Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.49km from downtown
I stayed for three nights and I think it was pretty good. It's a bit of a walk from Shimbashi Station, and the first night it was pouring rain, so it was a bit messy, but I finally made it to the hotel (they offer free umbrella rentals). The room was very clean, and I really liked that the shower and bathtub were separate. It's very close to Ginza, less than a 10-minute walk to the main street. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I have the chance.FromNZD 465

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.18km from downtown
The hotel's location is great, and other reviews have already covered it in detail. From Haneda Airport, you can take the subway directly to the hotel's nearest exit, Higashi-Ginza A1 on the Keikyu Line, which has a vertical elevator. Getting back to Haneda Airport was a bit roundabout; you need to go to platform 1 to catch the train, and it takes about thirty-something minutes to reach the airport. My husband and I were traveling with our thirteen-year-old child, and the hotel wouldn't allow us to stay in a double room; we had to book an additional room, which led to extra expenses. For the last two days, we switched to a triple room and paid the difference at the front desk. The hotel's cleanliness was acceptable. I suspect the previous occupants of our room might have been *foreigners from a specific country, as there was an unremovable body odor that made me dizzy. Due to the language barrier, I couldn't communicate this, so we just put up with it. I didn't encounter any Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk, so I don't know if they have any, even though there were indeed many Chinese guests. Breakfast was semi-buffet style, with six main options and other self-serve items. The choices were almost identical for all three mornings, and I really couldn't find anything to my taste. I regretted booking the hotel breakfast; it would have been more delicious and cost-effective to eat at a nearby cafe. This was not a good experience, so whether I'll stay here again in the future is up to fate.FromNZD 710

Tokyo Tower Tokyo|2.04km from downtown
The InterContinental Tokyo Bay is situated in an excellent, affluent area, a well-established hotel with a rich history that has undergone renovation. It now boasts comprehensive and well-maintained facilities, offering a wide range of services and amenities that cover all the essentials. The overall cleanliness is meticulously upheld, giving it a sophisticated 'old money' vibe without being overly flashy. It provides a stable and comfortable stay.
The location is a significant advantage, making it convenient to travel to the Ginza shopping district and offering smooth transportation to Haneda Airport. The room views are outstanding, with the bay scenery being a delight to behold. It's highly recommended for business travelers, especially if your budget allows; the overall experience is top-notch.FromNZD 595

Suidobashi/Ochanomizu Tokyo|3.75km from downtown
The Dome Hotel has many advantages: First, the transportation is very convenient with JR and subway stations nearby. Second, there are commercial areas all around, making dining and shopping extremely easy. Third, the rooms are spacious, located on high floors with great views, making the stay very comfortable. Fourth, the hotel is exceptionally clean; rooms are tidied and linens changed daily, the bathtub is spotless, and there are virtually no blind spots in room cleanliness. Fifth, the service is great. Both check-in and check-out are self-service, which is very convenient and time-saving, and staff are always nearby to offer prompts and assistance if you encounter any issues. The breakfast add-on is quite expensive, so we didn't dine at the hotel.FromNZD 248

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from downtown
I've stayed at the Hilton Tokyo Bay and the Hilton Osaka Umeda before, both of which were good experiences. However, the Odaiba location this time left the deepest impression. It's directly connected to the Odaiba Station on the Yurikamome Line, and with Aqua City and DiverCity Tokyo Plaza nearby, dining and shopping are incredibly convenient. From the hotel, you can see the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, and the views are stunning both day and night.FromNZD 457

Akasaka Tokyo|2.21km from downtown
Room and bed were very comfortable, immaculately clean and modern. 2 mins walk from train station, if you need lift access to train then a 6 mins walk, we had a stroller.
Breakfast was a bit of a zoo, we went during Christmas, very busy! But tables were spacious so even though there were so many people you don’t feel cramped. Good variety of food selection. We had dinner at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Delicious, especially the tuna salad.
I found the lobby staff a little lack of personality, at check in, no mentioning of where breakfast will be, what time check out is. Just checked you in and that’s it, no personal notes in the room. When I expressed I’ve lost my phone at the shop in Tokyo, no sign of empathy (it was a western male staff) no gesture of helpfulness, very cold and robotic. This goes for concierge also, he is an older western gentleman, he needs to use Google translate also which is frustrating cause I could do exactly the same research with Google translate.
Overall, hardware is solid, need to fine tune the staff, sprinkle a little bit of personality in them.FromNZD 739

Super location, even it takes around 7-9mins to station. Room is good and big size compared to other hotels in Tokyo. We booked the room for 3 ppl and still able to put the luggages around and walk. We did not try the buffet at the hotel as there are some other choices for foods. We love the laundry room with the area to lock the suitcase. Easy operation and payment.
Staffs are friendly.FromNZD 304

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.44km from downtown
Attending the Tokyo Fisheries Expo, I chose to stay at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel in Ginza, and it was an excellent experience! The hotel is clean, hygienic, and the breakfast is abundant, with delicious grilled mackerel and silver salmon. They even provide Kose Sekkisei and DHC toiletries every night, which is a nice touch! The location is incredibly convenient; you can walk to Tokyo Station and Marunouchi. From Tokyo Station, it's easy to catch a bus to Kisarazu Outlet, which is very convenient – a round trip costs just 3000 JPY and takes only 50 minutes one way.
There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, including OK Supermarket, BEAMS, MONT-BELL, PATAGONIA, SAPPORO DRAFT BLACK, Mitsukoshi, GINZA NOVO, and GINZA777, covering all your eating, drinking, playing, and shopping needs!
**Environment**: The environment is quiet with good soundproofing, ensuring a good night's sleep.
**Service**: As expected from Japanese hotels, the service was excellent, with friendly and smiling staff.
**Facilities**: All facilities were sufficient, including a microwave, ice maker, vending machines, luggage weighing scale, and coffee machine.
**Cleanliness**: Housekeeping was prompt and excellent.
Ginza itself is a fantastic area, with countless bars, cafes, Ippudo ramen, and Tonkatsu restaurants to explore. For transportation, you have the Yurakucho Line, Ginza Line, Keikyu Line, and many other options, making it quick and easy to get to Asakusa, Daikanyama, Nakameguro, Shibuya, Harajuku, Omotesando, and even a jazz cafe in Yotsuya. I will definitely stay in Ginza again next time!FromNZD 308

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.89km from downtown
The room layout was well-designed. Most hotels in Japanese city centers are quite small, but this one, though compact, had everything you could need. The service was also very attentive. Downstairs, they offer complimentary makeup remover, toner, and lotion for guests to take as needed. The location is great, very close to the subway, and there are many convenience stores nearby. You can even walk to Ginza.FromNZD 392

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.39km from downtown
The hotel is located in an alley in the city center. While the location isn't bad, it's not ideal either. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to walk to any subway station. If you take the Keikyu Line to Higashi-Ginza, exit A11, and walk straight down the alley, you'll find it. However, it might be a bit tricky to locate for the first time. It's about a ten-minute walk to Mitsukoshi Department Store and Matsuya Ginza, and walking back to the hotel with shopping can be quite tiring. The only real upside is that there's a 7-Eleven right below the hotel, which is very convenient for guests who haven't purchased the hotel breakfast. The bed in the room is perfect for one adult and one child, and since it's against the wall, you don't have to worry about a child falling off.FromNZD 298

The hotel is in a great location. If you take the bus from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station, it’s only a few minutes' walk from where you get off. The room was clean and didn't feel small at all; it felt much more spacious and less cramped compared to other hotels, offering great value for money. It’s perfect for travelers spending their first night in Tokyo.FromNZD 416

The room itself was alright, but when I arrived, the bed sheets were covered in hair. I had to ask the staff to change the linens, which was a very unpleasant experience. I was in a rush the rest of the time, but the location is good. There's a washing machine downstairs, which costs 25 RMB for a 2-hour wash and dry cycle. The breakfast was decent, better than the one at the Asakusa Onsen Hotel, with more variety.FromNZD 355

The hotel is conveniently located between Shimbashi and Ginza, just a 5-minute walk from Shimbashi Station, making dining and transportation very accessible.

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from downtown
This is my second stay at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel. After my first visit, I knew I wanted to come back. The location is incredibly convenient, whether you're coming from Haneda Airport or Narita Airport, though Narita takes a bit longer. Both times, my room offered a view of Tokyo Tower, which always brightens my mood. The room size was also quite generous for me. There are also some fantastic restaurants near the hotel; I highly recommend a ramen shop specializing in tantanmen and a Japanese-Western style restaurant.FromNZD 215

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|6.28km from downtown
This was my second stay. This time, I was initially given a room facing the train tracks. Even at 11:30 PM, the JR line outside would be noisy every 30 seconds, and it started running before dawn, which meant I didn't sleep well. I then contacted Ctrip customer service, and they helped me switch rooms, which was much better.
I also want to mention that the front desk staff during my first visit were excellent, but this time, I felt they were quite cold. I hope management can improve this, as the check-in experience is the first impression of the hotel.FromNZD 380

I went to Tokyo for a business trip, and the hotel was still great. It's quite spacious for a hotel in Japan. The breakfast was excellent, with both Japanese and Western options; I mostly stuck to the Japanese selections. The night view was stunning, and there was a good variety of drinks available. My only complaint is that the price has gone up quite a bit recently.FromNZD 604

Odaiba Tokyo|4.87km from downtown
The room was quite spacious. For its usual price of 1000+ yen, this room type is actually pretty good, and the service was also great. It's right next to Shiomi Station, making it convenient for trips to Kamakura, Disneyland, Yokohama, and Atami. However, it's a bit far from the city center. I booked this place for a game I was watching, and the price had gone up a bit for those days, so it felt a bit expensive. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied, though I wasn't really used to the Western-style breakfast, haha.FromNZD 324
