Hotel Monterey Ginza

Traveling with my 16-year-old son, we booked connecting rooms, which actually meant two adjacent double rooms with an open connecting door. Ginza is notoriously expensive, so the rooms were indeed small, but the location was excellent. Being in 'Icchome,' we could easily stroll down Ginza Dori from there. The front desk offered a good variety of complimentary toiletries, which was a nice touch.

We booked a triple room, and it was very spacious. The hotel facilities were complete, the service was excellent, and the transportation was also very convenient.

As many reviews mention, it's an older hotel but well-maintained. All the staff were friendly, and having a Korean-speaking staff member made check-in/out very convenient. Storing luggage before check-in and after check-out was also hassle-free and convenient. Its location in Ginza makes getting around generally easy, but it's a bit of a walk from the nearest station, which could be challenging in midsummer. So, the location seems somewhat weather-dependent.

This hotel has a classic, old-money vibe. Check-in was smooth, and the service was good; you can even help yourself to some toiletries upon arrival. But the best part is definitely the location! The subway station and two convenience stores are right outside, and there are tons of great food options downstairs – you can't go wrong with any of them.

The hotel is really beautiful, the exterior is great overall. However, the room is quite small. If you're used to hotels in China, this might take some getting used to. Once you open your suitcase, there's no space left to walk to the bathroom. On the plus side, the room has a Refa hairdryer, and the front desk offers you a selection of facial masks and steam eye masks upon check-in.

I stayed here twice during this trip. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around and dining. The front desk staff were also very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

My child had allergic rashes throughout the trip, and I initially thought it was due to something they ate. After returning home, an allergy test revealed it was a dust mite allergy. The problem is, we haven't had this issue at other hotels. How dirty must a place be to cause a dust mite allergy?

My wife and I stayed on the 12th floor for 3 days. We used twin beds and had a comfortable stay. We also enjoyed a decent buffet breakfast. The location in Ginza was great, with easy access to the subway.
