My fifth hotel in Tokyo over the past four years, so I can confidently say that it was on par with my expectations for pricing, cleanliness, comfort, location, and service. The room I chose (Residence) was well equipped, and having a small kitchenette and washer/dryer combo meant I could heat up konbini meals and run laundry regularly, which greatly reduced the amount of clothes I brought. Bringing just a couple pairs of socks, underwear, and other basics instead of a set for every day of the trip was a welcome ease on my packing.
I requested a high-floor during my booking, and was given a room on the 23rd floor with sweeping southeast-facing views of Shinjuku to the north, Roppongi to the southeast (straight ahead), and Minato and Tokyo tower to the south. Below, Aoyama Cemetery, the largest cemetery in Tokyo, is spread out and a peaceful sight to behold. I found it to be a lovely place to take a walk in the morning, a silent refuge in the middle of the city.
The AC blew cold and quietly, the washer/dryer was amazing and easy to use once I translated the instruction sheet (detergent also provided), and the internet speed was good. I appreciated the kitchenette and proper desk for working.
The room was also dead quiet, and I had no issues with noise.
Housekeeping is provided in a limited manner by putting a sign on the door. They will empty the trash and provide fresh towels. A full cleaning of the room is only done once per week, and upon check-in, you can specify which day you prefer.
Drink vending machine in the lobby is handy, and free coffee is always available. A FamilyMart is also half a block away.
The hotel is a 4 min walk to Gaiemmae station, and in the other direction, 9 mins to Omote-Sando station. I loved being between the two stations as I never had trouble getting around with those options. Taxi pickup/dropoff is also fairly easy as the hotel entrance is off the main street.Show More
