I was challenged by my family to find a unique hotel experience. This hotel delivered! Stay for the atmosphere. Can definitely hear the trains, but staff gives out ear plugs. Slept comfortably, and extremely convenient Akihabara location. Walk to all, especially to station, (of course!).
such an interesting hotel & well thought out with the space. staff was accommodating to our needs. area is such a convenient location with lots to do around the area.
The room was bigger than I thought we had a room to sleep four with 2 singles and a double the staff were so nice we got to store our luggage after arriving at 8am there was a cafe and bar onsite.
Short walk to the train station and shops everywhere I would stay here again the train noise didn’t even bother me
This hotel is conveniently located about a five-minute walk from Akihabara Station. The entrance is at the top of a flight of stairs, so it's easy to miss if you don't notice the hotel's logo. The elevator is on the opposite side of the stairs, but it's only marked with the logo as well, so looking for the hotel name alone can make it easy to walk right past it.
The room was on the small side, but that's to be expected given the excellent location, and I felt the price was reasonable. We chose a room with bunk beds, which gave us more space and made the room feel much more comfortable. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.
Had the best sleep of our six night Japan trip at this hotel. Maybe it was the trains passing above us that helped us sleep well. The property is very groovy and well situated next to the Akihabara subway station. The staff was very helpful. Loved the vinyl record store next door.
The location was fantastic! Very close to transit yet a quieter station. The trains are noticeable, but it didn’t bother us. Pancakes at the cafe were tasty. A bit of a tight space tho.
Great location and I liked the room, which had more floor space than I had expected. The train noise is noticeable, but not bothersome. Will likely look to boom again if visiting Tokyo.
If you are in the Akihabara area and need a hotel with a great location and great atmosphere, you will not go wrong with Under Railway. One of the other deciding factors for this hotel is the fact that they can accommodate a large group, something that is hard to find in Tokyo, depending on your circumstances. Another possible drawback is the sound of the railway above you, but if you are anything like my siblings, a) you might not even notice it after a certain point or b) you might find it soothing.

Nice room and staff was friendly and helpful. Will come back again.
Clean rooms. Cool concept, had all the amenities we needed, friendly staff and great location. Easy to get to and from metro stations and airport transportation.
Cool hotel in Akihabara, very convenient location. Yes, it is under the train. Yes you will hear the train. The low rumbling bass will echo down through the concrete pillars. It is part of the fun and experience. Recovering from jetlag we didn't really have trouble sleeping through the trains, but for light sleepers it will probably wake you up. The rooms are clean and neat with comfy bedding and mattresses. Bathroom is small as expected for Japan. I'm 5'11 but if you're 6'5 you might need to contort yourself a bit!
We'd stay again, but maybe only for 1-2 days for the novelty. I think for a longer trip the train noises would quickly lose their novelty and make it a less than relaxing stay.
We had a great stay! the room looks clean and new. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. They got cafe on site which serves good hot coffee. Will definitely comeback next time!

The location is quite convenient, especially if you need to fit 6 guests. The overall space is pretty claustrophobic, with lots of metal ladders and frames to bump your shins on, but there's at least enough empty space to layout luggage. The cramped quarters is the tradeoff for such a convenient location. The most unique aspect is the noise of the train running overhead. It's quite loud, so if you need it to be quiet, then this will be a deal breaker. I didn't mind the noise, and it didn't wake me as I slept but others in my group considered it too loud.

Second time staying here, we love it. Beds are comfy and funky bunk bed set up. The train is subtle and actually helps us sleep. Can’t beat the location in Akihabara
great location to shop around akihabara, and a nice small room for a solo traveler. the staff was also super helpful on things to do in the area, and where to get around for my trip back home. would definitely stay again!
Loved the location of this hotel - super short walk from a main station and close to the main street in Akihabara. The bathroom was pretty small but the room itself was spacious and the beds were comfortable. You can definitely hear the train but it didn't bother us.
