Hotels near Daimon Station, Tokyo

The room was tiny; we could only open our luggage in the hallway. Housekeeping wasn't daily (only once every 3 days), and only towels were replaced. The hotel's Wi-Fi was incredibly unreliable, constantly cutting out and very slow, even the room-specific connection. The hotel is about a 7-8 minute walk from the nearest subway station, and there's a 24-hour Lawson convenience store right downstairs. On a side note, the front desk staff's attitude towards Chinese guests wasn't bad, but they weren't particularly enthusiastic either. I noticed a female front desk staff member, wearing glasses, bowing and escorting Western guests all the way to the elevator, which made me feel a bit disappointed. One more thing about the room rates: the hotel sometimes offers very cheap prices on the day of check-in (I assume they lower prices last minute if rooms don't sell at a higher rate). This feels unfair to those of us who paid in advance for non-refundable bookings.

The room looks pretty much like the pictures. The hotel reception is on the second floor; you'll see a FamilyMart convenience store on the street level, and the hotel is right above it. You need to use your key card to access the rooms via the elevator. It's a relatively new hotel, and when you pull back the roller blinds, you're greeted with a night view. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Yamanote Line.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, being just a 5-minute walk from both Daimon Subway Station and Hamamatsucho Train Station. There are numerous restaurants nearby, and Tokyo Tower is only 1 km away. It also offers convenient access to Haneda Airport and Disneyland. The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, always greeting guests with a warm smile when they enter and leave. The hotel maintains excellent cleanliness, with rooms being cleaned very promptly. The only drawback is that the room is quite small; once two large suitcases are opened, there's virtually no space left. It is best suited for a solo traveler or an adult with one small child.

I think this is probably the best bang out of your buck when you stay in Tokyo. Clean, spacious (Tokyo standard) convenient. Daimon station is literally outside of your hotel, easy to get to airport as it has the Haneda express line. I was lucky to get the corner room which is a bit bigger and got one more window. The room service may not be everyday since you need to put the sign before 10am to let them know but the house keeper will leave you a bag of amenities anyway. There was good restaurants, McDonald’s and Lawson around. I went during new years so was good to see the shrine near Tokyo tower. The only nitpicky thing would be they checkout at 10am sharp and check in at 3pm? Whereas other hotels would be 2pm check in and check out at noon or 11.

Everything is excellent, very clean, very cozy, very well-maintained. You can have a spectacular Tokyo's view on the rooftop. Location is convenient as well, you have quick access to every popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo. Staff is professional and super friendly. One staff whose name is Nicole, she is a fantastic staff, very quick-response, very friendly, very gentle, also, she always wears a big smile whenever I see her. This was my second time living in 9th hotel. She was definitely one of the reasons why I came back to 9th so happily and calmly, as I always felt respected and pleased by seeing her affable and sunny smile. I think your staff is really professional and treat customers very well. Nicely done, Nicole and all other 9th hotel's staff crew!! I am very impressive!!

The room isn't huge, but there's enough space to open a 28-inch suitcase. It's clean, tidy, and has a very modern decor. The front desk staff were friendly, and we were able to store our luggage for free both before check-in and on the day of departure. It's close to Daimon Station, making transportation very convenient, and it's also very near the Tokyo Tower. Overall, it was a great stay.

For the last two days of my trip to Japan, I returned to Tokyo and booked a different capsule hotel this time. The Shinbashi KON Hotel is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from JR Shinbashi Station. Check-in is done via a self-service machine, which provides you with a password. It's available 24/7 and very introvert-friendly! The hotel has a total of 3 floors. B1 houses the lounge, laundry room, and showers, while floors 1 and 2 are dedicated to capsule rooms, which are co-ed. Starting with B1, the lounge has reading lights at every seat, plus a fridge, microwave, and sink for simple food preparation. The shower room has over 10 cubicles and 7-8 vanity areas, each equipped with a hairdryer. There's also an abundance of towels available at the entrance. Overall, it's very convenient and offers a good experience. Now, regarding the capsule rooms: each floor's restroom has 4 cubicles, one of which is for men only and contains only urinals. This design seems to maximize efficiency. The hotel's attention to detail is commendable. For instance, the co-ed restrooms are stocked with feminine hygiene products for emergencies, and earplugs are provided in every capsule. These are the strong points of this capsule hotel. However, compared to the other one I stayed at, its drawbacks are also quite noticeable. Firstly, there's no elevator, so climbing stairs repeatedly can be a pain, especially if you have a large suitcase. Secondly, the capsule facilities are quite basic, with just one light and one power outlet. The capsule height is a bit low; my long winter coat, which could hang freely in the other capsule hotel, couldn't here. Finally, each person only gets a very small locker, roughly big enough for a shoulder bag. Neither a backpack nor a suitcase will fit, so everyone's luggage ends up piled in the hallway.

The location is great, about a 10-20 minute walk to the subway station, Ginza shopping street, and Tokyo Tower. While it's a bit of a stroll, it offers excellent value for money, and the room itself is quite spacious, comparable to a high-end business hotel back home like Ji Hotel or Atour. Inside the room, there's a large sofa bed, perfect for extra luggage or belongings. You can easily fit two or three suitcases without feeling cramped. The view from the window in my room was also lovely. The street where the hotel is located has a charming vibe, with many buildings featuring orange facades. The hotel fridge is stocked with complimentary drinks, which are refilled by the housekeeping staff every day. There are also plenty of 24-hour convenience stores downstairs, which is super convenient. Check-in is fully self-service and contactless, using a machine and your passport.

Our five-night stay at the hotel was pleasant. The room was clean and provided toiletries, towels, and robes. Small items were available at the front desk. Towel changes and trash disposal are available daily, and linen changes are included for stays of four or more nights (this can also be requested separately, but may incur an additional fee). The twin-bedded room is pretty small, with a small table and folding chairs. There is enough space to move around even with one medium or large suitcase in the room. Breakfast is about the same every day: eggs, sausage, meatballs, chicken, vegetables with dressings, pastries, and soups. The building also has a washer and dryer, a beverage machine, and a currency exchange machine.i

The hotel facilities are relatively new and clean. The bed size was just right (not like some hotels where it's only 0.8 meters wide), and although the room was small, the layout was reasonable. It had a fridge and a safe, and there were plenty of power outlets in the room. Even though the bed was by the window, it wasn't cold at all in winter because the window had excellent sealing and two layers of blinds – one opaque and one translucent. Breakfast, which I bought separately for 1500 JPY, was nutritious and tasted good; it was nice to have something warm in winter. The only drawback is that the soundproofing is very poor. I could clearly hear noises from the adjacent rooms, whether it was snoring from the guests across the hall or staff cleaning rooms. However, for a hotel of this caliber, you're looking for value for money. It's clean, hygienic, new, has a safe for passports and bank cards, good service, and is affordable (only around 300+ a night in early January), which already meets my needs.
