Overview
A one-minute walk from the West Exit of Meguro Station is the defining advantage at Hotel Abest Meguro. Reception is on the third floor of the Megurodo building, so guests arriving with luggage don't face a long walk through the neighborhood.
The room range is broader than the simple setup might suggest. Compact singles and semi-doubles keep costs down, while twins, triples, and four-person layouts give couples, families, and small groups more workable options.
Rooms
Single and semi-double rooms measure about 12 to 14 square meters. Double rooms are roughly 18 to 20 square meters, standard twins are 19 square meters, and selected triple and suite categories reach 30 square meters. Extra-bed layouts accommodate groups of up to four adults.
All rooms have duvets, a refrigerator, a kettle, a television, and a private bathroom. Smoking and non-smoking rooms are on separate floors, so check the room type when booking rather than assuming the entire hotel is smoke-free.
Facilities
Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. Luggage can be left before check-in or after checkout. On the fifth floor, two washing machines and two dryers help with longer Tokyo stays.
Vending machines, rental irons and air purifiers, and a shampoo bar at reception cover other everyday needs. Facilities otherwise stay close to the essentials. There is no gym, spa, or large lounge, leaving room choice and station proximity as the main reasons to book.
Dining
Breakfast is served on the third floor from 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM, with last orders at 9:00 AM. Each meal centers on either a beef or chicken steak, accompanied by a rotating selection of Japanese side dishes, curry, and self-service drinks. The current price is 1,800 yen.
Some rates include breakfast, while others offer it separately. For lunch and dinner, the streets around Meguro Station have convenience stores and numerous casual restaurants within a short walk.
Location and transport
Use the West Exit of Meguro Station. The published walk takes one minute, and the entrance is inside the Megurodo building, with reception reached by elevator on the third floor. The hotel has no parking, although paid public car parks are available nearby.
Meguro is served by the JR Yamanote Line, Tokyu Meguro Line, Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, and Toei Mita Line. Yamanote Line trains run directly to Shibuya, Shinjuku, Shinagawa, and Tokyo, while the Namboku and Mita lines provide additional cross-city routes.
Airport access
Neither Haneda nor Narita Airport has a direct train from Meguro. For Haneda, take the Yamanote Line to Shinagawa and transfer to the Keikyu Airport Line.
For Narita, take the Yamanote Line to Shinagawa and change to a Narita Express service. Both journeys require one transfer, but the one-minute station walk avoids a longer final connection through the neighborhood.
Why stay here
Immediate station access and budget rates are the priorities here, not contemporary design or an extensive facilities list. Room sizes vary significantly: the smallest category measures 12 square meters, while doubles, twins, and group layouts range from 18 to 30 square meters. If you're carrying more luggage or sharing, compare categories carefully before booking.
The wider Tokyo-Ebisu / Meguro area also appeals to visitors who prefer evenings outside Tokyo's busiest entertainment districts. The Meguro River is the neighborhood's best-known walk, with landscaped banks, restaurants, and cherry blossoms that draw the largest crowds in spring.
Good to know
Standard check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM, although some plans include a later departure. Reception is on the third floor rather than at street level.
The hotel has separate smoking and non-smoking floors, no dedicated parking, and no safe inside guest rooms. Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate, and room sizes vary substantially, so confirm the exact category and smoking status before paying.
