Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier / Tokyo

Underground link to Ginza Line & Hanzomon Line. Many Restaurants and Cafevopen 7am to 930pm last order for food & drinks.

The size of the rooms in the hotel description is overstated. You will be put in a closet smaller than Harry Potter's closet. And with a low ceiling. And they won't let you into the bathhouse if you have tattoos. I didn't like the experience, I had a better opinion of this chain.

Hotel is located on the 9th level upwards of OVOL building in NIHONBASHI. There is a direct connection to the Shin NIHONBASHI station from B1. It is also walking distance from Mitsukoshimae station and Kanda stations (links to different lines to different places). Located in office area Pros: Quieter location but fairly well connected. 2 convenience stalls in walking distance Lots of food at the Coredo malls (but generally higher end) Toho cinema at Coredo too Good service even via email in English Smooth check in Small Onsen with no outdoor bath and no cool pool Near Mitsukoshi mall Can walk to the imperial eastern gardens Breakfast buffet consists of small plates of Japanese food which is unusual 2 kinds of pillows provided Cons: Not near main shopping areas No cheaper eats around No gym No towels in Onsen Breakfast menu is not varied Conclusion Higher cost hotel with onsen in a less touristy part of town

Good location. Friendly staff. Only downside was that the restaurant was a bit crowded during breakfast time and we needed to wait for 20 minutes or so to get in.

Right next to Mitsukoshimae Metro station and directly opposite Coredo and Mitsukoshi shopping malls, there's nothing not to like about its location. Checking in in the afternoon, we were pleasantly surprised by a live koto performance and kimono-clad staff at the reception lounge. No baths in our rooms but there's a public bath on the 9th floor (which is also the reception floor). Public bath is well-maintained but could get a tad crowded in the evenings. Loved the overall calming ambience of the classic interiors.

Hotel is clean and sufficient for short stay. Rooms are a little small but location is excellent. Train station is just 1 min walk via exit A10 and this ginza line connects to main areas like shibuya so it is extremely convenient. 7/11 is just right below the hotel. Only problem is service, the staff speak minimal english so there are communication problems. Also, we tried borrowing a weighing scale for days and they seem to be unable to find any (claims it is rented to other guest who refused to return), but we also find it very ridiculous that such a big hotel has no weighing scale. Check in is also super strict, do not even expect them to allow you to check in 1 minute early. We arrived at 2.30 but they insisted we wait till 3pm so there were lots of people cluttered at the hotel lobby area.
