Why People Love It
Unbeatable Ginza location next to Louis Vuitton and Ginza Six
Lobby 'living room' with free coffee, snacks, and arcade games
High-tech rooms with multifunction island tables and Bose speakers
Quick Take: It's a steep price to pay for a hotel with no pool and a vanity sink sitting in the middle of your bedroom.
Reviewed by @simply_capturedmywrld: We saved the best for last! Staying here was the perfect end to our Japan trip. The room is adorable, the beds are clouds, and the bathroom is huge. Totally recommend for a girls' trip or family stay.

Rooms to avoid
Standard King on low floors (3-5) – likely faces a wall or office windows
King Suite on low floors – spacious but looks directly into an office building

“I would appreciate a room on a high floor (10+) to minimize street noise and maximize privacy from the office building across the street. If possible, a room away from the current construction work would be ideal.”
