Chanced upon this hotel while researching for a place to stay in expensive Tokyo. We wanted a place which is affordable for budget travellers like us and yet conveniently located to the many subway lines so that we can have a choice to plan our itinerary accordingly. We stayed in this cosy little place between 16 Dec 2011 to 21... More

This place is quite lovely; the staff are friendly, rooms spotlessly clean and very comfortable but unfortunately it's near nothing and is quite quiet - I don't think many young people were staying there when I was. It's about 10 minute walk to a JR station which has you at Ueno in a matter of minutes so airport access is... More

i like almost everything about this place. well, the rooms are incredibly small. but this place is stylish, yet friendly. clean and very well taken care of. the owner as well as the two girls who work here are very friendly, professional and kind. i highly recommend kangaroo hotel, especially to everyone with a sense for good design and friendly...

A very cool building in a less busy area of Tokyo (but still only a few train stops away from where the action begins). Somehow they've manage to make the exposed concrete exterior and interior cool and cozy. It's certainly very clean and fresh. The room I had first reminded me of a jail cell without the bars because of... More

We had a beautiful stay here in Kangaroo hotel, from the warm reception to the owners' flexibility in our many requests. We were at first worried about finding the place as it a 10-15 min walk from the station, but the map provided on the website was very clear and led us to the hotel in no time at all.... More

There is little I can say that hasn't already been said. Simply put, the Kangaroo hotel is one of the best value for money options in Tokyo! A couple of things that may be useful for people looking to stay here: There are a couple of convenience stores nearby, as well as a supermarket and some restaurants. There's also the... More

Having lived in Tokyo for four years I know a fair bit about the accomodation options and was surprised by how good Kangaroo Hotel was. This is basically the cheapest option for a bed in Tokyo, even a private room for a solo traveller. The area is not exactly lively and it's convenient for Asakusa and Akihabara (and Narita airport...

I thought like other reviewers I would be stuck in the middle of nowhere, too far from all the things I wanted to see an do, and particularly that I would miss out on a Tokyo experience. Wrong, wrong, wrong. At the Kangaroo you get way more of a Tokyo experience than you would at some large, overpriced hotel in... More

The hotel location at first posed a problem for us. i thought it would take forever to get to the hotspots in roppongi, shibuya, and shinjuku. However i was wrong! the JR Joban line connects to the Yamanote line and from there you can go pretty much anywhere. Plus the Tokyo metro HIBIYA subway line connects to ueno, akihabara, and... More
