UNDER RAILWAY HOTEL AKIHABARA

Big rooms compared to other hotels in Tokyo. The location is just a short walk from Akihabara station, Electric Town, Animate and Bic Camera. The hotel’s location is in the quiet part of Akihabara. Since the hotel is literally built under the railway, you can hear the trains passing thru the tracks so you might feel uncomfortable if you are sensitive to noise. The nearest convenience store is around 300 meters walk.

Nice bed and a bath Be careful with the noise. It is loud

It was well situated, the trains only run till 11 so you don’t have to worry about the noise after that. The bathroom was very uncomfortable.

It’s hard to beat the location. The hotel is extremely affordable. The trains passing were charming and did not bother us at all. It’s a fun and unusual experience. The rooms can accommodate a large group. Breakfast was just packaged cakes. Dinner was packaged curry with rice. There were a lot of tripping and bang-your-head-on-a-low-beam hazards throughout the hotel, not suitable for someone over 5’6” or for older guests. The floor in our room was sticky in one place.

Restroom too small and smelled.

Location, staff, concept The size of the bathroom

The vibe was interesting and the room itself was spacious and nice. The advertisement about “may hear trains” is more “you will hear trains” and not just a little bit, those were quite loud actually.

My 3rd year staying here, feels like home away from home.

Good location, very close to the main station and shops. The bathroom was just a little small, hard to get change in there but no big deal for a short stay.

Location was perfect - close to station and walking distance to Akihabara Electric Town. Rooms were very clean and beds were confortable. I liked the train sounds - sounds a bit like a heartbeat and put me straight to sleep. The coffee at the cafe downstairs was great :) I can't think of anything I didn't like.

The room was extremely tight and small. There was barely enough space to sit down on the toilet bowl without my knees hitting the wall. Very noisy train continuous train noise that you cannot block with earplugs and a sound machine.

Leaving

Location was amazing being a short walk away from Akihabara station, room was clean and comfortable and it was quite a vibe to be under the railway though you can hear when the trains go overhead but that is to be expected

The subway sounds are actually quite loud if you're a bit of a sensitive sleeper. I think a good set of earplugs would solve that no problem though. It'd also be nice if they provided water bottles in the room - you can get water near the front-desk, but the machine only has hot water, and you need to ask the person behind the counter for cold water (and I'm not sure if he's getting filtered water or just tap water). The ventilation is also a bit questionable, since it feels like you're underground.

Wonderful place - fun, clean and great amenities, including a cafe on site. Staff was very helpful. Great location - very close to the train station and Akihabara Electric Town. Some railway noise but not a bother at all!

Great location and great price The bathroom had a bad odor

It was in a very good location and extremely affordable Nothing

2nd time staying at this location and never disappointed. Location to the station couldn't be better. A straight shot to from the hotel to the station at most 5 minute walk. My room was small but I didnt need much room anyway. Train noise is there but it's minimal depending on when you sleep you won't hear anything 430AM - Midnight generally. Overall will stay here again

The room is clean and the staff is kind. The bed we stay is sagging so we didn’t sleep well. The noise from the railway is tolerable for us.

Location and close access to Train, food, shops. Small Bathroom and Train overhead.
