Myself and my family stayed in the red planet hotel for 3 nights at the beginning of February. We were visiting Tokyo for my brothers wedding but also took the opportunity to see some sights. The hotel was perfect for what we wanted, just a bed to sleep in at night. The rooms, as with most places in Japan, are very small but every inch of space has been used efficiently. I had a huge double bed to myself which was extremely comfortable, with clean bedding every day I stayed there. You cannot fault the cleanliness of the entire hotel, it looks brand new. The rooms also come with a large flat screen tv, mounted on the wall in front of the bed. It has all the usual amenities; hair dryer, kettle, fridge, tea and coffee, laundry bags, safe, luggage stand, plus a usb socket in the wall above the bed side table which is extremely useful if you only have one international plug but more than one device to charge, a nice little touch I thought! The bathroom is again very small but has everything you need, a warm, powerful shower,which had 2 options, power shower or rain shower, again a lovely little touch. The toilet is, as became the norm to us in Tokyo, heated, musical, bee-day, everything you could want from a toilet! The hotel is situated in a great location for the metro line, about a 5 minute walk from the nearest station (I can't remember the name of it!) and about 10 minute walk from the larger station at Asakusa. There is a family Mart just over the road so any supplies you would need in your room can be bought there and stored in the fridge, we did this a couple of days when we fancied a quick breakfast. The hotel does have a restaurant but we didn't eat there so I can't comment on what it was like. Overall we had a very pleasant stay at the red planet, it was comfortable, the location was good, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the only thing I would say it is a basic hotel, if you are looking for something spacious and grand this may not be for you. If you are travelling, need somewhere warm and clean just to get your head down then it most definitely is for you.
