Disliked: Cleanliness
Pretty average stay. The carpet was very stained and the room was not the cleanest. Can’t see out the windows or open them. Small room. Very close to two stations so good for getting around and only 15 minutes walk to America Mura, 20 to dontonburi. The app worked well for check in and check out. Can store your bags before and after your stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
The location is far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to get to if you wanted to be a part of it. The room and building were great and I really loved my stay, however, the room doors are battery-operated and mine wouldn’t work on the last night of my stay. I arrived after a long day trip and there was no one at the front desk to help me get in and the emergency number that we were told to contact didn’t work. It was stressful and I was ready to set up camp in the lobby until a worker showed up in the morning. Luckily I kept researching and found another number on the hotel app to call and someone came to help quickly. This resource should be corrected immediately as the emergency information posted is unclear and difficult to follow, especially for foreign travelers. If this didn’t happen, my stay would have been amazing but instead, I left a bit stressed and uneasy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great location. 5 minutes walk to metro. 10 minutes walk to Shinsaibashi street shopping or Metro station through Crystal Underground shopping street. Quiet neighbour hood but with convenience store close by. Staff is nice. We have 3 person room with nice comfy beds. The washroom is very small like in a cruise ship but clean. I like to have small fridge. I will recommend and go back again. Great value.

Overall, the stay was good. The location is not too far from the main areas. The room could have been cleaner; the carpet wasn't very clean or vacuumed. It is a small space, good for one person.

It was a nice stay at WAYFARER Matsu. However, the bathroom is tight and one step above the floor. If the bathroom door open to the wall side, it will make walking in and out of the bathroom easier.
