Ryogoku View Hotel in Tokyo

Even though it's a budget hotel, the room was really spacious – we could easily open three suitcases. It's the biggest budget hotel I've stayed in so far. For under 15,000 yen in Tokyo or Osaka, it's unbeatable.

I’ve stayed at Ryogoku View Hotel (and in the Ryogoku area) nearly 10 times. The hotel is a 1 minute walk to the train station and a 5 minute walk to Sumo Hall. There are tons of food options on the street and even more within a 10 minute walk in any direction. The staff is always courteous. The room is on the smaller side if you’re coming from the U.S. or Canada (but hey that’s Japan) but had enough space for what I needed. If you don’t mind climbing for the bunk bed, that room room offers a couch, which I found more useful than having a big bed.

Very good location

The location is very closed to JR station. Good for family trip. There are many local restaurants and convenience stores.

Ryogoku station is just across the street. There are many restaurants and cafes around. A convenience store (Family Mart) Is also very near. While near the train station, there is very little not even noticeable noise heard from our room. Akihabara “Electric Town” is just 2 stops away from the station.

Amenities are complete, i would say exceedingly more than midrange hotels in the Philippines. There is no complimentary bottled water though as they say it is not standard in Japan where tap water is safe to drink.

Customer service is excellent as well, thanks to Yuna (not sure about the spelling) and her superior.

This hotel is highly recommended.

Great

Very good value. Close to many restaurants, and basically in front of the train station. 
Beware though that during operating hours you can hear the trains (until 00:30) but for me it was more than okay.

The room was a bit small but surprisingly had a balcony overlooking the subway. The subway station is right downstairs, and there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, making transportation and dining incredibly convenient.

The hotel felt a bit old overall, but the location was good. During the National Day holidays, everything was expensive, so the 'Two Countries' hotel (两国美景酒店) was relatively cheaper, with a corner twin room costing just over 1200. The room was spacious and came with an entryway, allowing me to fully open one suitcase there, while another could be brought into the main room and opened simultaneously. The beds were also large, feeling like 1.1-1.2 meters wide each, not the small 0.9-meter ones. A slight downside was that the hotel is right next to the JR line, so you'd feel vibrations and hear some noise when trains passed. It wasn't a big deal if you used earplugs. The hotel was cleaned daily and was quite tidy. Check-out was at 11 AM, which was better than 10 AM, and they offered free luggage storage on the 3rd floor. There was no washing machine at the hotel. The nearest laundromat was a 6-minute walk away, with separate washers and dryers. A wash cost 400, and 10 minutes of drying was 100. It closed at midnight. There was another 24-hour laundromat 10 minutes away that had combined washer-dryers, costing 800-1000 yen per cycle.

Being right by the subway station, with a 7-Eleven, McDonald's, and a coffee shop downstairs, along with various food options on the street, made it incredibly convenient! The self check-in was super easy. The triple room was a bit cramped, but that's typical for Japanese rooms.
