Super Hotel Tokyo Kinshicho Ekimae

As all Superhotels the main point is that they're are affordable AND comfy, this is the case as well with the Kinshicho Ekimae. Strong points are: - Location, right next to a JR station so Japan Railpass users can rest assured, the square in front of the station is full of coffee shops (including one little coffe shop called Mountain Coffee which I CANNOT stress enough how much of a lovely coffee shop it is, it really elevates the experience in the Superhotel having that little shop so close, wonderful homemade pancakes and coffee breakfasts, I tell you it's really worth it only for that), there's also a mall, a Don Quijote in case you want to buy some weird knick knacks, fast food restaurants the likes of Yoshinoya and Matsuya, izakayas/ramen restaurants/sushi restaurants all in the same street as the hotel. ***Interesting/Recommended spots near it: The Hokusai museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Sumida river promenades, the Sumo Arena Kokugikan, Tokyo TeamLab AND Tokyo Skytree (which contains one of the few Ghibli official shops in Tokyo) . Also worth mentioning it's only a 30' train/underground trip to the traditional Asakusa/Taito ward. - The staff: super helpful and friendly, we had a little trouble with the TV in our room and in 5 minutes it was already fixed as if nothing had happened. Fast and efficient performance! - Traditional bath available: one of the services this hotel offers is a traditional onsen inside the hotel which is open 24h so you can enjoy a nice bath after walking all around Tokyo during the day. IN SHORT: The Kinshicho Ekimae is a really convenient hotel located in the Sumida ward, super well-connected thanks to the Kinshicho Station, surrounded by all the businesses you may need, in a nice and lovely neighbourhood and also close to main interesting spots to visit while in Tokyo.

Location is prefect! A short 3 minutes walk from the JR station or 5 minutes to the Metro station. Our room has a beautiful view of the Tokyo Sky Tree. Supermarkets and shops right next to the station and plenty of dining options around the area. Although the reception lady doesn't speak much of English, she is very friendly and helpful. Reasonable priced and good breakfast options, we do like the fresh pastry !!

The hotel's location is amazing, with a department store opposite and plenty of local restaurants nearby. It really feels like home. After spending time in the city, we always return to the area around our hotel for dinner. It's less expensive and offers lots of choices. Lawson and Don Quijote are right next door. We loved the free breakfast with its Japanese style offerings, nice pastries, and coffee. The only downside is the distance—you might need to take two trains or subways to reach major areas. However, it’s manageable, and we were able to take the subway directly from the hotel to Shibuya.

14 years ago super hotels was outstanding in price/quality, these days i'm a bit less enthousiastic. very good: staff is very nice. cushions cabinet is still great. i was surprised to find the public bath (last minute reservation, was in a hurry). it was the most pleasant surprise! no checking out procedure; Breakfast okay, except:

Breakfast was limited but generally great for what is on offer. The bakery bread is probably one of the nice items in the breakfast menu and other items were enough to fill your morning needs. Location is great because its surrounded by restaurants, malls (a bit of walking for those with limited mobility but very doable) and a don quijote close by. Getting to and from the airport is relatively easy during normal hours because the trains connect to the main stations. I also loved the small onsen bath, its not usually busy so its a nice place to relax after a days' walking. Tip: the metro subway isn't always the best transport option because the JR lines and the buses are so much more accessible from the hotel.
