Richmond Hotel Tokyo Mejiro

The location is good, close to Mejiro Station on the Yamanote line. There are many restaurants and convenient stores nearby, a drug store (matsumoto kiyoshi) is also right in front of the hotel. It's also easy to take a taxi in front of the hotel, for those who needs it. The area near Mejiro Station is only one station away from Ikebukuro Station and three from Shinjuku Station, but is less crowded, making it a nice place to stay. The hotel building feels a bit old, but still comfortable, especially considering the relatively reasonable price. Check-in and out were smooth and easy, communication through booking.com was also good without being able to speak Japanese.

Location was close to subways, grocery stores and restaurants. No frills comfort without the hustle and bustle of busier areas like shinjuku and shubuya areas. Staff was also very helpful. Convenience of washer dryer, microwave and vending machine in hotel basement. Pleasantly surprised with breakfast buffet—-exceptional value for the quality and diversity of food.

Convenience to Mejiro Station is a plus; the property is well run with delightful, kind staff members, who helped me when I had a leg injury and needed to store one bag for a period. The bed was comfortable although rather small for 2. Like many Japanese hotels, the bed was pushed to the wall on one side but we were able to clear enough space for a leg to pass. This is a somewhat older hotel but is reasonably well kept. A nice and generous breakfast can be had for a small daily cost at the Gasto restaurant on the second floor where the food is served by robot driven carts.

We have booked 3 rooms in this hotel during our japanese sejour. First room, nice large room on the 9th floor. Second room ok, but smaller. Third room, the bed was agaisnt the wall, so one people has to sleep against the wall. Definitly smaller. It was time to leave Japan before to discover the 4th room...

Great hotel and amazing location. Very close to Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro via the JR Yamanote line. It was nice to return to Mejiro at the end of the day as it's more peaceful. Loved the big bath in our washroom. The pillows were perfect I wish I had them at my home. Room was also really big compared to usual Tokyo size rooms. The hotel staff was amazing, the kind lady at the counter in the morning had such nice energy and we were able to communicate very well using Google Translate and her translator device (due to my lack of Japanese). They were also so kind and allowed us to store our bag with them for a week. Thank you for everything.
