time in Akihabara. Really central and less than 5 minutes walk from the train station. Room is super clean and well priced and there's a small hotel bar/cafe if you fancy a drink at any time. Additionally, they allowed us to leave our bags at the hotel for 5 days while we went to Yokohama.

Backpacker vibes, train noise wasn't too bad, neighbours in nearby rooms not so much, bed not comfortable

Spacious room with modern amenities compared to normal rooms in Japan, good for a short, unique experience under the train line, lots of good food and coffee places nearby

Stayed in February 2024

More noisy than expected because of the fire station across the street. Beds are very low to the ground so it can be difficult to get up and down for some folks. Needs better breakfast choices. Tiny bathroom even by Japanese standards.

Location and staff were good. Lots around it and close to the train station.

Stayed in February 2024

Well, it’s all in the name of the hotel it is directly under the railway. So make sure you wear yourself out during the day so the sound of a passing train every two minutes doesn’t bother you. They do offer earplugs to accommodate for the sound.

Its location to the train station was incredible, the food choices in a close distance were also great and open late. The hotel was clean and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

The railway noise was significantly louder than expected and almost continuous. In the end it was a comforting noise to fall asleep to. There is a break from 1.30am -4.30am where no trains are running. It them becomes a bit of a shock once they begin again. Almost better if they kept going all night! Towels very small and dry so lacking any luxury.

Location is excellent. Price reflects the disadvantages of the hotel. Layout of beds etc all good.

First step of entrance not lit by lights and creates hazard.

Easy check in, check out. Quaint, clean, and well equipped room. Friendly staff and cute cafe.

Some corners of the beds needed vacuuming (dust bunnies). The artificial leaves in the room are a nice decorative touch but also accumulate dust. 5 people using a single bathroom is a bit of a challenge - but manageable with a bit of give and take.

Excellent value for money. Managed to fit 5 adults comfortably into one room with enough space for luggage. Towels, toothbrush, shaver all provided. Love that the room was constructed to maximize the space. Very conveniently located near metro stations and the main JR Akihabara station. Using QR code for the door really does save on having to manage keys or key cards. Lots of food and shopping options nearby. Good coffee and breakfast served at the cafe. This really is under the railway tracks so one must accept the rumbling of the trains overhead. No issue if you sleep late and soundly like we do. The hotel does provide earplugs for those who need them.
