BnA STUDIO Akihabara

AKiHABARA is not what it used to be,It smells and everything look very out of date and lots of very cute young girls trying to attract older men. The hotel rooms are very nice and staffs are pleasant

This place is so cool! Perfect place for fun and friends!

Loved our stay at BnA Studio. Just a small hotel, in a quiet residential area but only a couple of minutes from the action of Akihabara and not far from Ueno. Our room was great, really stylish, very spacious with everything you might need. Was very helpful to have a washer/dryer and the kitchen was well equipped. The only thing missing for us was an iron. Staff were friendly and we would definitely stay there again.

WiFi doesn’t work in my room. Check in process is the worst experience I have ever had. No desk in the room and chairs are wobbly. There are way better and cheaper options in the Akihabara area.

This place is beautiful! Also check-in and check-out was incredibly easy. The kind gentleman at the front desk also went out of his way to retrieve and save my passport when I left it in my room when I checked out. You won’t regret booking this place!

The room was certainly not the average motel room. It was called the "athletic" room with good reason. It was incredibly challenging for an older couple and was more suited to young people with gymnastic backgrounds. You had to wriggle your way on and off the main bed like a caterpillar using pipes and the edge of stairs to help drag yourself to the head of the bed. The person on the other side had to curl up into a ball in order to put their feet through a metre gap to squeeze out of the bed or to get back in. During all of these manoeuvres, you had to take care not to hit your head on the base of the bed situated above you at a right angles. The room itself had metal pipes standing everywhere plus lamps and other paraphernalia in peculiar places and electrical cords running all over the place so it was like an obstacle course. On one wall was glassed in shelving called the Junk Kiosk and the shelves certainly held a heap of unrelated objects probably rescued from a forlorn end. On the plus side, the separate bathroom was great with modern facilities. The room was spotless which was a credit to the cleaner. How she managed to make up those beds every day was little short of a miracle. I felt for her as i would have found the task impossible given the number of fixed impediments around the bed. I kept imagining how it would be to have to rely on that job to earn a living and thought I'd be standing at the edge of the highest balcony willing myself to jump.

One of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed

We stayed in the Zen room on the 4th floor. It's a one-floor one-tooth concept and the elevator takes you directly to your doorstep. The room was VERY clean, and spacious, and our room had a large kind beds, a balcony, and a washer and dryer. Staffs were available round the clock to support and check-in and check-out were super easy. I highly recommend it and definitely will stay there again. The train station was about a 5 to 7-minute walk away. So if you have large and heavy luggage, plan your trip accordingly.

Awesome and unique place

Great overall, amazing shower pressure, bed comfy and quiet AC . I wish the front desk was nicer, I hate the automated check in proceses. Nice amenities, washer dryer, kitchen and good decor.

The room was interesting, and everything was clean and in good condition. It would have been nice if the room had somewhere to sit other than on the beds. The bathroom was really large. Overall a no-frills property with interesting decor that was very conveniently located to several subway lines, shops, and restaurants.

Very minimalist, You sign in and check out by yourself, your room is cleaned every day

Great place. We’ve never stayed in a room like it. The coolest hotel we’ve ever seen. The people were nice. The only drawback was that our room did not have a single chair. It offers Netflix, though. A nice bonus!

Great location and a respite from exhausting crush of the city streets. However, only a few blocks away, you have electric town and the Ginza line. Our kids enjoyed it thoroughly.

Cool little boutique hotel. We stayed in athletic park room which was really fun. Note there are limited outlets in the room which was odd but they tried to offset the issue by providing a power strip. Room comes with kitchen and washer and dryer machine which was huge as we traveled in September where it was still incredibly hot. So the ability to do laundry was huge. Rooms can be reached by stairs or a small little elevator. We used the elevator to take our luggage to our rooms but otherwise took the stairs most of the time as it was faster. Location isn’t the closest to public transportation. There is a Ginza subway stop not far from hotel but when you’re walking the city with luggage, it can feel like a mile away! Lots of local food options nearby including 7-11/ grocery. Around the corner is a dessert stand selling tayaki which made for great night treats. Akihabara main shopping/electronics area is walkable but several blocks away. Staff was very helpful. If you arrive before check in, they have locks to lock up your luggage so you can walk around.

A very cute and fun hotel near transportation and walkable to things like fancy coffee and vegan ramen for people who care about that stuff (me). The staff was very very nice and the room was very cool. I also appreciated being able to do laundry in the room and that soap etc seemed to all be fragrance free.

We loved our stay at this hotel. The room concept was great for the kids, the rooms had everything we needed. Its about a 15 min walk from akhiabara station and 2 minute walk from Ginza subway line, so location is great as well

Artistically done and spacious for a family of four. Toiletries and detergents are eco-friendly brands. Nearest train station is just a block away. Favorite part is the washing machine. Very convenient and relaxing stay in a such a busy city.

The zen garden is unique, however the novelty wears off within seconds of stepping in. Very minimalistic, with very few amenities, especially in the kitchen. Poorly planned space. No shelves or hanging rack in the closet. And a whole enclave section with decor on the ground that could have been used for a much needed dresser instead. Washer/dryer is very poor at drying clothes. Had to run the wash cycle twice because clothes did not even smell clean. Then ran the dryer twice. At the lobby is a young man who spent all his time sitting at a small desk video conferencing with friends while studying for school. I always felt horrible interrupting him with any questions I had or asking him for anything I needed. Not sure if he is a hired employee or just the owner’s son. On the bright side, the room was very clean and somewhat spacious for a family of 4

Staff was very courteous and helpful
