Boutique hotels seem very interesting to me. I've noticed the "b" hotels around (red square with a lowercase b in it) in different places, and online pictures look like they're modernish and they have some pretty good hotels, location-wise.
Tokyu Stay hotels have in-room washer dryers and desks.

The Hotel New Ueno is a 60-step walk from the turnstile devices on the left-hand side at Ueno Station’s main entrance, the one that’s in front of Ameyoko, the notorious market for contraband and pirated goods. I’ve stayed there about six times. Price varies by season by you can get a decent room there for about 45 US Dollars a night. No room service, breakfast, gym or public bath. A classic, no frills business and tourist hotel.
