Hotel New Otani Tokyo Garden Tower

9.4/10Amazing750 Reviews

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from city center

This is the hotel I always stay at whenever I visit Tokyo, and it never disappoints. The location is fantastic. Since the Prince Hotel is right across the street, there are plenty of excellent restaurants and dining options nearby, which is a huge plus. Transportation is also incredibly convenient. Moving to major districts like Shinjuku, Ginza, and Shibuya by train/subway is fast and easy. If you are looking for a central base in Tokyo with great food and accessibility, I highly recommend staying here.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.49km from city center

The hotel's location is excellent. It's a ten-minute walk from Shimbashi subway station and a five-minute walk to Ginza. Downstairs, there are Lawson, FamilyMart, and 7-Eleven convenience stores. Shimbashi subway station is incredibly convenient, with direct subway lines to Haneda Airport, Narita Airport, and Kamakura. Getting to Disney is also easy, requiring just one transfer at Tokyo Station.

Imperial Hotel, Tokyo

9.6/10Amazing2016 Reviews

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center

The service here truly embodies the 'old money' style, especially from the older gentlemen. They provide that incredibly polite, Japanese-style service, and even if they don't speak English, a simple gesture is enough for them to understand your needs (something I also experienced at hotels in Japan). The younger staff, however, are not quite on the same level. There are three restaurants: American, Japanese, and a buffet. The buffet is always crowded, so I recommend trying the American or Japanese restaurants instead. The service is excellent, the food is exquisite, and the portions are smaller, which is perfect for us older folks. Staying in the main building is very convenient; a taxi to Takashimaya for shopping is around 1400 JPY, great for those who prefer one-stop shopping at a department store without getting tired. A taxi from Haneda Airport to the hotel is about 8000 JPY – Tokyo's subway lines are too complex unless you have a lot of stamina. Despite Tokyo being bustling, if you avoid peak hours, taxis usually don't get stuck in traffic. We stayed for four nights and received turn-down service every evening, which felt a bit environmentally unfriendly (they change all the towels and crockery again during turn-down). You can press the 'Do Not Disturb' button by the door if you prefer not to have it. If you have an early morning flight, you can exchange your room card for biscuits or chocolates at the first-floor cake shop the night before – this is something they inform you about upon check-in. Overall, their attention to service detail is far superior to the Imperial Hotel in Osaka. Many local 'old money' patrons stay here, and there are always newlyweds taking wedding photos in the lobby. Despite the high traffic, the service is busy but never chaotic; everyone entering is promptly attended to. If you're here for leisure, a stroll through Hibiya Park, the government office area, or the Imperial Palace grounds is very pleasant. (All photos are of the hotel interior.)

Our overall experience at the hotel was excellent. They tried their best to accommodate all our requests before check-in, such as a quiet, non-smoking room near the elevator. As soon as we got out of the car, staff came to help with our luggage and took it directly to our room. For all 8 days of our stay, the room was cleaned impeccably every day. The view of Tokyo Bay from the window was stunning. What truly stood out was how seriously and incredibly quickly the customer service team responded to our calls for deliveries, always completing our requests promptly.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.31km from city center

Honestly, aside from the price, this hotel has no flaws. It has its own natural hot spring, free to use after 3 PM as long as you follow the communal bathing rules. After a thorough rinse, you can enjoy a relaxing soak. From 5 PM onwards, there's even complimentary alcohol served on the first floor. Every day, you can choose free pajamas and pillows, with various softness and firmness options available. There's an ice machine on each floor, where you can also get iced water. Fresh and clean bath towels and other linens are provided daily. The service is incredibly attentive and meticulous. Every time you leave, someone at the front desk wishes you a safe journey. When checking out, someone at the door will open it, bow, and wish you a safe trip. Downstairs, there's a ramen shop open until 4 AM, so even if you miss dinner sometimes, you're in the central Ginza area, with countless restaurants open until the early hours just a few steps away. The K S Higashi-Ginza Station is right at the doorstep. Across the street is the Higashi-Ginza Line of the Hibiya Line, and just one more street over is the Ginza Station of the Ginza Line, making transportation extremely convenient.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.84km from city center

The hotel's location was excellent, and the rooms were very spacious, exceeding my expectations. The hotel was immaculately clean, truly spotless. Each floor has six rooms that share a common lounge area. After each use, staff would come to clean it thoroughly, restoring it to its pristine condition, which was incredibly thoughtful. Every staff member at the hotel was extremely kind and friendly. I particularly loved the rooftop hot spring; after a soak, they even provided ice-cold milk, which was a lovely touch. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|2.06km from city center

My stay at VIA INN PRIME Nihonbashi Ningyocho was quite good overall. The location is very convenient, close to Ningyocho Station, making it easy to get to Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Ueno. There are also many convenience stores and small restaurants nearby, and it's quiet at night when you return. The room, while not large, was very clean and well-arranged. A pleasant surprise was being able to see the Tokyo Skytree from my window; seeing it lit up at night always brightened my mood, which was a nice little bonus. The bed was comfortable, and the soundproofing was better than expected, so I slept soundly. The only minor drawback was the 10 AM check-out time, which felt a bit early and made the morning feel rushed. However, the front desk check-out process was very quick and efficient. Overall, it's a practical and hassle-free hotel to stay in, with a great location and good value for money. If I'm ever in central Tokyo again, this would definitely be a place I'd consider rebooking.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.36km from city center

The hotel was better than expected. Although the room was only 16 square meters, it didn't feel cramped at all for two people. I left a note asking for an upgrade to a higher floor, and they put us on the 11th floor, which was great. The hotel's location is excellent, just about a 5-minute walk from the Higashi-Ginza exit. It's also super convenient for getting to Ginza itself. However, the subway exit has stairs, so it's best to use the escalator on the opposite side, near the Kabuki-za. What impressed me most was the breakfast, which offered three different bento boxes daily: Yamakai smoke (Mountain, Sea, Smoke). The ”Mountain” was a chicken cutlet bento, the ”Sea” was a salmon bento, and the ”Smoke” was a tempura bento. My personal favorite was the salmon bento. It seemed like the ingredients came fresh from the Tsukiji Market. Of course, if you're not keen on bento, it's very easy to walk to Tsukiji Market from here.

The room was spacious with a high floor and great views. The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk from Suidobashi subway station, and only two stops from Akihabara. There's a limousine bus stop right outside for both airports. Plus, there's a Don Quijote just a 5-minute walk away, and a very affordable food court next to the Tokyo Dome. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo, especially if the price remains this good! 😄

The hotel is conveniently located near several subway stations, with Akabanebashi Station being the closest. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking service, and we were assisted by Mr. Fu, who was incredibly warm and attentive. Other staff members were also very friendly and proactive, making us feel right at home. Our room on the 27th floor had a partial view of Tokyo Tower, which was stunning from day to night, offering a very open and expansive view. Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple are right next to the hotel, perfect for a stroll. The room itself was very spacious and well-equipped, with a separate shower and bathtub. There's a supermarket and a gym on the hotel's B2 level. We booked a room that included complimentary access to the executive club lounge, which was excellent value. We enjoyed food and drinks from afternoon check-in until 9:30 PM, and several of the wines were superb. For breakfast the next day, I recommend going early as the Japanese set is limited and runs out quickly. We were lucky enough to get the last two!

Akasaka Tokyo|2.21km from city center

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.

Hilton Tokyo Odaiba

9.1/10Great933 Reviews

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from city center

Good service, but maintenance and consistency could be improved. I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. While the overall service and location are good, a few details made the experience fall short of true 5-star standards. Pros: • The washroom is spacious and clean, with strong shower pressure that feels great after a long day out. • The anti-slip mat is a thoughtful touch since the bathtub can get slippery. • Toiletries and body lotion are of decent quality. • The in-room iron is convenient, no need to request one. • The room includes a small balcony and is non-smoking friendly. • The complimentary slippers are comfortable and well-made. • Staff are polite and helpful throughout my stay. Cons: • The bathroom mirror fogs up completely after showering — it would be great if anti-fog mirrors were installed. • My room key card was disabled after the first night, requiring a trip to the front desk for reactivation. • The cupboard doors are old and difficult to open, making noticeable noise. • Breakfast is decent but repetitive. During peak times, guests were directed to a temporary seating area where food wasn’t replenished promptly. • After housekeeping, my used towels were removed but not replaced. • The carpet feels dusty, suggesting it could use a deep clean or refresh. Overall: The staff are courteous and professional, and the basic comfort level is good. However, for a 5-star hotel, the property feels a little dated and service consistency needs improvement. With some attention to maintenance and small operational details, this could easily become a much better experience.

Very expensive for what you get. Our room was 12sqm and bathroom 2m x 1m - and the rate was twice the price of our Ginza accommodation which was significantly better and was in the heart of Ginza. There was no water in the room and you had to fill up a water bottle from a dispenser on a different floor, waiting 10min for the lift to arrive The onsen was good and the staff were very very attentive, but unfortunately didn’t make up for how disappointing the room was.

Odaiba Tokyo|4.46km from city center

Cleanliness: No issues. Ambiance: I had a room with a view of Ariake Arena, which was generally nice. The bedroom is right as you enter, so all bedrooms are quite spacious. The bathroom is at the very back. If you don't like the bed being right by the entrance, you might want to avoid this. Also, the bedroom doesn't get much natural light because the bathroom is on the outside with a window (a transparent glass bathroom). Service: If you're coming to the hotel from outside the building, there are absolutely no signs, elevators, or escalators to get to the hotel lobby on the 2nd floor. You have to carry your luggage up the stairs to reach the hotel's main entrance. It's hard to imagine a hotel of this caliber having such an arrangement. Facilities: It's hard to believe that a hotel at this price point and level doesn't come standard with a bathtub. To clarify a misconception: no room in this hotel offers a direct view of Big Sight.

Hygiene: The toilet had a strong urine smell, which I quickly got Ctrip customer service to resolve. We got two hot spring tickets with our stay, but you had to pay for towels or bring them from your room. There were several hot spring pools, both indoor and outdoor, but they were too crowded and didn't feel very hygienic.

Meguro River

Japan looks perfect. But that's precisely why it seems like everything will be easy. It won't. Here are the mistakes I made that really cost me time, money, and stress. 1. I PUT TOO MANY POINTS A DAY I wanted to see everything. As a result, there were the subway, the underground passages, the lines, and the constant feeling of being late. Better this way: - 2-3 key points and lots of walking in between. 2. I WENT TO HYPE PLACES DURING RUSH HOUR Fushimi Inari, Shibuya, TeamLab, Kiyomizudera. I thought it would be beautiful during the day. In reality, there were crowds and noise. Morning in Japan is everything. Start your day as early as possible. You'll have time to sleep at home. 3. I STOOD IN LINE AT RESTAURANTS An hour and a half for "that ramen." Even three hours once. In the rain! However, it later turned out that the food in the next alley was tastier and less crowded. Don't run after TikTok spots or hyped-up cafes; it's not worth it. If you really want to go, make it the first place in the morning. Arrive 20 minutes before opening. 4. I OVERLOADED THE DAY WITH TRAVELING One day Asakusa then Shibuya then Ginza then Shinjuku And in fact, I spent more time sitting on the subway than walking. This is the most common trap in Tokyo. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I tried to fill the day with things to see inside the building. But this constant traveling ruined the Tokyo experience. 5. I DIDN'T TAKE CASH Small cafes, markets, temples, sometimes even buses—not all accept cards. And instead of walking, I ran around looking for an ATM. + another stupid mistake: I DIDN'T CONSIDER THAT THERE ARE ALMOST NO TRASH CANS You buy a coffee or a snack. And then you carry the packaging with you for half a day because trash cans are rare. Life hack: always have a small bag in your bag. And a large bag! Preferably a lightweight one; my shoulders hurt terribly after my beautiful, but leather ones. 📌 Japan is not a complicated country. But it's not about spontaneity. It's about rhythm, timing, and the little rules that determine comfort. 🔖 Hashtags #JapanTravel #TokyoTrip #KyotoTrip #JapanTips #JapanMistakes #TravelJapan #TripMoments

Asakusa

This area is home to the famous Asakusa Temple in Tokyo, a popular spot for tourists. The street leading up to the temple is lined with a variety of restaurants and snack shops, and you can explore many alleys as well. It's a great place to take photos along the way. We came across a Sanrio store with a large Kitty decoration at the front—it's absolutely adorable! Personally, I really love this area. It's perfect for a leisurely stroll after visiting the temple.

📍Crepes, Espresso, and Freestyle Hours 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM (or until dough runs out) 📮Address 2-9-6 Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo Luz Jiyugaoka 1F 🚃Access Tokyu Toyoko Line/Oimachi Line About a 3-minute walk from the north exit of Jiyugaoka Station [Japan's Only Dubai Chocolate Crepes] I can't forget the crunchy texture of the authentic Dubai chocolate. I visited this shop in search of the only Dubai chocolate crepe in Japan. 🍫 This popular crepe shop in Tokyo is gaining attention on social media. 🍫Dubai Chocolate Melt ¥1,800 First, the handmade Dubai chocolate on top. The amount of pistachio paste is a little on the light side. But the chocolate flavor is incredibly rich and impressive. ✨ The kadaif was solid, and while it was close to the real thing in terms of thinness, it wasn't very crunchy... The pistachio flavor was also slightly weaker than the real thing. In conclusion, It's nothing like real Dubai chocolate 🍃 However, the crepes themselves were very well-made and honestly, incredibly delicious! The crust was crisp and fragrant, and they apparently pay special attention to the baking time 👨🏻🍳 It was the perfect crispy crust I was really looking for...!! #Tokyo

Taito Station Ueno Ameyoko

🥩 Randomly picked Yakiniku restaurant at Ameyoko Market Various price options available. We chose the 4,500 yen option for 2 hours of dining. 🍻🍺 Add 500 yen for drinks. 📲 Order food via tablet. Food arrives very quickly, so it's recommended to order gradually. The beef is excellent—tender, sweet, and absolutely worth the price! 🥬 Plenty of side dishes available. 🥗 Highly recommend the kimchi; it pairs perfectly and isn't greasy at all. This Japanese-style yakiniku grill restaurant is located in the heart of Ameyoko, within walking distance from JR Okachimachi or Ueno Station. ⏰ Open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
