This was my second stay at the station hotel, and it's incredibly convenient for transit. Upon arrival at Tokyo Station, you can walk towards the Marunouchi South Exit where a small door directly accesses the hotel, so you don't even need to go outside. This time, I booked the hotel's basic 36-square-meter room. The room had a peculiar smell, which I suspect might have been due to the humidity during the rainy season, making my stay feel uncomfortable. The room's location wasn't ideal either; it overlooked some equipment with absolutely no view. The 40-square-meter room type I stayed in before was much better. However, the hotel service and breakfast were, as always, excellent.

This hotel is located right next to Tokyo Station, which makes it extremely convenient. It’s also very close to the car rental return location, and there is a direct train to the airport, making it perfect for early morning departures. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathtub and shower areas were clearly separated, which was very convenient. It felt more like a serviced apartment than a typical hotel room, as it came fully equipped with kitchen appliances, a washing machine, and even a dining table inside the room. Personally, I chose this hotel because I needed to return the rental car and catch an early flight the next morning. The location made everything very easy and stress-free. The hotel is also close to large shopping malls and there are plenty of food options nearby.

Spacious room and bathroom for one person. Great view of Tokyo Station and the trains coming and going. Quiet room but if you are bothered by train noises, you may want to request room on the Marunouchi side of the hotel. Staff were friendly amd helpful, giving me detailed info on the airport bus upoj request. Hotel laundry was also returned promptly.

This hotel is conveniently located right next to Tokyo Station and a luxury shopping mall, making it super easy to get around and shop. The hotel entrance and lobby are a bit small, so you really have to look for it. If your room faces the central station, you might get some noise, even on higher floors. The staff are very welcoming, and there are even some who speak Chinese, providing professional and friendly service. Both the Italian and Japanese restaurants are excellent, though you'll need reservations. The turndown service also comes with unique little snacks, which is a nice touch. This is my second time staying here, and I still think it's well worth it.

The experience staying at Bvlgari Tokyo was superb, beautiful people, fantastic service, shopping mall is right downstairs, within walking distance to Ginza and the train station. The guest room is beautifully designed, amenities were overwhelming. Breakfast was fantastic and well presented, must try the swimming pool.
