Reviews of Economy Hotel Hoteiya

Good things first. Good locating, friendly and helpful staff, very cheap, supermarket right next door, around 15 minutes walk to 3 train lines in one station, huge refrigerator in room, very clean, extremely fast internet, electric bidet in all western toilets, public bath was very clean and relaxing. Now for the bad, only 1 wester toilet per floor and 1 squat, I only saw 2 showers for the full building, the bed is only 1 very thin cushion and 1 small thin pillow, you must be very quiet 24/7, rooms are suuuuuuper tiny, I felt like I was in a prison. Overall would I book again? Only if I had no other option, If I had a super tiny budget or if it was for 1 day only, otherwise I wouldn't come back, don't get me wrong, the workers and location where really good and helpful, I was just very uncomfortable for 4 days but you might actually love it more than I did.

It was a reasonable price. But I didn't like it to be so dark all the time, although it was supposed to be for energy-saving. But I feel like it was for saving money only, while the guests are suffering from a dim light. I can't accept the toilet being so dark since it makes it feel dirty, while it was not.

Everything was OK. Stuff at check in counter from 7:00 to 22:00, a little bit english speaking. Room, bathroom and shower were clean. Hotel provides hot water and tea, laundry. Thank you!

It was alright. Mostly clean and there were amenities like a toothbrush.

The hotel has a friendly and helpful staff. It's about a 10 minute walk from the train station with several fast food restaurants nearby, and there are three to five convenience stores within a 3-minute walk of the hotel. Internet is reliable. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Toilets and showers are shared, but over a four night stay, I never had to wait to use one.

There was just a bar of soap -- not hand soap -- in the communal sink area. Plus, the cleaning staff was loud. But the window ventilation worked.

Good place for solo travelers. Nice vibe and conveniences. Recommend to whom finding a budget hostel price and easy to get on the train with nearby train station, it’s just 10min walking. Staffs are friendly and be able to help you with any requests of the guests.

The hotel is pretty old, and the room is extremely small for 2 people to stay.

The location is around 10 minutes walk from the subway station. As it may close to the street, a little bit noisy. The price was ok. There are only two shower room on the first floor. Just for one stay is ok

The owner and his wife impressed me with their care and curtesy. I appreciate that.

Loved this hotel they have everything I need, there is supermarket convenience store around the area.  it’s easy to commute around the tourist attraction. 

It’s close to train station and was clean,staff was very friendly and polite

Too far from attractions

The hotel is located close to Asakusa, but the public facilities are insufficient. The special immersion bath has a time limit for men and women. Men cannot enter after 20:50. There is not enough space and the time limit is limited. You cannot use it after 10 pm. The shower room is in the lobby, not on every floor. There are not enough for many people in line. The washing machine and dryer are placed in the same space as the kitchen. The door is locked after 22:00 and can only be taken at 7:00 in the morning. Please pay attention to the time of use if you stay. The staff is friendly and reluctant to accept. You don’t have to pay for the broken umbrella. The bed in the room is thin and the pillow is as hard as sand. However, there is a smoking room and Wi-Fi. Slippers, razor, a towel, bathrobe and toothpaste are acceptable
