Suzuka Vacations from $267

The hotel has a great location, within walking distance of SAKAE Station, and there’s a Don Quijote (DONKI) right around the corner, which was very convenient for food, shopping and everyday essentials. The hotel lobby is located on the 3rd floor. However, the building entrance isn’t exclusive to the hotel, as there are restaurants on the basement, 1st and 2nd floors. The lift is also shared with the restaurants at 1st and 2nd floors in the building. That said, you need to tap your room key in the lift to access the hotel room floors, which provides some security. Unfortunately, as a female solo traveller, I didn’t feel particularly safe staying here. After around 9pm every night, there were often groups of people, mainly men, standing around DONKI and near the hotel entrance. During my stay, I was approached by a man near the hotel at night who asked me if I wanted to sleep with him. It was an uncomfortable experience, and I didn’t feel safe until I had entered my room. I understand that this may not be something the hotel can directly control, but given the price I paid, I expected the surrounding area and hotel entrance to feel more secure. Personally, I don’t feel the hotel was worth the price, especially as a solo female traveller. On the positive side, the hotel staff were really nice and friendly, and the location is certainly convenient.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was incredibly kind! The one concern I have is regarding their smoking vs non smoking rooms. A friend booked a non-smoking room, which it was, however, it seemed like half of the floor was smoking and the other half not. The floor reeked of second hand smoke and it could be smelled through the room, though less potent. It was pretty potent. I would encourage the hotel to make the entire floor non smoking or figure out a way to fix the smell of the second hand smoke.

Great service and room was excellent.

Solo stayed and the staff was proficient enough in English to help me with my stay. Room cleaning is every other day unless you request, which is no issue they always provide an extra set of towels on the door even if you request for no housekeeping. Free items like comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, bath towel for you to take at the front desk. Luggage forwarding is an option to send suitcase to next hotel for a fee. The coin laundry on 14th floor and you can monitor the progress of each machine to know when each machine is free to use or when yours is done as well
