What makes the hotel stand out

Travel Gay describes the hotel as “popular with gay guests” and gives just “a couple of minutes’ walk” to the scene; The Gay Passport lists it in its gay hotel guide as particularly well located for Ni-chōme. You can hardly stay closer to the bars in Tokyo.

Rooms and amenities

The rooms are typical of the chain: small, clean and functional. There’s a large bath with hot tub, separated by gender. Guests praise the location and value for money but criticise the very cramped rooms.
