Ikaho Stone Steps Vacations from $5,292

Very comfortable place. Clean and upscale with very good breakfast. Will stay again

I normally don't leave reviews, but this one was so extraordinary that I felt genuinely compelled to write one. This MONday Apart hotel is one of the best I've experienced, and it embodies everything Japan is known for - being clean, well-kept, organized, quiet, accommodating, and more. On the day of travel, when I encountered some issues with flight delays, the hotel was very understanding and accommodating in allowing me to check-in past midnight. The hotel itself is clean, well-equipped, and roomy for being located in central Tokyo. The bed was comfortable that I slept like a baby in its mother's arms, and with appliances, utensils, and free toiletries on offer, the hotel had no issues meeting my needs. Throughout my stay, any concierge member I encountered was polite and professional, making their best efforts to speak in English. However, perhaps the best feature had to be its location: located in a smaller alley within a small neighbourhood, you feel very much integrated in the community, while not sacrificing on walkability and transportation options. You are within minutes of walking distance to T-CAT and Suitengumae Station (Hanzomon), making it an absolute breeze to move to/from the airports (NRT & HND) and other parts of Tokyo. The whole integrated experiences from the room to the staff to its location made my stay THAT much better, and I cannot recommend this place enough. Seriously - just book it, because this place is well worth your hard-earned money and time.

The room was smaller than expected. For non native speakers we had to figure out on how to use the room. There was a place next to the door to insert a card to turn on the lights and ac. When we first arrived the jet was almost unbearable and I had to use an app to translate the thermostat. My biggest complaint is that a Cartier bag got thrown away by housekeeping. I wonder what else got thrown away that we didn’t notice. However, overall the staff is very friendly and we’re able to communicate effectively in English. There’s a food court at the train station. A restaurant on the first floor and several dining options at a nearby mall. The hotel is located in a very convenient location if you are planning to take public transportation with a train station and bus stops nearby. There is a shuttle that stops nearby the hotel from Haneda Airport that cost 2000 yen. However, I wouldn’t plan on washing your clothes at the hotel. The dryers are inadequate for large loads and can only support up to 5 kilos. I had to dry my clothes for over two hours and they still weren’t completely dry. Overall it was a good experience and would stay there again if the needs arose.

Close to everything great place to stay if Tokyo is your home base for your trip.

nice clean hotel, elevators are a bit slow
