MAT Ryogoku

Lots of space and in a part of the city with a lot of sumo culture

The key box is a bit of a pain in the bum

Gli appartamenti messi a disposizioni sono nuovi, la posizione ottima, con un Lawson proprio sotto, perfetto per degli acquisti last minute. Sono collocati a 10 minuti a piedi da due stazioni della metro. L'appartamento perfetto per due, con un letto matrimoniale e un divano letto, un terrazzino ampio, uno spazio cucina, e doccia e bagno separati.

Unica "pecca" che mi viene in mente, il phon era rovinato e non si poteva praticamente usare.

Appartamento comodissimo, ben fornito, in una posizione ottima vicina a più fermate della metro/treni (10 minuti a piedi). Lo staff gentilissimo, ha sempre risposto velocemente a ogni dubbio

L'unica pecca è che quando siamo arrivati abbiamo notato che l'appartamento non era stato pulito benissimo, c'era un po' di sporco e capelli negli angoli

Location was good, albeit a bit of a short walk from the station. It has several public transport options within a 10 minute walk though. The building is quite new so the accommodation is in a good state of repair and appliances are also new.

It is managed like a hotel and this creates friction as it can not possibly provide the service of a hotel. The amount of items in the house are at the bare minimum, but if something is missing, there is no way to ask reception to get it asap. Cleaningness is not as good as a hotel, finding the appartment clean overall, but with hair and dust collecting in the corners. Floor had some sticky substance on places from previous users and had not been cleaned properly. The worst if the absurd check in and check out times. They follow the japanese hotel format with a 4pm check in, which means to be bound with a suitcase and totally exhausted from a 15hours plus plane trip for hours before being allowed to enter. The check out is at 10am which also means to wake up and rush to pack and get out. Being an appartment they could offer more flexibility as in an unmanned check in process. Why not allow a 1pm check in if the appartment is ready? And this is a criticism to all japanese accommodation industry... why do they need 6 hours to clean a place? It is the worst customer service possible if it is no possible to improve the customer experience that forces tourist to carry all their stuff all day, and then have to leave so early that have to carry their luggage for another 6 hours until next check in.
