It's a no frill hotel so don't expect alot but overall it's good deal for what I am paying especially in Tokyo. Paid JPY15,750 for Triple room (includes breakfast for 3 people). Room size is about 25m2 with 3 single beds. Room is very clean with daily cleaning includes changes of bedsheet, yugata & slipper. Note: they will not do... more

I have stayed in quite a few business hotels in Tokyo and this is by far the best one. I originally chose it for the location: walking distance to Tokyo station, right next to the Tozai, Hibiya subway lines and a short walk to the Keiyo line. The staff are friendly, the internet connection is free, the breakfast buffet is... more

First off, yes it is small. Very small. Once you get past that, what you have is a room with all the basic amenities that you would need at a fantastic price. I found this room on the hotel's website for $50 per night for the end of November. Overall I was quite pleased. They had in room internet for... more

We stayed at this hotel twice in December 2006. It's definitely not the best hotel I've ever stayed at but it's ok for the price. The rooms are very cosy and we found the bed quite hard and uncomfortable. My boyfriend and I stayed in a double room but I would recommend staying in a twin room as these seemed... more

Business hotels are designed to be functional, not spacious. If you want spacious then try a full-on Western style hotel (and pay through the nose for it too). Personally, I think business hotels are great and they... more

Stayed at the Universe for one night in june '05. My girlfriend and I were very happy with this hotel. The room was small but quite nice...there was a new flatscreen TV and recently redone bathroom. Staff were friendly enough. Room was spotless. For $145 Canadian it was a very good deal, expecially considering its great location (right by subway)... more

I stayed at Hotel Universe Nihombashi Kayabacho the last week of March and the first week of April in 2005. While it's true that the rooms are small, they are just what I was looking for in Tokyo. I was traveling alone and was constantly on the go, so the size of the room wasn't an issue. The staff were... more

I am a Caucasian and I speak Japanese. This hotel has a minimum of English throughout the hotel, and the restaurant is Japanese food-only. The rooms are ridiculously small and stink of cigarettes, as does the lobby. There are no other facilities (business centre, shops, etc) of any kind. About half the staff refused to speak to me altogether, and... more
