Fuchu Trips (flight + hotel)

Clean room, helpful staff, free drinks from bar

Niwa is a nice oasis in the midst of bustling Tokyo: great location, good restaurants, cool bee-keeping on the property, BUT it's quite dated compared to many other properties I've stayed in on this trip. Tiny rooms, dated bathroom, ancient coffee machine in the room...one can do better for the money.

The room was a little on the smaller side in comparison to what I am use too in the use. But the amenities were amazing. I would have love to give it a 4.5 as the staff and location were great. This is more of a personal preference but the beds were very firm, to be honest felt slightly softer then the floor and I am not a fan of electricity in the room not working unless the key card is in the slot near the door. I understand it from a conservation of energy stand point but as a tourist I have battery packs and devices I am charging for my next adventures. This limited me being able to charge my devices while I was away eating or out for a few hours.

Beautiful rooms. Friendly staff. Quiet neighborhood in walking distance to many shops and stations.
