Good hotel, convenient location, just skip the breakfast.
Reviewed By SkioldStayed here one night on a business trip, room was large by Japanese standards and clean. Staff was super-helpful and friendly. Lopcation is 2 minute walk from train station and 5 minute walk from a nice park and the Tsukuba Space Center. My only complaint is that the breakfast is pretty inedible and way overpriced at $10. Walk 1 minute next door to the Starbucks or Mister Donut.
2. Hotel Nikko Tsukuba

This refined hotel established under the concept of a futuristic hotel is situated in the heart of Tsukuba, a city with a cosmopolitan flavor that also boasts natural beauty, including the vista of Mt. Tsukuba, that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. Hotel Nikko Tsukuba is 2 minutes’ walk from Tsukuba station on the Tsukuba Express line, offering great convenience not only for business travelers, but also as a hub for leisure activities and sightseeing.
Okura Group Hotel, at the terminal station of the Tsukuba Express Line
Reviewed By AbeKumaoThe main building and the annex one are connected by pedestrian deck at the station. Old rooms, and new rooms partially renovated for the G7 conference, are mixed on the same floor. In addition, smoking and non-smoking rooms are mixed on the same floor, so smell of the smoke in the corridor is unpleasant. Newly renovated room, a junior suite, that we stayed, was very comfortable. The room was large, with two big screen TVs, and the bath was very comfortable with a washing area. The restaurant also has Western, Chinese and Japanese food, all of which are very delicious.

Nice Discount Hotel with breakfast
Reviewed By jmolnar2018This hotel has it all. An attractive foyer with marble floors, a seating area with comfy couches for waiting on and a polite staff (common in Japan). Within 1/2 block of the Kenyu-Gakuen Tsukuba Express train station, and a block from the Ijas Shopping Mall, it is ideally situated to everything in easy walking distance. The staff has some English speaking personnel. It has an Onsen (public bath) on the second floor if you don't mind bathing nude with others of your gender. The rooms are small but meticulously clean and comfortable with the usual double bed, desk, fridge and bath. This, as in other good Japanese hotels, has an amazing hot shower, ready at the temperature you set, and toilets with warm seats and many cleaning options. The hotel breakfast is buffet and available for around the equivalent of $12/person. They serve cold sunny side up eggs (we heated them in bowls of boiling water from the tea urn). Cold eggs seem to be a Japanese preference. They also have stew, fish, meatballs, bread, cereal, salad, Danishes, yogurt and fruit cocktail. It is a business hotel so there aren't a bunch of fancy frills like a resort, but the price was better than nearby hotels by at least 10 percent. Thus, it is almost always booked up. We had to book about 9 months ahead for our trip. Our following trip where we were going within 5 months, it was booked up, but then, it was a Japanese national holiday when we travelled there again, so that could have been a factor. TIP: If you are going to Japan on Golden Week, Silver Week or New Years, book a year in advance.

It's far, bad Wi-Fi, but affordable
Reviewed By mapphobiaIt was a little far from Tsukuba station. But, it's still in a walking distance. You can feel gorgeous atmosphere at the lobby floor for the price. My guest room was at the corner. It was roomy with two beds. It was chilly even in March, so I turned on the AC to the max. The Wi-Fi had a bad connection through the night probably due to heavy traffic. The reception of the Wi-Fi was improved in the morning. The best thing of this hotel was the affordable rate.

Great
Reviewed By skullchemVery nice updated hotel. Very quiet. Highly Suggest if you are in the area. Nonsmoking room smelled good. Get a view room as it’s on the north side and very quiet. TripAdvisor wants me to add more characters.

Very good Value for money
Reviewed By Vincenzo BRoom is spacious and estreme clean. Staff is very professional, kind and speaks a good english. They have a shuttle bus to and from Tsukuba station (booking is needed). Breakfast is not expensive, although the choice of food can be improved, especially when it comes to the so called "continental breakfast". I recommend this place for a business traveler.

Japanese style room
Reviewed By cheuk yu cA friend and I were in Tsukuba for a 4-day conference. We stayed in a Japanese style room for 4, so the 2 of us found it spacious. We like the Japanese style very much. The location is nice, 15 minutes of walk from train station and to the conference centre. The neighbourhood is nice with beautiful autumn leaves. What could be better is the variety of breakfast. On my last day of stay, they even only refilled rice.

2 Stars...yet I really wanted to like this hotel
Reviewed By Michael SI want to preface my review by saying that I really wanted to like this hotel—I tried hard to, even. But in the end, the cons outweigh the pros by 2-to-1. First, the things I liked about it: (1) Friendly staff. The gentleman that greeted me expected my arrival and had the paperwork prepared and ready for check-in. The manager (due to his attentiveness and manner, I assume the owner of the property, too) at the front desk was genuinely friendly (not just polite and hospitable), a regular Hiroyuki who cared about his trade and was doing his best to make a living. He and his reception staff spoke good English, and did their best to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were well-prepared for an English-speaking guest. (2) Room was clean and spartan. Hotel has Western- and Japanese-style rooms—I had the latter, by choice. As with any ryokan with tatami [mats], it smelled of fresh straw (wonderful!). Low coffee table and chairs for tatami-room use, per the custom. Bedding also per the custom. (3) Pitcher of hot water waiting on the table for my arrival, along with two teabags of sencha and a traditional pot to brew them in. A nice touch. (4) New air conditioning unit. Always a plus! (5) Price: ¥4300 for my stay. Taken by itself, it's hard to beat. (6) Yukata…actually fit! I’m 5’10” @ 180, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the yukata provided actually fit me comfortably. I would have bought such a size for myself. (7) Parking: free! If you're unfamiliar with driving and trying to find available and affordable parking in Japan, you may not realize that this is a big "pro." (8) Room size: Not your standard Japanese shoebox hotel room. Plenty of room to stretch out. A small thing for a solo traveler, but noteworthy at least. Now, for the cons. Unfortunately, these outweighed the pros not numerically but substantially. (1) Very uncomfortable and thin pillow. I woke up several times because my arm/shoulder were going to sleep. No neck support. Extra pillows in the closet, but without pillow cases, which rendered them (to me) unusable. It was difficult to sleep for more than 60-90 minutes at a stretch. (2) Public bath area closed at…22:30 (10:30 pm)! Yikes. I got back from a night dining and shopping at 22:36 and was not able to bathe. Now, in all fairness the staff were up front about the public bath hours during check-in. My complaint here is that 22:30 is, to me, too early to close the only shower/bath area. Midnight or 01:00, but 22:30? For the Western-style rooms, I am unsure whether they have a private shower; this "con" may be irrelevant if they do. (3) Unwelcoming exterior and unkept grounds. This is a big deal to me because when I drove up, my very first thought was, “Oh boy, this is my hotel?” I almost drove away, prepared to sacrifice the 100% cancellation fee (¥4300), to find a new hotel. But I am nothing if not frugal, so I resolved to stay, hoping that what counted was on the inside. But if first impressions are everything, then this hotel needs to clean up its exterior. I am not kidding when, upon first driving up, I thought the place might be abandoned. (4) Crummy location. Downtown Tsukuba is 16 minutes away by car. An expensive cab ride if you don’t have a rental. Nearest train station is a 40-50 minute walk. (5) Shabby interior and old amenities. The property is desperately in need of renovation. Carpets throughout the lobby are ripped and held together with black tape. Vinyl chairs in the lobby are cracked and showing age; similar use of aforementioned black tape. And so on. The hotel was probably built in the 80s or (at the latest) the very early 90s, and doesn’t appear to have been renovated since. In my room, the handles on the closet were loose, the closet sliding door had a grapefruit-sized hole in it, the sink was somewhat detached from the wall (it wasn’t installed that way), and…a loud, dirty, rotary-dial phone…seriously?! New room phones are like $10 for a cheap one, maybe $20 for one that has the extra wiring a hotel needs. Old air conditioning unit in the room that is not in use still oddly installed. Towel: small, old, and thin from so many wash cycles. The towel was clean, to be sure, but for a hotel, this towel was past its lifespan by at least 5 years (generously). (6) WiFi…sucked!!! When I could get a signal, it was sloooooooow. Frequently timed out. Took forever to load a single webpage on my computer, and I eventually gave up and typed this review on Apple Notes for future posting. Also, the wifi automatically times out after inactivity, and you don’t have be inactive long. The wifi was free, but I'd have happily paid a few extra yen for better wifi. (7) Hot water...what hot water!? There is a sink in the room, but hot water is not on tap. Against my conservationist proclivities, I tested whether the water would ever be hot by letting it run for about 7 minutes. Nope. I was only on the 2nd floor, too. At best after 7 minutes it was just under room temperature and wasn't heating up. My guess it that the water in the room is going to be as hot as ground water is during that season. Beware of winter water! (8) No baggage rack or place to store luggage. I packed light and still had trouble finding a place other than the tatami mat floors to put my backpack and overhead bin-sized suitcase. (9) Check out: at 07:45 when I left, there was no one at the front desk. I'm not irked about my stay so much as disappointed. As I said, there are things to like about this hotel, but ultimately I would not stay there again (and I will be back in Tsukuba City again next year). For sure I would not want to bring my wife there, and it is not a place I would take kids.
