[Traveller2003]

Hi,

Not sure whether appropriate to post here but no flaming please as I am just helping a colleague. A colleague of mine going to Tokyo for 1 week. He wants to know where to find cheap but still "livable" condition in Tokyo.

Many thanks in advance.

very vague... what is your colleague's idea of cheap... at least put down the budget or your colleagues idea and expectation.... everyone's expectation of "livable" is different. I only so need a bed that's all ..... so a capsule hotel that just provides a bed space is livable to me.

not flaming you. but with a figure to work with, Bros here will be able to refer you to more specific hotels or service apartments.

Cheers!

Almost impossible..... unless its like I said... capsule bed hotels....
100SGD converts to about 6500yen ( roughly around 15.5 I think )...

Cheapest I know of is 8600+ yen... and that is dirt cheap compare to hotel rack rates of even co-orporate rates.... this is a service apartment with a very small kitchen, with a hot plate and pot for cooking.
Microwave can be rented at 1000yen for a month (even if you use it for one day)...

http://www.wmt.co.jp you can get your friend to check out this site... they have service apartments all over japan. the catch is, the website is all in japanese.... booking is done by Phone only with credit card.

CHeers!

Agree. 60USD you'll get half a night at best.

Once I stayed here.

It's more kind of an appartement, with little plate to cook, microwave and washing machine with dryer.
Also they offer free 24/7 internet connection, so bring your notebook.

I love those heated toilets.....

Cheers!
