ONE@Tokyo by insomnia is a design hotel located just a 3-minute walk from Oshiage Station, the nearest station to Tokyo Skytree. From the rooftop terrace, guests can enjoy an unobstructed, close-up view of the Skytree, experiencing its impressive scale and presence. The scenery changes throughout the day—from morning to evening and night—offering a different atmosphere each time.
The hotel features a 24-hour free-use lounge on the first floor, where complimentary bread and drinks are available at any time. Beer, wine, and Japanese sake can also be enjoyed for a small additional fee. Board games and free bicycle rentals are offered to enhance the stay and encourage relaxed exploration of the neighborhood.
Both Haneda Airport and Narita Airport can be reached directly without transfers. From Oshiage Station, guests have direct subway access to popular areas such as Asakusa, Shibuya, and Higashi-Ginza (Ginza just a short walk away). Designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, the hotel provides a refined yet approachable base for experiencing Tokyo.
"Overall I did enjoy my stay here. I think the hotel feels quite modern and has some amenities that make it quite appealing to travelers who may be on a budget. I'll start off with the Pros:
1. Location is pretty good - its close to the skytree and public transportation is easily accessible via that station. Depends on what you're looking to do but most places aren't that far to get to. Plus I like having a location that isn't too loud either which this spot does a good job at. Some konbini, super market, and food options around as well.
2. The lobby area is quite nice. You get free refreshments, bread, games, books, and a very nice area to sit in. If you just need to have a small breakfast or do some work or just chill with your friends with some games or even solo - it is a very nice area.
3. The hotel feels quite modern with it's design.
4. Lighting can be adjusted: I deeply appreciate rooms that allow you to adjust the lighting since certain rooms can be too bright at night or too bright when I have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night - here it's adjustable.
5. Some other things include that I thought the AC had good control, things were relatively clean. Of course the room is a bit small but it doesn't really bother me since I expect it and I'm just using the room to sleep basically.
6. Friendly staff
7. Windows can be opened - for some fresh air
8. Bed is long enough (I need a bed to be at least 1.95m) However, if you are sleeping with someone in the double bed, I would say its a bit too small for that. Width I didn't mesaure but standard double bed probably
Cons:
1. No blackout shades is the biggest one. If you are sensitive to light in the morning and don't wanna wake up too early, you'll probably need an eye mask. I prefer not sleeping with an eyemask if possible but there's no blackout shades
2. I thought the bed was just ok, but I didn't particularly enjoy the pillows. Think they have a weird texture on the inside of it. Not terrible, but I would switch if possible.
Overall I enjoyed it especially since this was one of the more affordable ones for my budget and I do recommend it!"
