Excellent hotel! The location is super convenient. From T3, head towards Haneda Airport Garden on the second floor, walk through the shopping mall, and you'll reach it directly. It took me about 10 minutes with my suitcase to spot the entrance on the left. The hotel lobby is on the 4th floor. Check-in and check-out were quick and smooth. There's a row of machines in the lobby with multiple language options, so language barriers aren't an issue. You just scan your passport to get your room key card. The rooms are divided into four entrances (A, B, C, D), mainly to separate the elevators.

This time, I chose a ReFa room and was assigned to the 3rd floor. Because I requested a quieter room, it was a bit further from the elevator lobby. For Tokyo standards, the room was quite spacious. The ReFa room came with a ReFa shower head, hairdryer, and two sample packs each of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You can also borrow other ReFa products from the hotel. This room type has a bathtub, which was perfect for me since I didn't have time to go to a hot spring.

Overall, I had a great experience. It's incredibly convenient to go downstairs to the mall for meals, souvenirs, or even a convenience store (Lawson's). Most importantly, it solves the problem of Tokyo's public transport being unfriendly for early morning flights.

This 4-star hotel feels like a 5-star! It's a newly built hotel from 2020. The breakfast is great, and there's a mall nearby for all your dining, shopping, and entertainment needs. It's also very close to the exhibition center, just about a 15-minute walk. Highly recommended!

The location is great if you're going to Odaiba or the exhibition center, but not very convenient for much else. Even the convenience store is a long walk, and there's nothing else around. It's located in an office building. The worst part was: we arrived at noon to check in and leave our luggage, then came back around 4 or 5 PM to get our room key. I don't understand what makes the 'premium king room' premium, especially since I requested a high floor. Instead, we were put on the 2nd floor in room 43, which is the furthest room possible – you have to walk a long way around after exiting the elevator. The lighting was terrible, facing the atrium of the office building/hotel lobby. I don't know if it's because it was an agency booking or something else, but it felt unfriendly. While Japanese hotel facilities are usually well-maintained, you can tell the rooms here are quite old. There was even a smell of sweat coming out of the elevator on the second floor. I'm usually pretty easygoing, but this room felt like a complete rip-off.

This is a continuation of my previous review. I had to book an extra night because I'd initially booked one day less. The hotel was able to merge both bookings when I checked in. Also, some guides mentioned that additional fees might be charged during check-in, but that wasn't the case. I only paid the amount shown on Trip.com, and didn't have to pay anything else upon arrival at the hotel.

The hotel room is large enough to open large suitcases and put down things you’ve shopped. It’s been renovated so the room facilities are modern. Personally the bed is large for 1 person and the pillows provided were soft firm comfortable. The TV has Netflix,Youtube and other Japanese platform apps available alongside with cable tv. Besides the bed there’s a charging plug to insert the adaptor too. There’s also a large table and chair with a built in mini fridge to chill your food/drinks. A standard hotel tea/coffee/water boiler pot is also provided with cups. The entrance rack has a shoehorn which is very useful when wearing shoes, a foldable chair, slippers and etc provided just by the door.

There’s also a humidifier provided for dry winters, and the ac has a dehumidifier mode for humid summers. Washing machines are on the 4th & 7th floor. You can use SUICA card to pay or just use 100 yen coins. You can also use laundry service the hotel provides it if you ask. There’s a laundry list slip form by the hotel lobby along with other hotel amenities + a postal service luggage form to fill and arrange by the hotel staff if you need it.

The hotel location is great when traveling around Tokyo central and surprisingly the nights are peaceful and quiet. I don’t hear other tourists except when I open my hotel door room then there’s other tourists speaking loudly in the hallway and other floors. Most of the floors are accessible without needing to scan your hotel room keycard, so security is a bit of a concern. Hopefully the hotel improves on that.

I did not get breakfast but the breakfast hallway tends to get crowded when I passed by but luckily searching for food isn’t difficult. There’s cafes and restaurants around the area along with several convenience stores (7-Eleven, Family Mart, Lawson and etc). There’s also some drug stores/pharmacy nearby the hotel.

When searching for this hotel and navigating Tokyo Metro, I highly suggest to look for Exit 4, not Exit 3. Then there’s signs for Exit 4b, behind Exit 4b is an elevator. It will be easier for people with large heavy luggages/baby stroller/wheelchair users to use this route. Exit the elevator, walk straight, there should be a Family Mart on your left and across the road would be the hotel entrance.

The location is very convenient. Although it's a few minutes' walk, there are many subway stations nearby, so it's not tiring even with luggage. The front desk is great and offers luggage storage. The hotel is clean, quite spacious, and offers excellent value for money. They even provided samples of Sekkisei, which I'm now interested in buying!

I felt like I was given the wrong room. It was listed as 16m², but it felt nothing like the 16m² rooms I've stayed in at Osaka hotels. This hotel room is genuinely tiny, feeling more like 14m². I could only open one suitcase.

The service was good; they offer free luggage storage, and the front desk staff was excellent. The environment was also pleasant, with fresh air throughout the hotel. Do note that the lobby is underground. The nearest subway station is a bit of a walk.

They only empty the trash and replace towels daily; full room cleaning is only done every three days. The duvet was quite small and uncomfortable to sleep with, but the bed itself was very soft and comfortable.

If you don't mind the small space, I'd generally recommend it. However, I really feel like the front desk gave me the wrong room. Mine was so small, completely incomparable to what I've experienced in Osaka.

A very convenient and reliable stay for solo travellers. The biggest advantage is its direct connection to TCAT (Tokyo City Air Terminal)—you can get from the airport bus straight into the building without stepping outside, which makes arrivals and departures incredibly smooth. The hotel is also close to multiple train lines, so getting around Tokyo is effortless.
Rooms are compact but well‑designed, clean, and quiet, offering everything needed for a comfortable, fuss‑free stay. Staff are polite, efficient, and helpful in the classic Tokyo style. It’s not a luxury property, but the combination of safety, convenience, and strong value makes it an excellent base for solo travel.

I arrived quite late due to a night flight, but the front desk staff was still available to check me in. The night view was absolutely stunning; the garden on the 14th floor, combined with the misty rain, made for incredibly picturesque photos (I'm terrible at photography, so I couldn't do it justice!). The front desk provided a full array of toiletries and towels, and the bed was very comfortable, though the room was a bit small. I thought all restaurants in the Minato area would be closed after midnight, but I found a small eatery just a 10-minute walk away. The food was delicious and quite affordable!

Before check in time I left our luggage there and came back at 10pm, I was pleasantly surprised when they kept our luggage in our room.On rainy days they place some umbrellas at the entrance for guests to use. Reception staffs were all very pleasant and very helpful. Thank you for your hospitality 🥰. Laundry machine only 2 available and we had to check every night to see if it was available.Managed to use it on our last day.Walkable distance to few metro station.I did enjoy my stay here

Relatively new hotel in Umeda so condition still fine. The location is good because the whole Osaka Umeda station area is well connected, but the underground paths can be confusing because it is massive and you can get lost if you don't have a good sense of direction. In general, you can get to the hotel via Whity underground mall from JR or Hankyu station, look for Whity mall map online to have a better understanding of which exit to take (go to Whity East mall). Plenty of food options both above ground and underground.
Booked the superior double room which has an excellent open square layout instead of the typical hallway layout, so you have room to open your luggage case on the floor. 
The buffet breakfast was excellent, you can order either grilled salmon or mackerel, with plenty of other dishes. The matcha pudding was so good. The Japanese aunties working at the restaurant were so friendly. 
The public bath (not hot spring water, just hot water) was nice but I felt the water temperature was too high compared to the other baths I went to in Japan. The hot stone area was interesting but also too hot for me 😅

This is my second time staying here. It's really convenient, quite close to both JR Sannomiya and Hankyu Sannomiya stations. Right next to the hotel there's a really well-stocked Hankyu OASIS supermarket, which is super handy for groceries. The hotel rooms are clean, and they offer complimentary tea and drinks from afternoon till evening, plus there's a happy hour.
