Positive Reviews
positive:
Central location couldn't be handier
This hotel's location — just yards from Tokyo Central station — is undoubtedly its greatest asset. The vast bulk of visitors who've stayed here have loved the fact that they could hop on a metro/JR train and explore the city with ease and/or catch a bullet train to somewhere else in Japan within ten minutes of getting out of bed! Being able to walk to the gorgeous Imperial Palace was considered a major plus point too.
positive:
Wi-Fi is actually very good
Numerous guests have remarked that, unlike so many other three-star hotels in Tokyo, the free Wi-Fi here is strong, reliable and zips along at a rapid rate of knots.
positive:
Staff and service are both top-notch
A significant number of travellers have been impressed with the uniformly positive approach and helpful nature of the employees working at this hotel. The reception and housekeeping operatives made the strongest impressions.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Small guest rooms leave little room for manoeuvre
A significant number of travellers have remarked upon the rather diminutive size of most of the guest rooms. Evidently, the accommodations here are, even by Japanese business hotel standards, really very small.
negative:
Beds aren't so comfy
It has been noted that the beds within the accommodations conform to the traditional Japanese style of being pretty solid and quite hard. Not surprisingly, this is something few Western visitors approved of.
negative:
Some rooms have no views at all
Many disgruntled guests have pointed out that, whilst some of the guest rooms here are blessed with grand cityscape views, many others afford nothing more appealing to look at than a highly proximal brick wall.
