Every time I visit Tokyo, I always choose to stay at Sotetsu Tamachi. The location is very convenient, with the train station nearby and plenty of useful facilities around the area.
(Self-Laundry, coffee shops, konbini, etc.)
I usually book a room in the Annex Building. Although there are no staff at the reception counter, I actually enjoy the self-service concept, it makes the place feel more like coming back to my own little home in Tokyo. The complimentary amenities available at the counter are very well stocked, so I rarely need to buy extra toiletries during my trips to Japan.
I especially love their cleansing oil! The individual packets are super convenient, gentle on the skin, and remove makeup really well. Whether I visit in spring, summer, or autumn, it always leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable.
During this summer trip, they even provided cooling face towels late at night, while during my spring & fall visit, they had face masks available.
Another thing I really appreciate is the drinking water. This is one of the very few hotels where I feel completely comfortable drinking tap water, as there is no unpleasant taste or smell.
Overall, this is the hotel I feel most comfortable and at ease staying at in Tokyo. Every time I return, it genuinely feels like coming home.
