“Ridiculous Surcharge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

While the hotel was conveniently located, I cannot forgive it for demanding a surcharge to check in early. Check in was nominally at 3 pm. We were there at 12 noon after flying all night. They told us our room would be ready in a half an hour, but if we wanted to check in before 3, we would have to pay a surcharge. (We dragged ourselves out shopping for a few hours instead.) I have NEVER encountered such a foolish requirement. I didn't demand a rebate when I left two hours before check-out time! That stupid surcharge requirement ruined our whole stay and our opinion of the hotel. I urge a boycott by TripAdvisor members until this ill-advised surcharge is eliminated.

“Fantastic location. Very good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

The hotel is located very close to shinkansen station (20 min walk or 5 min by cab) in a very classy area with global brands and nice small cafes and restaurants.
The hotel staff was neutral. They were helpful but didn't smile much.
Great value for many - we got a very good deal by booking in advance.
Rooms and bathroom were nice and clean. Not very spacious but it's Japan after all.
Close to Tsukiji Fish Market which makes it easier for your early morning trip, close to Kabuki theatre, close to metro station.

Room Tip: check the elevator - it has that quirky old-school floor indicator! like hotels in New York in 80s.

“Very convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

On a quiet street walking distance from Tokyo train station. It's mainly a hotel for laying your head down I would say, the rooms are a little small and could do with repaint but the hotel has a bit of character and a sweet location that carrys it. Also very clean and apart from a few wall scratches and the like the rooms and general layout is very nice. Very good Lawson opposite for picking up bits and pieces (it's some kind of swish Tokyo version with loads of toasted cheese sandwiches and ale, I almost wept, I don't get out of rural Japan much).

Not sure about breakfast but I was up and out early. Pricewise, it's surprisingly good for the location and the decor.

Room Tip: Very quiet area, anywhere should be okay.

“Depends on which type of room you get”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

Good location, near to Tokyo Station (15 min walk) and with a Metro Station a few meters/yards away. A Lawson, a Family Mart, cafes, restaurants, just around the corner. And Ginza Street a 5 minute walk.
The staff is very polite (as usual in Japan) and can communicate in English.
We noticed that about half of the Hotel was refurbished, but unfortunately we got an older room. Not comfortable and because of the earthquake (or so they said) they were keeping the room hotter than usual. We couldn't sleep during the first night (28 Celsius inside, 3 Celsius outside!). After our request to lower the temperature, they said they couldn't but could send someone to open the window and keep it that way. Since this was a quiet street, this fit the bill. We could now control room temperature using curtains and window.

I guess the new rooms are a lot better.

The lobby is very poor and uncomfortable if you have to wait for someone for more than a few minutes.
In short: if you get a good price, and stays out of the hotel most of the time, the friendliness of staff makes you stay bearable

Room Tip: Ask for one of the new rooms
