MONday Apart Hamamatsucho Daimon

Location is perfect - close to Daimon and Hamamatsucho station. Close to Tokyo tower and Jojo-ji temple. Clean place, however with the price paid I would have expected daily room cleaning. As a tourist, I was out of the room in the morning and back only to sleep, so making the bed isn’t the end of the world. The fact there is an excellent washing machine/Dryer in the room meant that when we travelled to Kyoto, we had all clean clothes in our bag. Staff were always with a smile, and truthfully after checking in, you don’t really need much from them except a greeting whenever you see them and they did that well. We were leaving on the second day in the morning to explore and one of the receptionist came out with umbrellas for us. I would stay here if I was on a city break with family where I needed to rest my head. The price is high when compared to what I would pay at a double tree, Hampton, courtyard or Moxy in any other major city, but this is Tokyo- food is cheap as chips but the stay is extremely expensive!

The room was really clean and well designed making good use of the space available and making it feel bigger than it was. The beds were comfortable and it had a good size shower room. The washing machine was also modern and easy to use. I liked that we could also control the aircon temperature. Other places we visited had heating very high which can get uncomfortable. The location was very central and had good access to the train station and out to attractions. Also a direct connection to the airport from the Daimon station. Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Not far from stations with plenty of restaurants and konbinis near by. The apartment was very spacious for two and meant we could unpack for our 6 day stay and put our suitcases away - something we hadn’t been able to do in a normal Japanese hotel room in the past. The kitchenette was well stocked for equipment though we didn’t choose to cook there. There was a lovely little dining area. The Japanese style wet room bathroom was good though wouldn’t suit very tall people - I’m 6’1”/183cm and I was ok. There was a washer/dryer which was a bonus.

The apartment was quite small but it had all the creature comforts we needed. All equipment was present and worked well. The apartment was very clean as well. Staff was very friendly, spoke excellent English and helped us with getting around. The main bed was pretty big and comfortable and the bunk beds were sturdy and safe and good to sleep in. We could use the apartment as a comfortable little base to explore the city of Tokyo.

Great amenities in the room, including washer/dryer combo and kitchenette. Having a table for sit down meals is also quite nice. Location is a little bit far from Hamamatsucho station (for Monorail to Haneda and JR lines), but still walkable. It's also a good idea to have consumables like toothbrushes and laundry detergent at the front desk so we can only take what we need. There are some supermarket options within walking distance (Maruetsu Petit, MyBasket), to take advantage of the kitchen facilities. Room cleaning only happens every few days but that's not really a problem for me, but perhaps something to consider.
