Dogenzaka, Tokyo hotel rooms at the Ishin

"The breakfast buffet is top notch ! Recommend it highly "

"Checking in was quite challenging and even though I had prepaid for my rooms the reservation was not available on the kiosk so it took a long time to get things settled."

"The room was properly kept."

"Room was in new condition and clean, staff was very friendly. Area outside was seedy but interesting"

"The room was a perfect size and not too small. The staff were extremely helpful. If you select the breakfast there get there at 6:25am. The restaurant gets extremely packed. Other than that, I will be using this hotel again for future visits."

"It was excellent, and I am told by Japanese friends that this was the best APA hotel they have seen. Three problems: 1) The windows didn't open 2) The A/C on the room only made it cooler, not hotter. There was a dial to adjust the temperature, but the man at the front desk told me that did not work. You could only make it cooler. This seemed very strange. But he kindly gave me a plug-in heater for my room. 3) The ELEVATORS ARE A MESS. It takes a long, long time for the to come and then sometimes they are so full you can't get in. 4) The hotel needs to make it clear to guests that there are TWO Ryogoku stations, one for the Metro and one for JR trains. My first night, the man at the desk did not ask my which one I wanted, and he sent me to the wrong one. "

"I found it rare that the hotel had an additional fee for my husband staying with me (total guest 2) since that’s ever the case in other hotels. However the hotel was clean and had a nice view. Easy access to the train station. "

"Good location"

"Excellent hotel"
