UNDER RAILWAY HOTEL AKIHABARA

Had the best sleep of our six night Japan trip at this hotel. Maybe it was the trains passing above us that helped us sleep well. The property is very groovy and well situated next to the Akihabara subway station. The staff was very helpful. Loved the vinyl record store next door.

If you are in the Akihabara area and need a hotel with a great location and great atmosphere, you will not go wrong with Under Railway. One of the other deciding factors for this hotel is the fact that they can accommodate a large group, something that is hard to find in Tokyo, depending on your circumstances. Another possible drawback is the sound of the railway above you, but if you are anything like my siblings, a) you might not even notice it after a certain point or b) you might find it soothing.

This hotel was great. I was travelling with 4 teens. Very clean and central to everything they wanted.

Helpful, friendly staff. Clean. Excellent location near the train station, restaurants and shopping. Easy to find.

We had a great stay at The Under Railway Hotel. Everything was so close, the trains, lots of restaurants and shopping.

Clean rooms, easy to understand instructions, and staff were very kind. Short walk to the subway and surround by food and shops.

Great location and I liked the room, which had more floor space than I had expected. The train noise is noticeable, but not bothersome. Will likely look to boom again if visiting Tokyo.

The room smelled immediately of wet carpet/ dirty socks upon entering the room. Bedding was a bit damp feeling, come to find out there's condensation that drips onto one of the beds with the temperature change. Would have been nice to know ahead of time.

One of the worst hotel ever I experienced Not only was the noise pollution severe, but the air quality in the room was so poor that I felt as though I would fall ill after sleeping there for just two nights. There was also a foul odor of sewage and mildew coming from the bathroom. Due to the combination of noise and stench, I ended up staying only one night of my two-night reservation and moved to a different hotel the following day.

The beatiful lady from Osaka has a great service, and may be the only thing it’s about space in the room but it’s a very good place to stay

The hotel is in an excellent location near Akihabara Station, surrounded by convenient amenities like a pharmacy, 7-Eleven, and plenty of anime-focused shops. It’s also close to the Tamashii Nations Store, making it a great choice for Gundam fans. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and efficiently designed. One downside is some noise from nearby train lines and a fire station, but the hotel thoughtfully provides complimentary earplugs and other amenities to help minimize the disturbance. Another major advantage is that the hotel sits on a line with direct access to the Ginza shopping district, as well as Nippori, which connects easily to the Narita Express—making airport travel very convenient.

The location was fantastic! Very close to transit yet a quieter station. The trains are noticeable, but it didn’t bother us. Pancakes at the cafe were tasty. A bit of a tight space tho.

good hotel

Great location and room layout, but the train is a downside. Those who are staying need to be aware it is literally under the railway

Loved this hotel. Excellent staff, great location & I’m an extremely sensitive sleeper but the railway sounds were loud yet soothing and I was able to have a good nights rest. The beds and pillows are really firm which at first I was bummed about but they actually made for an amazing sleep! Didn’t wake up once, lights out and woke up without any pains whatsoever. Unfortunately we did encounter an issue where in which the family in the next room were making a huge amount of noise into the night which started to hinder our sleep. The hotel quickly resolved the matter & looked after us which made us very happy! All in all a great hotel, with only the thin walls between rooms to be a negative. I think most guest are considerate & this wouldn’t be an issue but always something to keep in mind for light sleepers or an easily irritated individual such as myself lol.

Clean rooms. Cool concept, had all the amenities we needed, friendly staff and great location. Easy to get to and from metro stations and airport transportation.

Spotless, great vibe and friendly staff

we had a big room for the price, area was vibrant and exciting. the train noise is quite novel

We had a great stay! the room looks clean and new. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. They got cafe on site which serves good hot coffee. Will definitely comeback next time!
