The location is fantastic, right by Senso-ji Temple and the shopping district, with a subway station nearby. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room size is also quite generous for Tokyo standards. The bathroom is excellent, with a separate shower and a small bathtub. You can even see the Skytree from the restaurant.

However, and this is a big however, the breakfast is absolutely terrible. As you can see in the picture, there's very little variety, and it's all 'Western' food with no hot dishes or live cooking stations. You can order three additional toast options, but they are all equally unappetizing. So, definitely skip the breakfast; it's not worth the money. Go eat outside instead.

But, and this is another big but, whatever you do, do NOT go to the Duck-Onion Noodle Restaurant next door. It's incredibly bad, too salty and fishy. If you see many Chinese people queuing there at night, the only reason is that it's the only noodle place open on that street at that hour.

The location is super convenient! It's right at the C1 exit of Ginza Station on the Marunouchi Line, and the airport shuttle bus stop is just a short walk away. What I loved most was how spacious the room was. For this price in Tokyo, getting a room this size where I could spread out my luggage with plenty of room to spare was a huge plus. The only downsides were that the toilet flush wasn't very reliable – I'm not sure if it was broken or just doesn't have an automatic flush feature – and the shower water pressure seemed a bit unstable. The service was good though; the premium lounge on the 13th floor offers complimentary beer, soft drinks, and snacks in the evening.

The hotel is very close to Ryogoku Station, just a 2-minute walk. After exiting the station and walking towards the sumo hall, the hotel is right across the street. The surroundings are lovely, and the terrace is perfect for a drink while enjoying the night view. There's a FamilyMart convenience store down a small street to the left after exiting the subway, and a 7-Eleven to the right. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants on the small street next to the subway station – I recommend the ramen shop. The room is quite spacious for Tokyo standards; you can lay out two 28-inch suitcases without feeling cramped. The hotel breakfast is also good; you order one set and then help yourself to the rest from the buffet. The downside is the room's cleanliness. When I opened the coffee machine, the previous guest's capsule was still inside and hadn't been cleaned, leaving it full of stains, which was disgusting. The coffee cups even had lipstick marks on them. The hygiene situation is a real no-go!

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
I am a patient with uremia, and I wanted to travel one last time in my final days. Everything else about my trip was wonderful, but on the day of check-out, I suddenly felt breathless and experienced severe discomfort in my chest. I called the front desk to request a late check-out of just two hours, and I was fully willing to pay any extra fees for the extension.
However, the front desk staff was extremely cold and unkind. They simply stated that the room was fully booked and that I had to leave immediately, with no flexibility whatsoever.
While the hotel’s location is good, the front desk service has been indifferent from the very beginning. When I first checked in and greeted them with “how are you?”, they ignored me completely. During check-out, the staff also struggled to understand basic English, creating obvious language barriers.
If you are a person with health conditions or medical needs, PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE THIS HOTEL.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Sapporo Station, which is directly connected to the airport via the JR Airport Express. Don't listen to previous reviews suggesting you head towards Daimaru department store. Instead, follow my photos to easily find the hotel. You won't even need to cross the street. Just locate the Namboku Line subway, then find Exit 9 through the side passages. When I visited in February, there was a Descente store next to the hotel's elevator. The front desk is on the 10th floor. Breakfast was good, and the hot springs were very relaxing. Most importantly, the hotel is new. Our triple room included executive lounge access, offering red and white wine, coffee, and four snacks including Jagabee (Jaga Pokkuru). We had a very comfortable stay. Housekeeping is done by 3 PM at the latest. Hokkaido University is a 20-minute walk, Mitsukoshi is also 20 minutes on foot, and the Factory Outlet is a 15-minute walk. We walked everywhere from the hotel.
