My stay at Royal Hotel Shinokubo was quite an experience. The room was exceptionally large, providing plenty of space for my luggage, though I faced some issues with the toilet and WiFi. The hotel’s location was fantastic, making it easy to explore Tokyo, yet the alleyway leading to the hotel felt a bit daunting at night.

I had a mixed experience during my three-night stay at Royal Hotel Shinokubo.
