Toyoko Inn Tameike-sannou-eki Kantei-minami

Good breakfast : Onigiri (rice ball) miso soup a couple different vegetables and bun. Location is ok. if you know the way, You have to walk pass security gate to get to hotel. otherwise this is a standard Toyoko inn. room a little small and have to walked through 3 different subway line and building to got out. (just walked straight to exit 7)

This hotel is new and room was clean.I have stayed at Toyoko Inn hotels in various areas of Japan before, and this hotel is average like other Toyoko Inn.Room was small but enough for sleeping unless you have many luggage nor anticipate amenities in staying at the hotel.Being a member of Toyoko Inn, earlier check-In(just one hour earlier)was applied.Located at the center of Tokyo, several lines of Tokyo metro are available, and the nearest station is Tameike- Sanno, which has two lines. There are some stations of metro around the hotel as Akasaka Station, Kokkaigijidomae Station, Toranomon Station and Akasakamitsuke Station. Tameike-Sannno station is the nearest. Located a little away from the big street, firstly, difficult to find,but not too hard to find. Some say this hotel is the safest hotel in Japan since located at the next to premier's mansion, can see a large number of police men standing around the hotel. If cannnot find the hotel, asking the police man the lacation is solution.Around the hotel, there are too many restaurants. In Akasaka area, many restaurants as Korean foods restaurants are there. Roppongi is near, too.

Having tried this chain in Korea, I wished to do so in Japan too. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Location is good, with several metro lines very close by, and the lively Akasaka neighborhood only 10 mn walk away. Being next to the PM's official residence, security is top notch :) My room was clean and highly functional, if relatively small (but no worse than some rooms in London for example). Service is friendly, but the staff's English is almost as limited as my Japanese. Overall, a very good no-frills deal.
