Find Hotels in Sugamo, Japan

I booked a non-smoking twin room. The hotel is not located in the popular area so I can rest after shopping really well plus the hotel is so close to the station just 1-2mins walk from Sugamo station and so easy to go to other where else in Tokyo cause Sugamo is in Yamanote line(the loop line that run around Tokyo in a circle, pass many tourist attraction and able to transfer to other line and subway easily) The room was cozy and looks chic. And there's many sockets!! 2sockets on the bed wall, 2sockets on the dressing table, 1socket under the mini refridgerator and 1sockey in the bath room. There is 2 convenience stores around (7-11 and Family mart), 24hours food shop nearby and also Matsumoto kiyoshi, a drug store for cosmetics shopping. The JP post office is right next to the hotel, this place you can withdraw your money(most of JP post office have an ATM corner(actully the post office is red but if there's a ATM it'll be a green sign next to the red one), I reccommend to use because the exchange is lower than other banks(a fee is cheaper than using ATM in 7-11 or lawson too) and easy to find. The staff are so helpful, after check-out they can keep your luggages till 9pm on that day.

Here are the pros: (1) It is within 3min walk from JR Sugamo Station. Taking the JR Yamamoto Line from there, you can reach Shinjuku Station within 15min. (2) Many nice restaurants nearby which sell at a reasonable price. The Seiyu supermarket which opens 24hr is within 1min walk. (3) Staff are polite and helpful. Room was tidy and clean. The central heating was strong enough. There are microwave oven and laundry machines on the 8/F. Facilities are great. The only cons I could think of is the location. Sugamo is a convenient location to stay at when you aim to visit the middle-upper half of Tokyo (e.g. Shinjuku, Harajuku, Ueno, Imperial Palace, Hibiya, etc.). It will take you just 15-25mins. If you go further south (e.g. Roppongi, Tsukiji Fish Market, Odaiba, etc), it will take you 45-60mins. For the avoidance of doubt, this is NOT the fault of the hotel. The hotel itself is really really great. But please make sure you take into account the transportation time of your trip.

best place I stayed in my Japan trip in terms of comfort! it was very clean and warm, shared rooms were like a faux capsule hotel, being surrounded on all sides was nice and made the individual sections quieter than usual. fantastic location, you can easily get a short train to the action on the east of tokyo(like shibuya etc.) or the West side (ueno, akihabara) as it's right in the middle and super close to sugamo JR station. it wasn't very social when I stayed, but 10/10 would definitely stay again!!!

Best price, I believe this is the cheapest hostel in Tokyo city centre. Wonderdul location if you carry the JR pass. Located on the outskirt of metro system. Room is relatively clean. It really depends on the people whom you share the room with. I think I got lucky and stayed in the dorm room on first floor, separated from the main building. The guys sharing the same room were always quiet. They don't really have an reception. The checkin was pretty confusing. The staff stays in one of the private rooms, it's on the 2nd floor in the main building. You knock on his door and wait for him to come out and show you the bed that you will be staying in. Tiny "common area". They have a small fridge and microwave oven for guests. Considering the price per night, can't complain.

This place is not for people who read reviews. This small, thin-walled, three bedroom apartment sitting directly above a snack bar gives out ear plugs for all of its patrons due to it being open until 4am on some nights. The staff are only there long enough to clean and then leave. As a result of this, if you book with them then you must pay online and then they will send you a four code to enter the hostel. No one in the area seems to know that this place exists and aside from a small sign I found only by reading every sign on that street corner. The other facilities (toilets, showers, etc.) are good and if you are only staying here to adventure around Tokyo as a solo traveler as I was, (essentially only using the hostel as a storage place and a pilow) then this place is for you. It has great access to Komagome station and a wonderful community with great food and convenience stores. But the snack bar is why the ratings for this hostel are so low.

The only positive thing is that the apartment is close to the station. The negative: the check-in process was different from what the owner described. It's necessary to make photos of passport etc. on a slow android device and the whole thing took us forever to finally get the room password. The apartment is tiny, hardly enough space to store the baggage. The bathroom height is way too low, I could not stand straight and taking a shower is almost impossible. To see my face in the mirror I had to kneel on the floor. People in front of the building were smoking all the time and the cigarette smell came into the room. The water quality was awful. When I filled my bottle with the tab water there were many small black stones or something in the water. Worst of all: Wifi was not working on my phone, I just saw the wifi of the other rooms but not for our room. I contacted the owner 10 or more times but I never got an answer. No help at all. I can't recommend that place, book a hotel instead.

At first I was quite worried because this was like my first time booking Agoda Homes. Japan has many budget hotels. However, they are perfect for a solo traveler. I looked for budget hotel for couple as well as the privacy and then I found this apartment. Several days before my arrival, I keep contact with the owner via Agoda Chat, and Exon was really helpful. Exon sent me the guideline, FYI this apartment is self check-in. I never meet anyone during my stay. Amenities was perfect, same like hotel would give for the bathroom set: Shampoo, Soap, Conditioner. This apartment has mini bathtub, enough for 1 person. The shower is right above the mini bathtub itself. Towels for 2, even lotion. Oh, there were plasters as well. The bathroom was also occupied with hairdryer. AC is double function: heater and AC. The kitchen sink and utensils are complete, even soap for dish wash. They provide microwave outside the room. Location is near to convenience store, train station, just few walks

Pros - Excellent location, close to station, with a lot of restaurants & shops nearby - Room is clean - Wifi is fast Cons - Trash: have to keep in the room throughout your stay - TV: more like a computer mon, can only watch in certain angles - "Kitchen": just a sink without a stove, which is pointless for a tiny room - Cloakroom: only 2 hangers We also encountered some communication problem with the host. After booking, we decided to stay for 1 more day, I asked if it's possible to change to another available room, but the host asked me to just book another room directly (which I dun need 2 rooms!). It took me several attempts to explain the situation, they ended up asked me to contact Agoda by myself. Throughout the whole process, it gave u a feeling that it's a robot replying u. Instead of a direct answer, they asked u to refer to the details of the listing. Afterall it's still a good choice if u don't expect any communication with the host and adjustments to the trip.

We were very pleased with our stay at Exsaison! It was easy to find, with it being incredibly close to the train station. The room was clean, and bed very comfortable. The only thing we were quite disappointed about was the fact we didn't meet any member of staff, ever! It would have been nice to see someone. Because of this, it seems that they don't clean rooms at all throughout your stay. We stayed for 7 nights, and didn't really have a problem with no cleaning being done - but we did have a problem with the fact nobody collects your rubbish (we ended up having to leave a huge back of rubbish, which made the room smelly after 7 nights). We also met others who were staying here who needed assistance from staff: one persons WiFi wouldn't work, one couldn't check in, and the other was just generally looking for staff. Everytime I had to help them, and when I couldn't help them in the end I had to tell them to email the owner.
