Flexstay Inn Shinagawa

“Erittäin hyvä sijainti meidän tarkoituksiin, mutta kallista”

Saimme matkan Japaniin ja halusimme olla lähellä näyttelyä. Itse hotelli on hieno - henkilökunta on suuri ja erittäin avulias ja sillä on kaikki mitä haluatte. Huone oli kuitenkin hyvin pieni ja hotelli oli yksi - jos ei kaikkein - kalliimmista kolmen viikon oleskelumme aikana.

“Totally functional, best for solo travelers”

This is my second time trying Flexstay hotels. Flexstay are basically small studio apartment buildings that have been converted to hotel rooms. The rooms are small, but like at this hotel, the room are very functional, maximizing the small amount of space available. These are great hotels for solo travelers like me who don’t need all the services of a normal hotel. I’m in Tokyo to work. I leave in the morning and come back at night. I don’t need much, and that’s how Flexstay works. No room servicing, you bring your towels downstairs and get new ones at the front desk. Simple and mostly hassle-free. My room at the Flexstay Shinagawa is small, but has a tiny kitchen, a microwave, fridge and bathroom. There is no entranceway. You open the door and there’s the bedroom. Perfect for me. The air conditioner in this room works great as well and as a result I slept great. Overall, no complaints. I may even join the membership club. Don’t expect a lot and you will be surprised at how much thought went into the design of these rooms.

“Adequate for an overnight stop”

Stopped overnight here whilst travelling to Kyoto due to its proximity to Shinagawa station (5 minutes walk). It was a small, clean room with a comfortable single bed. The bathroom/toilet was tiny though so don’t expect to soak in the bath after a humid day’s travelling. The room contained a fridge, microwave, hot plate and sink, air conditioning, TV, multi-charger for phones/tablets. There is LAN connection if needed and free wifi throughout the building. Things to note - there is no sink or mirror in the bathroom, also there is no mirror at the sink next to the hot plate so wet shaving is guesswork. If you stay more than one night there is no room cleaning service and if you need replacement towels you should exchange them at reception. There is no restaurant in this Inn but there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. There is a vending machine on the lower floor where you can purchase cold drinks, this is in the laundry room which has a couple of washing machines and driers for hire. For one nights stopover this place was adequate but I wouldn’t want a longer stay - I think it was expensive for what it is.

“Very basic accommodation”

Plus: Microwave, fridge, cooking plate and sink in the room Minus: Very basic accommodation. No bedside lamp. No washbasin in the bathroom: to shave one has to use the sink in the bedroom, but there is no mirror. Faulty soundproofing (with the other rooms, with the hallway, with the pipe system). … lisää

The room is not made (cleaned, changed) during the stay.
