I must say it was definitely a rare and unique experience to stay under the working JR railway. However, the room I stayed was far away from relaxing to stretch out your body after a long flight or busy days with sightseeing. I booked room type F but the room description was misleading. It said 2x single beds 1x bunk bed, but it was actually 2x bunk beds. Everything was so minimal. You won’t get those amenities available at other hotels of the same price range.

Excellent but with a caveat
Staying in this hotel is a very unique and interesting experience. Excellent location. Amazing staff. Very clean, but this is not a traditional hotel - not in a bad sense though if you are open to non traditional ways of accommodation. A word of caution: if you have low tolerance of noises ( thinking about trains passing literally overhead) you might want to think twice before booking this one.

We ended up arriving in Tokyo a night early so we booked here to stay for one night. Very comfortable and everyone was really nice at the front desk. The train is loud, but really wasn't a big deal. We enjoyed our night here.

The location was amazing! I would definitely stay here again. Although our group of 4 was cramped in there, we didn’t stay for too long in the room and it was very convenient to reach the train station. My only complaint is that the sides by the beds are very very dusty. Other than that, no complaint.

Quirky stay in great location.
This is a fantastic little hotel in the heart of a bustling neighborhood but on a side street that isnt too busy. We came here straight off the plane and jetlagged. I had lost my passport and the receptionist called the police and helped me find it. Their service was fantastic and it was such a unique space to be in You can hear the trains, they run right over regularly however they didn't bother us at all and I found them strangely soothing. There is a cafe bar linked to the hotel, really lovely, great spot for a morning coffee

Location was the best part of this hotel. Thankfully it was only one night but, the noise from the subway (which was expected) wasn’t even the worst part. The room had 2 beds but the room itself was so small, the washroom was tiny and so small that half the sink was in the bathtub. One of my roommates ended up hurting his shoulder on the corner of the wall, another roommate his hit head. Waking up in the middle of the night to use the washroom was a hazard

Knowing the hotel is literally under a railway, we expected it to be quite noisy from trains. They run very regularly during the day but stop around 10pm and start again around 6am...so it doesn't affect sleeping. It's quite a rhythmic sound once you get used to it! Otherwise a lovely, modern, well-appointed and spacious room for our family of four. Perfectly located to explore Akihabara...and obviously conveniently close to train stations! If you don't mind a bit of clickety-clack overhead and plan on only using the hotel to sleep and shower, you will love it :)

I was worried about the train noise at first, but I ended up finding it to be somewhat soothing. This is a no frills hotel situated right near the heart of Akihabara. The front desk area is also a very pleasant cafe.

Nice place with a few things to pick
Quadruple room was good for the three of us. Noise is actually not that loud. Would had welcomed a laundry area with coin washing machine (had to go to suehirocho coin laundry during our stay). Toilet was too cramped for a big sized person like me. I had to go to the guest toilet at the lobby.

Decent hotel w/ a few caveats
I'm was a pretty decent stay, 4/5. We booked a double bed room with a bathroom. It was relatively small and we barely had room to open our 2 suitcases. The bathroom is tiny - there isn't much leg space in front of the toilet and the sink hangs half way into the shower, but despite this everything was still suitably usable for a single person. the trashcan in the room is very small, so we would recommend disposing of some of your trash in the cafe at the front of the hotel if necessary. In generally, all the ceilings are rather low, such as many things in Japan, so you may be uncomfortable if you are a tall person. There will definitely be railway sounds ranging from soft to loud, but that can't be helped as the hotel is directly underneath one, and if you are a heavy sleeper like us, it will not keep you from sleeping. We had one cleaning during our stay of 4 nights where they changed out our towels and cleaned/folded our sheets, and the staff are all very polite. As mentioned before, the hotel front is actually a cafe where you can order some pretty decent food and drinks, and will serve as a great place to relax and sit if you find there is not enough room in your hotel unit to sit. They provide free slippers, toiletries, etc in the front which you can take as needed. Hotel is just a few minutes walk from Akihabara as well as Akihabara station, so proximity wise the location is great. Overall a pretty decent hotel for the price.
