TOKYU HOTEL STAY’S AMENITIES AND SERVICES
The Room
The room offers ample space, allowing comfortable movement. The bed accommodates two people with room to spare, and there’s a dedicated working area on one side featuring sofas, a desk suitable for two computers, and space for small items
Laundry Corner
The washing machine comes with a dryer, eliminating concerns about finding a place to hang clothes. You can set it and forget it while you enjoy your time outside. Laundry soap is supplied, saving you the hassle of buying it. Load your laundry before heading out, and upon return, simply fold and pack it away. English instructional materials are also available for those who can’t read Japanese characters.
Tokyu Stay Hotel also provides a wall-mounted valet or press to smoothen and freshen up your clothes.
Kitchenette
The room features a convenient cooking area equipped with a sink. Inside the drawers, you’ll find plates, forks, spoons, mugs, and glasses. Additionally, there’s a BALMUDA kettle – my dream kettle, hehe. The stove is portable, making it easy to carry and clean, although I opted not to use it. While our busy schedule doesn’t prioritize cooking, the facilities are provided for your convenience. Below the chest drawer, there’s a mini fridge for your drinks, but it’s empty, so you’ll need to purchase beverages outside.
A microwave is also available.
The Bathroom
The bathroom features generous space for the bidet toilet, bathtub, and sink. Complimentary toiletries are provided, but should you wish to obtain replacements, please visit the reception on the second floor.
The Cleaning
Tokyu Stay Hotel does not provide daily cleaning services. For extended stays, cleaning is conducted once every five days at 11 AM. However, you have the flexibility to request cleaning at your convenience, as long as it is scheduled before 3 PM. The cleaning service includes tasks such as emptying wastebaskets and changing towels.
PRICE
While prices may fluctuate based on specific days, the rate for double occupancy on our stay is: 18,000yen.
RATING
9/10.
