Nice hotel. Clean. Style. Friendly. Pay ~90 EUR for a single, ~120EUR for a twin which seemed fair. Rooms are obviously small, but normal for Tokyo, I guess. 15 min to metro. Good location.

This is a lovely hotel located about 3 blocks from Akasaka-Mitsuke subway station. The airport bus does not go here so take it to the Excel and grab a taxi from there. It is best if you know the location in Japanese as this is not a big hotel and the taxi drivers are not great at this even with the Garmin! Once there we took business cards from the desk when we traveled to and from Tokyo station. This was most helpful. We also had the staff do the Japanese address for the hotel in Kyoto as well. The staff were most helpful with good English skills. The hotel rooms are SMALL - average by Tokyo standard. Either don't bring a lot of luggage or prepare to leave some of your things packed. The hotel price on the internet was great so we booked the week and traveled from there with the smaller suitcases we brought for the shinkansen - there is little luggage space on Japanese trains. We did not use the restaurant as there are many places to eat near Akasaka-Mitsuke. Amenities were excellent with high speed internet included. We had no problem getting a non-smoking room. We will definitely stay there again.

Stay April 2-4 (3 Nights)
Paid AUD $229 for twin room with internet & newspaper.

It was PEAK time so very high rates and impossible to get in anywhere else in Tokyo.

Location was 300m walk to subway. With a cost of a ticket for up to 9 stops away being a steal at Y160, your close to all Tokyo has to offer. Everthing is not that far away if you are happy to walk. We walked to Shibuya & Shinkjuku, which walking along the local streets was very peaceful away from the crowds.

There is a family mart and 7-11 close by to stock up the fridge in the room ( although it wasnt that expensive and there was a vending machine on our floor)

In room movies are extra at Y1000 which is valid from when you check in until 11am next day. So even if you stay multiple days it cuts out at 11am. Movies are listed in Japanese, but some are english, although most are b and c grade movies. Way to much porn, but it seems to be everywhere in Japan!

We never got bothered to vacate our room for cleaning, twice we left at 12pm enjoying a sleep in and our spacious room.

We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel for 2 nights prior to our stay and 1 night after. Max is 30 days it said on the ticket! Saves you abit on luggage storage as the train station lockers run up until midnight and you have to put more money in the next day to take it out.

I just returned from a week in Tokyo on business and was really pleased with this hotel. I lived in Tokyo for 3 years so have some knowledge of the city.

The Monterey Akasaka is a great value for what it offers. It is spanking new, incredibly clean and one of the most quiet hotels I have ever stayed at in my life. Not what I expected in downtown Tokyo. I am used being woken by hallway and street noise but this did not happen.

Rooms are not overly large, but hey this is Japan and the rates cannot be beat. Rooms are very clean, stylish and filled with lots of great ameneties including all you would expect such as free internet access (not wireless) but cord supplied, nice but small desk, stocked mini-bar, complete bathroom supplies (soap, shampoo, toothbrush, etc).

Location is excellent -- 4 minutes walk downhill to nearest subway Akasaka Mitsukemae on the convenient Marunouchi (red) subway line. Minutes to Tokyo station and all central locations including Roppongi for some evening fun!

I liked the local coffee shop nearby for breakfast and there is a Starbucks by station and lots of 24hour convenience stores.

Hotel staff was professional and helpful, but somewhat reserved. Typical for Japan. I would guess about 40% of guests are non-Japanese business travelers so they are set up for non-Japanese visitors pretty well.

All-in-all I had feeling I was staying at much more expensive hotel than I paid for. Tip - I brought way too much luggage and clothing. Closet is very small! They have same day drop off cleaning service. Next time I will only take 2 suits and use reasonably priced laundry service.

If you go here they will not tell you but you need to insert key in a magnetic holder near door for electricity to turn on -- smart conversation idea as all goes off when you leave. Just a bit hard to find in the dark when I arrived.

I am booking my next trip to this hotel.
