Nohga Hotel Akihabara Tokyo

Αν πάω στο Τόκιο, θα κάνω κράτηση μόνο εδώ. Το φαγητό είναι νόστιμο και η τοποθεσία διευκολύνει το ταξίδι.

My partner and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was our favorite place that we stayed during our 3 week trip to Japan. It has some of the largest rooms at a very reasonable mid-range price for Tokyo and it really feels like a four-star hotel. The rooms are still small, but they're definitely more spacious than you're going to find anywhere else at this price range. We really liked the buffet breakfast that was served in the restaurant downstairs every morning. The room is very clean and the shower is a separate room from the toilet and sink area, and the toilet fan works very well. The shower was high enough for my 195 cm partner to be able to shower without crouching, not that small, and had high water pressure and hot water. The hotel staff were very helpful with any questions, the gym had to be reserved for an hour block to be used and only allowed one person at a time, despite being just a block in from the busy Asakusa area, it was very quiet there. One thing that was strange to us was the many, many girls dressed in maid outfits standing on the main street (not outside the hotel) mostly in the evening. It took a while but we finally learned that they are advertising maid cafes or similar style cafes. None of the outfits are particularly provocative and the girls never tried to hand us a flyer since we always walked together, but if you will be male and walking around alone you can expect them to try to hand flyers to the cafes to you, but it's not that bothersome at all. The Asakusa area is known for it's technology and gaming stores, so expect to see a lot of those around. The subway stations are very close by and easy to get to, and the area is extremely safe. Both there and on the rest of our trip we never felt in danger at any point. We both have dietary restrictions that make eating in Japan challenging or extremely limiting at best, and the breakfast had plenty of options that allowed us to fill up and make it until dinnertime before needing another full meal. I am gluten-free, and while some of the rotating breakfast items had gluten, a lot of them didn't. There were eggs and bacon every morning which are an easy win for me, and the different foods are labelled with the broadest allergens (wheat, dairy, egg, etc.) but aren't specific with the ingredients beyond that, such as corn.

The hotel is in an excellent location, just a short walk from the subway station, making it very convenient for transportation. The surrounding area is well-equipped and offers great convenience. The facilities inside the hotel are modern and exceptionally clean. The bathroom has strong water pressure, making showers very enjoyable. While the room size is as expected and not very spacious, the overall design makes it quite comfortable.
