What guests think

UNDER RAILWAY HOTEL AKIHABARA delivers a unique stay beneath the tracks in central Akihabara, where many guests praise the convenient location and helpful staff, while train noise is clearly audible and comfort depends on individual sensitivity to sound.

Rooms are compact, often with bunk beds and very small bathrooms, and several reviewers found the beds comfortable. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few noted dust, drain issues, or bathroom odors. The on-site cafe and coffee receive positive comments. Expect a convenient, no-frills base with a distinctly urban vibe.

Perfect location near to Akihabara station. Family of 4 slept comfortably on each bed. Sound of train didn't bother us since we were so tired from all day adventures. Bath/toilet room might be a little tight for big people but we didn't had an issue. Free amenities include mask and wash cloth, toothbrush etc .. were great. Front desk stuff can speak both English and Japanese thoroughly and very helpful. Key coffee shop within is also great. Very tasty hot coffee. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Right by the JR line so it was easy access to transportation. It is a cool place to stay as long as you don’t mind a bit of train noise, if it bothers you that much they do offer earplugs at the front which is really nice! The walls are a bit thin and the people who stayed next to us were really loud and kept us up most of the night but besides that it was wonderful!

This is a great place to stay. Warning for those sensitive to noise, this hotel is under the train rail way and the trains starts at 5am till 12mn so expect the usual train noise during those times (hotel offers earplugs). My family and I aren't that sensitive, and it is sort of ambient noise that helps us sleep. Place is clean, very close to all the critical places you'd need in Akihabara: train stations, dining, shopping and sight-seeing. My only concern is that they use QR code for entry to the building and to the room. They don't have 24x7 staff, so the QR code is very crucial for a good experience so make sure to take a photo and keep the original printed paper safe. Highly recommended place!

my family of four traveled to Tokyo for the first time. This hotel is located perfectly next to Akihabara station. it is a two minute walk to the station literally allowing us to access all Tokyo had to offer. Our room was spacious enough for all four of us and the beds were extremely comfortable and clean. The café is exceptional the coffee the breakfast foods and the dinner foods were well beyond what you would expect. I would definitely enjoy the café more often had I known better. Is extremely safe all throughout Tokyo and I felt very comfortable in this hotel. The best part of this hotel was the staff they go above and beyond to help you especially being from the United States. They are extremely kind. I had lost my passport at Narita airport. The staff took it upon themselves to notify the airport locate my passport and then give me exact instructions on how to retrieve it. They gave me exact directions via public transit which is much cheaper than taxi service in Tokyo. I couldn’t have been more thankful and again they were absolutely wonderful in helping me. I would not hesitate to stay here at any point if I return to Tokyo. It’s also conveniently located next to electricity which is fun for a family. thank you so much for making our family trip so wonderful

今回2人で泊まり、私はロフトにあるベッドを利用しましたが、ベッド周りの手すりと空気清浄機は埃がかぶっていました。また、お風呂(バスタブ)は水が非常に流れにくく、すぐに溢れて他の水？が戻ってくるような状態であったため、自分の汚れの水に浸かっていた方がマシだと考え結局栓をして全部洗い終えてから栓を取り、水が流れるのを待ちました。正直、どこまできちんと清掃されているか信用できませんでした。

Staying in this hotel is a very unique and interesting experience. Excellent location. Amazing staff. Very clean, but this is not a traditional hotel - not in a bad sense though if you are open to non traditional ways of accommodation. A word of caution: if you have low tolerance of noises ( thinking about trains passing literally overhead) you might want to think twice before booking this one.

The location was amazing! I would definitely stay here again. Although our group of 4 was cramped in there, we didn’t stay for too long in the room and it was very convenient to reach the train station. My only complaint is that the sides by the beds are very very dusty. Other than that, no complaint.

Will need to get used to the railway train. I thought there might've been a sound wall or "new tech" to shield some of train sounds, but it was a tough transition for my ears. Front desk service was helpful in looking up airport transportation options & luggage storage. Tight room for a family of 5 but we made it through.

Knowing the hotel is literally under a railway, we expected it to be quite noisy from trains. They run very regularly during the day but stop around 10pm and start again around 6am...so it doesn't affect sleeping. It's quite a rhythmic sound once you get used to it! Otherwise a lovely, modern, well-appointed and spacious room for our family of four. Perfectly located to explore Akihabara...and obviously conveniently close to train stations! If you don't mind a bit of clickety-clack overhead and plan on only using the hotel to sleep and shower, you will love it :)

This was a really cool hotel. We had 5 people with us and booked the room with double bunked beds and a single bed. The room was small but still comfy. I thought the sound from the subway would bother me but it really didn’t. Not saying that it wasn’t loud, just saying it wasn’t bothersome. They do offer ear plugs and other toiletry items for free. It’s in the anime district and many walkable places. The cafe was good as well and the staff was super friendly. I would definitely book again if I come back to Japan.
