"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe? A Tetris tower with lush greenery sprouting off the balconies, Hamacho is a plot twist for those who think cheap hotels in Tokyo are relegated to capsules and by-the-hour "Love Hotels." What's the backstory? This new multi-use concept proffering teensy hotel rooms and long-term living space is breathing new life into an old-town neighborhood with more wooden roofs than steel-and-glass buildings. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? If you're opting for the smallest rooms make sure you don't bring a large suitcase—there won't be room, but no one does efficiency better than Tokyoites. Opt for a slightly larger room and you'll get a shrub-lined terrace, city views, and plenty of sunlight. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Free wi-fi. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? The concept behind the public spaces is to bring the modern citizen closer to the act of artisanal creation, whether that's an in-house chocolatier or a common area showcasing regional Japanese crafts. And the service? With a goal of integrating guests into the surrounding community, the staff offers Hamacho-branded walking tours of the area, which explore some traditional craftsmen studios and local boutiques. What type of travelers will you find here? You know the folks who have a coupon drawer at home? Yeah, those guys. Is there anything you'd change? We'd love, say, 10 more feet in the entry-level rooms (go for a corner room on a high floor for the allusion of more space). Any other hotel features worth noting? Without a plethora of cool cafes and bars in the area, Sessions, the on-site restaurant, equally serves guests and locals. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? Clean design and perfect housekeeping keep the rooms feeling spare but luxe." - Brandon Presser
