TOKYO CITY VIEW HOTEL TABATA-STATION

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great budget hotel with excellent value for money. The hotel is just a 2-minute walk from the South Exit of Tabata Station. This is important, make sure you use the South Exit, otherwise you’ll end up taking a much longer route. The area itself is very quiet, with not much to do nearby, so I wouldn’t choose this hotel for nightlife or shopping. It’s simply a comfortable place to rest after a day of sightseeing. The room was clean, and I really appreciated that they offer triple and quadruple rooms, which are perfect for families or groups of friends. I was lucky enough to stay on the 11th floor (the top floor), and the night view was fantastic. Seeing the city lights from my room was a pleasant surprise. One of my favorite parts of the hotel was the café. It has a cozy wooden interior with lots of plants, comfortable sofas, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Since it’s right next to the railway tracks, you can watch regular trains and even the Shinkansen pass by while enjoying your coffee. I didn’t have time to try the public bath, so I can’t comment on that. There is also a designated smoking area, which is convenient for smokers. The rooftop is another nice spot to visit, although it closes fairly early (around 10 PM). Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for travelers looking to save money without staying too far from central Tokyo. It’s easy to reach places like Tokyo Station, Asakusa, Ikebukuro, and Shinjuku by train, making it a convenient base for sightseeing.
