It feels like a Four Seasons, but it's always missing something.
I originally wanted to stay at the Four Seasons Otemachi, but the price suddenly went up, so I thought I'd try Marunouchi.
**Location**: Extremely convenient. A few hundred meters to the left, without even a traffic light, is Tokyo Station, which is great for JR lines and has the Narita Express and buses for airport access. However, the subway is a bit further; Kyobashi is close, but the Marunouchi Line requires walking through an underground passage under Tokyo Station, which is a slight hassle. On the bright side, Ginza is very close, just a short walk to the right from the hotel.
**Features**: Railway view. Twenty-something tracks are spread out below. I requested a high-floor room (6F). Because the Shinkansen switches tracks here, you can still hear a bit of noise. However, the hotel doesn't allow windows to be opened, so if you're okay with white noise, it can even help you sleep. The Shinkansen stops operating after midnight.
**Service**: Four Seasons standard. The app's response speed is a bit slow. There was a difference in housekeeping; one housekeeper was quite sloppy initially, but it improved in the following days.
**Hardware**: Room 605 had an issue with the shower water temperature; it was scalding hot. After maintenance, it turned cold but still couldn't be adjusted. I didn't bother contacting the front desk again; being cold is more acceptable. I'd say the hardware definitely has its shortcomings. The doors close very loudly, and you can hear it clearly through the room. If neighbors are frequently going in and out, it can be noisy, and sometimes I noticed it was staff cleaning rooms causing the door sounds.
Aside from the good location, there aren't many other advantages. The view is also just okay, and currently, there's construction to the north and east. The north side is across the street, but rooms on the east side are right next to the construction site.
