Hotel Maruchu Classico in Tokyo

50% over charge, 50% less service. Not recommended

The room is a little small

Good for solo traveller. Place is clean but thia area lack food options and need to take train to ueno for food. Near to sumida river 20mins walk

Very affordable business hotel with small/single-person rooms. Located very close to Minami-senju station with access to JR Joban, JR Tsukuba Express, and Tokyo Metro Hibiya lines. Not much to do in the immediate area, but there is some good food across the tracks near Minami-senju.

The staff is great. I speak only broken Japanese, but we were able to communicate fine. They are very respectful and helpful.

On-site showers which are 24/7 use, and a sento (communal bath), which is assigned time periods for each gender throughout the day. Both have shampoo, conditioner, and body soap provided. The bathing facilities are very clean.

Free wifi on each floor. Shared facilities: bathrooms (5 toilets on the women's floors), 4 sinks, mirrors, hair dryers, microwave oven, hot water boiler, pants press.

The rooms have a small TV and mini-fridge, as well as a small bedside table. The rooms I was assigned also had a small balcony if you wanted to go outside.

Overall, I am very happy with this place. Next time I am in Tokyo, I will absolutely be staying here.
