Andon is such a find. I originally booked it because it was the best-priced ryokan I could find (within reasonable distance of the center of Tokyo), but it turned out to be the best place I stayed in Japan. Andon is an artsy, modern version of a traditional ryokan. You'll get the traditional stuff - the slippers, the tatami mat... more

just back from a trip to Japan, Andon was our first stop when we arrived at Tokyo. I booked it off the back off good reviews on TripAdvisor and I wasn't disappointed. It's a little way out the centre in a more quiet area but there's nice temples and restaurants in a 15-20. min walk away. Personally after getting off... more

We stayed at the Andon for 6 nights in March 2009. It is a good value - the rooms are small but comfortable and clean, the breakfast is a good deal, the staff is very nice and all the rooms have internet access. However, it is quite loud - due to its modern design, the inn is all concrete and... more

While part of a study abroad program, I had the pleasure to say at the Andon Ryokan for nearly a month. The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful each day as we basically shared the hotel as home with them. They went way above their duty as "staff" members in helping us plan trips, find good restaurants, and have... more

This is a great little place. Very stylish and the bath is very nice . The breakfast is great too! Great, clean and safe place to stay. more

My second stay at the Andon in four years and, once again, it did not disappoint! While the location (25 minute subway ride away from Shinjuku etc.) might not be ideal for some I found it to be a great "home base" while in Tokyo. Spotlessly clean and quiet, it is nice to return to after a long day of... more

We stayed at the Andon at the beginning of a four-month SE Asia adventure. My husband had been in Japan for two weeks when we stayed here, but it was my one and only Japanese hotel experience. The room was, like any ryokan, tiny. If you like good design (interior/product) there is much to love about the Andon - the... more

Stayed at Andon Ryokan for 7 nights after seeing it at lonely planet guide to Tokyo (very popular guide since we saw many people carrying it while there). We evaluated several ryokan's websites, and thought Andon was the best. Pre-arrival communication with them is quite good, since if you for example ask them about weather, they will tell you exactly... more

After travelling around cities and towns in Japan, Andon was our last ryokan. My partner and I had been in Japan for a few weeks and our last night was in Tokyo to fly out from Narita the next day. It was a good place to spend the night, but I will explain what I didn't like about it. It... more
