    the noise of the train kept waking me up and the room is a bit small.

    the staff were pretty helpful with the directions, and the style of the room is cute. Clean and tidy.

    A few bugs around, nothing major but still of note (moths mainly) Shower area is a bit small for trying to change clothes in the washroom Front desk clerk copied my res card without asking to copy it (only passports are required to be copied). I didn't say anything about it at the time as it wasn't worth it, but I would have said no if he had been clear that was what he planned to do.

    Good location, short walk from the station. Rooms are a good size! The room code is a QR code which you can take a pic of and use your phone to get in and out, which is super convenient! There is of course train noise, but they provide ear plugs near the front area!

    as a family travelling, we had our luggage delivered to each hotel so we were not lugging it around with our toddler. all other hotels we stayed at helped us with reservations and organising it. unfortunately this hotel doesn’t have this service but it was ok because the convenience store around the corner did it and we just rolled it down there to do this. did not disrupt our stay though, it was lovely and we would still stay there again!

    great location, friendly staff, clean place to stay. Hotel is as titled, under a railway, we are very heavy sleepers as a family so we didn’t mind it, it didn’t bother us at all.

    The bathroom was the only thing that I did not like. More especially the toilet, too small and tight in every way, but only if you are taking a number 2.

    it was funky and nice. I really enjoy the decor and the staff was super nice.

    The sound-proofing between the rooms is not great. Our room was unfortunately right next to one occupied by obnoxiously loud Americans (playing super loud music, shouting and slamming doors at midnight in a hotel where the doors have amortization!?). I am a bit deaf and usually never hear what happens in adjacent rooms, but these people I could hear perfectly clearly. However the lady at the reception was very kind and obviously did everything she could to help. That said, the hotel ought to invest in better sound-proofing between the rooms, it was too light.

    After 14 hours on a plane, the very kind staff at Under Railway Hotel allowed us to check-in an hour early, which made a huge difference for our entire stay! We loved everything about it — the place is modern, looks very cool, the rooms and beds are comfortable and the bathrooms, while small, are equipped with an excellent shower. The bar area at the entrance was also a really good place to unwind after a day spent walking around the busy city. We also really appreciated that they stored our luggage for a few hours after check-out too! Everything was always clean and we loved the little extras they provided, especially the body scrubber! Lastly, after discovering that our umbrella was too heavy to carry around all day, we found out that we could easily borrow a light, transparent one from the reception, which was a great bonus. All in all, this is a place that you can tell people put great effort into. As for the sound: with my partner being a light sleeper we were a bit worried, but we shouldn’t have been; yes, the trains were loud, but the hotel very kindly provided ear plugs, and the trains stop between midnight and 5AM. If anything, we both found the sound of trains quite soothing rather than annoying.

    You can definitely hear the trains running above the room, for us it wasn't that much of a disturbance but can be annoying for light sleepers that want to sleep in late or go to bed early. the trains do stop during the night after midnight ish until maybe 5am ish.

    The room was really nice, clean and comfortable, the hotel will store your bags for free before/after check in which is great! The staff is really helpful, the small caffe has really affordable breakfast/lunch items which are delicious.

    The beds could be a bit firmer; this is only due to my having back issues, the room size is on the small size, but as expected for Japan.

    Closeness to the station and fantastic amenities. While you hear the trains overhead, I never felt it was an issue, we thought it added to the atmosphere of the hotel. Very good value for money.

    Need to be aware that, as the name states, you are directly under the railway and WILL hear the train/metro above you. Not an issue for us heavy sleepers, but best be aware for light sleepers!

    The hotel is great and located squarely in Akihabara. It’s definitely a tight squeeze but was perfect for our needs!

    Staff were a little rude but that could be the language barrier. We asked for additional pillows (as 2 of our group of 4 like to sleep with 2 pillows) but they weren't available so we has go use towels.

    Good location and very clean. Noise is as expected.

    There were some small damages left from other visitors in the room and you can hear the trains running overhead. I’m not bothered by that but there might be some who are. There was a small problem with a misunderstanding about how long we would be staying but it was easily fixed. the ladder up to the bunk bed made me a bit uneasy.

    Cheap, comfortable and close to Akihabara station.

    Small room, whilst the trains are running in the day and night you will hear the traintrack noise from your room - so just keep this in mind when booking if you are a light sleeper as you are likely to be awoken.

    Fantastic location, clean rooms. High tech (room key was a QR code which you could take a picture of with your phone so it was convenient to not have to carry a key around.
