Hotel was right across the Otsuka train station and provided easy access to other parts of Tokyo. Taxis were also easily avail. A shopping center next to the train station offered good food selections.

Great location and staff. Royal Host is just beneath this hotel (which is a cut above Bikkuri Donkey)! There's a very popular onigiri place a block away; just prepare for long line. You can watch the trams pass by in their breakfast area while eating, which Otsuka is the only city that has such a transit system in Tokyo. The cons are the plumbing gives off a slight sewage smell (not too bad for the price you pay) and the laundry room smelled very funny. For laundry, I went to Baluko Laundry Place instead. Will consider staying there again if I were to do another solo trip.

We booked a double room only to find out they don't have such a thing. The "double bed" is only slightly larger than a twin and definitely smaller than a conventional double. The breakfast is non-existant. This hotel definitely caters to the single business person on a tight budget. The description in hotels.com did not adequately convey the character of the hotel.

Great for short vactaions.
R&B hotel is a great place for those who want to have a short vacation in Japan. The single room may be small but the room condition and cleanliness is good. For breakfast, the hotel serves bread pastry, soup and beverages. The hotel is also just next to the train station on the Yamanote line, giving easy access to well known places and is a few stops away from Nippori and Ueno if you are taking the Keisei Skyliner from Narita airport. Around the neighbourhood area are several restaurants, bars, a 24 hour bookstore that is right below the hotel and various convenient store brands. The hotel is also 15 minutes away from Sunshine City on foot. Overall I had a great stay in R&B hotel and would love to come back to this hotel again.

great location
hotel is just a minute walk from Otsuka station (on the Yamanote line). Small room (as it is customary in Tokyo) but very comfy. Simple but healthy breakfast. Downstairs there is a Pronto coffee shop, very convenient for dinner. This is a business hotel, i.e. perfect for spending one night.

Nothing fancy. Small but clean hotel. Everything you need basically to crash after a long day is available. Small bathroom with a small tub in the room. Lots of local business man.

An alright stay
Very small rooms. Staff had little english vocabulary. Breakfast buffet was less than mediocre - a few choices of pastries and "fruit" juice that is more like cordial (the machine literally dispenses syrup and water at the same time to make "juice). The wifi was quite strong from my room. the hotel is only approx 50m from the train station.

The biggest drawback to this hotel is the 4pm check-in. Compared with other business hotels, this is unreasonable.

Great Location!
Well, the room is as small as they can come but for the right price it is a good deal; the location, right outside the train station, was really convenient. Don't count on staff to communicate much in English but they will try to help. Elevator locked on the 1st floor after 10pm but they don't tell you that!

Can improve
Staying there for past 5 years. Rooms are the smallest you can find. Price is ok and staff friendly. AC filter was never cleaned. Emergency warning system gave me a scare. Sprinted 8 stories down to lobby to realize fire warning on 10th fl was a dud. No announcement was made to that effect.

入口からテーブルまでの間が狭くキャリーを奥に置きたくても持ち上げで運ぶしか出来ないのが大変だった。テーブルに椅子があるので必然的にメイク等は、そこでおこなうのだがライトが斜め上にあるので影になってメイクしにくかった。フロントまでのエレベーターもしくはエスカレーターが欲しい。使うのが業務用?な所から上がるので間違えたかと思ってしまった。 改装した部屋だったのでキレイだったし配置的な事以外は不満は無し。目の間が駅でコンビニやら飲食店は多いし使い勝手は良いと思う。

駅の目の前という立地は最高でしたが、チェックインの手間がかかったり、入り口が階段で、重たい荷物を持って来たのに一気に疲れました。また、受付の方たちがお疲れなのか表情が暗いのが気になりました。施設も全体的に古い感じでした。
