My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location was convenient for Sumo Wrestling events, the accommodations left much to be desired. The atmosphere was marred by a strong smell of smoke, uncomfortable beds, and shared bathroom facilities that were not up to my expectations. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a comfortable and safe experience.

Staying here was quite the experience, but not in a good way. While the beds were clean, the overall environment felt very uncomfortable due to the heavy cigarette smoke lingering around. The communal bathrooms were definitely a downside, and the noise from other guests made it hard to relax. Overall, it wasn’t worth the price we paid, and I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

My family and I had a disappointing stay at this hotel. Despite being there for 9 nights, we had to share a communal bathroom, which was not ideal for our family. We faced constant noise disturbances from other guests, and the way they handled our luggage on the last day was really frustrating. It might be budget-friendly, but the experience was far from comfortable.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were clean and the beds were really comfy, plus I appreciated having locked bathrooms for privacy. However, the shared bathroom situation was quite uncomfortable for my family, and the strong cigarette smoke in the lobby area made it hard to relax. Overall, it's decent value, but the smoking issue was a letdown.

I had a lovely stay at Hoshikiakan where the value for the price is excellent. The room was not only clean but also comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, providing a relaxing atmosphere while still being near the bustling parts of Tokyo. However, the shared bathroom and smoking in the communal area were minor downsides that could use improvement.

The staff were incredibly helpful and even spoke multiple languages, which made my booking process seamless.

I stayed at this hotel for 9 nights with my family, and unfortunately, it wasn't a great experience. The shared bathroom situation was a significant issue for us, as we had to share a single female bathroom among many guests. Although the rooms were reasonably clean, the noise from other guests was quite disruptive. We faced an unfortunate situation with our luggage on our last day, which left a sour taste in my mouth. Overall, it wasn't worth the price we paid.
