Reviews of Palette Takashimadaira guest house 2 stars

Nothing

Everything

It's a big house for only 3 people so it's really nice, a lot of facilities and private toilet

The thin curtain in the bedroom does nothing to hide the sun in the morning, so i got up as soon as the sun went up. The bed is pretty thin too so sometimes it is a bit uncomfortable because you can feel the wood under, but it's not really bad

Spacious and private and clean, lovely owner!

Shower was difficult to work without instructions to turn hot water on

Location, shared kitchen

No proper Mattress, not comfortable

Inexpensive, close to the station, private toilet

Bunk bed was a little uncomfortable to get in and out of, shared shower can be messy depending on who else is staying

Multiple places to eat and a train station in All within a five minute walk

It was near the train station.

It was dirty, the beds werent beds, they were flat pieces of wood with a paper thin "mattress" ontop. They were hard to get up to and the ladders used for them were dirty and I didn't want to use them. The curtain over the window didn't fully cover the window, and the balcony it was attached to was attached to another room, meaning another guest could easily see me sleeping or changing. The elevator to the property was absolutely filthy, and much of the property was filthy.

It offers a private bathroom, and a shared shower. The shower is only shared with one other guest. So, it’s not a problem.

The shower curtain didn’t close completely.

If you're not too picky, this is easily the best value for money accommodation going around in Tokyo. I stayed here for 11 nights and had no major complaints. Area is fantastic with decent restaurant choices and shops and it's also close to a major train line.

For the value, you can't really complain at all! Yes, the mattress is thin, bed a little difficult to climb up to,the room is quite small, it takes a while for the water to heat up, etc. But if you just need a cheap place to serve as a base then it's perfect.

Room was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioner was new and efficient. Nice smoking area close by. While I did not meet the hosts due to self check-in, they were nice and very accomodating when I made a mistake with my check-in. It's out of the way in Itabashi, but you have everything you need nearby.

Cheap, decent location

Shared shower had only curtain so no real privacy Mattress very worn through and barely any cushioning Furniture seemed old and run down On my second to last day, my milk in the fridge was removed (probably cleaned out) and I didn't have milk for my cereals on the last day

I loved the private room and the kitchen area, and the shower was very nice too. The room was very cozy, well insulated, and even came with an AC/Heating unit.

It was nice and better than expected. The private room you can lock for this price, its amazing, all other options were capsules or shared dormitory rooms, but this deal was amazing! You have your own not shared restroom (without shower) and your own bed, air conditioner, wardrobe, desk, etc. The shared shower wasn't a problem at all, there are 3 of you who are sharing it, I have never waited in the queue to shower, so it was like it was all mine and not shared. You get slippers, towels, shampoo, hair fan. It's amazing! You have a shared kitchen but I didn't use it. Wi-fi was free and great! Check-in and check-out were as simple as grabbing the key from the box and returning it there. There was 7-Eleven right across the street so it was really good, the station is also very close about a 3 min walk, so it's amazing!! I was here for 10 days and I would come here again because this deal is really amazing!!! There is an elevator in the building. There are a lot of wall plugs in the room.

When showering, you had to wait about 1 minute for the hot water to start going. I had a bunk bed so it was a little bit tricky to climb up, but you get used to it. From the nearby station, you need around 45-60 minutes to get to Shinjuku, Shibuya, Akihabara, Tokyo Centre, etc and it costs around 2€ for one direction. I am 190cm tall and I couldn't fully stretch in bad but it wasn't that a problem. The light above the bed and the table did not work but I didn't need them anyway.

self check-in and self check-out

Main door confusing to lock/unlock

Two of the six beds in the room had dust mites. Both of my friends got itchy and had trouble sleeping because of it.

Private room with lots of storage. Didn't feel cramped althought it's quite small. Very quiet location next to a cheap innovative thrift store.

The property was at a peaceful environment

The loft bed. A little challenging for me to go up and down. And the sinks had no heater si when I had to wash my hands or utensils the water was freezing cold as I stayed during a winter’s day
