I always stay at Sotetsu Fresa Takadanobaba whenever I'm in Tokyo, and for good reason. The location is incredibly convenientโjust a short walk from Takadanobaba Station, which connects to the JR Yamanote, Seibu Shinjuku, and Tozai Lines. This makes it easy to get around Tokyo, whether you're headed to Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, or other popular spots.
The hotel itself is clean and comfortable, with rooms that are surprisingly spacious for the price. I appreciate that you can adjust the AC to your liking, and the fridge in the room is a nice touch. There are also laundry facilities on-site, which is always a bonus. The bathroom is a good size, and thereโs a solid range of amenities, plus breakfast options available if youโre in a rush.
The staff is friendly, and the self check-in kiosks make the check-in process super easy. As for the neighborhood, itโs idealโyou're close to shopping (like Don Quijote) and lots of dining options. It's centrally located in North Shinjuku, so getting to places like Shinjuku and Ikebukuro is a breeze.
Itโs affordable, good value for money, and not overly crowded, making it the perfect home base for my Tokyo trips.
