Ryogoku View Hotel

Staff were very kind and accommodating when a room switch was necessary. There was a problem with the first room we were put in which I will detail in the next question and the staff quickly too action to switch us to a new room. They were extremely communicative, helpful, and fast!

It was my first time staying at Ryogoku View Hotel, and I requested a bunk bed room for two people for a 7-night stay. The room was small but clean and well-ventilated since it had a balcony. The small size of the room wasn't an issue for us, but for persons over 6ft, it may feel quite cramped. The beds had stiff mattresses, which is great for your back, and a single pillow. I'm not sure if you can request more pillows. The bathroom was also small, with the toilet seat right in front of the door. It's a bit tight but again, not too much of an issue. Toiletries were available and the liquid bath soap, shampoo and conditioner was good enough that we didn't feel the need to purchase something different. The shower and bath was lovely since the water was heated at a consistent temperature. Overall, pretty good room and bath! The location of the hotel was the deciding factor when I booked it because it is right in front of Ryogoku station (JR line). All you need to do is cross a little street and walk less than a minute to get to the entrance to the front desk. It's also surrounded by convenience stores (A 7-11 and a NewDays at the station exit, and a Family Mart a little down the road) and has a great selection of restaurants nearby. The staff are wonderful at the hotel, and are so accommodating! We were allowed to store our luggage prior to check-in at 3PM, and even after the 11AM check-out. You just have to let them know what time you'll be around to pick up the luggage. Quick note-- Ryogoku station is on the JR Sobu line, which is a local line which means that it stops at every station on the line. To my knowledge, there are no other lines that stops at this station. To get there from Narita, we took the Keisei Narita Skyaccess line from Narita Airport Terminal 2/3 station to Asakusabashi station , and transferred to the JR Sobu line to Ryogoku Station. This all took about an hour.

We came back to tokyo from kyoto for one night ahead of our flight home and shared one room (me, my husband and my sister). We had three separate beds and a pretty spacious room, considering we had 6 suitcases/ bags between us. The hotel itself was lovely, the staff were incredible and we had a very comfortable night.

The best stay of my trip. Literally next to Ryogoku JR station, very easy to get around. The room was clean and had everything you need. The staff was professional. The price for 2 people in a private room was basically the same with booking 2 dorm beds in other hostels - so this is a much better deal. Glad that I chose this hotel to experience Japanese great hospitality service.

I stayed in the hotel back in 2016 with my friends and I picked it again for my travel with my parents because of the location. it’s 1 minute from the JR ryogoku station so it’s very very convenient(note:cause if it’s proximity, you can hear the trains till about 11pm if that’s gonna be a problem for anyone, we were alright with it). Staffs were extremely polite and friendly throughout our 4 nights stay, always greeted us with a pleasant smile. Rooms and bathroom are both very light airy and spacious, for Japanese hotel standards. hotel provided daily cleaning service, with daily change of towels, toothbrush, slippers, etc. Oh and there’s also lots of food options right outside the hotel. McD, traditional Japanese izakaya, 7/11, daiso, cosmetic and skin care shops, everything. My parents were very happy with the stay here. AC was working and beds were very comfy. Definitely will stay here again on my next visit to Japan.
