The environment is very clean, and the bedding is super comfortable. It's really convenient to pick up toiletries downstairs. Although the room is small, it has everything you need. We chose this hotel because my partner smokes, and it's one of the few smoking rooms available in Tokyo. The location is, of course, incredibly convenient. We booked a car for 10 days, but didn't use it at all for two days because we were shopping in Ginza. We paid a higher price than usual, but the location and comfort are excellent, and the room is clean. I'll definitely stay here again.

I really like these luxury hotels that, despite being old, are still well-maintained. I booked a tower room, and after check-in, it was quite a walk to get there, but a staff member helped with my luggage and brought it to the room. I've stayed at the Imperial Hotel Osaka before, and the service and decor style are consistently similar. On the second day, a floor lamp in my room was accidentally damaged, but it was quickly replaced with a new one, and I wasn't charged for it. The breakfast options are extensive; I only tried the buffet and the Western set menu, and both were very satisfying.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making check-in smooth and ensuring we had everything we needed. Our child enjoyed the nearby attractions, and it made exploring Tokyo so convenient for the whole family. Overall, a great experience and a hotel we would happily return to on our next trip to Tokyo.

It's a good hotel with an excellent location and convenient transportation. The only downside was finding out upon arrival that an additional 15,000 yen was required for a tower view room! We ended up paying the extra fee to upgrade anyway. The front desk staff were professional but lacked a bit of warmth, which could be improved.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.29km dari pusat bandar
The location was very convenient and really close to major metro lines . The view from the high floor was nice especially for watching the sunset. As others have posted the room was really small. If you stay more then two days you will need to close your suitcase and organize your things when housekeeping comes. Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get very far into the room. The water filer and ice machine on the room floor was really helpful especially when going out for the day with the July heat. The room was not so clean. When I went to use the humidifier it was covered in dust which set off my allergies. Also one of the walls had water damage.There was also a badly done patch on the corner of the wall. The lack of more than one outlet next the bed was annoying, especially when the provided charger didn’t work. One of the reasons I booked was the “lounge”. It was quite disappointing. It was loud in the room and it was right next to a smoking room. The available beverages were not that great. I don’t drink coffee and the juice was so sugary. One more thing that was a little annoying, but not necessarily a negative was housekeeping giving me new towels everyday even though I never put used towels outside with my trashcan in the morning. I stayed less than a week so I was fine using the two provided towels, so I had two bags of new towels sitting on my floor until housekeeping cleaned my room.

This hotel *absolutely* won't let guests sleep! The hotel *insists* on room cleaning between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. If you don't comply, they'll call your room repeatedly and staff will even come knocking on your door to hassle you! They simply won't let you get any rest! I work nights and need to sleep past midday. However, the staff here showed *no understanding* whatsoever! After decades of staying in hotels, this is the *first time* I've encountered such an issue! That 'Do Not Disturb' sign (pictured in Fig 3) is completely useless, as they *insist* on coming in to inspect the room themselves! If you cannot leave your room before noon for them to clean, *do not* choose this hotel! What's more, right from check-in, I found the hotel wasn't clean! There were numerous unidentified items on the floor – I would have done a better job cleaning it myself!

This hotel, built in 1964, is truly iconic with a very luxurious exterior, and it's just a five-minute walk from Tokyo Tower. Although the interiors have been renovated, you can clearly tell the facilities are a bit dated, especially the bathroom. It's much smaller than the room and only has a bathtub, no separate shower, which I wasn't too fond of. We were upgraded to a room with a Tokyo Tower view, and opening the curtains to that beautiful scenery immediately brightened my mood. However, to be honest, aside from being close to Tokyo Tower, the public transport links aren't very convenient. It's about a 7-8 minute walk to the nearest subway station and a 15-minute walk to the nearest JR station.

Good service led by Hosoya san, who has been really helpful in queries and assistance when needed. Self-serve laundry and dryer service, 2 units each, which gets really busy with guests. There's a common guest area we can help ourselves to coffee, and guests are okay to consume their takeout or packed food from outside. All else can't find any fault...and plus point room window can be opened for slight ventilation.

The hotel offers a pillow menu, complimentary pajamas, and a daily onsen (hot spring bath), meaning you don't have to squeeze into a tiny in-room shower. These thoughtful amenities alone make it a truly worthwhile choice! In the evenings, there's a complimentary welcome bar offering a variety of drinks to sample at your leisure, which definitely adds a fun touch to your trip.

The room was nice, the bathroom was clean, and in the lobby there’s complimentary coffee, lemon water, and a few other drinks (I don’t quite remember 🫣).

We stayed in the twin room, which was slightly bigger than the other rooms and allowed us more space to move around. Self check-in and check-out via the counter machines but staff were present to assist whenever required. Check-in timing is strictly at 2pm, however you can store your luaugge with the hotel. Area around the hotel is quieter in the day time as the area seems to be more night-life catered (clubs/pubs around). Plenty of food options around. Overall a decent stay.
