Can you hold my luggage?
Because the property is unstaffed, we do not hold luggage before check-in or after check-out. Please use a coin locker near the station.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in: from 15:00. Check-out: by 10:00.
What is the cancellation policy?
It depends on the plan. On the Room Only plan (standard rate), cancelling from 6 days before arrival onward, cancelling on the day of arrival, or not turning up costs 100% of the accommodation charge; cancelling earlier than that is free. On the Official Site Exclusive 20% off room rate plan, which applies to stays of 2 nights or more, cancelling from 30 days before arrival onward, cancelling on the day of arrival, or not turning up costs 100% of the accommodation charge; cancelling earlier than that is free. Day counts treat the arrival date itself as "day 0", so the day before arrival is "day 1", based on Japan Standard Time. Where no cancellation charge applies, the amount you prepaid is refunded to the card you booked with. The policy shown on the booking page at the time you book is the one that applies to your booking, so please check it there. Shortening your stay, moving your dates or cancelling only part of a booking is also handled on the site you booked with, and the cancellation policy may apply to the nights you drop.
What is the difference between a 1R and a 2R room?
"1R" is our studio type and "2R" is our two-bedroom type. A 1R (4 of them, about 22 sqm, up to 3 guests) is a studio with a loft - a low-ceilinged sleeping platform reached by a ladder, where you cannot stand up. It has a double bed and a futon (a Japanese mattress laid out on the floor), a combined bath-shower-toilet unit with a bathtub, and a rice cooker. A 2R (2 of them, about 40 sqm, up to 7 guests) has two bedrooms, a living room and a loft, all booked together as one unit: two queen beds, a sofa bed and futons, a separate shower room with no bathtub, and a toilet in its own room with a heated seat and bidet. The 2R has no rice cooker. The bedding layout varies slightly by room, and in the 2R so does the number of lofts and futons. Rooms are assigned on the day of check-in, so we cannot promise a specific room or bedding layout in advance.
How far is Waseda University?
One stop from Takadanobaba to Waseda Station on the Tozai Line, then about a 6-minute walk to the Waseda campus (around Okuma Auditorium).
Can I cook during a longer stay?
Yes — every room has a kitchen (rice cooker in 1R only) and there are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby.
Is late-evening check-in possible?
Yes, self check-in. Check-in is from 15:00.
