Stayed at the New Otani Makahuri for an event. Good standard overall, comfortable rooms, (although no wireless Internet in bedrooms - tsk, tsk!), good service. If you are coming to Japan for a vacation, avoid this hotel though! It is very beige and slightly frumpy. The surrounding area is rather sterile and depressing. More

For a hotel in Japan this property has pretty spacious rooms. Two double beds, a sitting area with love seat, coffee table and chair plus a desk ... can't forget the wet bar area .. and still room to walk around! With covered walk ways to Makuhari Messe, JR station and the outlet mall, perfect location if your in town... More

I need to admit I am not a great fan of generic, large, beige hotels, this is one of those. I am on business so its easy to find yourself in these characterless places. Having said that the staff here are flawlessly helpful, the rooms are fairly standard really (I paid a standard rate) nothing jazzy or out of the... More

The service, as one would expect from a High-Class Japanese hotel, is impeccable. The staff are very friendly and anxious to please, although their English may not always be the best. This is however, made up for in zeal and politeness. The rooms are small, typically for Tokyo, and a little dated and plain. However, everything works beautifully and is... More

I stayed at this hotel (my first time) for a week on business trip. Hotel is so convenient - just 5min walk from the KaihimMakuhari train station (20min to Tokyo Disney Resort; and it's only 40min to Tokyo Narita Airport by bus!). Hotel also offered free shuttle bus (round trip) to Tokyo Disney Resort every day. I like the 'opera'... More

I stayed here as a solo woman business traveler. The hotel is within easy walking distance to the many high-rise office buildings baseid Makuhari. My room (the basic one - no upgrade) was reasonably sized and very clean. The window coverings include an electric roll-down shade that is controlled by a button on the wall, plus sliding screens. When both... More

I went to Chiba with my husband because he had a conference there. The conference was held in the hotel. When we arrived we were quite hungry as we had been travelling from the day before (we come from Malta) so we decided to have dinner at one of the restaurants at the hotel. It was raining heavily and decided... More

We had exactly the same experience regarding assignment of a non-smoking room as described in another review. We booked a non-smoking room but were told on arrival that none were available. Two receptionists insisted that the smell of smoke had been removed and that we should try the assigned room. Since the room was in a smoking floor we declined... More

Booked myself in the New Otani as I was going to see Iron Maiden at Makuhari Messe. It was a toss up between this and staying in Tokyo itself - but this way no problem finding the venue! Should you be going to attend a trade show etc at Makuhari Messe this hotel is pretty hard to beat as its... More
