Top Hotels Near Akasaka Palace in Tokyo from NZ$137

"It’s a clean hotel 10 min walk from Shinjuku station. But rooms are quite cramped. The hallway is not wide enough to open a large (30 in) suitcase. It’s ok for a short business trip and just a small (26 in) suitcase, but probably too small if you are staying longer and do lots of shopping (I.e it won’t work if you are a couple traveling with two large suitcases per person)"

"The hotel is a great location. Bus from airport stops only 1 block from hotel. Beware the shower area includes a Japanese style. Have to work out the shower in the bathtub. Only bbc news English Channel. There is a Macas and a English pub nearby for cheap eats."

"Horrible Breakfast selection. All BF needed to be cooked in your room(MIcrowave) !! For a hotel that caters mainly to foreigners, the selection was terrible"

"It’s a small but very clean and nice room. The only “complaint” I’d have is the lack of AC (you have to open the window). Other than that, the staff was very friendly and it’s a nice hotel. "

"This is a beautiful hotel aesthetically speaking; the rooms are bright and spacious; and the reception staff are excellent. It is, however, expensive and this coupled with some glaring negatives means tourists should book with open eyes. First, the hotel is far from most locales tourists want to frequent — it is essentially in the ‘burbs. There are very few cafes and restaurants nearby - outside the hotel. Most ridiculously, there is a cafe in the lobby where one can buy coffee and a croissant (for, say, breakfast) but no place to eat…no seats/stools in the cafe; those are reserved for those having the buffet. A sign in the cafe says: no sitting and eating in the lobby or on the rooftop terrace. When we asked where we could eat we were told to walk 15 minutes to the park, pay Y500 to enter the park and eat there! What the hell? That’s absolutely nuts!!! This is not how paying guests should be treated! "

"The breakfast was excellent. The room was super clean."

"The staff are amazing in terms of being helpful. "

"Beautiful property that is very well maintained. The staff was very helpful. The property is very large and you can get lost! There two hotels that are attached. The Otani main and the New Otani Garden. The hotel(s) remind me of the ones in Las Vegas, only a lot cleaner and nicer. There are a lot of high end stores on the lowers floors of the New Otani Garden hotel. There are many different restaurants in the hotel. We tried several and the food was excellent. They have their own private garden attached to the hotel. It is quite beautiful. The ponds are filled with the largest Koi I have seen."

"On the downside, the hotel is a bit dated, and some areas like the hallway and elevators could use maintenance. Overall, it’s a practical choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay with essential comforts, but don’t expect luxury."
