A classic older hotel in a great location in the NE of Tokyo. We stayed there decades ago and wanted to return. We booked a bigger room on an upper floor and loved the views. It’s a huge hotel with minimal service. We missed feeling “taken care of”. It felt more like we were just processed in and out. Also, as an older hotel, there is little control over the temperature in your room. Either the whole hotel has heat or it has air conditioning. In the shoulder seasons where you may need heat one day and AC the next, your room can become uncomfortable. Our room faced east. The morning sun made our room unbearably hot until the sun moved. But the views made our stay memorable. FYI, rooms facing East have great views of the Tokyo Tower. Rooms facing west may get a view of Mount Fuji if the weather cooperates.
