This hotel is in central Tokyo, yet in a really quiet neighbourhood. I was here for work, and this hotel is close to Japanese government buildings and a number of embassies, so the location worked for me. However, I would say if you are here to see and be surrounded by the vibrant city that is Tokyo, some other neighbourhoods might be better (depending, of course, of what you like). That said, it is not poorly connected, although there are areas easier to get to. There is a tube station (Hanzomon / 半蔵門, on the line of the same name) just seconds from the entrance to the hotel. That tube line may connect to some of the busy areas, such as Shibuya, but if coming on the train from Narita into Tokyo station, or on the monorail from Haneda into Hamamatsucho station, it's probably easier to take taxis from those stations onto the hotel, rather than navigate the tube network with suitcases. It was perhaps a 10-15 minutes in the taxi from the end of the monorail line that comes from Haneda airport; Tokyo station would be under ten minutes by taxi. The hotel itself was comfortable enough. The reception desk was on the ground floor, and staff could speak English. The room was small but decent quality, so good value from my perspective. Plus whilst large rooms do exist in Tokyo, they tend to be in really high end establishments (and so have a hefty price tag). I stayed just as Covid-19 was becoming the global issue it now is, and they were very good at cleaning and providing sanitiser and the like. Breakfast was good. At the time I was there, it was served as a wide-ranging buffet, but I know many places currently don't do that for public health reasons. You did have to pay for breakfast in advance, booking it at reception and then going through, rather than going in and giving your room number. Given the dining hall was off the lobby, that wasn't a major hardship. I mentioned the area not being in the beating heart of Tokyo. Being Japan, there were some convenience stores within yards of the place (and these open 24 hours a day and sell a wide range of food, drink and other items). There were a modest number of well priced restaurants, but this is not a busy area; many of these only opened for lunch and in the evening, rather than being open all day. For joggers, it's a good area in that Tokyo's most famous jogging route (around the moat of the Imperial Palace, 5km per lap) is very close. The etiquette is to go around clockwise, but it you are out at 6am, it's quiet enough to go whichever way. By 7am, it's busier so best to run with the flow (the attached map has a blue cross on, which is roughly where the hotel is... not far from the route at all). Would I stay here again? Probably, especially if I was here for work. It is comfortable and well maintained. As a couple or with family? Possibly, although when visiting Tokyo on holiday, we usually prefer to be in a slightly more lively or connected area (although price and level of service were good, so who knows?).…
Hotel Monterey Hanzomon is situated in a very clean and quite suburb. The train station is opposite the hotel, with a elevator to take your luggage onto the subway. There are many cafes,restaurants, 7-Eleven, and local supermarkets near by. The staff are very polite and can speak English. Didn't have the buffet breakfast, so can't comment on it. The room and bathroom is very clean. They also provide you with Pj's and slippers. The bath products were very nice and had a array of items. There is a laundry mat walking distance from the hotel that only takes 100yen for the use of washing machines and dryers. The hotel is walking distance to the imperial palace and gardens. A lovely location, a lovely stay at the hotel.
The Hotel Monterey Hanzomon has some very good features. Firstly, the rooms were quiet and if the air-conditioning is not right, you can just ring Reception and they will adjust it remotely to whatever temperature is comfortable for you. They have a very good buffet breakfast. The hotel staff are very helpful and polite. Most importantly, the hotel is right across the street from a metro station on the Hanzomon Line. You can just take the lift down to street level, roll your suitcase across the street to the lift, and take the lift right down to platform level. The hotel will sell you discount tickets to get to Narita Airport from the Airport Bus Centre, which is only about 5 stops from the hotel on the Hanzomon line. You can roll your suitcase onto the Metro car and off again at the correct station. If you watch the exits carefully, there is one where you can take the lift up to the Airport Bus Centre. The bus ride to Narita is about 50 minutes. In short, you can go all the way from the Hotel Monterey Hanzomon to Narita Airport and not once have to lift your suitcase, all for a price much cheaper than alternatives. Being so close to the Metro station means it is really easy to get around Tokyo. You can purchase a 72-hour Metro pass and use it as you wish. If the last day when you want to go to Narita is included in the 72 hours from the first use and validation, all you need to pay to get to Narita is 1900 yen for the bus trip.…
This hotel is in front of Hanzomon Metro gate, surrounded by 7 eleven dan Family Mart make it easy to find food and other things. One thing impresses me is they provide toothbrush that accomodate the need of sensitive gum and I am very happy about that. Also this hotel is quite since it dont near any public place.
This is a reasonably priced hotel. Very clean, good location and good breakfast buffet. Nothing fancy but a good place to stay at a good price. Subway station - Hanzomon - is tight across the street! Clean with all the essentials - tooth brush, toothpaste, razor, shower cap,good bed! Even PJs and slippers.
Stayed here a couple of nights before we left Tokyo - great location, and very good value for the city. Very easy to get around with the Subway station literally metres away. We took a queen size room, which made a big difference to us - we are two Europeans, (and neither of us are small...), and we had found the average size of Japanese hotel rooms a little restrictive during our holiday. The queen size was more than adequate. The furniture is a little old-looking, but the service was great. We had a room-only reservation so I can't comment on the food.
A very cosy, very well located hotel, in the center of Tokyo. A few meters from the Hanzomon metro station, very practical. Room was very clean, quite, well equipped, although a bit small (but these are the standards in Tokyo). Breakfast delicious, with a good variety of food, Japanese dishes and international offer. Good value.
I stayed four nights here in October after four nights at APA Hotel Pride Kokkaigijidomae about a mile south. So my frame of reference for the following review is this other hotel which I consider to be in the same price category. I grew up a block away in this Kojimachi neighborhood as a child (many decades ago) so coming here was not only an act of nostalgia but also because I wanted to avoid the more crowded touristy and noisy areas like Shinjuku or Shibuya. The area is a quiet mix of upscale residential and business properties. And yet, because of the proximity to Tokyo Metro's Hanzomon station with an entrance right across the narrow street, you can access all of central Tokyo with ease. Good stuffs: - Proximity to the Hanzomon subway station. - For the price, my Economy Single Room, Non Smoking (1 Single Size Bed) was roomy. Though no closet, there was a useful armoire with coat hangers and racks for shoes. - The bathroom came with a generous array of amenities like a quality toothbrush, shaving razor, which are all replenished every day. - The neighborhood is quiet at night. And because of the huge British Embassy compound nearby, it is well patrolled by Tokyo Metropolitan Police. - I counted at least five combinis (7Elevens, Lawsons, Family Marts) within two minutes walk so there is access to quick and ready-to-eat meals and drinks to bring back to your hotel. There are also cute cozy wine bars and pubs in the neighborhood. - Very friendly and efficient front desk staff. Need improvement stuffs: - My room though clean and tidy (and maintained so everyday by housekeeping) had permanent and highly visible carpet stains and tons of scuffs and chips on the walls. - The elevators stunk on rainy days. - The narrow, long, winding, dark and dreary corridor from the entrance to the front desk lobby is an odd architectural decision. - Basically, the property looks old and dated and is sorely in need of renovation. Considering the location, the ammenities, and what I paid, it was a good value. But if you don't absolutely have to stay in that Kojimachi area, but are looking for a similarly quiet but transportation accessible area, the APA Hotel Pride is a better value because it is fresher looking and more pleasant.…
Our tour group stayed here for the last 2 nights in Japan. After experiencing a string of excellent hotels throughout Japan, we were not disappointed with this one. The rooms were fairly large by Tokyo standards, with all the usual amenities, and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was great and there were plenty of good restaurants within a short walk. Also, the Hanzomon Subway Station was a short walk away making travel to other areas of Tokyo very easy.
Stayed here for 4 nights for the rugby. Some way out from Tokyo city centre but opposite metro station which was easy to use wherever we went. A few nice restaurants nearby. Also 2 convenience stores and a very nice bakery. Very good reception staff who were very friendly and helpful. Room was OK - nothing special, rather small ( not unusual for Japan), clean and well equipped.Room was expensive and not very good value ( unlike other hotels in Japan). Didn't have breakfast as felt,again, it was expensive. If in Japan again, probably wouldn't use again.
