OYO 44568 Hotel Kuramae

I chose this hotel because it was close to the station. Honestly, I should have spent a little more money for a much better hotel. The standards in it are extremely disappointing. As the first location of my Japan trip, it set a poor impression. My room was non-smoking and smelt disgusting. I could barely breathe in the bathroom, and could barely use it. The smell was not only from the bathroom, but on the floor I was staying at as well. The worst part is that you could taste it in the water. Perhaps it was the cleaning products used, but it was almost like a sewage. I had to purchase bottled water to use. The building and rooms are old, would highly recommend you stay somewhere else.

You get what you pay for - This hotel looks like it's from an old 1980's detective film. The check-in staff are kind, mattresses are ok, and the bathrooms aren't terrible, but the shower curtain was moldy. The cleaners do their best but the smell of mold lingers in the hall. The rooms are tiny, even for business hotel standards. The bathrooms are minuscule. The area around the hotel is nondescript, but you can easily walk to some tourist attractions. Just to sleep, perhaps for some adventurers, it's okay. But if not incredibly cash strapped, spend a bit more and go somewhere a bit more comfortable.

The location is perfect, but the facility is too old. When I recharged my mobile, I found the slot too hot. Few moments later, it "BOMB" and some sparks appeared. My translator has been destroyed and broken. Actually it's very dangerous, then I was arranged to move to another room. This room size is bigger. However, the recharge slot in this room is still broken (At least no BOMB this time). I am fine with the staff here but the facility is too disappointing and unacceptable.

1 of the night came back to Hotel, the entrance was blocked by a Tour Group from China about 30 to 40 people, I have to squeeze through to get in the lift. They always talk very loudly at the corridor in the morning and at night, hope next time the Hotel staffs will separate them from other hotel guests

It was a good time there. I enjoyed the air conditioning and vibe of a nostalgic business hotel. The subway is close by with tons of shops and cafes close by. The shower stall was amazing and spacious for a nice sized room. The wifi was acceptable and quick in non peak times. Guest services were more than adequate. I will book again for future trips and my clients on a budget.
