Everything about the B Akasaka screams quality from the moment you walk through the door. The staff is extremely polite and efficient, and eveything from check-in to check-out was done with ease. The rooms are small, but very clean and modern. Though be warned, there's a lot of see through glass windows and door to separate the bathroom from the rest of the room ( you can literally watch Tv while taking a shower), so be sure you're on good terms with whoever you're rooming with.

Overall, the location of the hotel is good, though it may seem a little confusing at first since it is right next to a TV station. But there is a subway stop not far from it.

I stayed for a few nights with a friend.

Facilities: There was a health spa on site, but we didn't use it. Breakfast buffet inc in price was quite good. The free coffee and wifi in the lobby was a nice touch. Staff were very welcoming.

Rooms: Very clean. On the small side, bathrooms are separated from the room by frosted glass walls. The blinds did an excellent job of keeping the room dark, providing a great night' sleep.

Location: This hotel is walking distance from Akasaka metro, however be warned the quickest way is up a very steep hill. The area is quiet, but surrounded by restaurants, and walking distacne (about 20 mins) to Roppongi.

We stayed for one week at this hotel and while the hotel is perfectly clean and the room-service superb, the hotel incomprehensibly doesn't seem to be much interested in international guests.

This starts with "Japanese-only" user manuals in the rooms and ends with staff, that is capable of only rudimentary interactions in English which lead to more than one inconvenient situation.

Even basic questions how to reach the airport or if a receipt can be made out are overstraining the helpful but in terms of language incapable employees.

The rooms aren't too big but spotless and with a superb view over Tokyo. The in-room service is average with a noisy AC and a nice panorama-window overlooking the city.

The B Akasaka is fine - cheap, clean and small singles - but the airconditioning didn't seem to work and I had the window open in the middle of winter and the room was still boiling and it made it impossible to sleep.

The location in Akasaka is good - very close to the metro and a 10 minute walk to a fabulous supermarket at Tokyo Midtown shopping centre. There are lots of shops nearby. The hotel is up a very steep hill, so you should go towards the TBS building and look out for the elevator.
