Sotetsu Fresa Inn Shimbashi-Karasumoriguchi

Very close to Shimbashi Station. Located in an area where there are plentiful of offerings of food and drinking places. Just like the other sites of the same name of this hotel chain rooms are typically small but serve its function and does meet the needs of guests. We booked our rooms fairly early and hence kept in touch with the hotel and informed them that we will be sending our luggages ahead from another city days before we arrived. On arrival and after checking in process which was fast and simple, we were told all our luggages are already in the room that are pre-allocated to us! And, on checking out the staffs also assisted and guided us to arrange for pick up and have our luggages delivered to the airport in advance. We were moving on to another city before flying off 2 days later. All in all we enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Direct access to Lawson which is just behind the hotel lobby.

Literally had everthing here. - 4 minutes from the Shimbashi Station amazing. - Self-serve check-in, amenities e.g. self-serve pjs, toothbrush and toothpaste - provided, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair-dryer.(I didn't see an iron but they might have one) - direct access to Konbini that has microwave and hot water if needed - great servicing and they really do try their best with translation with the luggage delivery option. - elevator for luggage - 3 sets of washing machine and dryers which don't need your own washing powder for 300yen. Rooms were on the smaller side but great location and service.

The location is great! Walking distance from Shimbashi station which gives you access to to pretty much everywhere in Tokyo very easily (including Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza, Asakusa, Akihabara, Harajuku, Disney etc…). The hotel is very clean and the staff is really helpful whenever you need them.

Really loved the location as it was really close to the Station and right next to a Lawson. Also the proximity to several food shops was great so we could never go hungry. Even Tokyo Station and the imperial palace are within half an hours walk.

So, funny thing first, we actually thought we were booking a different Sotetsu Inn in Ginza, one closer to the Imperial Palace but when we discovered our mistake, it did not matter one bit! This branch was in the middle of a lively area, full of restaurants to choose from, a quick walk to the train station and lots of shopping opportunities around. It had a Lawson attached to it, and Family mart just around the corner. We also did not expect the amount of toiletries available - there were even spf milk to protect your facial skin and face masks to enjoy with a soak in the tub after a full day of walking! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
