Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.49km from city center
The location is fantastic, making it super convenient for exploring Ginza. From the hotel lobby, you can see the Tokyo Tower 🗼, and there's a lovely lounge area where you can relax and snap some great night photos of the tower – it's really impressive. Some rooms at the hotel also offer Tokyo Tower views; you can request this before check-in, but it depends on the room type you've booked. We had a triple room, and unfortunately, it wasn't facing the Tokyo Tower. We stayed on the 21st floor, and the night view was absolutely stunning – definitely worth it! Breakfast was also excellent.
I didn't take many photos inside the hotel, but this is a shot of the Tokyo Tower night view from the hotel lobby. It's even more beautiful in person.FromSGD 263

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.66km from city center
Stepping into the lobby of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, which opened in 1890, I was immediately captivated by the century-old elegance – it truly lives up to its reputation as Japan's 'state guesthouse' 💫.
Located in the heart of Chiyoda Ward, it's just a 3-minute walk from Hibiya Station, and a 5-minute stroll to Ginza's famous shopping street. With direct views of the Imperial Palace and the lush greenery of Hibiya Park, it perfectly combines convenience and tranquility in central Tokyo.
The rooms blend classic and modern styles. The custom SleepWorks mattress offers just the right firmness, and the MIKIMOTO saltwater pearl-infused bath amenities add a touch of exclusive luxury. Some rooms even offer direct views of the Imperial Palace, allowing you to wake up to the morning sun streaming through the windows – a truly atmospheric experience.
What impressed me most was the meticulous service: bellhops keep loose change handy for currency exchange, the laundry service has even earned praise from Hollywood stars, and the attentive guidance from kimono-clad attendants – every detail embodies the essence of Japanese *omotenashi*.
With 17 distinctive restaurants, there's something for everyone. The French cuisine is exquisite and refined, while the Japanese dishes are incredibly fresh and soulful. The Old Imperial Bar's whiskey selection is a favorite among politicians and business elites. The 21st-floor heated pool and high-end fitness center offer city views while you exercise.
In this century-old hotel, which subtly incorporates Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural aesthetics, enjoying a custom meal and a classic cocktail made me truly understand that Tokyo's high-end escapes have always been hidden within these time-honored treasures.FromSGD 355

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.18km from city center
The location is fantastic! It's less than 100 meters from Kyushu Ramen, and Yu-gumi (a popular bathhouse) is also nearby. There's a great yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant next door with excellent quality meat. You're surrounded by food options, and Don Quijote and Lawson are also very close. It's super convenient to drop off your shopping bags at the hotel after a stroll in Ginza, or just head back for a quick rest if you're tired. Getting to other places is a breeze too, as the subway station entrance is right downstairs. The bed is large, and the bathroom and shower are separate, both quite spacious. For one person, the room size feels just right, but it might be a bit snug for two people or if you have two large suitcases.FromSGD 300

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.FromSGD 318

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!FromSGD 349

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.FromSGD 473

This hotel is super easy to find! Just take exit 3a, turn right, walk straight down the alley, then turn right at the traffic light. It's the second building. The triple room was a bit cramped for opening our luggage, but everything else was great. It was quiet, perfect for relaxing. There are four convenience stores nearby (two Family Marts across the street from the subway, and a Lawson on the same block). They even provide disposable toiletries, which you can grab from a shelf next to the front desk. For nearly 1000 MYR a night for a triple room, the breakfast was a letdown, especially for a Malaysian like me. All they had was plain congee. I ended up buying bread from the convenience store. My kids ate plain rice with seaweed soup. No sunny-side-up eggs, not even the most basic options, so the breakfast definitely isn't worth it.FromSGD 132

Room is clean and quite with a good city view (at 15th floor) and people are kind.

To my delightful surprise, on the day of check-out, I received a handwritten letter from this manager! The letter included a specially drawn illustration that cleverly combined elements of the interests we had previously discussed.

Throughout our stay, every interaction made us feel genuinely welcome. The lobby team, the staff at Peter, and housekeeping were all consistently warm, professional, and attentive. Small gestures, friendly smiles, and a real willingness to help turned a simple hotel stay into a collection of memories we will cherish for a long time.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.84km from city center
Hoshinoya Tokyo is situated in a tower in Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, uniquely blending a traditional Japanese garden with a high-rise hotel concept. While its immediate surroundings are dominated by corporate offices like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, its location isn't as prime as other similarly priced luxury hotels such as The Peninsula Tokyo or Bulgari, with a noticeable lack of nearby dining options or convenience stores.
The service, on the other hand, truly made guests feel at home. Each floor boasts a dedicated Japanese-style common area, but the atmosphere felt a bit too rigid or rule-bound. For example, when I asked for a second welcome dessert, it wasn't possible.
However, I would strongly advise against staying here for a business trip. Firstly, the hotel's policy of not allowing unregistered guests to enter is quite inconvenient and arguably unsuitable for a business-oriented establishment. Secondly, the hotel itself offers a rich array of experiences – from its two-Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant to kimono fittings, tea ceremonies, kendo classes, hot springs, and sightseeing bicycles. These features highlight its strong appeal for leisure travel, making it less ideal for business.FromSGD 1,675

If you don't like the bed being right by the entrance, you might want to avoid this. Also, the bedroom doesn't get much natural light because the bathroom is on the outside with a window (a transparent glass bathroom).
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. You have to carry your luggage up the stairs to reach the hotel's main entrance. It's hard to imagine a hotel of this caliber having such an arrangement.

You can see Mount Fuji from the South Building, but not from the Main Building. However, it was a weekend during our stay, and there were many tour groups, which made it very noisy! The hotel assigned us a room on the 34th floor, and it was a corner room at that! Very unaccommodating, especially since I had previously requested *not* to have a corner room.

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.FromSGD 381

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.FromSGD 610

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.74km from city center
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.FromSGD 259

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|2.31km from city center
The hotel has a strong retro vibe, reminiscent of the last century. There are radio buttons by the bed, and the sink and bathtub look like they're 30 years old. The bed, however, was quite comfortable. The room isn't huge, but for Tokyo, it was spacious enough to open two suitcases. Breakfast was exactly the same every day, and after four mornings, I couldn't stomach it anymore. There were very few hot dishes, and they weren't good. The location, though, is incredibly convenient. Below the hotel is Suitengu-mae Station, a small subway station, but you can access the hotel directly without having to exit the station. It's very close to Tokyo Station and Ginza. Turn left when you exit, and you'll find the Tokyo City Air Terminal, with direct buses to Haneda and Narita every half hour, saving you the hassle of transfers. There's a convenience store downstairs, and a 24-hour supermarket about a 10-minute walk away. There aren't many dining options nearby, however.FromSGD 235

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.FromSGD 719

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|7.01km from city center
The room appeared to be over 25 square meters, but for exact measurements, refer to the hotel description. The furniture and lighting in the room were tastefully designed, combining wood and metal elements. The bathroom had the visual effect of stone, though I didn't confirm the actual material. Ventilation in the room was excellent, and it stayed warm even in winter. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day. For environmental reasons, linens were changed every four days, which is acceptable. The lighting controls were well-placed, with three master switches: one on each side of the bed and one by the door. Overall, the management standard truly felt five-star. Across from the hotel is an office building, but its indoor plaza, ”Triangle Plaza,” has fantastic dining options, as well as a lawn, a large screen, and two or three Christmas photo areas. It's definitely worth considering if you're looking for nearby places to eat.FromSGD 423

We recently stayed at VIA INN PRIME NIHONBASHI as a group of three and had an excellent experience from start to finish.
Location is unbeatable. Being part of the JR-West group and right at Nihombashi station makes exploring Tokyo incredibly easy. Direct access to multiple subway and train lines meant we could get anywhere quickly. The neighborhood itself is great - less chaotic than some tourist hubs but with plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and even the Mitsukoshi department store nearby.
The staff were exceptional. Everyone at the front desk was courteous, professional, and spoke good English. They were always ready to help with directions, luggage storage, or any small request, making us feel very welcome.
Breakfast was a highlight! The variety was impressive, offering a delicious mix of both Western and Japanese options. Everything was fresh, tasty, and replenished frequently. It was the perfect way to start our busy days of sightseeing.
We booked a triple room and were pleasantly surprised by the space. For a Tokyo hotel, it was very comfortable for three adults. We had enough room to store our luggage and move around without feeling cramped. The room was equipped with everything we needed: comfortable beds, excellent amenities, strong Wi-Fi, and a powerful shower.FromSGD 79

This was my first time visiting Tokyo, and I stayed at Agora for five days:
🤵♀️ During check-in, although the staff didn't speak Chinese, they provided detailed check-in instructions in Chinese. All the front desk staff I encountered during my stay had excellent attitudes.👍🏻
🧹 The hotel usually cleans rooms every three days. If you need daily cleaning, just put the magnetic sign from your room outside your door before noon on that day.
🛏️ I chose a twin room, and when I opened the door, I found they had pushed two single beds together. The size was decent, and two adults could sleep comfortably without feeling cramped.
📍 The location is excellent. Downstairs, there's a restaurant called Bansuke that serves delicious fried fish ochazuke. Just a short walk away, you'll find FamilyMart, Lawson, and 7-Eleven. There are also drugstores and restaurants at the large intersection outside.
🚇 Higashi-Ginza Station is just around the corner from the hotel entrance, making it very convenient to take the Asakusa Line and Hibiya Line. There's also an express train directly to the airport; just check Google Maps for the schedule. If you prefer to walk to Ginza Station, there's a dedicated underground passage, which is very convenient.
🛍️ If you want to go shopping, most malls are about a 10-minute walk away, and the street is quite lively.
💦 The only downside is that the room is indeed quite small, with barely enough space to lay one suitcase flat. But honestly, for this price, getting such a great location is already very satisfying. The experience was excellent, and I'm grateful to Agora for a wonderful memory of Tokyo.🥰FromSGD 186

I highly, highly recommend this hotel. First off, for a solo traveler, the location is incredibly convenient. It's right next to Tokyo Station, making it super easy to get to the airport and access all forms of transportation. 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. This hotel left a fantastic impression on me.FromSGD 143
