Hi I'm new here. I have booked a flight to Japan for next month. So now all I have to do is find a decent hotel or hostel to stay at for 7 days. My criteria is as follows:
-Clean
-Single room with bathroom/shower
-Internet access
-English/Chinese speaking staff
-Easy access to transportation
-Near Akihabara
-Price range $130USD and below
Idk... browse hotel/hostel sites! but on a helpful note, you should have no problem finding hotels in the $130 range, that is an average price for hotels. Hostels on the other hand, if you are willing to give up some privacy (ie: dorm style rooms with bunk beds etc.) can be had for $20-30 a night, and all of them will have showers and internet access.
Some hostels offer small single/double rooms for $60-70, with no attached shower, but once you are in that territory you should be able to find a budget hotel that will do better.
Personally I would much rather stay in a hostel, where things to do and people to hang out with are easy to come by- not to mention keeping your extra $100 for spending money, imagine what you could do every day on that!
edit: ok i basically threw your criteria out the window, and instead offered a completely different set of advice... but now you know what your options are!
