Room was very large for Tokyo standards. The check-in and check-out process were incredibly smooth, and the staff was helpful and friendly. Location is convenient!

The Jimboucho Sotetsu Fresa Inn is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, on a street that is primarily used for walking (plus work trucks and taxis), next to a great bakery (Little Mermaid). The street has several book shops, and a 7/11 konbini. Around the corner you can find a family mart a couple minutes away by walk, and in the other direction there is a McDonalds less than 5 minutes away. The subway station is no more than 7 minutes away on foot, the location is wonderful. The staff were great, friendly and had very good English. The building is nice, it seems to have been renovated. The room was quite nice, plenty clean, a little tight but I expect that is common in Tokyo hotels and I had a single bed. The bathroom was a comfortable size, and the bath was nice, although the tub filled up more slowly than another hotel I was in. The other hotel had very high water pressure, this one was not bad, just normal, so for the huge Japanese style bath, it took nearly a half-hour to fill up. Not a big problem if you plan ahead. The bed was comfortable enough that I almost forgot to mention it, I suppose that means it was very comfortable; it is ideal when the bed is so good you forget about it. At the end of the road towards the subway station there was always a line of taxis lined up after dark each night, which may be convenient for night life visits. The neighborhood was in close walking distances to several musical instrument shops and winter sport shops too. And only about a 20 minute walk away from Akihabara, which I walked to and from several times, once just for the KFC there. Overall it was a great stay and I would gladly stay there again if I get an opportunity to.

The location is fantastic, just one train stop to Akihabara (or walking distance if you want to avoid crowded trains, or miss the last train). It’s also within walking distance of several train lines and lots of food options, so very easy to use the hotel as your base and move around Tokyo. It’s in the middle of the used bookstore district so there are lots of book stores nearby for those who like that sort of thing, but also plenty of other shops such as stationary stores and drugstores for your shopping needs. The hotel is directly across from a Daiso and Doutor cafe so was convenient to grab whatever we needed. It was super easy to check in and check out using the automated machine in the reception. The staff were very nice and helpful, including providing change when we needed it for the coin laundry. The room layout was well designed, and spacious for a hotel in Japan for this price bracket. There was also an air purifier and humidifier combo in the room which we used liberally. The coin laundry was super simple to use and there were also vending machine and ice machine options.

Perfect location, it's very close to Jimbocho station, plenty of stores, cafes and restaurants to explore. Streets are lively but not overcrowded and it isn's a very touristy location. The facilities are very nice and the staff is very kind and helpful. You have the option to wash your clothes at the hotel, there are vending machines too if you need a cold drink which I think is a great bonus to consider. Convenient stores are very close by as well.

The location and the morning buffet. The hotel is located really close to a metro station that'll get you to any of the more active hotspots quite quickly. The street is quite cozy with a lot of small shops and restaurants. Also it's not over-crowded with tourists. Walking distance to Akihabara as well. For morning breakfast you get to choose from a set of pastries (there are non-sweet options) - they were quite delicious.

It was the best hotel experience. Perfect location. Next to lost metro lines, walkable if you enjoy walking from many famous location. Next to it there was an amazing bakery that we ate breakfast every morning. The had an option of cleaning or only changing towels. Very tourist friendly, the staff could speak basic English to communicate. The had service to send luggage.

The location is great, close to 2 tube stations and in a very nice area. Lots of good restaurants, cafes and shops around. Breakfast at the hotel is so lovely! It is served in a Little Mermaid Cafe right next to the hotel and it’s delicious pastry. Highly recommended.

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Ochanomizu Jimbocho is a great hotel in an excellent location — just a short walk to Jimbocho Station, which connects easily to places like Shibuya, Ginza, and Shinjuku. . There are lots of amenities available, which made our stay really convenient. The staff was kind and helpful throughout. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again!
