Unfortunately, the absence of complimentary drinking water bottles and a precarious “breakfast” offer completely smothered the impression of that hotel. (A recommendation to hotel management is to get rid of that “breakfast offer” altogether and to supply rooms with a few water bottles, a can of soda, and a couple of neutral, common Japanese snacks (e.g. a mochi, a matcha KitKat, a dried seaweed snack).) It also doesn’t help that room’s dimensions are, unequivocally, constrained. Cleanliness appeared thorough. (Cheers to cleaning staff. Well done.) Hotel’s location didn’t appear overwhelmingly tourist-ridden. And, a particularly notable attribute of that area is the concentration of bookstores.

Since I love Jimbocho, its location is perfect for me! all the bookstores and cafes I planned to visit are just a few steps away, 3 metro train lines are nearby as well, I wasn't feeling quite well but I could go back to hotel for a rest easily, just 15mins to Shibuya on Hanzomon line. The room I stayed was quite clean and comfy enough, but the ventilation in the bathroom wasn't good, wet towel wasn't dried up at all overnight, it left some unpleasant musty smell; amenities are plenty, i especially love the sweet black tea and all the bath salt. It was a shame about the ventilation problem in the bathroom, because apart from that, I really liked the experience! hope it can be improved, I would like to stay there again.

I've used this hotel company before and haven't been this disappointed before. The staff were welcoming and kind but the facilities were dust-covered. My AC was spitting dust. There was dust coming from the air purifier. The carpet and behind the TV was dusty. The bathroom had hair on the floor. The bed feel damp and dusty. I won't be using this location again. Jimbocho station is close but difficult to get to from Tokyo station. Ochanomizu station feels like a long walk in the summer heat. The bookstores, food, and 2nd hand shops are the hotel were amazing but I don't think I'd recommend the hotel because of the cleanliness.

Good Hotel close to Tokyo Station

This is a good hotel close to Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace. The room is small but has everything you need in it. We found it very comfortable and the little bathtub suited us as we are small. It was very clean and quiet. The breakfast was not that good and was next door at the Little Mermaid restaurant and consisted most of 3 different buns and a tiny yogurt. This could be improved upon. Also we had to leave early to catch a flight and they would not give us the buns ahead of the official breakfast time. They could have put them in a bag the night before but said I would have to buy them even though I had a voucher. This was the only complaint. They stored our luggage for us for two weeks. Lots of restaurants and shops all around the hotel. Overall I would recommend it. Reasonable price.
