Hotel Flexstay Inn Higashi Jujo (Tokyo, Japan)

Most guests were under no illusions when they booked at this inn. They realised that it was a budget place, and they could hardy expect what they'd get at the Savoy. With Tokyo being such an expensive city, they were just relived to get a clean room close to good transport at what they regarded as an excellent rate.

While the inn is certainly nowhere near central Tokyo or its tourist hot spots, guests were very pleased it was right opposite a convenient JR station. They felt they could get into the centre, and also out to the airports, fairly easy, and never seemed to feel they were missing out on anything.

It seems that Flexstay Inn Higashi-Jujo is one of the very few places that has beaten the poor hotel Wi-Fi curse. The comments concerning the Wi-Fi were overwhelmingly positive, with guests saying it worked as it should.

The excellent location close to Higashi-Jujo Station did come at a bit of a price. That price being that guests could sometimes hear the sound of the passing trains. Together with internal noise it did create some difficult sleeping conditions. Earplugs are recommended.

While most accepted their very tiny rooms as part of the budget deal, and maybe as an “authentic” Japanese experience as well, a few just felt it was too small for comfort. Guests travelling as couples were much more likely to be unhappy.

A few guests were both disappointed and surprised by how early the reception closed. While they could accept not having normal reception services, it also meant that they could not hold luggage after this time, which was an inconvenience to some.
