Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo-Kyobashi

Location - so convenient. Close to two subway stations (same block as Takaracho and one block away from Kyobashi). In fact, one could ride straight to or from Narita airport. But if with a lot of luggage, hotel is just a 10-15 minute walk to Tokyo Station where you can take a bus to and from the airport. If you're traveling with a baby stroller though, do note that taking the lifts from Kyobashi or Takaracho may throw you off to an exit maybe one or two blocks away, but still very walkable. Room - comfortable, clean, and pretty much has everything one should need (some amenities like coffee, tea and toiletries are available for free at the lobby) for a short stay. Special shout-out to their Japanese-Filipino staff, Nicole. Always a relief to have someone speaking your language. Lessens the stress of being in a foreign place. She was new at the property but very helpful and knowledgeable.

The location and staff

Location to the Asakusa and Ginza line is within 1 block, and location to Tokyo station is about 5 blocks. Great location over all, and very quite for being at the city center. I would stay again as a lone traveler. Access to the coin operated washing machine was fantastic, and was one of the reasons we chose the hotel. It was handy for work travel.

I found this hotel through a YouTube vlog and was lucky to book a room since it’s often fully booked. The reception is small but welcoming, with friendly staff and a generous selection of free amenities—teas, facial masks, hair treatments, skincare, and even a hair straightener/curler (to be returned at checkout). The room was compact but manageable for two. We requested extra pillows as only one per person was provided. Pajamas are available near the elevator, and there’s a restaurant downstairs, though we didn’t get to try it. The location is excellent—right by the train station and a convenience store. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and highly recommend this hotel.

The room was very nice despite being small. Location was very good, close to subway stations and commercial centers. It is a good option for someone who is going to a conference in the Tokyo International Forum, since it is just a 10-15 min. walk.
