Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nihombashi-Ningyocho

Staff is always very pleasant, rooms are clean and location is very convenient

Quick, easy check in. Kinda staff. Good food. Comfortable bed.

Over-all, this was a good stay. There were, however, a couple of things I'd want other travelers to be aware of. First of all, the staff was absolutely lovely, and check-in was super easy. Even if I had not spoken Japanese, it would have been fine because their English is excellent. The room was spotlessly clean, as one would definitely expect in a Japanese hotel. The other notes: 1) Even for Tokyo, the room is crushingly small. We had 4 large suitcases and we ended up having to block the door if we wanted to open even one of them, as there was absolutely no room anywhere but the tiny entry hall. 2) This had the worst bed I have ever experienced at a hotel. The springs inside the mattress groaned every time my wife took a breath, and if I moved a muscle it was squeak-central. It was also incredibly hard, and there was a bizarre thin ridge right under me that ran the whole length of the bed. 3) Breakfast is provided in-house, and so you may find that there is much more of a wait to get seated and get your food than there might be otherwise. It's not the hotel's fault that everyone chose to eat breakfast at the same time, but that's something I'd like other guests to know for the sake of planning daily departures. 4) The hotel is not very convenient to the metro, and is not really anywhere near any JR train stations. The area really isn't one frequented much by foreigners, it seems, and so may be less desirable to those who speak no Japanese.

Quiet location

Decent size twin room in a quiet part of town.
