This hotel is in central Tokyo, yet in a really quiet neighbourhood. I was here for work, and this hotel is close to Japanese government buildings and a number of embassies, so the location worked for me. However, I would say if you are here to see and be surrounded by the vibrant city that is Tokyo, some other neighbourhoods might be better (depending, of course, of what you like). That said, it is not poorly connected, although there are areas easier to get to. There is a tube station (Hanzomon / 半蔵門, on the line of the same name) just seconds from the entrance to the hotel. That tube line may connect to some of the busy areas, such as Shibuya, but if coming on the train from Narita into Tokyo station, or on the monorail from Haneda into Hamamatsucho station, it's probably easier to take taxis from those stations onto the hotel, rather than navigate the tube network with suitcases. It was perhaps a 10-15 minutes in the taxi from the end of the monorail line that comes from Haneda airport; Tokyo station would be under ten minutes by taxi. The hotel itself was comfortable enough. The reception desk was on the ground floor, and staff could speak English. The room was small but decent quality, so good value from my perspective. Plus whilst large rooms do exist in Tokyo, they tend to be in really high end establishments (and so have a hefty price tag). I stayed just as Covid-19 was becoming the global issue it now is, and they were very good at cleaning and providing sanitiser and the like. Breakfast was good. At the time I was there, it was served as a wide-ranging buffet, but I know many places currently don't do that for public health reasons. You did have to pay for breakfast in advance, booking it at reception and then going through, rather than going in and giving your room number. Given the dining hall was off the lobby, that wasn't a major hardship. I mentioned the area not being in the beating heart of Tokyo. Being Japan, there were some convenience stores within yards of the place (and these open 24 hours a day and sell a wide range of food, drink and other items). There were a modest number of well priced restaurants, but this is not a busy area; many of these only opened for lunch and in the evening, rather than being open all day. For joggers, it's a good area in that Tokyo's most famous jogging route (around the moat of the Imperial Palace, 5km per lap) is very close. The etiquette is to go around clockwise, but it you are out at 6am, it's quiet enough to go whichever way. By 7am, it's busier so best to run with the flow (the attached map has a blue cross on, which is roughly where the hotel is... not far from the route at all). Would I stay here again? Probably, especially if I was here for work. It is comfortable and well maintained. As a couple or with family? Possibly, although when visiting Tokyo on holiday, we usually prefer to be in a slightly more lively or connected area (although price and level of service were good, so who knows?).…
