Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from city center
This is the hotel I always stay at whenever I visit Tokyo, and it never disappoints.
The location is fantastic. Since the Prince Hotel is right across the street, there are plenty of excellent restaurants and dining options nearby, which is a huge plus.
Transportation is also incredibly convenient. Moving to major districts like Shinjuku, Ginza, and Shibuya by train/subway is fast and easy. If you are looking for a central base in Tokyo with great food and accessibility, I highly recommend staying here.FromKRW 425,230

The hotel's location is excellent. It's a ten-minute walk from Shimbashi subway station and a five-minute walk to Ginza. Downstairs, there are Lawson, FamilyMart, and 7-Eleven convenience stores. Shimbashi subway station is incredibly convenient, with direct subway lines to Haneda Airport, Narita Airport, and Kamakura. Getting to Disney is also easy, requiring just one transfer at Tokyo Station.FromKRW 399,432

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center
The service here truly embodies the 'old money' style, especially from the older gentlemen. They provide that incredibly polite, Japanese-style service, and even if they don't speak English, a simple gesture is enough for them to understand your needs (something I also experienced at hotels in Japan). The younger staff, however, are not quite on the same level. There are three restaurants: American, Japanese, and a buffet. The buffet is always crowded, so I recommend trying the American or Japanese restaurants instead. The service is excellent, the food is exquisite, and the portions are smaller, which is perfect for us older folks. Staying in the main building is very convenient; a taxi to Takashimaya for shopping is around 1400 JPY, great for those who prefer one-stop shopping at a department store without getting tired. A taxi from Haneda Airport to the hotel is about 8000 JPY – Tokyo's subway lines are too complex unless you have a lot of stamina. Despite Tokyo being bustling, if you avoid peak hours, taxis usually don't get stuck in traffic. We stayed for four nights and received turn-down service every evening, which felt a bit environmentally unfriendly (they change all the towels and crockery again during turn-down). You can press the 'Do Not Disturb' button by the door if you prefer not to have it. If you have an early morning flight, you can exchange your room card for biscuits or chocolates at the first-floor cake shop the night before – this is something they inform you about upon check-in. Overall, their attention to service detail is far superior to the Imperial Hotel in Osaka. Many local 'old money' patrons stay here, and there are always newlyweds taking wedding photos in the lobby. Despite the high traffic, the service is busy but never chaotic; everyone entering is promptly attended to. If you're here for leisure, a stroll through Hibiya Park, the government office area, or the Imperial Palace grounds is very pleasant. (All photos are of the hotel interior.)FromKRW 425,667

Our overall experience at the hotel was excellent. They tried their best to accommodate all our requests before check-in, such as a quiet, non-smoking room near the elevator. As soon as we got out of the car, staff came to help with our luggage and took it directly to our room. For all 8 days of our stay, the room was cleaned impeccably every day. The view of Tokyo Bay from the window was stunning. What truly stood out was how seriously and incredibly quickly the customer service team responded to our calls for deliveries, always completing our requests promptly.FromKRW 643,638

The room was spacious with a high floor and great views. The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk from Suidobashi subway station, and only two stops from Akihabara. There's a limousine bus stop right outside for both airports. Plus, there's a Don Quijote just a 5-minute walk away, and a very affordable food court next to the Tokyo Dome. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo, especially if the price remains this good! 😄FromKRW 247,049

The hotel is conveniently located near several subway stations, with Akabanebashi Station being the closest. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking service, and we were assisted by Mr. Fu, who was incredibly warm and attentive. Other staff members were also very friendly and proactive, making us feel right at home. Our room on the 27th floor had a partial view of Tokyo Tower, which was stunning from day to night, offering a very open and expansive view. Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple are right next to the hotel, perfect for a stroll. The room itself was very spacious and well-equipped, with a separate shower and bathtub. There's a supermarket and a gym on the hotel's B2 level. We booked a room that included complimentary access to the executive club lounge, which was excellent value. We enjoyed food and drinks from afternoon check-in until 9:30 PM, and several of the wines were superb. For breakfast the next day, I recommend going early as the Japanese set is limited and runs out quickly. We were lucky enough to get the last two!FromKRW 499,781

Akasaka Tokyo|2.21km from city center
Room and bed were very comfortable, immaculately clean and modern. 2 mins walk from train station, if you need lift access to train then a 6 mins walk, we had a stroller.
Breakfast was a bit of a zoo, we went during Christmas, very busy! But tables were spacious so even though there were so many people you don’t feel cramped. Good variety of food selection. We had dinner at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Delicious, especially the tuna salad.
I found the lobby staff a little lack of personality, at check in, no mentioning of where breakfast will be, what time check out is. Just checked you in and that’s it, no personal notes in the room. When I expressed I’ve lost my phone at the shop in Tokyo, no sign of empathy (it was a western male staff) no gesture of helpfulness, very cold and robotic. This goes for concierge also, he is an older western gentleman, he needs to use Google translate also which is frustrating cause I could do exactly the same research with Google translate.
Overall, hardware is solid, need to fine tune the staff, sprinkle a little bit of personality in them.FromKRW 761,697

Facilities: The hotel is relatively new overall, and the room facilities are well-maintained. You can pick up toothbrushes and other necessities at the front desk.
Hygiene: Consistently good, as always.
Environment: There's a self-service washing machine where you can scan with Alipay and pay. The dryer, however, takes a bit longer. The hotel's advantage is its close proximity to Yaesu and Ginza, both within easy walking distance; Ginza is just about ten minutes away. The subway is also convenient for getting anywhere, thanks to its very central location in Chuo Ward.
Service: I had a misunderstanding with the hotel front desk. Most local Japanese staff are very gentle and professional, but there were a few Japanese staff members who were quite disrespectful and behaved unpleasantly. Thankfully, Trip.com intervened promptly and contacted the hotel management. After that, the hotel management apologized and upgraded our room, which greatly comforted my disappointed mood. The most important person in this was Manager Ho, who was very refined and wore black-rimmed glasses. He helped us feel reassured during this incident, and I thank him. Objectively speaking, he also demonstrated the professionalism and thoughtfulness of this hotel. I hope it will continue to improve in the future.FromKRW 308,483

However, the two small double beds were quite small for our family of two adults and two college kids. the water from the toilet tap was chalky and staff clarified that its drinkable or can be used for boiling but we opted to use the water dispenser outside our room to boil water. one inconvenient we felt was the shower and toilet sink faucets were of same single faucet which meant that we cannot do showering and usinf toilet sink faucet at same time.FromKRW 244,862

Odaiba Tokyo|5.01km from city center
Good service, but maintenance and consistency could be improved.
I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. While the overall service and location are good, a few details made the experience fall short of true 5-star standards.
Pros:
• The washroom is spacious and clean, with strong shower pressure that feels great after a long day out.
• The anti-slip mat is a thoughtful touch since the bathtub can get slippery.
• Toiletries and body lotion are of decent quality.
• The in-room iron is convenient, no need to request one.
• The room includes a small balcony and is non-smoking friendly.
• The complimentary slippers are comfortable and well-made.
• Staff are polite and helpful throughout my stay.
Cons:
• The bathroom mirror fogs up completely after showering — it would be great if anti-fog mirrors were installed.
• My room key card was disabled after the first night, requiring a trip to the front desk for reactivation.
• The cupboard doors are old and difficult to open, making noticeable noise.
• Breakfast is decent but repetitive. During peak times, guests were directed to a temporary seating area where food wasn’t replenished promptly.
• After housekeeping, my used towels were removed but not replaced.
• The carpet feels dusty, suggesting it could use a deep clean or refresh.
Overall:
The staff are courteous and professional, and the basic comfort level is good. However, for a 5-star hotel, the property feels a little dated and service consistency needs improvement. With some attention to maintenance and small operational details, this could easily become a much better experience.FromKRW 426,541

We have always been an avid traveller and we love five stars hotel. And this trip to Tokyo, we booked for the biggest Aman Suite at Aman Tokyo and we also booked for a few nights in Bvlgari Suite at Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo. However the price we paid for Aman is 380,000yen more than our suite in Bvlgari yet the services and experiences we get in Bvlgari is so much better. The staff generally speaks better English, and their butler are way more proactive and confident, perhaps due to language proficiency. Also at Bvlgari they serve daily evening refreshment which they do not have at Aman. Also the breakfast at Bvlgari is 24 hours so we do not have to worry about missing our breakfast hour. We also do not see a lot of differences between the suite type in Aman. Personally we wouldn’t recommend Aman Tokyo to anyone considering there are a lot of better options and five stars hotel around for the price we paid.FromKRW 4,833,843

If you don't like the bed being right by the entrance, you might want to avoid this.

Service: If you're coming to the hotel from outside the building, there are absolutely no signs, elevators, or escalators to get to the hotel lobby on the 2nd floor.

This is my third stay here, and the hotel continues to impress with its excellent transportation links, cleanliness, and warm service. It's a truly great hotel! This time, I wanted to share a useful tip: you can purchase Limousine Bus tickets to Narita and Haneda airports directly from the hotel with cash, and then board the bus right here. They'll give you a QR code to scan for ticket verification once you're on board. You can find the departure schedule in the attached image.FromKRW 523,830

Ikebukuro Commercial Tokyo|8.16km from city center
The hotel is conveniently located very near to the ikebukuro station. The airport limousine stops by the hotel and we can book the tickets at the hotel counter.
There is a convenience shop at the hotel lobby. There are many restaurants nearby and we can walk to sunshine city too.
The room (Japanese western style room) was spacious, clean and cozy for our family of 4. The toilet and shower are separated. The breakfast spread was good.
The service was excellent. The counter service staff and the chambermaids were friendly and helpful. We were so thankful that 2 of the staff even took the initiative to wait for us with our luggages at the hotel exit to the bus bay when we were almost late for the airport limousine.FromKRW 205,509

Ginza Tokyo|0.79km from city center
This hotel is in a central location near Ginza, with easy access to the JR Yamanote, Ginza, and Hibiya lines, and right next to Hibiya Park. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the room was, especially for Tokyo, and loved that it had a separate wet and dry area with a bathtub – that really exceeded my expectations! The hotel lobby is also very open with great views, and the breakfast was delicious. I'd definitely want to stay here again on my next trip to Tokyo.FromKRW 459,554

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|7.08km from city center
The location is decent, situated in Shinjuku, but it’s not exactly in the heart of the busiest areas. If you’re planning to visit restaurants or shopping spots, be prepared for a bit of a walk daily. The lobby is beautiful, and while the onsen and sauna are small, they are quite effective. The rooms are okay, though not very modern. Breakfast was also just average and not particularly impressive, given the price.FromKRW 672,715

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.09km from city center
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.FromKRW 857,018

Odaiba Tokyo|5.16km from city center
1. **Super convenient transportation:** Directly connected to Odaiba Station on the Yurikamome Line, just a 1-minute walk to the platform. You can book shuttle buses to Disneyland/Haneda Airport. An elevated walkway connects directly to shopping malls like AQUA CITY Odaiba, so you don't need an umbrella on rainy days.
2. **Ocean views + ample space:** The rooms are spacious by Tokyo standards, with family rooms/twin rooms suitable for two adults and one child or one adult and two children. Most sea-view rooms offer stunning night views of the Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba Ferris Wheel. Bathrooms often feature both a bathtub and a separate shower, which is convenient for bathing a 4-year-old. The front desk provides complimentary children's slippers, toothbrushes, and other amenities.
3. **Rich cultural experiences nearby:** Within walking distance to Odaiba Marine Park, the Gundam statue, and the Statue of Liberty. Japan's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) and the Mori Building Digital Art Museum are within a 5-minute drive.
**Downside:** The breakfast selection is limited, and there are no noodles or udon, which I prefer.FromKRW 370,791

Facilities: I really enjoyed the European-style decor; the hotel is exceptionally well-managed and maintained. The ground floor cafe is a lovely spot for afternoon tea.
Cleanliness: Housekeeping is thorough – just remember to put out the 'Please make up room' sign before you head out each day.
Ambiance: The 32sqm room was spacious and comfortable, never felt crowded.
Service: Upon arrival, the front desk staff immediately offered a wet wipe, which was a very thoughtful touch. They were always smiling and polite, and even delivered my luggage to the room.
Breakfast: The breakfast on the 2nd floor was mediocre, but the buffet in the basement (B1) with both Western and Japanese options was quite satisfactory.
Transportation: The hotel has a direct underground connection to Shimbashi Subway Station, which is incredibly handy when you're lugging suitcases. Shimbashi is a major transportation hub, offering extremely convenient access to the Yurikamome Line, Shinkansen, and various subway lines, making it perfect for shopping in Ginza and beyond.
Location: Additionally, there are numerous convenience stores, pharmacies, food streets, and a lively bar street nearby, making it super convenient for late-night snacks and shopping. Plus, Ginza, including Mitsukoshi Department Store, is only about a 10-minute walk away.FromKRW 423,481

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|2.31km from city center
The deluxe room is quite spacious for Tokyo, making it easy to pack and unpack. However, compared to the room size, the bathroom feels a bit cramped, and the sink drains very slowly. The bedding comfort is just average. Perhaps because I didn't request a higher floor when booking, they assigned me the lowest floor (6F), which was a bit disappointing. Since I was only staying briefly, I didn't bother asking the front desk to change it. From the moment I arrived to check-in and luggage delivery, the overall service awareness and attitude were excellent. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, and the quality was unremarkable; it didn't leave a lasting impression compared to other hotels I've stayed at in Japan.
Overall, it's an unremarkable hotel – perfectly fine to stay in, but nothing particularly exciting.FromKRW 317,665

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.21km from city center
Having enjoyed a previous stay in February, I chose to return this July. I requested an east-facing room and was delighted that my wish was granted. The sunrise view towards the Skytree and the National Diet Building around 4:30 AM in summer is absolutely breathtaking, easily rivaling any dedicated observation deck experience. The Japanese set breakfast was both substantial and delicious, and the serene view of pine trees reflected in the restaurant's pond was incredibly soothing. Furthermore, perhaps owing to its prime location near the National Diet Building and the Prime Minister's Official Residence, the hotel offers incredibly convenient direct underground access to public transportation, yet the street-level environment remains remarkably quiet and tranquil. The staff were exceptionally courteous and friendly, and the presence of Chinese-speaking personnel ensures that Chinese guests will face virtually no language barriers. On a delightful side note, the ambient fragrance used in The Capitol Hotel Tokyu's corridors is utterly captivating – I highly recommend making it available for purchase at the hotel's souvenir shop! I will absolutely be rebooking here for my next trip to Tokyo.FromKRW 1,046,349

My stay at VIA INN PRIME Nihonbashi Ningyocho was quite good overall. The location is very convenient, close to Ningyocho Station, making it easy to get to Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Ueno. There are also many convenience stores and small restaurants nearby, and it's quiet at night when you return. The room, while not large, was very clean and well-arranged. A pleasant surprise was being able to see the Tokyo Skytree from my window; seeing it lit up at night always brightened my mood, which was a nice little bonus.
The bed was comfortable, and the soundproofing was better than expected, so I slept soundly. The only minor drawback was the 10 AM check-out time, which felt a bit early and made the morning feel rushed. However, the front desk check-out process was very quick and efficient. Overall, it's a practical and hassle-free hotel to stay in, with a great location and good value for money.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.36km from city center
The hotel was better than expected. Although the room was only 16 square meters, it didn't feel cramped at all for two people. I left a note asking for an upgrade to a higher floor, and they put us on the 11th floor, which was great.
The hotel's location is excellent, just about a 5-minute walk from the Higashi-Ginza exit. It's also super convenient for getting to Ginza itself. However, the subway exit has stairs, so it's best to use the escalator on the opposite side, near the Kabuki-za.
What impressed me most was the breakfast, which offered three different bento boxes daily: Yamakai smoke (Mountain, Sea, Smoke). The ”Mountain” was a chicken cutlet bento, the ”Sea” was a salmon bento, and the ”Smoke” was a tempura bento. My personal favorite was the salmon bento. It seemed like the ingredients came fresh from the Tsukiji Market. Of course, if you're not keen on bento, it's very easy to walk to Tsukiji Market from here.FromKRW 250,547

I highly, highly recommend this hotel. First off, for a solo traveler, the location is incredibly convenient.

From Narita Airport, you can take a 1500 yen bus that drops you off about 500 meters from the hotel. To get back to the airport, you can buy a direct ticket at Tokyo Station. If you prefer walking, the hotel offers direct access to Ginza, Marunouchi, the Imperial Palace, and more. Secondly, the room facilities are excellent. The single room size is perfectly adequate, and the cleanliness is top-notch. The front desk offers complimentary items like face masks and foot patches, and the room comes with a day's worth of makeup remover, facial cleanser, and skincare samples. The bedding is also very comfortable, with one soft and one firm pillow. The hotel staff are warm and attentive, always happy to accommodate guests' needs within their capabilities.
