Sotetsu Fresa Inn Ginza Nanachome

“Great hotel in the area to check out”

Pretty good location for the hotel. Everything is within a 10 - 25 minute walk. Ginza from shopping district it is pretty close so you don’t have to walk far. Down the street there is a Don Quijote. Downstairs right next to the hotel is a Family Mart which was very convenient to have. I was able to… more

Pretty good location for the hotel. Everything is within a 10 - 25 minute walk. Ginza from shopping district it is pretty close so you don’t have to walk far. Down the street there is a Don Quijote. Downstairs right next to the hotel is a Family Mart which was very convenient to have. I was able to buy late night snacks I wanted. If you’re looking to stay and shop in Ginza for a couple of days I think you could stay here. The rooms are small but most of them are in Japan. If you don’t mind about the small restroom as well. This could be your spot to stay.

“Excellent location, old/smelly bathroom”

I stayed for two nights in January 2025 in a connecting room (which is one double room and one twin room - with one extra bed) for a family of 4. The room is not too small compare to excellent location in Ginza. The service is great, the staff couldn't be better - as expect for Japanese standard. … more

I stayed for two nights in January 2025 in a connecting room (which is one double room and one twin room - with one extra bed) for a family of 4. The room is not too small compare to excellent location in Ginza. The service is great, the staff couldn't be better - as expect for Japanese standard. The bathroom looks a bit old/outdated, but that's not the problem - it's the smell from the toilet!!! When I first got into the bathroom, it smelled like a dirty public bathroom (not in Japan, even public bathroom in Japan doesn't smell). I notice a urine stain on the toilet, so I cleaned it up with hope that the smell would go away. I wiped the whole bathroom floor (it's small) with Lysol too. I also asked the hotel to clean the bathroom for us. I came back hours after that, and the smell is still there. I realized that it's not a urine on the surface, it's the smell from a toilet. Sadly it was there the whole period. Luckily, we have two bathroom so I used the other one. This is not something I ever found in Japan hotel before, I've been there plenty of time and this is the first time this happened. The hotel location is really nice, I hope they can fix this.

“Decent but needs improvement.”

Our stay was okay. Though the room is small, the beds are larger than the previous hotel we stayed at in 2022. Location is central, walking distance to Main Street of Ginza. Ginza Six and Don Quixote average around 5 minutes on foot. Muji, Uniqlo and Apple Store around 8 minutes. The hotel has next… more

Our stay was okay. Though the room is small, the beds are larger than the previous hotel we stayed at in 2022. Location is central, walking distance to Main Street of Ginza. Ginza Six and Don Quixote average around 5 minutes on foot. Muji, Uniqlo and Apple Store around 8 minutes. The hotel has next-door access to convenience store Family Mart where you can get packed meals and do foreign exchange withdrawals via machine. Train stations are also walkable. The breakfast buffet not extensive but decent. Toiletries are provided at the reception area where you can just pluck howeveer much you need during your stay. An ice machine is also available with plastic cups there. Pajamas are provided on racks right by the elevator on every floor and they’re quite comfortable. The staff are helpful inspite of the language barrier. The downside: 1. They don’t provide bottled drinking water. 2. No coffee machine where you can get free caffeine fix like a lot of the hotels in Ginza. 3. The people at the reception don’t speak good English. They rely on a gadget on hand that translates their responses to your queries. 4. The staff at the restaurant don’t speak good English. Took a while before I was able to request that my soggy bacon strips be cooked crispy, which they later said won’t be allowed next time. “Today only, next time no more.” is what the lady managing the buffet told me.
