Laffitte Tokyo

Convenient location, good price, helpful staff

It was a very homey place. Very spacious and had many amenities such as a kitchen and washing machine! The location was central to shinjuku and it was very easy to get around!

It's a micro apartment, not a hotel so don't expect hotel like service and amenities. I knew that going in, so no problem. We were in the ground floor apartment, fortunately as my wife would have been unable to deal with the narrow stairs. The location is convenient to 3 train stations so getting anywhere is easy. A 7-11 across the street and a My Basket market 5 minutes away. Also several places to eat, but you're better off going up 1 station to Nakano for a better restaurant selection. Room was quiet. Our room had a loft bed that was useless to us, as I'm 196cm tall and 68 yrs old, so not going to crawl into that tiny space. Bathroom is typical, except there is a washing machine. Room also has a kitchen with a stove, fridge and microwave. If you want a "hotel experience" look elsewhere. If you don't mind a self serve apartment, it would work. We stayed 2 days, which was enough.

Close to trains and amenities

Close to everything. Compact, great place.

Nice and quiet area. Easy to check in and walking distance from station. Room is clean and everything is working perfectly. Really recommend this place.

Pros: Staff was very timely in providing the housing manual and check in info. Made process smooth. Also helpful rescheduling redelivery times of our luggage when we missed our delivery window. Place was clean on arrival with spacious bath that had lots of shelving space. Lots of amenities included (e.g. dishes, dish soap, washing machine). There's no dryer but there are a hangers and pull out racks to dry clothes, but will take time to dry without sunlight. 7/11 conveniently nearby. Cons: Under accessibility it's stated that there is no elevator but extra info regarding the stairs would be helpful (e.g. they are narrow and steep, bringing luggages beyond a certain size is not recommended). Trying to carry up any hard case luggage up the stairs other than a backpack or soft duffel is very difficult and also dangerous. It's also a little hazardous to navigate the stairs when it gets dark due to the lights becoming motion activated. Extra bed provided wasn't comfortable, little padding. An updated version of the manual should be provided before even booking since we kept receiving follow ups regarding electricity shutoff beyond a threshold, trash schedule, hot water supply refilling, etc. Room layouts are not all the same so be flexible about room expectations. Might be ok for a one night stay but for longer would opt for somewhere else. Especially if you have lots of luggage.

Nice and quiet hotel with great subway access. Hidden gems for food in the area and the included washing machine was definitely a plus. The loft bed was a bit thin but I was still able to sleep. The owner communicated quickly and effectively and was very kind. For a budget option, this place is excellent!

청소 상태는 전반적으로 깨끗했습니다. 투숙기간동안 계속 기침을 했어요.. 방안 환기하기 어렵고 방안에 나프탈렌(좀벌레약) 냄새가 심하게 납니다. 에어컨안 곰팡이가 심하게 있습니다. 호텔 직원은 방마다 확인해보고 곰팡이 제거하세요

Safe and clean, very convenient to get in out to the city

All of the furniture and appliances are well thought out for the small space. But the beds are not very comfortable. We loved the neighborhood and local restaurants.

The positives: if you want to experience a tiny apartment this is it. It’s in an area that is close to two subway stations and is a short ride away to Shinjuku and Harajuku. The negatives: it was not very clean, we moved a couch to get something that fell between the cushions and found a bunch of trash. The towels were threadbare and we were expected to wash them if we wanted fresh ones. They had a washer but no dryer. Something bit us (a flea or mosquito). It smelled damp. The bedding could have been cleaner.

Very nice hotel in a fantastic area but no elevator. No problem for us but be aware if you cannot climb stairs. Other than that, super relaxing stay, I would stay again for sure.

I recently stayed at Laffitte Tokyo, and it was fantastic! The hotel's condition was impeccable, and the staff's communication was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. Plus, the location was perfect for exploring on foot. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tokyo!

Very good value for money. Small, but well organized, with easy access to JR lines and Tōkyō Metro. Suitable for small families or couples. It does require the guest to be quiet and abide by house rules. The local area is residential and a little way out of town, so if you’re coming in from Narita you can expect a few transfers to get there. 4.5 stars.

Pros - Decently close to trains and neighborhoods like Koenji and Nakano - Clean - Washer in apartment - Lots of light during the day Cons - Uncomfortable bed! It’s really a pull out sofa, and neither my girlfriend nor I slept well the two nights of our stay - The studio sleeps three, but there was only 1 real sleeping pillow and no extra sheets or blankets - Curtains do a poor job of blocking out the morning light - At night, the concrete design and lack of anything besides overhead lighting make the space kind of sad and cold - Late checkin and early checkout compared to most hotels

A nice property to stay with a kitchenette and reasonably close to the local train stations. Definitely a quiet neighborhood, would go back again.

The property has everything like furnished apartment

Room structure is fun and facilities are generally excellent

조용한 동네와 어울리는 깨끗하고 조용한 숙소였습니다. 한가지 아쉬웠던 점은 방이 4층에 하나만 남아있어서 무거운 짐을 4층까지 옮겨야 했다는 점입니다. 겨울에 히터는 따뜻하지만 매우 건조하다는 단점도 있긴 하지요. 전체적으로는 호텔방보다 넓은 방, 청결함, 조용한 동네, 또한 교통편도 매우 좋아서 다시 이용할 생각이 있습니다☺️
