“a bit outdated but quiet hide place in Ginza”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011
8
people found this review helpful

Despite its prime location, the hotel lacks magnificent views which you might get from Peninsula or Imperial's Tower floors due to architectural height regulations of Ginza district, but for those of you looking for the ultimate convenience of access to Ginza main street, this is the place.
The main entrance is set back half block from the street, and also the presence of doormen, helps the walk-ins away and keeps the hotel very quiet all day - making it a nice hide place for your personal short stay.

However upon our arrival the hotel receptionists were whispering, and sloppy (took time to confirm reservation and also forgot to explain about meal coupons), so they lacked the traditional Japanese welcoming hospitality which we expected by reading past reviews.

We stayed in the Sakura Suite - which was roomy for a Japanese hotel, but had no wifi (only ethernet via cable connection : JPY1,575 per day), no iPod mountable radio in the room (CD/MD only), and no cable TVs (only local Japanese channels, no BBS, CNN nor ESPN), and there was no ottoman to use when you're seating the sofa and watching TV - so it's very difficult to justify the rack rate of JPY80,000.

My wife and I stayed in this suite for a night - a discounted JPY48,000 package deal including 5 course French dinner for 2 at the hotel's main restaurant "Repertoire" and also in-room dining Japanese breakfasts for 2.
This package eventually proved to be an excellent deal, solely because of the dinner. We must admit the restaurant was excellent, fresh and creative translation of traditional French dinner into modern fine fusion, and it instantly became one of our favorite dine places in Ginza.

These special dinner & room plans often appears on Japanese hotel reservation websites such as Ikyu, so it is recommended for any seasoned Japan traveler to plan ahead and check the package deals before you book. But if you are business traveler looking for a modern & efficient equipped room, there are lots of other options.

Room Tip: don't expect great views, but go find package deals including the dinner at

“Great Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

They do make you feel like a king. Right from the valet to check in, you are taken care off. A small boutique hotel with super sized rooms and right in the heart of Ginza, Tokyo's priciest district. The staff are exemplary. The concierge is intelligent and interesting. I will go back again.

“An escape from the city!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

Since we first arrived we were treated like royalty. The room was so comfortable and extremely quiet. There was a connecting living room which I loved since I stay up late. It was extremely hot the date we checked out. As we pulled away, the GM came running after us with cold bottles of water to take along. This is after we checked-out! They really know what excellent service is.

The Italian restaurant was unforgettable. Each dish in the course had many different flavors to experience.

“well located and confortable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

We stayed at the Seiyo Ginza Hotel, and would return there / recommend it without doubts. Very well located and confortable, but sometimes it was difficult to understand the "english" the concierge was speaking. They were extremely helpful, but we had all we asked written down and double-checked... If you need connected rooms, be sure to have this stated in your voucher, otherwise (as was our case - we had just an email...), forget it.

“Exceptional Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I just returned from a four-night stay at Hotel Seiyo Ginza and it was a wonderful stay overall, mainly because of the exceptional service provided by the hotel staff.

I contacted the Concierge staff by email prior to arrival to request reservations for restaurants I wanted to try. They were able to book all the reservations I requested and also made recommendations where needed. I was traveling with my husband, parents, and sister and we also asked the hotel to arrange guided tours of major sights in Tokyo, as well as a tour of the Tsukiji fish market. They were able to recommend a very good private guide who spoke completely fluent English and was knowledgeable on the history of the sights.

I would highly recommend the Tsukiji fish market experience. Despite the early hour (had to be in line at 4am), the tuna auction was unlike anything else I've seen. For the sushi breakfast, our guide was able to recommend a phenomenal restaurant at the market that is not in guidebooks. This was my fourth visit to Tokyo, but I think Tsukiji was debatably the most interesting sight to see in the city.

Aside from the great Concierge services, the rest of the hotel was also excellent. Rooms were large by Tokyo standards, especially the spacious bathrooms, and were consistently well-sized; we had three rooms and all were similar in size. The location is also very convenient, as the hotel is located right in the heart of the Ginza shopping district and steps away from the Ginza subway line.

The hotel is in general very quiet and elegant, with exceptional service. The hotel staff recognize guests by face and name, which I thought was quite impressive, given the size of the hotel. Each time we arrived back at the hotel to pick up our keys, they had them ready for us, without having to ask our names or room nujbers. If you're looking for a more modern, trendy type of hotel, this is not it, but if you want understated elegance, with attention to detail, the Seiyo Ginza is the perfect choice.
