Yaesu Terminal Hotel

I visited Tokyo during the peak of this year’s cherry blossom season and this hotel struck a great balance between value and comfort. It’s a five-minute walk from both Tokyo Station and the Nihonbashi subway station (and if you’re catching the airport bus to Narita, the stop is a stone’s throw from the hotel entrance). My room was spotless and comfortable and ideal for a solo traveller - even with two suitcases, I didn’t feel cramped. I’m looking forward to staying again when I visit Tokyo in the future! (The hotel also recently added a self-service laundry room, which is a great touch.)

Yaesu Terminal hotel was a mixed bag for me, for one I really like the location - just 5 minutes from Tokyo station, I also really appreciated the amenities that they had out in reception free of charge, and the coffee machine that was quick and easy to grab on the way out or on the way back up to the room. what I did not like was the absolute and complete lack of any and all space in the rooms. we were in a twin room, and there was about 20cm between the beds...which was the only place we could fit out 3 cases! there just wasn't enough space in the room for two people, plus bags and cases, plus shopping with us both trying to change at the same time unless someone changed in the bathroom. the lack of space was very frustrating on more than one occasion. The bathroom was also small, the toilet was so close to the wall i couldn't really sit on it properly, but the water pressure in the room was good and the fact the room had a fridge was very helpful too. The hotel is a short walk away from a 7/11, Lawson and family mart as well aa gorgeous department store, the Pokémon Café, a Coco's curry house, and a 24 hour Matsuya! as well as being close to Tokyo station it was also close to Nihonbashi station too. overall, the room was not what I would have chosen for myself but the hotel was selected FOR US as we were part of a tour, so made do for the time we were there, and the area was good for the transport links.

Best location 😀 A hotel where you can spend as little time as possible walking in the hot outside and inside. It was a hotel as soon as I went underground from the Yaesu exit and went up to the ground at the Ramen Yokocho. The room was small, but given the location and price, it was enough to sleep! This is recommended if you are based at Tokyo Station. The bus to Haneda was also close by, so I was able to keep my luggage at the hotel and play until the last minute. Nihonbashi Takashimaya was also 5 minutes walk away 🛍️
