Smile Hotel Nihonbashi Mitsukoshimae

I was there for 6 nights, friendly staff, good location 5 minutes walk for metro station which, too many choices for having lunch dinner or drinks, rooms are small but they used space efficiently, unfortunately furniture was too old for example washbasin was broken and fixed with glue. room service was acceptable but some how the housekeepers did it with delay. Breakfast didn't have variety.

I booked the hotel with a promotion without shopping around and I was surprised to find out how great it is. The room is small as expected for Japanese hotels but I am impressed how efficient the design is. It has everything including dimmable bed lights. It is in a perfect location, walking distance to multiple metro lines and the Tokyo station. All types of restaurants around the building and a grocery store opened at 7:00am with daily fresh prepared bento boxes. Recommended to anyone interested to stay in the area.

I stayed here for 8 nights on my first ever trip to Japan, it's a great location with several Metro Stations nearby and about an 8-10 minute walk from Tokyo Station. It's in a nice area with several conbinis convenience stores within a 3 minute walk, both Family Mart and 7-11 and a supermarket, very handy. The staff were very kind and friendly and polite and made me feel very welcome. the room was super clean and fresh and the bed was beautifully comfortable with all the amenities you would expect in a Japanese Hotel. There was a kettle and a fridge, so I could buy milk and tea and make my tea just how I like back home. There were vending machines selling drinks, a laundry room with washing machines and dryers and a microwave should you want to warm up a quick snack. I didn't book the breakfast option but I did buy the breakfast for two of the mornings and it's a typical Japanese Breakfast which I found perfectly delicious and set me up for the morning, Those not used to a Japanese Breakfast might prefer to go somewhere else for brekkie. There is an amazing French Coffee Shop underneath the Mitsukoshimae Station where you can get croissants and pain au chocolat and great coffee if you prefer. Room size was perfect for me as a solo visitor a nice wide bed, a desk and a chair, typical sized Japanese bath which is always short and deep as how they bathe. I would 100% book this hotel again for my next visit to Tokyo as for my needs v budget it was perfect. My only 1 criticism if any is that the window is frosted and only opens slightly at an angle, so you can see out of it if you open it but you can't really sit in bed and look out the window. But to be honest it was fine, I was up and out early and back later in the day, so wasn't really spending time in the room staring out the window. House-keeping was spot on, made the bed every day, fresh towels and Japanese Pyjamas and slippers. One of the nights I stayed elsewhere so just left the hotel that night and returned the following night. If you have any doubts about booking this place then don't have any doubts just book it.
