Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier

Since it’s just one stop from Tokyo Station on the Sobu Rapid Line, I initially wondered if the access might be a bit inconvenient. However, after past experiences feeling overwhelmed by large groups of foreign tourists, I thought it might actually be quieter—and chose this hotel.It turned out to be absolutely the right choice.The Room was spacious enough for two people, and the large public bath was roomy and spotless. It was pleasantly uncrowded at just the right times, so we enjoyed it both at night and in the morning.At night, there was no noise from nearby rooms, and I was able to relax and sleep well.The standout feature was breakfast.These days it’s rare to see so many staff members on hand—everyone worked efficiently while greeting guests warmly. Both the side dishes and rice were delicious.A chef at the Japanese food station served corn takikomi rice and recommended their shaved ice as well, mentioning that even the syrups were homemade.I had matcha syrup with condensed milk, and my friend had Kaga roasted hojicha syrup with condensed milk. The ice was wonderfully fluffy, the syrups were rich in flavor, and the condensed milk had a clean sweetness—it was honestly the best shaved ice I’ve ever had.The front desk staff were also kind, efficient, and a pleasure to interact with.I’ll definitely stay here again when my friend visits Tokyo next time.Thank you very much.

It’s becoming my regular Accommodation for trips to Tokyo. I’m always very satisfied with the staff’s excellent service, the cleanliness of the Room, and especially the breakfast.This time, though, I felt it wasn’t really “Premier.”First, the disposable slippers that used to be in the Room were gone. When I asked at the front desk, I was told they had discontinued them. Maybe because there are many international travelers, or perhaps a cost-cutting measure under the name of being eco-friendly… That said, they told me they could bring them to my Room upon request. I prefer relaxing barefoot in the Room, so I asked—sorry for the trouble.Also, there is an amenity bar in front of the elevator to the guest floors, but compared with recent Business Hotels it felt limited in variety and somewhat poorly arranged.The breakfast I was most looking forward to was delicious. However, it was a bit warm and humid inside; if it were a little cooler, I think I could enjoy it even more.The building is directly connected to the station and convenience stores, and there are many commercial buildings nearby so dining options are plentiful. It’s one of my favorite Hotels, so I hope to see improvements.
