Based on the reviews in TA we decided to stay at this "traditional" ryokan. There is a lot of good things to say about this hotel. It is very convenient to airport transportation, the place is spotlessly clean, the neighborhood is more working class than traditional, it is close to many points of interest, around the corner from a subway... more

Fantastic ryokan in a great location, a quiet neighbourhood central to both the Sendagi subway and the JR Nippori stations, making it easy to get around Tokyo. Clean, modern, and your own ensuite. more

This is the cleanest place I have ever stayed in! A little tricky to find in the beginning but once you find your feet you will love exploring the area. The room was immaculate, quite small but very comfortable. The service from the reception staff was very helpful pointing out little restaurants to eat at and places to explore. If... more

we booked this accom based on trip advisor and was everything we wanted for our japanese stay. Arriving at 8:30am we were delighted to be told that our room would be ready in half an hour - great service. We covered every district in Tokyo and found this hotel to be in such a quiet and quaint district with real... more

We chose this place from the reviews on Tripadvisor, but were still surprised of how new and elegant it was. The architecture is almost europan, with wooden floors, steel, glass and stone. This mixes very well with japanese simplicity. You sleep japanse style, on futons on a raised, tatami mat-covered floor. But all rooms are ensuite, you have well working... more

I booked this for a solo trip to Tokyo after reading all the glowing reviews on Trip Advisor, and I have to say this place deserves them. I stayed in a single room and paid 6,300 yen per night, which is a steal in Tokyo. The room was small, but just enough for a solo traveler like me. There was... more

I just got back from Tokyo where I stayed at Annex Katsutaro for about 9 days. It's a charming ryokan located in a very quaint section of Tokyo called Yanaka. It's an easy walk from either the JR Nippori station (maybe 10 minutes) or from Tokyo Metro's Chiyoda line, Sendagi station (maybe 5 minutes). The walk from Nippori station to... more

This ryokan was wonderful! The bed was soft, the room was incredibly cool (being traditional Japanese-style), and the service from the staff was excellent. Annex Katsutaro Ryokan is located in a great shitamachi district (traditional Tokyo) that's removed from all the crowds and intensity. However, it's close enough to the subway and JR Railway that one has no trouble going... more

If you're looking for great value, clean, welcoming accommodation in a charming area of Tokyo, then look no further! We really enjoyed our 6 nights at Annex Katsutaro, the location is well located to the subway and the JR station (Yamanote Line - very handy), which meant it was really easy to explore Tokyo from here. However, the area Annex... more
