“Just an ordinary hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

The check in was quick. Nothing special about the room but it is clean. The bed was indeed hard but it was fine for me. The hotel is about 10-15 minutes walking from JR Shimbashi Station through the underpass. Don't expect too much from the breakfast. It is very simple. Overall it was just an ordinary hotel for one night business trip.

“Rock-hard beds; smelly, noisy rooms.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked this hotel because of it's proximity to Ginza and the metro, and because it had breakfast included. Should've paid closer attention to the reviews on Trip Advisor. The bed was indeed hard as a rock, literally. Both my friend who I was traveling with and I had trouble sleeping because the bed was so uncomfortable. In addition, the room stank of cigarette smoke, even though it was sold as a non-smoking room. Major pet peeve!! I could feel myself starting to get sick from the smoke smell, then when I finally crawled into bed, I discovered that the sheets smelled of smoke, too! I tried to open the door, only to be blasted with the sound of the bullet train down below. So the choice was: suffocate in the room with the window closed and live with the stench of cigarette smoke, or not sleep at all because of the loud train outside. I had to opt for the former because I was so exhausted. Just sprayed the room and the sheets with some perfume to try to mask it. The breakfast was also nothing impressive. If you're trying to pick a reasonably priced hotel, and think going with this one is a steal because breakfast is included, think again. There are tons of reasonably priced cafe's throughout the city to get a cup of coffee and a light meal in the morning that you shouldn't have a problem. Spend your money on a place where the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable.

Room Tip: Don't stay here. I've heard the Hotel Okura, Tokyo Dome, and ANA Tokyo are much, much bette...

“Great Position & very clean and friendly hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

person found this review helpful

The Limosine bus from Narita drops you at the Conrad Hotel next door and you then walk through the fabulous skyscrapers to reach the Villa Fontaine in 2 minutes. Check in was friendly and efficient. Because we were staying 6 nights and wanted some cupboard space we upgraded ourselves from the 'standard' room (small, but perfectly acceptable for a night or two) to a 'superior relaxation room' which had a great view over Tokyo Bay and was considerably larger with room for a sofa and table. The cost for this was very reasonable. There is a simple but adequate breakfast included, a free computer room downstairs and terrific transport links very near the hotel. The surrounding buildings house coffee shops and lunchtime restaurants, but as the area is mainly a business centre, it can feel a little quiet at night. Very easy to visit the Fish Market & Science Museum from here.

Room Tip: There are smoking rooms available.

“Really lovely hotel, easy access to the City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks and I think the location was truly wonderful. It is a 2 minute walk from the Yurikamome line and Oedo line and less than 10 minutes walk above or below ground to Shimbashi station where to can use the JR line, if you're really lazy you ca get the Yurikamome from the hotel to Shimbashi!

We stayed in a standard double room on the 5th floor, the room was large by Tokyo standards, bed was comfortable and the black out 'curtain' was brilliant. Internet is wired but free and there is a fair sized fridge in the room. Cleanliness wise the room and hotel were spotless, my only small qualm about the room is that there was no iron. There are laundry rooms on the even numbered floors but they didn't have irons either.

I saw another review saying that the railway lines are very noisy, our room faced these and I don't think I heard a train once!

Breakfast is basic but good, it's self service and each day there was always bread, soup, miso, rice, eggs, sausages, cereal and salad. Along with hot and cold drinks. There was a lack of variety but I really cannot complain!

All in all I would say that if you can live without an iron there isn't a better hotel for location in Tokyo and we were well looked after during our stay. If I return to Tokyo again I will definitely stay here.

“Love the hotel. Clean and Modern + Free Internet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

This hotel was recommended by one of our friend because it gives a very easy access to Tokyo Big Sight where we had to go for work. It is located very close to Shiodome station, Yurikamome line and Oedo line. However, it is a bit far if you want to go to Ginza or use JR train, Ginza subway line or Asakusa line, especially if you come with big luggage from Narita airport by Narita Express, it will be much better to take taxi from Tokyo Station to this hotel. All those subway lines are linked but it's miles away to walk from Shimbashi station to the hotel.

We booked Lady's Superior Room and staff was very nice to give us an upgrade to the Premium room since we stayed there for over a week. Our room is on 6th Floor and very spacious. I think it must be approx. 20 - 23 SQM. There is a LAN internet connection, Foot Massage machine set up in the room . Amenities in the bathroom is brilliant. We enjoyed very much using Shiseido Shampoo and Conditioner. Don't expect any WiFi Internet in this hotel but you can find free WiFi spot near the Panasonic Living Showroom which is located nearby. The hotel does not stock mini bar items. There is vending machine & washing machine provided on each floor. There is also vending machine for hot food provided on some floor.

Breakfast is not exactly what I expected. The breakfast area & atmosphere is similar to the canteen. The style of egg is changed daily but everything else remains the same everyday. Not much variety, just enough to keep us going till lunch.

Overall I still think there is more plus side than minus and my friend and I love it here. The stay was really pleasant.

Room Tip: Lead in room type seems very small and smoking room. Try premium room for more comfortable stay
