Having recently stayed at the karaksa hotel TOKYO STATION, I can offer a first-hand review of my experience.
Location, Location, Location: The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly its exceptional location. It's literally just across the road from Tokyo Station, making it incredibly convenient for anyone arriving or departing by train, including the Shinkansen. This proximity also provides easy access to the vast Tokyo Metro network, making exploring the city a breeze. I also appreciated the numerous shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity and within the underground malls connected to the station. Even with luggage, the walk from the station was short and manageable.
Room Comfort and Cleanliness: My room, a standard twin, was compact but efficiently designed. While not spacious, it was certainly adequate for two people and our luggage. I found it to be immaculately clean, which is always a top priority for me. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the inclusion of a universal adapter and USB-C charging ports by the bedside. The bathroom, while also on the smaller side, was modern and well-maintained, with a separate shower area which was a plus.
Service and Staff: The staff were consistently friendly and helpful. From check-in to any inquiries I had, they were always polite and willing to assist. I was particularly impressed by their good English communication skills, which made everything very smooth. One staff member even provided me with a detailed map of Tokyo Station, which was incredibly useful for navigating such a large and complex hub.
Facilities and Amenities: While the hotel doesn't boast extensive facilities like a large gym or pool, it does offer some thoughtful extras. The complimentary drinks and snacks available in the lobby from 10 am to midnight were a welcome touch, especially after a long day of sightseeing. They also had luggage storage available, which was convenient on my departure day. I also noticed they had umbrellas available to borrow, which would have been handy if it had rained.
