Akihabara Washington Hotel
This hotel is dated but extremely clean. I had a small issue with the firmness of the beds but the staff worked to resolve the issue quickly and to beyond satisfaction. I would recommend the Akiba Washington to anyone without issue. Great hotel.

Nohga was the first hotel in a string of accommodations for our trip and I’m sad we didn’t book more Nohga hotels for the rest of our time in Japan. Everything was great and the staff was excellent.
