What makes the hotel stand out

Travel Gay calls the Tateshina a budget option “a short walk” from Ni-chōme; The Gay Passport lists it in its gay hotel guide for Tokyo and praises the quiet location with good connections. If you’re mostly out at night and just need a clean bed, you’ll be as close to the scene here as hardly anywhere else at this price.

Rooms and amenities

The rooms are air-conditioned, clean and simple, with private bathroom and free Wi-Fi; the staff speak some English. Guests praise the location and quiet but criticise the very basic, dated furnishings.
