Hotel Gran Villa

Very clean

The place is pretty convenient to Sugamo Station, the price was pretty good, and the room is well soundproofed and pretty large.

Hotel placed in a narrow and dark street. When we arrived we discovered it was a "Love hotel" (an hotel where people generally go to have sex paying the room depending on how many hours they stay), which wasnt specified previously. The recepcionist tells us that everytime we live the hotel we have to give her the card key to enter the room and when we come back she will give it to us again (very uncomfortable and I dont see the point on not having the key of my own room). If that wasnt enoguh, the room smells badly to smoke because it has no windows and smoking is allowed. But to me the worst thing was that we coudlnt lock the door of our own room like a normal hotel. You can lock the door when you are inside but once you leave, the room isnt locked and you CANT lock it, leaving all your luggage inside without any type of garantee no one will enter. I asked the recepcionist why our room kept open when we left and she said "we will close it for you once you leave the hotel". The thing is, we came back like 30 minutes after leaving and our room was still open. We decided to leave and got no refundation because we already had done the check in. Even though we stayed for less than an hour and had a reservation for 2 days.
