히가시긴자역 (Higashi-Ginza Yeok) × 웰컴 라운지에서 쉴 수 있는 숙소평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

As always, it was excellent. I stayed for two nights again this time, and it’s very convenient with both Higashi-Ginza Station and Tsukiji Shijo Station nearby. I spoke to the staff at mealtimes and when finishing. Their cheerful voices really energize me from the morning. The Room, bath, and service are all great. I will stay again—thank you in advance.

This is my regular Accommodation when I’m on business in Tokyo. It’s centrally located in Ginza, with easy access to shopping and restaurants. I also appreciate that there are no unnecessary services. The cloakroom service is efficient and professional. There seem to be many international guests, and the overall atmosphere feels refined. I’d like to stay here again.

About a three-minute walk from the Kabuki-za Theatre, it was very convenient—I could return right away even after the evening performance ended. This time I stayed on the Executive Floor, so in the evening I relaxed at the bar, enjoying drinks and hors d’oeuvres while taking in Ginza’s streetscape and night views. The platter included smoked salmon and prosciutto, and I could also choose pickles and nuts; it was great that these were included. For alcohol there was champagne, several wines, whisky, and sake, but cocktails were charged separately. I took some soup back to my Room and it was delicious, but carrying hot soup to the Room in a paper cup felt unsafe. The Room was a twin; not spacious, but it had a separate bathroom with a rain shower. There is a washing area, but no space for changing clothes. When I first entered the Room, it was lovely that the curtains opened with music. The view faced another building, but I could still enjoy some night scenery at an angle. Many of the staff were non-Japanese, but their Japanese was fluent and polite. On departure day when I asked about transportation to Yokohama, I was told to walk to Ginza Station rather than use nearby Higashi-Ginza Station—but you can go directly from Higashi-Ginza Station too, right? When pulling a suitcase through Ginza, shorter is better—so why?

Business Trip Compared to during the COVID-19 period, amenities have been simplified quite a bit, but everything you need is still provided. In particular, the free evening cafe bar time is enjoyable even if you don’t drink alcohol. The staff were attentive at all hours, which made for a very pleasant stay. This time I stayed in a single Room for business, and I appreciated that the Room setup was thoughtfully arranged for that purpose. Each day I walked to the work site, and when I returned to the Hotel, I relaxed in the large public bath to soothe the day’s fatigue. In the morning, I woke up and opened the curtains to take in views of Ginza. It was an excellent business trip.

Check-in and check-out were easy and smooth. It was said to be a few minutes from Shimbashi Station, so I tried walking, but it wasn't a distance to walk while pulling a carry case... I used a taxi on the way back. I spent time at the bar on the first floor, which is easy to use, and in the morning I had coffee and lined up for free pancakes. The Room was equipped with speakers, so I spent my time listening to music. I'm someone who likes soaking in bathtubs, so I thought it was unfortunate, but there were showers from above and from the side as well; even though it was a cold winter, it surprisingly wasn't cold. I could spend my time without any worries, which was very nice. I would like to use it again if there is an opportunity!

Staff warmly welcomed us at the entrance. Check-in and check-out were self-service via machines, but staff assistance made the process smooth. We received six coins for two people to use at the first-floor café during our stay. It was an unexpected and delightful gift. The number of coins required for each item was displayed, making it fun to choose. The public bath was clean and pleasant, especially in the evening when it wasn’t crowded. As mentioned in previous reviews, the shampoo and conditioner were excellent. There is also a refreshment space with a coffee machine available anytime. As a coffee lover, I appreciated having four options like espresso to choose from. However, I thought it would be nice if tea or green tea options were available for those who don’t drink coffee. Dinner came with an in-room dining plan delivered by a robot directly to our room. The meal included a main dish, salad, and sweets—all generous portions with great presentation and delicious taste. The room also had a foldable desk and microwave for added convenience. Despite labor shortages affecting service quality elsewhere recently, this hotel stood out with its attentive staff who offered kind words not only during check-out but even as we exited through the entrance door—making our stay truly pleasant.

The hotel staff are friendly, the environment is comfortable, and the location is convenient for shopping.
