Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 11th October 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Standard style of business hotel, good for the price and location...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Japan 1st July 2006 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Good hotel in a bad location. Free onsen is a plus, as is friendly staff. 1 AM curfew sucks, but there is no nightlife in this area anyway.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Japan 18th August 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Sumisho is a little hard to find, but the staff is very friendly. There is a 1AM curfew, but this doesn\'t really matter because there is NO nightlife in this area. The free onsen is a plus, as is the friendly staff. The rooms are on par with the Sakura Hotel chain, with comparable prices. Stay in the Sakura in Ikebukuro if you want to be close to nightlife, stay at the Sumisho if you don\'t need to party. The ensuite bathrooms are good, but as I said before the Sakura also has ensuite with the bonus of being in a area filled with shopping, nightlife, restaurants, etc.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Japan 31st August 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Good hotel, good location and helpful staff. The only hotel we visited in Japan where we slept on beds, rather than futon; which was nice for a change. However, with the beds, there wasn\'t much space left in the room to do anything else but sleep. Only two subway hops away from Akihabara. It was possible to do laundry here, which was practical. Also, unlike stated in the description, there was no curfew when we visited; so we were able to check out Tokyo\'s nightlife.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 18th August 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: I would stay here again

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 2nd August 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: A good location, with everything in a distance of 15mins. Staff were friendly and helpful....There are some good Indian and Italian food joints and the usual fast food places. There are about 4 different underground stations near by and a hugh department store for all you shopaholics.. Overall a good, cheap, stay....As you walk in there is a zen garden which was a nice touch.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 2nd June 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Quiet and clean hotel. Good place if you searching peace. Location was easy to find but no bars near.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 6th April 2008 Female 41+ 3/5 Comments: a little difficult to find so ask them for a detailed map, but it's in a really good location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 30th December 2007 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: clean safe near subway and very characteristic

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 26th December 2007 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: The 2 person bedroom is SUPER tiny for 2 persons to stay in. my friend and I cant move inside the room at the same time and there is no space for luggage inside the 2 person bedroom, even we only bring a small luggage each. The pictures of the 2 person bedroom at the website is a japanese type of room, very big and new. however, it is completely different from the room i have, tiny, packed, not japanese type, but clean. the 1 person bedroom is acceptable. i am an asian female and what i could say about the toilet is it is extremely small, you can hardly move your body inside it, the roof is not tall enough, i think tall and big body people would have problem using the toilet. The website didnt mention that the hotel have old and new part. I am staying at the old one. The old and new are connected to each other. I think the pictures are taken at the new part of the hotel. They provide shampoo, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste and old USED slippers. The location is very closed to station, just about 3 mins walk, very convenience, area not complicated, security is good, closed to 7 eleven. The staffs are nice, but not all of their english are good, sometimes it's hard to communicate.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 22nd October 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: This place is perfect for a business trip. It is remarkably quiet for any work that you need to do. It is located in the center of Tokyo and although there are not exciting clubs nearby, the proximity of restaurants, coffee houses, the subway, and the train station made this place perfect for my needs. The rooms are not for the claustraphobic (and there will be crouching issues for anyone over 6 foot who wants to shower), but the bed was comfortable enough on which to spend the evening studying. The staff was quiet and friendly and the cost affordable. Definitely not a place for the partying crowd, but if you want a quiet place of your own, look no further than here.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 30th August 2007 Couple 31-40 3/5 Comments: It´s an ok place to stay

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 25th July 2007 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: This was a run of the mill business hotel. The room was a bit cramped, but clean. Bathroom was the run of the mill unit with the usual complimentary bits. Location was pretty good (just a few minutes walk from Ningyocho metro station), and it was easier to find than lots of reviews said it was.. just come out of the exit from the metro they recommend, walk right go past a seven eleven and then turn right whan a hotel is on the corner. All in all, an average place that's fine for a qiuck stop, but for better value stay at the Toyoko Inn that's nearby instead. All when we first checked in they gave us the key to a room that was already occupied, which wasn't very professional.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 22nd April 2007 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: they have a great stuff, very helpful and friendly. rooms were clean, but the location was something... its hard to find first, second, and thrid time around but over all it was a freat experince... a most stay for the traveler with a buget.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 22nd April 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Short holiday before business trip

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Wales 8th April 2007 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Convenient hotel with helpful staff. Western-style rooms are rather average but are en suite and have all you need. The station is situation on one line, meaning that getting to the West side attractions is a little inconvenient but it is perfect for visiting East Tokyo as it is on the very useful Hibiya line (Ningyocho station), which is just a 3-4 minute walk. The communal baths are nice, if a little small.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 31st March 2007 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: Print out the maps of the place to find it, Tokyo is not easy to find places/addresses. Noisy doors, but otherwise fine. I slept for 12 hours after my flight here!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 2nd January 2007 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: The hotel staff was very friendly and willing to help you out and give you some local advice. That was a great bonus. Also, the location of this hotel is Superb. Ningyocho is the perfect location to get around Tokyo.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 1st July 2006 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: After we lost our passports, staff went completely out of their way to help us try and find them. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Use of the internet was missed though!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Singapore 16th April 2006 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: Great staff..helped us to retrieve our lost belongings from our last hotel.. Thank you very much for your help...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th April 2006 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: The Sumisho isn't a party place or a great hang out to meet people, but the rooms are very clean and the staff are very helpful. It might be in the budget hotel category but it's more than that. It's close to several train lines as well as a few convience stores and places to eat. It's definitely a good place to stay and the price is right (for Tokyo)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 31st December 2005 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The rooms aren't non-smoking, so If you not a big fan of smokey rooms it would be a good idea to contact the hotel before you make your booking.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 6th January 2006 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: Fantastic staff at the hotel, plus there is a nice bath and a good restaurant.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 7th January 2006 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The staff were extremely helpful - they can`t do enough for you. It is a basic room but very close to a subway station that is on a good line - easy access to Ginza, Roppongi, Asakusa and Shinjuku. I will definately stay here again when I am back in Tokyo.
