Clean and convenient. The room I got was just big enough for two people. However the bathroom basin was weirdly angled so we didn’t have enough space to put our toiletries. Otherwise everything was good.

Before travelling we emailed the hotel with a bunch of questions and they responded very quickly. Upon check in they had notes with some of the questions we had asked previously. Our room was amazing! Very spacious and included a free minibar. Location was also top notch. Right beside the metro and steps away from the Imperial Palace.

The hotel is in a great location next to a subway, however the rooms are small and dont have a Japanese style. The rooms look like they could be anywhere. They are clean and the shower was great. The service of the staff on reception was very different depending who was available at the time. This is meant to be a 4 star hotel, but has the service of a 2 star to 3 star. Some of the front staff didn’t speak basic English which is very surprising in a 4 star hotel. Also the service was lacking. Many little things were made an issue, like asking for water. Everything had a cost. There is a cafe on site next to the front desk but the staff are quite rude as hotel guests aren’t allowed to use it, which no one tells you. I sat in the cafe for less than 10 minutes and was told that was very unusual and I should move. The only positive of this hotel was that there were 2 members of staff who made my stay bearable and treated me with respect. They were also very helpful and polite. Without Miku and Joohoung it would have been a truly disastrous experience.

This was our favorite hotel on our trip and I was actually sad that we only got to stay for one night until continuing onto our next spot. The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast at the cafe was tasty. We had forgotten a blanket in the room after checkout and contacted the staff. They were very helpful and were able to send it in the mail to our next hotel! Above and beyond service!

A very good hotel just across the road from the Imperial Palace (which unfortunately although in nice, publicly accessible gardens, is completely screened off from the public by the perimeter walls unless it's "open") and is yards from a subway station. We were given a room upgrade (very nice) and were really impressed. Lovely staff. Happy to recommend.
