I love staying at B-Ginza hotel. It is strategic location, close to many shops such as muji, itoya, gu, uniqlo, donki, loft, itoya, etc. Quiet area which is great for resting. The staffs are professional, friendly, easy to communicate & helpful (specially Robert). 

I like the coffee machine which you can print the image, got several times with different ones 😁. The amenities are there in the lobby, you can take according to your needs. I also got some voucher drinks 🍺🍸.

Can’t complain about the room space since this is located in center city. They clean every 3 days but change your towel daily which it worked for us. 

I booked 3 rooms for my family and they all satisfy. Definitely will come back again dan recommended for others! Thank you B-Ginza team 🙏🏻.

The hotel is conveniently located on Chyoda metro line, there are some supermarkets nearby with long business hours so you won't starve returning late. You can use a public elevator to go to the hotel from metro exit 3b, otherwise you'll have to walk uphill. There is a vending machine in the hotel with nice instant noodles and beer. The hotel offers nice treats like macarons and donuts, as well as good face lotion etc.

Breakfast is quite good. Our room had a view on a cemetery but who cares. The beds were a bit on the harder side but clean, without any unpleasant smell. 

Overall, the hotel offers a very good value for the price.

Very pretty for a 3-star hotel. The lift is fast, and the location is great—just a short walk to Senso-ji Temple, with an amazing view of Tokyo Skytree from our room. Breakfast had excellent choices.

However, the check-in and check-out experience was disappointing. All the Japanese staff were friendly and polite, but some other staff were not as professional and polite.

When we asked about extending checkout, one staff member that has a bit of curly hair that looks like from South Asia or Middle eastern looking man spoke to us sharply and used dismissive hand gestures waving in the air like if we want to extend our checkout  time it would cost 1300 Yen per hour and said to us that’swhat we have to pay.

 Which is fine by us as We paid ¥3900 for a 2PM checkout (about AUD $35 which is nothing for us) which we were happy to pay as it allowed us to store our shopping before our evening flight.

Overall, it’s a shame the service didn’t match our otherwise pleasant stay, especially compared to our experience at The B Ginza.

The management team should check on this one staff regarding his performance and his expression to guests as we find it very rude and disrespectful and it makes us look cheap.

The hygiene and facilities are excellent, and the bath water temperature is just right – soaking in it after a day of walking is incredibly relaxing. There are steps at the entrance, but they're not too high. The location is really convenient, not far from several subway stations, and you can even walk to Tokyo Dome and Korakuen. The nearby restaurants, noodle shops, and cafes are all fantastic. The room isn't small, though the bathroom is one of those integrated units typical of economy hotels, which was a bit tight for my larger build to turn around in, but it was very clean. I feel like I'd stay here again. The free ice cream was delicious! I couldn't figure out the machine myself, but a nice young man helped me. I tried to go after 8 PM as much as possible, because earlier than that, there would be a queue of students.

The hotel’s location and cleanliness are excellent. Considering that you will probably walk a lot during your trip to Tokyo, the hotel’s proximity to the metro station provides great convenience. The staff’s attitude and warm approach were also very commendable. When I went to the reception to solve a small problem I had in the room, a lady at the reception accompanied me to my room and helped me fix the issue. As a negative point, I can mention that the air conditioners are centrally controlled, so the temperature does not really change even if you adjust it. Also, there are only two washing machines and two dryers available for guests, which sometimes feels insufficient.

The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Shimbashi Station. If you're feeling energetic, you can easily walk to Ginza and Tokyo Station. The surrounding area is very lively, with many small shops and locals, making it convenient for shopping and dining. I stayed in two room types: the double room could only fit one suitcase open, while the superior double room could fit two (assuming no extra bed). Housekeeping is every other day, with fresh towels and trash removal daily. For repeat guests, you can store up to two pieces of luggage. Communication with the front desk was smooth; they readily helped when I asked to have an extra bed removed. The only drawback is the lack of a laundry room, which isn't ideal for travelers who prefer to pack light.

For Chinese tourists, my review should be helpful. First, in terms of location, I think the hotel's biggest selling point is its excellent position. It's a two-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, Exit 10. Nearby, there's a FamilyMart, 7-Eleven, and various restaurants, yet it's not noisy. Akasaka-Mitsuke Station itself serves about three subway lines, which is incredibly convenient. 

Regarding service, everyone at the front desk spoke English well enough, though a few spoke a bit too quickly, making it hard to catch everything without asking for clarification. However, they handled basic tasks without issue. The housekeeping staff's English wasn't as good; they also didn't ask questions and simply nodded to everything I said, but understood almost nothing. There were also issues with their work. I had an opened mask pack with only one sheet used, which disappeared after housekeeping cleaned the room in the morning. When I inquired at the front desk, they found it the next day, along with an AirTag I had thrown away. They explained that the mask pack was mistakenly discarded as trash, but I distinctly remember placing it in the hotel's basket (which contained the hotel's bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer, and what seemed to be body lotion). I'm not sure what the housekeeper was thinking, but what I do appreciate is their ability to trace discarded items and retrieve them. The cleanliness itself was fine. Japan promotes environmental protection, so hotels don't encourage daily linen changes, which is perfectly acceptable.

As for facilities and amenities, I only had one bag and a carry-on, so the room size was just right for me. However, for those with large luggage, it would be extremely cramped; once a suitcase is open, it pretty much fills the floor, making it inconvenient to move around. The bathroom was a bit small, but that's normal for Japan. Toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste are in the bathroom, while other items need to be picked up from the front desk. My main gripe is with the drinking water. I understand why there are no bottled water in the room due to environmental concerns, so you have to go to the water dispenser on the first floor. Disposable cups are available next to the dispenser. I wonder if, like many other environmentally-conscious developed regions, they could provide a large, hotel-use-only water pitcher? That would be much more convenient. Having to go downstairs every day to fill up and then bring a cup back is a bit of a hassle, but it's not a major problem.

In summary, if I return to Tokyo without any specific reason, I would most likely stay here again. However, for those with a lot of luggage or primarily exploring the northeast side of Tokyo, careful consideration is advised.

This Tokyo trip's hotel completely exceeded my expectations. From check-in to check-out, I felt the staff's incredible thoughtfulness throughout, and I definitely have to recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Tokyo!

The hotel's location is absolutely perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the subway station. From there, you can easily reach popular areas like Ginza and Tokyo Station. There are also convenience stores, izakayas, and unique restaurants nearby, making late-night snacking or shopping incredibly convenient. The most pleasant surprise was how spacious the room felt for a Tokyo hotel. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, you could catch glimpses of the city, and the natural light was excellent. Inside, the amenities were comprehensive – the Simmons mattress was soft and comfortable, washing away all travel fatigue. The double basin design and bathtub with a temperature display were incredibly thoughtful, showing attention to detail everywhere. The room's cleanliness was impeccable; there wasn't a speck of dust in any corner, and the bedding and bathroom supplies had a fresh scent. The complimentary portable WiFi had a stable signal, allowing me to stay connected and navigate easily while out and about.

The facilities are complete and the service is excellent. Even though I arrived early and couldn't check in yet, they arranged for me to store my luggage, which made it easy to go out for food and shopping. The only thing I think could be improved is that there was no drinking water in the room. When I stayed at the Keio Plaza Hotel nearby before, there was drinking water in the fridge.

The room was a bit small, but there's a convenience store right downstairs and the subway station is only a 5-minute walk, which is very convenient.

The hotel was exactly as described and the location is very good, close to Susukino. There are also many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, which makes it very convenient.

One highlight is that there is a parfait shop right across the hotel (on the 1st floor ) and a tonkatsu restaurant (ground floor).Both were very delicious — we liked them so much that we went back for two days in a row.

The hotel staff were very friendly and always greeted us whenever we passed by. The front desk also provides various daily necessities that guests can take for free. There is a water dispenser available as well, including hot and cold water, coffee, and tea.

We stayed for 5 nights. The room was cleaned once every three days, and fresh towels were provided daily. The room and bathroom were also quite spacious, so the stay was comfortable overall.

The front desk staff were really helpful. They offer a complimentary bar and you can even make your own bath bombs, which was a fun touch. The room was super comfortable, making for a great overall experience. The location is also fantastic, right next to Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade.

The hotel's location is a bit of a walk from Hakata Station, taking over ten minutes on foot, which isn't ideal if you're traveling with luggage. The room temperature was on the high side, feeling quite warm, and we had to pull out the key card at night to cut the power just to get some relief. During our stay, the bed linens were only changed once proactively; extra changes required booking a day in advance. Breakfast variety and quality were pretty average. Overall, it was an unremarkable experience without many surprises. Proceed with caution.
