2 star hotels in Tokyo

Very interesting stay at Anshin Oyado Shinjuku capsule hotel. I really enjoyed the complementary food and beverages during my stay. I have always wanted to stay at a capsule hotel and this place did not disappoint. The pods were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet. I would highly recommend this hotel for solo travelers with an adventurous bone. The location was shockingly convenient as well...

The 3rd floor lounge close on 3am, many people come back from club unable to rest

This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, and overall, this one was pretty good. However, I'm a light sleeper, so predictably, I didn't get a good night's rest. Still, it's probably the most convenient option given its proximity to the station. Plus, the curry was quite good!

This hotel was mostly satisfactory, even though it was a bit pricier than similar accommodations, likely due to its prime location right off a bustling street in Shinjuku. They offer complimentary breakfast, curry rice for dinner, ramen, and all-you-can-drink alcohol, coffee, and other beverages. Of course, the food at outside restaurants is more varied and tastier. The bathroom was also great, almost...

Its goood everything is already there i would definitely stay there again. a lot of free stuff as well

Love this place - my go-to in Tokyo. Love the atmosphere and the provisions. Has good laundry facilities, and the location is excellent for access to Shinjuku station, shopping, and bars. The onsen is great, although it could do with a cold plunge to make the experience even better!

Had an amazing time in Tokyo. R&B Hotel is in a great location. It’s close to the train station (a two minute walk) with lots of shops and restaurants around. A 7-11 is right across the street as well. Connected to the hotel is a Royal Host which I had a nice breakfast at. The hotel has 12 floors. The second floor is the lobby which has an assortment of amenities (washcloth, razor, q-tips, etc) to...

Loved this hotel so much. Convenient spot with a Don Quijote, McDonalds & a seven eleven all opposite it. Nice staff and the most peaceful train station sleep sounds. The pajamas were nice too :)

Love this hotel esp with the selection of amenities near the lobby. U got what you need. Very near to otsuka station. I always love and choose this neighborhood. Room wise, i believe it's Japan's standard. But it's comfortable and clean.

Not a bad room, although a bit small. In the bathroom, there is space for both a shower and bath. The breakfast buffet is ok, but there is no change to the menu, and there is no miso soup. Otherwise, location is good, right next to JR Ōtsuka Station on the Yamanote Line.

had a hard time finding this one some time in Aug 2019, but it's conveniently located near the restaurants, starbucks, and grocery stores. The staff are helpful.

Great place to stay ! Lots of good food offerings around ! Very friendly English speaking staff, n they have a guided tour which should not be missed ..

The best feature of this hotel is undoubtedly its location. Being situated so close to the train station was incredibly convenient and made navigating the city simple. It offers tremendous value, as everything felt great for the price point. The room itself was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and tidy space to return to after a day out. Overall, for travelers prioritizing convenience...

Putting aside any resentment towards Japan regarding the hotel itself, the overall environment is fantastic. The hotel's location is slightly remote, near the sea, but thankfully convenient. There's a restaurant downstairs and a convenience store next door, so you can buy almost anything you need. The hotel's breakfast is excellent, with almost no repetition each day; the scrambled eggs are particularly...

The hotel had great, polite, and kind staff. The frontdesk was very accommodating, they were all able to help me regardless of my limited and broken Japanese. They're able to keep luggage before check in, which allowed my family to spend the day at disney. The check in and check out were a self-service but the staff there helped me out to start things off. The rooms themselves weren't big, but that...

1) the receptionist on May 14, 2025 around 22:00 was not willing to help us doing the self-check in kiosk. We were about 15 minutes struggling on putting our names or booking ID to verify the booking but it didn’t work. After that a staff with glasses came from the room from the back of reception and helped us through it. Thx a lot to her. 2. The carpet in the room is very old and dirty

A place to sleep Booked last minute for our disneyland trip for a good price. They were able to hold our luggage in the morning before we checked in which was nice. The hotel is basic enough, really just a place to sleep. There was some mold on the blinds and around the windows in the room that needs to be addressed and the hallways are a bit of a shambles. However for just being a place for us to...

This place was really mediocre. The price even dropped on the day of my check-in, which was annoying because I booked in advance and paid more. The bathroom had a strong odor. I definitely won't be staying here again. I usually see rooms for a few hundred [local currency] here, so I'd recommend looking at other hotels.

Best hotel in Tokyo. The onsen on the rooftop is amazing. Large area and also inside areas to relax in. Hotel lobby staff were so kind. Highly recommend

The hotel is a bit old, but the location and value for money are decent.

The locating is okay. But room curtain is dirty But in total consider expenses it’s okay!!

Royal Hotel Ikebukuro’s services are fabulous. I have no regrets about booking my stay. The staff are very friendly and cooperative, especially ZaZa — he is wonderful and extremely helpful. I was travelling alone with my kids, and he even helped me get to the bus stop, carried my bags, and showed me which bus to catch. The hotel staff always greet you with a smile. It’s also close to the train station...

Good service, but the room was small, and the bathroom even smaller. The cleanliness was good, but it was a bit noisy at night.

The service is great. I came here four times and I've changed my rooms twice, it's because I have sleeping problems, so if the room faces the road it will be a little noisy for me even in the 6th floor. But the hotel is really willing to help me change my room once I request. That impresses me a lot. And the location is really convenient.

Famous hotel nowadays,small room size but comfortable.We choose the hotel just between Ueno &Akihabara. Ten minutes walking to Subway station.Easy way to Ginza.Pillow was too low but toilet was well facilitated. Cons : no air conditioning in winter. The control was difficult to set down the Rm. temperature.U can order hotel breakfast,but we usually tried all the cafe that closed to the hotel 🏨. There...

Rooms-wise it's perfectly acceptable for a Japanese Hotel. And it's location is perfect. The problem we had was with breakfast - there's a gluten free speciality restaurant that I love to see become more common in Japan, even if I don't need it. However it's got the dining space for about 12 people, they cram in 24 and the entire 12 floor hotel is supposed to have breakfast here between 6am-9am. So...

My usual APA hotel closer to Ueno station was not available but I like this chain because I know what the room is like and they are always clean and quiet. Between two metro stations on the Ginza line for Shibuya and Asakusa. An easy walk from Keisei from Narita but if you have suitcases then probably a four minute taxi ride. Lots of food options and easily walkable to Ueno. No laundry onsite but a...

APA never fails, good quality with a fair price

There is a multi-storey car park right behind it, which is convenient. The person in charge will guide you. The room is a small business hotel with a unit bath The facilities were new and it was enough to rest.

I needed an affordable hotel for one night, and this place is perfect for that. It’s very compact, as you’d expect from a Japanese hotel, but it actually has everything you need. It’s probably not the best choice for longer stays, but it’s nice and affordable.

It's a little far from Okachimachi Station, but within walking distance. The room is a typical business hotel. I was a little worried because the price was low, but I had no complaints. There's a large local supermarket just a short walk away. It's good value for money, so I'd definitely stay here again.

There are vending machines and public telephones in the lobby. There are two elevators. Room wear is available in sizes M and L. Check-out is done by machine. It is a short walk from Naka-Okachimachi Station.

Located 600 meters from Akihabara's anime district, the hotel has a tram stop and JR station downstairs, and a convenience store 100 meters away. The hotel is somewhat old, but clean and hygienic, and the room size is moderate for Tokyo.

The hotel is close to Okachimachi Station, so it's convenient for anything you want to do. Above all, the room rate is not too high. With hotel prices rising these days, this hotel is around 10,000 yen. With that in mind, there are many restaurants in the area, and the location is convenient enough to catch the first bullet train or plane in the morning, so I felt it was a very convenient hotel. Even...

The room is fully equipped and the transportation location is good

Brilliant location literally a minute walk to the heart of Shinjuku. The hotel is very clean, but tiny by western standards. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good food choice and quality. We really enjoyed our stay here as it's such a fantastic base for visiting all the different areas of Tokyo. I would warn people unused to living in cities that they may need ear plugs...

Aussie, 29, who only writes real reviews. This hotel was amazing in many ways. 1. Location cant fault! Right in amongst the buzz. 7-10 min walk to train station, bars and restaurants galore on your doorstep and within a 10 min walk. 2. The room I stayed in was extremely clean, the shower had great pressure, and it was more than comfortable to stay in. 3. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful...

I loved staying here!! Even though the rooms are quite small, as a solo traveller it still contained everything I needed. In he full Japanese style bathroom they manage to fit a bath, shower and a toilet with a heated seat. Toiletries are also provided for you in the form of a hair brush, razer and a tooth brush as well as shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is a kettle in the room to make a...

Location is perfect. Very close to station. Rooms are clean. Be aware that size of rooms is not very spacious but accommodating for sure.Always go for twin bed for a sizeable standard room. Best feature is every room has a cellphone called "handy" which has free data and local calls. Makes it very easy getting around. No need to buy Pocket wifi immediately from airport. Life saviour for any tourist...

We had a great experience in this hotel, very clean rooms and well thought design for a small space. Only suggestion maybe have stores with guest needs (there is a convenient store beside the building) and their restaurant is a little pricey, nothing especial with the food servings. Their staff is friendly, might need some training with translations for foreign guests. Free water and vending machine...

I requested for early check in prior to the day I arrived, and my wish was granted which was a real treat and I was really grateful for that. I stayed in a newly renovated clean and functional double room with 4 pillows, a comfortable blanket and good bed which made me sleep well. Breakfast was simple and adequate. Short walks to the nearby malls, train station and restaurants made everything easy

Great hotel with friendly staff and just outside Toyocho station. Amenities were available at the reception. I was here for two nights for work and had a great experience. The staff kept my luggage for a few hours after check out, which was really helpful since I had to finish some work before leaving.

Very close to the metro station. Looks reasonable price hotel which able to reach downtown Tokyo around 15 minutes. You know, rooms of business hotels in Japan are very small, like a cubicle-separated.

Not bad but everything depends on the budget. I recommend it only in case of low budget. The location is good and the train station is just adjacent to this hotel. Good experience.

Clean and quiet hotel. Convenient area with convenient store, pharmacy, a number of simple restaurants around. Super near to the metro around 2mins walking distance.

The staff here are brilliant. Professional and extremely courteous. They looked after me very well for the 3 weeks that I was here in Japan. Thanks to all the staff there.

I thought it was a small but beautiful room, but there was a sticker on the table to stop the lid of ○ Qing's cup noodles lol (I peeled it off and threw it away) The room is dark, so you may not have noticed it when cleaning. Also, the breakfast was delicious! I was full! I think this room was still there, so I'll stay there if I have another chance.

I stayed for two nights. It's a great hotel, really close to the station. There are tons of restaurants around the hotel, and even a convenience store for late-night snacks, so I never felt inconvenienced. There's even a Daiso nearby, which was really handy for picking up anything I needed. It was perfect.

The rooms were a bit small but it was clean and very comfortable.

🚫There were some areas in the room that hadn't been cleaned, and I was bothered by the dust in various places! There was dust around the outlet on the desk where the TV is, dust on the hangers, and the shelf where towels are kept in the bathroom - as I'm tall, there was a lot of dust that was noticeable. Maybe the air conditioner was in a bad position, but even when I turned the temperature down, the...

With its location in front of the station, large rooms, and cleanliness, I think this is a good hotel for a business trip. I didn't get breakfast, but there are plenty of convenience stores and restaurants around the hotel.

Overall very clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly. Conveniently close to a lot of restaurants, convenience stores and the train station. 

Very nice room with friendly and helpful staff! So convenient too

Amazing location, walkable to a few different lines! Room is small (typical in Japan) but able to open a 26” luggage. No air conditioning during winter (Early Feb), had to open the window for ventilation which is a little noisy at night but still bearable.

Very very very very very very very very very very very very good!

Extremely convenient location! It's near Ueno Station, making trips to the airport cheap and fast. There are plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options around. Navigating the subway is also a breeze. I really enjoyed the breakfast; it was simple, nutritious, and well-balanced. The room is small, but perfect for one person.

Stayed for 3 nights and I enjoyed my stay very very much. I would definitely choose to stay here again next time! The room was very clean and cozy and even though it was small (on par with japanese standards) it has everything I needed. There was even a humidifier in the room!! Great for the winter months! Location was amazing! It was just a short 10mins walk from the Keisei Ueno Stn to catch the...

Good location, very clean and very nice & helpful staff. Very recommended!!!

Stay for 3 nights (3/11 - 6/11) and was disappointed with no air conditioning in the room. Only heating service. The room were warm and hot. The corridor and lobby were much cooler. Hotel provide a small fan in the room. The location and amenity were excellent. Near to Subway and shopping. Walking distance to Ueno shopping streets.

A quiet area but not so distant from tourist attractions. Excellent Japanese cuisine for breakfast. Drink bar available for residents.

The room is a bit small, but it's well-equipped and has an excellent location, only a ten-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple.

Fast check in with friendly and helpful staff. I was able to leave my luggage there before check in. I like the waiting area which serves as an extra dining area for guests having breakfast in the hotel, as well as guests taking their own meals. It has a great view of the street with large frames less windows across most of the room. The room was large good for 2 people easily. I was given a corner...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Stay – Highly Recommended! We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The food was very good, and we loved the unlimited soda drinks available from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, which was a nice extra perk after a long day. The hotel offers unlimited toiletries, and you can conveniently get your own supplies as needed. The room was clean and comfortable, with fresh towels provided. The bathtub is...

The hotel is a bit far from the subway station, about 1km from Asakusa Station. It's a new hotel, and the rooms aren't small. On the first floor, they provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, tea, toner, and lotion. Laundry is free, and drying costs 100 yen for half an hour. The breakfast area on the first floor also offers free tea and coffee from afternoon to evening. There's a smoking room on the...

The room was impressively clean and well-maintained, which made for a very comfortable stay. While the space isn’t overly large, it’s just enough to fit three luggages comfortably. Overall, I would definitely come back and stay here again.

The price is relatively cheap, you're right in front of a convenience store, you don't really get amenities but you can buy for cheap... it's more of a party hostel...not a quiet one

This my first hostel experience, and it was a good one. The shared dorm was tiny but fine. Capsule had enough space for my carry on luggage plus backpack and some hangers to help with organization. Hotel staff are awesome from the front desk to the bartender. Great area being in Shinjuku. Would recommend!

The location is very good. Godzilla, the Golden Gai, the Cat and Donki is just 10-15 mins away. The Mario Kart is also 2 blocks away. The people (guests) are mainly foreigners. The staff and service and their breakfast is very good.

The atmosphere is really nice and quite when you share the common space with others，and lots of activities for socializing.

It was a great experience! I was told that this would be a self-service check-in, but there were staff helping with the check-in process. Process was smooth and quick, and the staff is friendly. The facilities, beddings, towel were very clean. Shared bathroom was also clean with stable hot shower. I feel safe and comfortable during the stay and highly recommend for solo/ budget travellers.

Generally clean hostel. 2xBunkbed women’s room was super small but handy it you don’t want to share with strangers. Communal showers and toilets were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was 10/10; well balanced, healthy, FREE! Don’t recommend their laundry facilities; you will never get your clothes clean/dry. Go to the many laundromats very close by. Good first experience in a hostel. Would come back

The room was nice and suitable for my needs. There is a Sizzlers Restaurant on site for meals. It is close to the train station and walking distance to dining places.

Friendly regardless of time zone, and although the room is small, it feels clean, well-organized and well-maintained.

I stayed for several nights, but it was a very ordinary business hotel. The breakfast was quite expensive, even for Tokyo.

Even though it's an economy hotel, it's incredibly well-equipped! They have everything you could possibly need. The staff are also great! Definitely recommend it! The only downside is the air conditioning isn't very cold, but that's a common issue in Japanese hotels.

The hotel was very clean and my kids loved it so much they wanted to extend our check-out to stay longer! Breakfast was also incredibly rich and varied, which made everyone very happy. The hotel itself was very quiet 🤫

The room was a bit small; it's fine for two people, but a bit cramped for two adults and one child. Everything else was great. The hotel location is quite convenient, and the staff are very enthusiastic.

Overall the hotel was just what we expected. It was clean. It was small but good for the value. The neighborhood was nice. It felt local with lots of great restaurants around.

Good but expensive. Everything is good, daytime reception very kindness but nigt reception very rude person. He didn't help any. One problem is adapter. In picture i show

A hotel in Ekoda that's almost perfect for solo travelers, aside from the building being a bit old. It has everything you need.

Very near a convenience store, restaurants, supermarket. Accessible to train stations as well.

One of my fevorite budget hotel in Japan. Good price with full equipmemts and staffs are amazing.

Not within your typical central core region of Tokyo but that means its nested with more local neighbourhood. Great location for me, good escape from the city life.  That said, hotel is located walking distance from 2 train stations on different lines so fairly convenient to get around! Hotel staff are easy going, yet professional! Definitely consider staying there again!  Oh! And did i mention 2 super...

I've stayed here several times now, and overall, I'm quite satisfied. The front desk lady speaks Chinese and has a great attitude.

I came to Japan alone for a concert at Tokyo Dome, and this hotel was perfectly located. There's a FamilyMart right next door, and the station is just a 5-minute walk away, with direct access to Haneda Airport. The room had a mini-fridge and was cleaned daily. It was quiet at night, which made me feel very safe traveling solo!

I stayed here for one night, and overall it was pretty good. It's very close to Higashi-Nihombashi Station on the Asakusa Line, which offers direct trains to both Narita and Haneda airports, making it super convenient. It's also near JR Bakurocho Station and the Shinjuku Line. The only minor drawback is that the room is quite small. It's perfectly fine for stays of two nights or less, but any longer...

A regular Tokyo hotel I would say based on size and room amenities, except that its very close to a metro station that is on the same line as the keisei express to the airport. So you can get there in a pretty short amoutn of time from the airport without even taking the skyliner. this to me is a big plus. Otherwise not much to say, there is a familymart and some restaurants that are close by that...

The room was clean and tidy, the stuff is nice. So many metro lines are located near the hotel, so it's so easy to go everywhere in Tokyo from here! Akihabara is within 20-30 minutes walking, Family Mart is next door. Next time I probably will stay here again 👌🏻

Good location, very close to train station and close to 7/11, family mart. Check in time is so stickly at 15.00hrs. I arrived at 14.00hrs and still have to wait

I would say it's a really good place if you are looking for some chill time. Also, the alarms are amazing, no sound, just light, the bed waking you up, and the "door" function is pretty easy too.

Great location and very clean hotel. The room was well-maintained, and housekeeping did an excellent job. Everything felt fresh and comfortable. The location is perfect—close to main attractions, restaurants, and transport, which made our stay very convenient. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent hostel, very clean, great location andatmosphere

Highly recommend for solo travelers visiting Shibuya! The facilities are clean and the room is comfortable. I especially loved the strong water pressure in the shower.

Great and interesting concept. Madebfriends, learned about places to go that were once in a lifetime. Perfect for a solo traveler

It was a pretty decent stay! The staff are really nice, security is pretty good for the female shared area. Bathroom and showers are really well maintained. The bed is really comfy and quite big. Breakfast is simple. It's quite abit of a walk from the subway station to the hotel. But it's okay without luggage haha

Smile Hotel Asagaya is genuinely very good for the price. The rooms are clean, simple, and efficient, and the bathrooms are unusually large by Japanese standards. There are no frills, but everything works, and it does exactly what a basic hotel should do. The location is the standout. Asagaya is one of the best neighborhoods in west Tokyo — calm, livable, well-connected, and far more pleasant than...

Friendly, suitcase storage possible after check out.

Hotel is nice and clean. Location is great. It’s next to the Asayaga station. Lots of restaurants and Mary’s nearby.

During my stay at this hotel, I found it exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The room was comfortable, with modern amenities, and the staff were courteous and helpful.

During my stay at this hotel, I found it exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The room was comfortable, with modern amenities, and the staff were courteous and helpful.

Staff members of this hotel are very friendly and polite . And also rooms are comfortable and clean.

The hotel is clean and conveniently located near the station, making travel easy. You need to leave your key at the front desk before checking out. The staff are polite and provide good service. There's also a washing machine, which is very convenient.

We stay just for a night to catch early morning Shinkansen. The location is not too far from both Ueno and Okachimachi, however due to rain, its harder to walk there. The hotel is clean but a bit old and I cannot open the windows so its kinda hot (until late night where the temp drops).  Overall, a good choice for short stay in the heart of Ueno

Super convenient! Right downstairs, it's bustling with activity, and the station is just a few minutes away. Couldn't be easier! 👍👍👍

Not for fussy travelers. Very basic and dated room, cant complain any as the rates was really good. Lobby provides lotion or scrubs, and also coffee n tea. Need to deposit the room key each time we go out of the hotel. Very near to Keisei ueno station is a plus

The location is good near Ueno station. Facility is old but clean.

The hotel's location is excellent, with plenty of eateries downstairs and nearby, and it's also very close to Ueno Station. The hotel has its own hot spring bath, which is a nice touch, though overall the hotel facilities are a bit dated.

COCOYO HOTEL Otsuka opened in January 2025 and immediately stands out as one of the best-value options in central Tokyo. The standout feature is the luxurious lobby lounge, where guests enjoy unlimited free drinks — a wide tea selection plus a full drink station — along with your choice of yukata-style pajamas and an impressive amenity corner stocked with skincare essentials. The Economy Twin room...

It's a relatively inexpensive hotel, but the room itself was perfectly fine. I'd recommend it if you're just looking for a place to sleep.

The room was tiny; once a suitcase was open, there was no room to move. The duvet cover was a bit disappointing 😓

When checking out, the housekeeping staff left all the towels in the common hallway, which felt uncomfortable. The location is conveniently close to the subway station, which is an advantage. There's also a pretty good udon noodle shop nearby, and a convenience store. However, the space is very small, and getting from the first floor to the elevator involves going up or down many stairs, which is...

It's reasonable for the price, so I'm happy with the level. I was bothered by the smell in the unit bath. There was no outlet for the hair dryer near the sink, so I used the full-length mirror in the room instead.

The location was easy to find, and check-in was a breeze. They provided all the basic amenities, so I didn't lack for anything.

Location was near train station . Lots eateries around. Quiet hotel with kitchen ameneties. I like it even though it was Abit old hotel but we'll maintained. Staff were friendly .

The hotel's location is pretty good, very close to Ikebukuro Station, and the price is quite reasonable. However, the hygiene conditions are just average. The desk is very small, and there are very few power outlets; I had to unplug the TV to charge my devices.

My 4th time stay at Sakura Hotel. I really love this place when I travel to Tokyo everytime. Few minutes walk from Ikebukuro station West exit C6. The staff are all very nice. There is lift in the hotel. Coin laundry is available. Hotel provides slipper, if you want the towel, you can rent for 100yen. Toilet and shower room is clean. Room is clean. This is always my first choice when I stay in Tokyo...

Good customer service and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, making the experience pleasant overall.

Not bad, it's not the first time I've booked with them, and the price is quite affordable too.

Good location, and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Most can speak good English. I appreciate them letting me practice my Japanese, too!
