The hotel is located right under the busy rail station of Akihabara, offering exceptional convenience close to electric town. The rooms, although lacking a bit of isolation for winter, are beautiful, comfortable, and original, providing a very cozy and compact stay. The service, with staff waiting for us to check in till 4 am, is truly helpful, with a really good breakfast and facilities. The location is a highlight, being clean, situated right under the railway, and close to Akihabara and Akihabara Station.
