Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple guests repeatedly praised cleanliness (clean, 綺麗, 很乾淨) and well-stocked toiletries; overall strong positive cleanliness sentiment.
Service
1
Staff were responsive in key moments (locked out resolved quickly) though some guests reported difficulty reaching staff by phone at times.
Location
1
Consistently praised: very close to train/bus stops, convenience stores nearby and convenient access to Ikebukuro/Shinjuku; clear positive location sentiment.
Room Quality
1
Mixed: rooms described as spacious and modern but several practical issues (no elevator, difficult 4th-floor access, heavy entry door, shaky table, some hard pillows) negatively affected stay comfort for multiple guests.
Amenities
1
Good range of in-room amenities noted (washing machine, dryer, iron, large fridge, toiletries, umbrellas) but some missing services (no luggage storage, no elevator) lowered the score slightly.
Value for Money
1
Several reviews explicitly called out strong cost-performance (コスパ最強) and would recommend/book again, indicating positive perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
No on-site F&B noted and one report of a strong cooking/spicy odour in the building hall that spread into the apartment, which negatively impacted guest experience in this area.
Overall Experience
1
Overall sentiment is positive (recommendations, would book again, spacious and clean) but practical downsides (stairs/no lift, luggage issues, occasional noise or odour) tempered the overall score.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Home away from home
Pros:

My partner and I stayed at Tabiya Shinamachi and it was perfect! Clean, cozy and homey. Even though there were no staff onsite, they were extremely attentive and responsive to messages if you needed anything. We would stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Cons:

The only thing to note is that the location is a bit of a ways away from most tourist-y areas in Tokyo, but otherwise a quiet and scenic stay!

Perfekt für einen Aufenthalt in Tokio!
Pros:

Das Apartment war sehr sauber. Tolle Ausstattung mit Wasserkocher, Kühl-/Gefrierkombination und Kochgelegenheit. Geschirr für 4 Personen vorhanden. Klimaanlage und Luftreiniger gab es ebenfalls. Der Fernseher war Über das vorhandene WLAN nutzbar. Es gab ebenfalls einen Waschmaschine mit integriertem Trockner. Dazu das typische japanische Bad mit Badewanne und Heizfunktion zum Trocknen von Wäsche.
Zug- und Busverbindungen in ca. 5 min. erreichbar. Ebenfalls ist 7-Eleven in gleicher Entfernung. Perfekt für einen Aufenthalt in Tokio. Mit 3 Personen war der verfügbare Platz ok.

Aufenthalt in Tokyo
Pros:

Die Kommunikation mit dem Besitzer war jedes mal super reibungslos, fast immer erreichbar. Außerdem war das Apartment an sich neu und auch das Gebäude. Die Klimaanlage sowie der Luftreiniger waren sehr hilfreich.

Cons:

Sieht auf den Bildern etwas größer aus aber es ist ein sehr kleines Apartment, wir hatten große Schwierigkeiten mit dem Platz spezifisch für die Koffer. Außerdem, ein Bett bei einem 4er Zimmer liegt direkt am Boden, das hat es etwas unbequem gemacht (vorallem wenn man dann neben Koffern liegen muss).
Außerdem gibt es kein Lift, was für Leute im 4. Stock mit Koffer zumindest bei Check-In und Check-Out anstrengend war.
Auch keine extra Kissen oder Decken verfügbar.
An sich war die Lage nicht schlecht (circa 10-13Min. zu Fuß von Mejiro Station) aber wir sind dann drauf gekommen, dass die Wohnung neben einem Krankenhaus ist. Bedeutet sehr oft in der Nacht die Rettung etc. die vorbeifährt.
All in all finde ich das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht adäquat.

Bon séjour !
Pros:

- La Localisation proche d’un métro
- L’appartement spacieux
- La cuisine bien équipée
- La réactivité de notre correspondant
- La propreté de l’appartement

Cons:

- La table à manger était bancale à notre arrivée. Notre hôte a gentiment accepté de passer plus tard pour la réparer mais il ne nous restait plus beaucoup de jours de séjours
- Le lit n’était pas très confortable, nous ressentions les ressorts sur notre dos
- La machine à laver était difficile d’utilisation

Pros:

整體都算不錯，就是要爬上四樓，較麻煩一些，還好樓梯算很寬了，所以整體給個優質住宿點

Cons:

唯一比較能加強的就床墊太薄了，邊邊較沒支撐性，舒適度較沒那好，但走累了還是好睡的。

Pros:

A lovely, cozy stay, close to Shinamachi station. They kindly provide laundry soap for the washing machine too, which was nice of them. Clean. A great choice if you'd prefer to self-cater.

Cons:

Very minor, but it would be good if a bin could be provided for the bathroom for sanitary products, rather than having to put them in the kitchen's bin.

Best hotel for small families wanting to stay in a quiet neighborhood, but accessible to train station.
Pros:

We love how accessible this hotel is from the train station. It was close to everything and had lots of convenience store and small grocery options. It is located in a residential area where there are small parks you can go to if you have kids in tow.

Since this was an apartment hotel, staying here feels live you’re living in Japan! It has a fully functional kitchen so we often prepared our own food, and a washer/dryer so we didn’t have to bring a lot of clothes with us.

Cons:

There’s no elevator so if you’re staying at the upper floors, it’ll be a struggle to carry heavy luggages to your room.
