Had a great stay here! Only reason for 4 stars is that you can’t control the temperature in your room and it’s centrally controlled and it was always too hot and also not much air blowing out, for 5 nights that was a big detractor. Also the rooms are really basic and a bit scuffed up not sure it qualities for the number of stars it advertises for. Everything else was great.

This is not the first time I stayed in this hotel. The hotel has some renovation compared to my last stay. The check-in was good. However, they just did part of the room clean-up during my stay. They didn't change the used cups and glasses and replenish the tea bags and coffee. I called the Room Service Counter, they hang up on me when I spoke in English. I then called the Receptionist, they did the same when hear English speaking. I have to go down to the front desk from my room. I felt that I was not the first one reporting the issue to the Receptionist as she did not try to listen to my request but just asked how many water bottles, tea bags and coffees I needed.

An honest review

Overall the location is excellent with direct entry to the mall and walking distance from the train. But i dont know if they were short staffed or something but we came back several days at around 4 oclock pm and our room had not been cleaned yet, on those days we just asked that they take away our trash and leave us fresh towels. As for the beds im not sure if its a cultural.thing but they felt hard almost worn and i swear you could feel the springs in the beds. The hotel was celebrating its 45th anniversary and i have a feeling our room hadn't had many touch ups since it opened 45 years ago. Not to mention the thin walls someone upstairs from is probably had kids running around at 11pm and we called the front desk to ask them to quiet down but im not to sure they did anything as the noise continued on for at least another hour. I originally chose to stay here because i did last year and had nothing but an amazing experience with this hotel. But this year was almost a 180 from that last time. I'm hoping the hotel will reevaluate and insure the quailty in all of their room because for a place that is supposedly a high rated hotel its quality consistency leaves something to be desired as I pay more to receive a certain level of quality and this stay was not it.

There was no A/C in the room. No way to adjust temperature in the room (and no window). Staff was rude and not helpful in general. Rooms are not clean. Both sets of bedsheets are not clean in our room with two beds. Perhaps they are short staffed. There are way better hotels in Tokyo!
