Everything about this stay was perfect, from the general manager’s welcome to the recently renovated rooms.
Saud Almansoori Aug 2026
The general manager gave us his business card at check-in so we could reach him for anything we needed, which set the tone for the whole stay. The hotel is small, and the reception area isn’t huge, but that barely registered against how good the staff were. Everything felt recently renovated and cared for.
- Personal welcome from the GM
- Recently renovated feel

Mixed feelings this time: the bed was as comfortable as ever, but the small lobby and a refused late checkout left a mark.
Sameera Aljohani Jul 2026
The manager treated us to a free meal on arrival, which was a nice gesture. But the hotel is small with barely a lobby, and the entrance didn’t smell right, unusual for this brand. We asked for a couple of extra hours on checkout for one of our two rooms and were refused even though I could see availability. That’s not the luxury experience I expect at this price.
- Comfortable beds
- Kind gesture from the manager
- No late checkout flexibility offered
- Small lobby
- Entrance smell noted as off
Mixed read
The hotel is beautiful, but being directly above Tokyo Station means you hear the trains from certain rooms.

Concierge offered a noise-canceling machine when I mentioned the issue, but it was hard to rest properly even with it. On the plus side, the restaurant recommendations from the concierge team were excellent and worth following.
- Strong restaurant recommendations from concierge
- Audible train noise in some rooms
- Noise fix offered was only partially effective

Getting one big room for the four of us worked out better than two smaller ones would have anywhere else in the city.
Betty Nhan Mar 2025
Service was wonderful all around, and the doorman actually remembered my birthday and came out to wish me well. The location made the Narita Express connection painless, just one train instead of transferring with luggage. My teenagers appreciated the space as much as I did.
- Doorman remembered a personal detail
- Direct Narita Express connection
- Large room suited a family of four

Connected right into Tokyo Station, and I felt like five or six different staff members greeted us every time we came or went.

The concierge got us into a Michelin-starred restaurant with easy, reliable email communication throughout. The room had everything expected: heated toilet seat, pajamas, automatic shades, a welcome fruit plate. Breakfast buffet was solid too.
- Concierge secured a Michelin-starred reservation
- Well-equipped rooms with expected amenities

It’s one of the smallest luxury hotels in the city, with just 57 rooms and two restaurants, and the size works in its favor.
The Telegraph Travel Mar 2025
What it lacks in scale it makes up for in warmth: the service matches the space, and staff here are as attentive and friendly as the best Japanese hotels tend to be.
- Intimate scale with only 57 rooms
- Warm, attentive service

If I could give this place six out of five stars I would, and it’s the staff, not the rooms, that got me there.
Vincent Hartman Aug 2026
The property itself is brilliant, with under 60 rooms giving it a genuinely intimate, quiet feel and zero noise pollution in the room I had. But the real story is the team: a mix of nationalities who actually stopped to talk rather than just serve. The concierge pulled off last-minute reservations at hard-to-book sushi and fugu spots, and one of them personally walked us through the mall to find a hidden restaurant. The bar’s Negronis held their own against the ones I’ve had in Italy.
- Concierge secured hard-to-get restaurant reservations
- Notably quiet, intimate rooms
- Strong cocktail program

Eight nights with my family and every single day was made special, right down to a surprise gift for my son’s birthday.
Will Tribke Jul 2026
The room came with a welcome card and treats, and my son found a birthday surprise waiting when we arrived. Nightly tea service was a nice touch after long days out. The rooms had been recently remodeled and the bathrooms were fully stocked, with a large soaking tub and separate shower room. Mitsuo and the concierge team handled transportation and recommendations constantly, and the breakfast team made sure my son’s French toast order was in before we even sat down.
- Recently remodeled rooms
- Thoughtful touches for kids

Our room was luxurious and beautifully finished, and the team turned my husband’s birthday into a running celebration across the whole stay.

Every department seemed to know about the birthday and kept it going with notes, greetings and treats throughout our visit. The room had a great shower and smart storage that made it easy to settle in. When my golf driver was damaged in transit, the front desk called around town and found a replacement without me even asking twice. Housekeeping kept things immaculate every single day.
- Front desk solved a damaged golf club issue
- Spacious, well-finished room with a strong shower
- Consistent, personal service across departments

We stayed with a five-year-old and an 11-month-old and it exceeded every expectation we had.

The recent refurbishment shows: our room was immaculate and every detail felt intentional despite it being a city hotel. Our older kid got custom pajamas and the hotel provided a stroller for the baby, which made getting around Tokyo so much easier. The standout moment was when we needed diapers unexpectedly and a staff member went out, bought them, and personally delivered them to our room without us even formally asking. We’ve stayed at plenty of luxury hotels and this one stands with the very best.
- Thoughtful family amenities like stroller and custom pajamas
- Staff solved a diaper shortage without being asked
- Refurbished rooms feel intentional and well designed

Six nights during cherry blossom season, and dinner at Sezanne was the best service I’ve had at any Michelin-starred restaurant anywhere.
Neha Rana Apr 2025
The whole staff was warm and accommodating with our two kids, ages four and seven, who were treated like royalty the entire stay. They surprised my daughter with treats and gifts when they learned it was her birthday. The location made every neighborhood in Tokyo easy to reach from Tokyo Station. Keigo in particular helped enormously with reservations and was kind throughout.
- Sezanne dinner service called best-in-class
- Staff arranged birthday surprise for a child

We went in expecting an outdated business hotel and came away impressed by how much more it offered than just a bed.
Fay.D Jul 2024
Our room overlooked the whole rail complex at Tokyo Station, and my three-year-old was thrilled watching the Shinkansen go by with almost no noise inside the room. Staff childproofed the furniture and greeted us warmly every time we came and went. The manager left my son a note, and the concierge tipped us off on when to catch the rare Dr. Yellow train. The pajamas were genuinely comfortable, and housekeeping arranged our things according to our habits.
- Train views with minimal in-room noise
- Furniture childproofed for young kids
- Concierge shares insider tips like rare train sightings
- Room felt a bit older compared to newer options nearby

Fifteen nights here and it was the best hotel experience we’ve had, especially with a baby in tow.
Wanting Low Feb 2024
A staff member walked us all the way to a sushi restaurant on our first night and got us seated even though it was late. The concierge and doorman greeted us by name morning and evening every single day. Baby amenities were fantastic, cot, changing table, diaper bin, bath tub, even diapers on hand. On our last night they left a card with personal notes from the team, sake glasses, and a soft toy for our baby.
- Extensive baby and family amenities
- Personal farewell gesture on departure
- Staff escorted guests to restaurant when fully booked
