This is our second Sotetsu property stay so we already came in with some idea of what the chain brings. Expect a lot of nice amenities at this site despite rather cramped rooms and a rather business-centric location.
There are a ton of amenities to take advantage of at Sotetsu properties- we really enjoyed the free take as you need sunscreen and moisturizing face masks. The one amenity that is a bit lacking is room. Granted, we got two huge double beds in our room, but this meant that it took up almost the entire room so there was very little floor space and so we were playing a bit of tetris with our luggage. The room does have a tiny fridge underneath the desk but lacks a microwave, you'll need to head to the 2nd floor for a shared one as well as a coin laundry. The room condition was fine overall but was noticeably more dated than our Sotetsu property in Kyoto.
As for the general area, Kanda is very business-centric and you'll see a lot of silent salarymen marching every morning and evening. This does mean there's a lot of evening hang out sites for yakitori, but not a lot in terms of groceries or tourist-centric shops. We chose the location primarily because of the many subway lines nearby. It's one stop away from Tokyo/Akihabara, and also has easy access to the Ginza line.
I will add a specific shoutout to the front staff at the location. We had a bit of a clogged sink and the front clerk took it upon himself to inspect and fix our sink, outstanding service!
