Sotetsu Fresa Inn Tokyo-Akasaka

Clean, friendly staff, nice part of Tokyo

Great location, hotel and service. The hotel is located in a busy neighbourhood with good restaurants, coffee shops and stores. It allows easy access to the metro and buses going to different parts of Tokyo. We took a cab from Haneda airport to the hotel, and it was about 50€. Regarding service: We had accidentally reserved a room for smokers, and the reception staff managed to get us a different room after 1 hour without any extra payment. The free face masks and other cosmetic accessories available in the entrance hall were a plus. Overall a great experience, and we would definitely recommend it to others.

I loved my stay at sotetsu akasaka! Wonderful location and right in front of akasaka station (chiyoda line!). Easy to navigate and the room itself was lovely. It was small but very cozy and comfortable bed!!! Would definitely stay again in any of the sotetsu franchise. I love the help yourself station at the lobby and also the hair styling rental facilities (hair straightener, curling iron, curling dryer). I was worried about bad hair days as I can’t use my styling tool from home!! Amazing!!! Plus the pajamas was so comfortable!! 10/10 stars!!!

This ended up being our favorite hotel in Japan. While there are probably more luxurious accommodations out there, nothing beats the value of this hotel's location and the access to coffee. We underestimated how difficult it would be to find coffee shops in Tokyo that opened before 10am, luckily this hotel has one of the few early morning cafes down in the lobby. The convenience store is next door as well. We loved our interactions with the staff here, super friendly and helpful. We loved it so much that when we came back for our last night in Tokyo before leaving we cancelled our other booking to come back to this one.

We spent our first four nights in Tokyo at the Fresa Inn. I was initially concerned about the small size of Japanese hotel rooms, but while the room wasn’t large, it never felt cramped or difficult to move around in. We even managed to fit our three suitcases without any issues. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful from the moment we arrived. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure. Extras like toiletries and other amenities were conveniently available downstairs for guests to pick up. The location was great for exploring the southern and eastern parts of Tokyo, with the metro station directly across the street and a FamilyMart right next door. Also, the room itself actually looked better in person than in the photos! While the pictures made it seem a bit plain, once inside, it felt much cozier and warmer than expected.
