Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.49km from downtown
Location of the hotel is excellent and is within close proximity to major establishments/shopping areas in the Ginza area. There is a convenient store (”Natural Lawson”) on the ground floor of the building.
I booked the Standard Room with Queen Bed as I was worried that the Standard Room with Single Bed would be too cramped. I'm glad I made that decision. At about 20sq.m., the room is spacious and comfortable enough for one person but may be slightly cramped for a couple. Then again, hotel rooms in Japan tend to be small in general. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the amenities were sufficient. The lobby of the hotel is located on the 16/F of the building, and the guestrooms are located from 17/F up, so you get a very nice view of the Ginza area.
I didn't try the breakfast on this trip, but I've heard nice things about that. Will definitely try that next time.

Suidobashi/Ochanomizu Tokyo|3.75km from downtown
I booked an Executive Floor room, which granted me complimentary access to the Executive Lounge. The city night view from there was absolutely stunning, a truly pleasant surprise! Another unexpected bonus was the free mini-bar in the room, stocked with beer, wine, and soft drinks. The Western breakfast on the 37th floor was à la carte and of excellent quality, and I thoroughly enjoyed the views while having breakfast. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Tokyo.FromJPY 11,961

Shinjuku/Nakano Tokyo|6.73km from downtown
The hotel definitely has a lot of history. Especially the South Wing where I stayed, the room had a 2000s guesthouse vibe. It was quite cramped for a family of three; with our luggage open, there was barely any space to move, so it was good we only stayed one night. There were many hotel staff, and check-in was very fast. There are plenty of convenience stores and coffee shops nearby, and it's a convenient 10-minute walk to Shinjuku Station.FromJPY 35,468

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.35km from downtown
The hotel's location is superb, right next to Otemachi Station and Tokyo Station, connected by an underground passage. The Starbucks and chocolate shop on the first floor of the adjacent OAZO building are both good. It was a slight disappointment that the drug store wasn't open on the weekend, so I couldn't buy anything. There are a variety of restaurants upstairs; I had some delicious grilled eel rice, and the white asparagus, one of the two appetizers I added, was particularly tasty. Back to the hotel: if you plan to eat any meals, be sure to check the opening and last order times on the signs at the entrance. For instance, the Japanese breakfast on the 7th floor has a last order at 9:30 AM, and they won't serve you if you're late. Western breakfast is on the 8th floor, and takeout isn't allowed, though they did let me take two drinks back to my room after some discussion; food takeout isn't permitted for safety reasons. The room facilities are comprehensive and very clean. The slippers are comfortable, and the body lotion is excellent. The showerhead is great, and the bed is very comfortable too. In short, besides being a bit pricey, there are no complaints. The last picture shows the view of Tokyo Station from the elevator leading to the 7th-floor front desk.FromJPY 52,047

Odaiba Tokyo|4.87km from downtown
Mid-August 2026. I wonder if it's because it rained for two or three days while we were in Tokyo, but why did no one mention how incredibly humid the room was? The duvet was damp and smelly at night, making it really uncomfortable to sleep under. Maybe the air conditioning was set incorrectly? The hotel had it on auto (heating 25 degrees Celsius), which we found too hot. We switched it to cooling 24 degrees, and then discovered the room was very damp, so we changed it to dehumidify at 24.5 degrees. There was a device on the floor that I couldn't tell if it was an air purifier, humidifier, or dehumidifier.
Location: Excellent. It takes a quick 3-minute walk to the subway. There's a 24-hour supermarket to the left when you exit Shiomi Station. A FamilyMart convenience store is right downstairs from the hotel.
Room: The size is probably quite good for Tokyo, aside from the excessive humidity I mentioned. Everything else, like the bedding, towels, and bathtub, was very satisfactory. Though I didn't use the bathtub once, haha; the large public bath on the second floor was more convenient. So, a slightly larger room without a bathtub would be more practical.
Breakfast: Not a huge variety, but the quality was excellent. We thought it was quite good, but it would be even better if they could change up the options slightly. After four days, it did get a bit repetitive~
Public Bath: The absolute best part was the large public bath on the second floor. It was spacious and very comfortable.
Overall, I was still very satisfied. I'll just avoid staying in Tokyo during the August rainy season in the future if all hotels are this humid~FromJPY 18,380

Shibuya/Aoyama/Ebisu/Meguro Tokyo|6.16km from downtown
The service was incredible. We were greeted at every turn with kindness and professionalism. Our only request would be that our 14yo mature daughter could have swam in the pool (it’s 18+ which we didn’t know until we tried to swim.) A few standouts where the hotel team went “above and beyond”: the superb cleanliness of our room, the porter and bellhop service, the concierge personally walking us down to the ballroom to ask if we could get spectator ballroom competition tickets last minute, the team allowing us to be seated us at breakfast at 10:27am when we were mistakenly told on the “express line” that it was served until 11am; and then even re-opening the omelette station for us. And finally, helping us reclaim a missing object left at our breakfast table—about 6 people jumped in to help us and saved the day! Thank you Cerulean, for the incredible stay, views, and above all, service.FromJPY 53,733

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Gracery Ginza. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.44km from downtown
The location is good, right near Ginza 2-chome. However, you have to walk about 7-8 minutes to get to any subway station, and Tokyo in the summer is incredibly hot, so you'll be sweating after just a couple of steps. Remember to protect yourself from the sun and heat!
Check-in is on the third floor, and they offer free coffee every day from 2 PM to 11 PM. The chocolate and matcha lattes are delicious.
Our two large suitcases fit and could even be laid flat in the room. The room itself was clean, hygienic, and had no strange smells. You don't need to bring toiletries as you can pick them up at the front desk. Plus, there's a Starbucks, convenience store, and a drugstore downstairs.FromJPY 25,585

The hotel is conveniently located directly across the street from Tokyo Station, making it easily accessible on foot. There are also many shops nearby for convenient shopping. I booked a room type where the window faced a very narrow alley, so the natural light was quite poor. I recommend checking this in advance when booking.FromJPY 16,325

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.3km from downtown
Very good location close to a subway station, with a nearby subway exit also having a lift, so luggage isn’t a problem. But you are better off going across the road, perhaps a 4-min walk, to the Marriott Courtyard close by where there is the airport bus stop which can take you to Haneda and Narita. Breakfast variety is limited; you can select a choice of Jap or Western Main, along with a few other buffet options. Room size is ok. Public bath’s pool is small but definitely not the smallest I have seen. Different staff to communicate with you in the usual foreign languages.FromJPY 27,016

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.68km from downtown
I absolutely have to praise this hotel! As is typical in Tokyo, the rooms are small but perfectly adequate for all your needs. The cleanliness is significantly better than what you'd find in China, by more than just a little bit. The room was cleaned daily, and there wasn't a single hair in the bathroom. But my absolute favorite part? It's right across from the subway station! I'm definitely booking this place again next time I'm in Tokyo.FromJPY 8,682

Ginza/Tsukiji/Shinbashi Tokyo|0.31km from downtown
Though small, this hotel has everything you need. Its Ginza location is incredibly convenient, perfect for shopping or quickly getting to Narita Airport via the expressway.
What truly impressed me is how many features are packed into such a compact space. They have a coin-operated laundry and a large public bath. The room, which I'd estimate at about 20 square meters, even managed to fit bunk beds (1.2m/1.5m), making it very family-friendly.
A minor point is that since the hotel is directly above the subway, you occasionally feel vibrations as trains pass. This led to a funny moment when an actual earthquake hit at night, and I initially thought it was just another train going by!FromJPY 16,418

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from downtown
The Prince Hotel has two buildings, and I booked a room in the main one. There were a lot of people checking in. I'd recommend using the self-service kiosks if you can, as it's not complicated, even in Chinese, and there's a little assistant to help you. If you're searching for your booking by name, remember to just use your first name, not your last. Breakfast is on the ground floor, and it seems like there are three restaurants. Just be sure to go early, as it gets quite crowded.FromJPY 14,201

Odaiba Tokyo|5.16km from downtown
Right by Odaiba Station, making transportation, shopping, and dining very convenient. The room was spacious with a great view; you could see the monorail from the window, but there was virtually no noise. The main downside was the outdated bathroom, which lacked a separate shower and toilet. Also, some of the staff's service quality needs improvement. I saw an impressive advertisement for the buffet and wanted to try it. When I went to the restaurant, it was empty, so I went back to the lobby to ask a staff member. They simply told me the restaurant was on the first floor. Thinking I'd gone to the wrong place, I checked again. I asked another staff member, and got a similar vague answer, completely ignoring my question about why the restaurant wasn't open. Finally, I asked a female attendant by the elevator, and only then found out that the first-floor restaurant isn't open for dinner every night. It makes you wonder what the other staff members were doing...FromJPY 26,555

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi/Akihabara/Kinshicho Tokyo|1.59km from downtown
It was 5:30 PM in Otemachi, Tokyo, and a massive halo, like a holy light, enveloped the area, reflecting the silhouette of the world's most beautiful CBD on the glass facade of Otemachi Tower. Perched atop this magnificent skyscraper, Aman Tokyo, which stunned the world a decade ago, remains an unparalleled benchmark for modern city hotels.
｜The soaring 30-meter high atrium, crafted with washi lanterns, wood textures, and concrete and rock, creates a 'dry landscape' garden in the urban clouds.
｜The view facing the Imperial Palace is arguably Tokyo's most beautiful skyline (it ruthlessly trumps the already impressive view from the neighboring Bulgari).
｜While the ambiance at Arva, the Italian restaurant on the other side of the lobby, is superb, the food wasn't to my taste. I'd recommend the Aman Cafe on the first floor, a glasshouse enveloped by the 'Otemachi Forest' oasis instead.FromJPY 302,261

I booked two rooms, and the panoramic king room was clearly superior and more comfortable. Although it only offered a partial view of the Tokyo Tower, the sunlight streaming in was very pleasant.

This hotel deserves nothing but superlatives! The decor is fantastic, the service is excellent, and the soundproofing is amazing. When we first tried to check in at 1 PM, there was an older lady with big eyes at the front desk who wasn't very friendly. However, by 3 PM when we actually checked in, a super kind and gentle man was at the front desk. He even gave us a high-floor room with a view of Tokyo Tower! Our five-day stay was incredibly comfortable. The absolute best part was the soundproofing; it was truly superb, the best I've ever experienced in any Japanese hotel.FromJPY 36,969
