아리아케 × 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I chose this Hotel to see a musical at EX Theater Ariake and because it has parking. EX Theater Ariake is in the next building across the road, about a 3-minute walk away, so it was very convenient. I arrived slightly before the check-in time, but they still accommodated me. I stayed in a Standard Double Room. The Room size is about what you would expect from a Business Hotel, but the bathroom was not a unit bath, so it felt more spacious. Considering this is Tokyo, I think the value for money is reasonable. However, I think there is room for improvement in how seating is assigned at breakfast. As a senior couple, we wanted to enjoy breakfast in as quiet an area as possible, but we were seated in a section with several families with small children. The children could not sit still and kept standing up from their seats. It would be better to seat such families together in one area so they can eat comfortably without worrying about others, while couples, senior couples, and business travelers could be seated in a separate area farther away. The breakfast selection itself was excellent.

I stayed here to attend a live show at Tokyo Garden Theater. It’s not far from the nearest stations on the Rinkai Line or the private Yurikamome Line, and it’s right next to Ariake Garden, with an Onsen, theaters, and shopping. You can even get there from the Hotel without an umbrella on rainy days. I’ve never stayed at such a convenient Hotel before. The Hotel was also very clean, and the seafood rice bowl at breakfast is something you rarely find elsewhere. The staff were always smiling, and I’d definitely like to stay here again for my next concert. Tokyo Disneyland is also within about 30 minutes, which is great for families who want to split up and do different things.

We were able to stay at a great rate with IKYU benefits! The hotel was clean, and it felt nice that the housekeeping staff greeted us when we passed in the hallway. My companion was happy there was a convenience store in the building. It seems many guests stay for longer periods. I think they streamline what they can to keep prices low. Having a coin laundry was also very helpful.

Every time Comiket came around, I really wanted to stay here, but I could never get a Reservation and ended up booking other nearby Hotels. This time, I finally got to stay. It was close to the waiting line, and the room size and Facility were more than enough if you’re just coming back to sleep. It’s not enough to lower my rating, but there was a light layer of dust on the humidifier, so it would be good to wipe it down. I hope I can book again someday. Thank you very much.

The Room was comfortable and easy to relax in. The shower had decent water pressure even on a high floor, which was great. There was a welcome drink, and the breakfast was higher quality than typical Hotel buffets—everything was delicious. There aren’t many places to eat nearby, such as restaurants or izakayas, but there is a Lawson convenience store close by.

Stayed for one night to watch a tennis match in Ariake. The Room was smaller than expected with no space to relax, but it was fine since I only needed a place to sleep. The amenities were eco-friendly (no individual packaging, etc.), but as they were from Crabtree & Evelyn, the scent and usability were excellent. I didn't use the dinner service, but I did enjoy the breakfast buffet. The variety and taste were more than satisfactory. The breakfast venue was crowded, so there was a short wait. The front desk staff were efficient yet polite in their guidance, which was very pleasant. The complimentary cookies were also delicious!
