9/10 Wonderful! (5,604 reviews)
"Great location! We stayed because of the Godzilla factor and it was worth it. The hotel was clean, room size was not too bad considering the Tokyo standard. I thought it was a good location but it is the rowdy part of Tokyo so be warned. I stayed with my 13 year old and enjoyed it."
