Sotetsu Fresa Inn Chiba Kashiwa

Very nice and helpful staff. The room was clean and the location is pretty close to Kashiwa Station. Plenty of shopping and places to eat within walking distance.

Was amazing, my only slight problem was that you could feel the springs on the bed so sleeping on your side was really painful because you literally feel it pushing into your skin.

Very small room

Fresa is an excellent hotel, particularly for the value. It's just 2-3 blocks from the east entrance of Kashiwa station. Head down the escalator and it is to the left in the street just past Yoshinora noodle shop. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean, and the breakfast service is good. I highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent service

Very dated facility.

this property was amazing! clean, friendly staff, easy check in and check out :) 9/10 recommend - only thing that was a little hard to get used to was the bed.

The hotels is on a bit of an alley, but that alley is connected to the main road that runs south from the station. The staff was fine. A few were lovely, but most were just "fine." The room itself was nearly identical, in terms of layout, to a room at an APA hotel I'd stayed at recently. Once I'd figured out the air conditioner, the room was comfortable. The room actually had a cityscape view, which I wasn't expecting, so that was nice. The bed was comfortable. I was able to plug my Switch into the TV, although I mostly just used it for YouTube. I apparently got free breakfast each morning, which I used twice; it wasn't amazing, but it was filling and it was free. The rice and curry was the standout dish, I'd say. The coin laundry cost me 700 yen (I think? possibly 600 yen) for a wash and two runs of the dryer, to get my clothes good and dry. There was an outlet in the bathroom, which was something the highly-similar APA hotel didn't have. There was an Anytime Fitness a couple minute's walk down the alley (which I joined while I was in the US before this trip). There was loads of restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines and shopping in the area, if you're into that sort of thing (shopping, that is; not my scene, personally). Things I saw but didn't try: a teriyaki stall which is highly rated on Google Maps; a horse meat restaurant with a sign out front that says "No horse meat, no life," which I could swear I've seen a picture of before.

Friendly staff and a well kept building for its age. The only point that was a little noticable for me was there was mildew and some mold in the wet bathroom area.

Showed up to check in and was told the only room available was a smoking room but we are not a smokers. We had nowhere else to go so we tried to make it work but the smell was TERRIBLE. The window is sealed shut, no way to open it. We woke up at 5am with headaches and nausea, absolute worst night of the trip. Also the bed was hard, the box spring was filthy, the toilet was not clean, no toiletries provided other than soap. I would not recommend staying here unless you are guaranteed a room that is non smoking, I can’t comment on anything positive.

Good

The Sotetsu Fresa Inn has been my go-to choice for hotels in the Kashiwa area since 2012 or so. It's very convenient to be. It's close to the grocery store, train station and shopping. I enjoy staying there.

Very good

Lots to do nearby. Lots of restaurants. Train station close.

not enough light on hall ways

The hotel’s location is very convenient and the rooms and property are well maintained. Staff is courteous and helpful.

Very quiet place and it is nice to walk around the city.

Whenever I come to Kashiwa, The Sotetsu Fresa Inn is where I always choose to stay. It is conveniently located within walking distance of the train line, it is close to lots of shopping and food choices. But most importantly, they truly try to cater to your needs with the amenities they provide. So, I enjoy my time there and will be visiting them again very soon.

Nothing special. Everything is average.

A safe and pleasant stay in Tokyo.
