METROPOLITAN HOTELS JR-EAST Properties in Tokyo

This is a fantastic hotel, just a 2-3 minute walk from the subway station, and a 7-minute walk to the JR line. With four circular subway lines intersecting nearby, it's incredibly convenient to get anywhere. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking service. While the rooms are small, they are fully equipped with amenities that meet five-star standards. The cleanliness is exceptional, and the bed is very comfortable. There are countless dining options around Iidabashi, with most restaurants open until 11 PM, so it's perfect to come back for dinner after shopping at 8 PM. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo. This year also marks the hotel's 40th anniversary – wishing them all the best!

Spacious rooms and excellent staff. Highly recommend, especially for its convenient access to/from Haneda Airport. The Keikyu Line takes just 15 minutes to Haneda (fare only 280 JPY/person). The JR line to Shinagawa is also only a 10+ minute ride, making it incredibly easy to get to central Tokyo. Plus, dining and shopping options around the hotel are very convenient.

The breakfast spread was extensive, and the Japanese breakfast was particularly delicious. The restaurant offered great views, and the hotel's location was superb. The only downsides were the rooms, which, typical for Tokyo hotels, were rather small and expensive. Also, finding the lobby for the first time was a bit tricky.

The room was quite spacious, but the double room only had a 1.6-meter bed, which was a bit cramped for two adults and one child. Breakfast was average, but the snacks were quite delicious. The location is fantastic; it's right next to the station exit, and there's a food court downstairs. Everything you could want for eating, drinking, shopping, and more is nearby!

Here’s a clean, 200‑word version without mentioning refreshments: --- 🌟 Hotel Review: Comfortable, Clean, and Thoughtfully Designed 🌟 I was impressed by this hitel how well the room balanced comfort and practicality. The overall design felt modern, warm, and welcoming. The bed was especially comfortable, with crisp white linens, soft pillows, and a decorative green cushion that added a touch of personality. Built‑in lighting and a bedside control panel made it easy to adjust the room’s ambiance. The nightstand included a digital clock and charging ports, which were convenient and well‑placed. The storage area was neatly organized, offering wooden hangers, a luggage rack, a shoehorn, and even a mounted flashlight. These small touches made settling in effortless and showed thoughtful attention to guest needs. The bathroom was spotless and bright, featuring a deep soaking tub, a mounted showerhead, and neatly arranged towels. The large mirror and clean layout made the space feel open and easy to use. A flat‑screen TV and a well‑designed desk provided options for both relaxation and work. The lighting, curtains, and overall layout created a calm, comfortable atmosphere throughout the stay. Overall, this hotel offers a clean, well‑designed space that feels both functional and relaxing. A great choice for travelers who appreciate comfort and thoughtful details. It's also at the centre of Ikebukuro, with less than 5min to the stations. Lots of restaurants and shops around.

Extremely satisfied with our Kamakura hotel booking! We were torn between two options, but since we were traveling with a child, we opted for this one due to its more convenient location. The lobby's aesthetic, coupled with the lush greenery in the atrium, created a wonderfully peaceful (落ち着く) atmosphere. Our room was also spacious and very clean, especially the bathroom, which had a great wet/dry separation and a makeup mirror – I absolutely loved it. There's a convenience store right next door, a drugstore across the street, and the hotel itself has a cafe. Plus, just a short walk away, there's a Michelin-starred ramen place and a delicious tempura restaurant. The more I write about it, the more I want to go back!

For first-time visitors, when you arrive via the Keikyu Line (see photo 1), look for Area A; check-in is on the fifth floor of Area A. I booked a riverside double room, which actually offers a city view – the 'river' can be seen in photo 4. Regarding dining, I didn't book breakfast as I don't eat it. For lunch, I ordered a pasta set with a semi-buffet from the restaurant. I was pleased there was no service charge. I chose a pasta dish made by a local chef using wild vegetables, radishes, and icefish. It was a bit salty but tasted quite good, costing around 2900 JPY. The hotel staff were very responsible. I had a late flight, so to make things easier, I paid 3000 JPY in advance to extend my check-out until 2 PM. When I actually checked out at 12:15 PM, a female staff member helping me with my luggage mentioned that I hadn't actually extended my stay, and she decided to refund the late check-out fee on the spot. I found this quite heartwarming, especially since things here are generally highly self-service, so I hadn't even brought it up myself. The person who handled my check-in was not the same person who processed the refund. I felt that the hotel staff were very attentive and flexible, not just strictly following procedures; they really think of the guests' convenience when traveling!
