Kanto Region Cheap Vacations

Staff were very friendly and proactive about giving us info. The shuttle service was great! Made it on and off without any issues and was on time. The Lawson inside the hotel was so helpful since we got in late.

It was run down and old. Restaurant was closed. Carpets stained , bathrooms were old.

I stayed in the South Tower for 6 nights. Hotel is located in a pretty central and convenient location. The walls and ceilings are paper thin though, which is why I ultimately gave this hotel 3/5 stars. You will constantly hear your neighbors speaking or footsteps pounding above you. The south tower seemed to be on the older side of things. The bed was a bit too firm. The pillows were flat and bad. 7-11 on-site was super convenient. Staff were helpful. We were there when it was raining so it was awesome to have access to umbrellas.

This was our 2nd time staying in the Granbell in our 4 trips to Japan we usually start our trip off in Shinjuku. Our first trip 4 years ago the hotel seemed much better kept the staff welcomed you on arrival and greeted you leaveing and comming or at least acknowledged you existed. The hotel was clean and area seemed fairly good. We did notice a few things on the trip that we brushed off until this particular stay. The hotel room was getting fairly old and had alot of damaged stuff. When we arrived the hotel staff barely looked up from the desk or said a full sentence past check in at the computer screen. It was very impersonal compared to our first visit. The water pressure & temperature kept changing constantly and the fan in the bathroom did not work at all causing the entire room to fog up and be unbearable. The 2nd evening We returned and noticed the room cleaning had been completed and we went to go to sleep. There was a massive blood streak going down the supposed clean sheets... no idea how house keeping did not see this. Each night walking into the hotel you would see massive G wagon SUV's, the drivers staring you down with tear drop tattoos & had what was clearly a prostitute being dropped off at the hotel for servicing this happened multiple nights including our first stay 4 years ago. I am almost 80-90% covered with tattoos and it did not give the safest feeling. No key cards anyone can go to any floor staying at the hotel or not. I have no room left to write.

I had a good stay at Sakura Hotel Jimbocho and would give it 4 stars. The staff were friendly, helpful, and the check-in and check-out process was very easy and straightforward. One thing I really appreciated was the early breakfast, which is convenient if you have plans or need to start your day early. The breakfast is fairly light, with options such as toast, rice, and soup, but it was nice to have something available in the morning. If you stay in the shared living quarters, keep in mind that the space accommodates up to 6 people and is located underground. The bathroom and shower facilities are shared between men and women as well. If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, I would recommend booking a private room instead, as the shared space can feel quite limited when several people have their belongings there. Overall, the friendly staff, easy check-in/out, and convenient early breakfast made for a pleasant stay. Just be aware of the shared underground living arrangement and limited space if you are traveling with larger luggage.
