I have stayed in quite a few hotels in Tokyo and so the fact that my Double Room in Hotel Villa Fontaine Jimbocho was very small was no surprise. The whole hotel though did not feel welcoming and it was very basic. The lobby was down a floor from the entrance and made the whole thing feel a little closed in, dull and depressing... It could do with a brighten up. My bed was comfortable and the bathroom perfectly functional. The cost was only GB£55 a night so very reasonable for Tokyo. In summary I would not stay here again but it served me well for the two nights business I had in Tokyo. i would not have wanted to stay here more than a couple of nights though.

I needed a hotel stay as a plan B so I booked it (unfortunatelly had no time to read all the reviews) in the morning and arrived the same day. Opted for breakfast as I was traveling with a 5-years old son so this was a must. Let me state the good thing first - the bed is very comfortable, staff is friendly (bad Englush though). Otherwise - hotel is outdated and the breakfast is a joke. The description on the booking.com says "simple Western dishes". In reality, the staff at the reception gives you a box with two small sendwiches (ham and fried shripms) and a yoghurt. Youu can also select water, juice, coffee and black tea. So much about "western dishes". You can eat it "in the lobby or in the room" as they tell you. In the lobby, there are no tables and the table in the room is big enough only for 1 person. Not to mention that there is only 1 chair in the room ... Eventhough we were 2, my son didn't receive his own breakfast box. When they cleaned the room after the first day, they took one set of towels away and left us only one. What a shame. The nearest metro exit is Nr. 5, but has no elevator or escalator. If you're coming with a heavy luggage, this might be a problem. Exit nr. 9 has elevator but is a bit further away (see picture).
