RIHGA PLACE HIGOBASHI

Location is spot on; pretty much right between metro exits 2 and 10 (Higobashi) , within 10 mins walk from a train station, and a 24/7 convenience store. The staff is polite and helpful. Well air-conditioned lobby! The room is clean and equipped with TV and Aircon. Ensuite is clean with a smart toilet (wow!) Breakfast is good but next time I'd probably get without breakfast included as 8 days eating the same breakfast got boring. There's microwave downstairs so you're able to eat your own food if needs be. What's great is you're less than 5 mins walk from a super cheap AND DELICIOUS mini ramen restaurant called Kamitora; really decent food there.

Breakfast was average. I appreciated that it was a blend of western and eastern cuisine, but the choices were limited. The room was alright, there was whatever you may need for a short stay.

If you were to stay in a similar hotel in a major European city, the price would be at least two to three times higher than this one. That's how much it's worth. If you were in London or Paris, the same class of hotel might have slightly larger rooms, but the price would be five times higher.

Room was very compact (no extra space for much) and noise from upstairs could be heard when people spoke loudly and laughed. Otherwise superb experience, good breakfast, kind staff, clean room and great location.

Good spot, good price, convenience store on the first floor. Really close to the subway. Not sure what else I need in a hotel.
