Vessel Inn Takadanobaba Ekimae

This was the best hotel we stayed in Japan! It was so close to several train stations that it made traveling to nearby neighborhood VERY easily. We were even able to easily travel to Tokyo Station with our luggage to make it to the shinkansen. Also, their breakfast was AMAZING! They had sashimi and ikura to make chirashi bowls, along with other Japanese breakfast items. My mom especially loved their miso soup. The rooms were also very clean! The room was slightly small but so are other hotels in japan so it was not a big deal.

The hotel has a great location. Good accessible by public transit and right across a 7/11. The rooms are cleaned upon request, which in our case we liked a lot since you have more control about your stay. Amenities are in the lobby for you to grab whenever you need them and if you need them. This reduces waste. All in all, it was a great experience.

Despite the small size of the room, everything is well organized & it feels like the room is actually bigger. Everything was new & it was really nice to be able to cast our smartphone on the TV 👌. Breakfast is also quite good.

+ Friendly, helpful staff who spoke English. + Clean rooms. + Great if you are a private person and don't like staff entering your room. They ask at check-in if you want your room cleaned every day. But they will still give you towels outside your door every day, and you can place your bin outside for cleaning also. + Good location. You can get to the subway via the hotel elevator or go across the road to the JR line. + Good amenities. Access to free water, ice machine as well as laundry and vending machines on the floor on the hotel room.

The rooms were clean, spacious compared to Japan standards and well equipped with kettle, microwave and fridge. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating of our special requests as we had a child. The location is very convenient in terms of public transport, shopping and food. Breakfast buffet had many options also for vegetarians (rice porridge, soup, bread, fruits etc.)
