Hotel Global View Urawa

This was my first stay.It was a twin Room, and both the Room and the beds were spacious and comfortable.I also liked that the loungewear was pajama-style.Bottled water was provided, so I used it to make coffee (I bought the coffee at a convenience store).If I have the chance, I’d like to stay again.

I stayed here as a base for sightseeing in Tokyo.The location is excellent. Urawa Corso and Isetan are about a 1-minute walk away, so shopping is easy. I needed extra clothes during my trip and was able to buy them quickly at UNIQLO, which was very helpful. There’s also a convenience store nearby, making it easy to pick up small items and drinks.Breakfast exceeded my expectations, with a wide variety of dishes and very satisfying overall (they even served eel on the day I stayed). The breakfast venue is on an upper floor with nice views and an open feel. The view overlooks the Urawa city area, so it’s more about enjoying the cityscape than dramatic scenery.The Hotel facilities seemed recently renovated and were clean overall. Some areas do show their age, but nothing caused any inconvenience.One thing I noticed: although I had reserved a non-smoking Room, there was a faint smell of tobacco in the Room. It may be lingering from before the renovation, but sensitive guests might find it noticeable.Overall, with its great location and excellent breakfast, I would recommend this Hotel for stays related to sightseeing in Tokyo or visits to the Urawa/Omiya area.
