hankyu hanshin Hotels in Tokyo

We are a family of 4 with 2 young kids 2&5. The hotel was perfect as the size of the room was quite big compared to others in Japan. The area felt safe. Although not centrally right at Ginza, it was only a short walk. The shimbashi station was also right there providing access to various lines in Tokyo! Not sure about the amenities in the hotel as we did not use any and was outside. The service was absolutely 5 star! On the day we were leaving, our luggage was overweight and the bellboy helped us with using the weights. We took the limousine bus to the airport with hands full of luggage and stroller, they went out of the way to helped us with bringing the luggage and the stroller to the limousine stop outside of the hotel. Would definitely recommend for families stay although it is not very modern looking. At night, you can also go down to the restaurants in the alleyway to enjoy some late night beer and dining.

The location of the hotel is perfect. It is one minute walk to Don Quixote, and very close to Ginza Main Street. It has a convenience store Family Mart just below the hotel. Although the room is not so big since its normal in Ginza area, the facilities are complete! Size of shower room is just perfect. What I do not really like is they do not give extra bottles of drinking water even when I asked for it. There is also a massage chair in the room where in you can sit and relax after a long day of walking. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, only a 2 minute walk from the subway. The hotel staff are very kind and helpful, the rooms are clean, and the bed is comfortable. There's also a massage chair in the room, which is great after a long day of walking and exploring the city.

Typical business hotel with expected amenities. Room is small but just big enough to repack a large suitcase. In the pricier side as the location is very convenient. Lot of food options nearby and very close to different rail lines.

It’s close to a convenience store and a train station. The location is great, but the food is even better! A wide variety of foods for everybody to choose from. The beds were very comfy, and the whole room was extremely clean.

Pros: Location was great with just 7-10mins walk to Tokyo Station and there's Kyobashi Station (Ginza Line) just outside the hotel making it easy to access to Shibuya Station. Massage Chair in each room as a replacement of bathtub, came in handy for our aching backs and legs (not for feet) which we used it almost everyday! Cons: Found a strand of hair in the bath towel for 2 days stay. Note there's no washing machine in hotel but they do provide laundry service (chargeable). Bed is situated next to bathroom so lights will be shinning into the bedroom when using the bathroom.

The location of hotel is superb, right next to Ikebukuro Station with many shops around. Facilities is a bit old but generally maintained at a good standard. We are looking for a room with 3 beds, which is not easy to find. Compared with another hotel with 3 beds in Takadanobaba, the size of this room is larger so that we can open 4 luggages at the same time. The down side of this hotel is that there is only 1 escalator (width just enough for 1 person) from entrance to lobby, no elevator. Need to walk the stairs if the escalator is not working in the direction as you are going.

Geographical advantage: 5 stars, very convenient for travel, about 20 minutes walk to Ginza Center Street, not far from the subway station. Landscape: Because the hotel is located above the 32nd floor of the building, the view of the city is very good, especially the night view, which is very good. Facilities: A bit old, the bathroom is too small for tall people, there is a problem with the bathtub drain, you need to clean it manually, a little dissatisfied Hygiene: Overall OK In general, because of the view outside the window and convenient transportation, a little dissatisfaction can be ignored. Oh, there are two convenience stores downstairs, which is really convenient👍🏻

Pros - Superb location. You live right above the JR station and the Lawson right under opens for 24 hours. - No serious downsides with a nice room. For the most part it was a nice stay and I'd give a 8/10 overall, so the cons below are a bit nitpicky. Cons - Check in machines. Really hated them and they pop up at every hotel I've stayed recently. Every foreigner I've seen had some problems with them that require manual assistance anyways so check in actually takes more time than when they didn't exist. Not a language barrier problem but more like errors popping up too often. - Slippers are reused. - The side I stayed on faces directly to this building called チョムチョム秋葉原, which in itself isn't a problem. However, it has a hot pot shop on the 5th floor with glass windows all over that opens until 5AM. Staying on the 7th floor, which is the lowest floor possible for this hotel, made it a little uncomfortable to leave the curtains opened at night to an otherwise nice view to wake up to. - The chair in the room has no back support. - One lift doesn't reach the ground floor out of the 3, and I seem to catch that one way more often and had to change lifts on the reception floor most of the time. Overall for the price I paid (about 35000JPY for 2 nights) it's a decent stay compared to my other experiences in Japan. The greatest strength is its 0 minute from JR station and easy access to convenience stores. If these 2 are not your great priorities there are more competitve alternatives around Akihabara.

Hotel is near to Kayabacho and Hatchobori station. Alternatively, you can get to Tokyo station from the bus stop in front of the hotel. If you have booked any day trip and the meet up venue is at Marunouchi station, taking a uber could be a better choice. Our ride cost is around JPY1100 which is not too bad. If you choose to walk back to the hotel from Tokyo station, it will take approx 10 minutes. Room wise, acceptable. Small but considered to be ok for Japan hotels. Front desk service is kinda lukewarm but we did encounter some friendly staff during our stay. Overall this hotel could be one of the options should I return to Tokyo.
