Sotetsu Grand Fresa Tokyo-Bay Ariake

Conveniently located near various attractions and amenities, the accommodation provides a wide range of facilities and a rich breakfast with a cherry blossom view. Guests appreciate the attentive staff and smooth check-in process.

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Tokyo-Bay Ariake is formerly known as Hotel Sunroute Ariake. It is a four-star hotel on the first hotel stop of Airport Limousine via Toyosu Station from Narita Airport during the last ride with a travel fare of 3100 Yen. This hotel has changed its method of checking-in guests after the covid epidemic spread to Japan. Guests have to learn to check-in and check-out at the machines themselves because the hotel staff is not at the reception after midnight until 6 am. Guests also have to collect their toothbrushes, toothpaste and razors at the lobby as none are found in the rooms where other toiletries and hair dryers are found. Guests can buy breakfast before 6 am at Lawson, which is located in the hotel building on the second floor. In the Single room, there is a comfortable sofa seat in front of the bed but the table does not have enough space to put a laptop on. The hotel is 200 metres away from Panasonic Center, about 300 metres away from Kokusai-tenjijo Station of Rinkai Line, 1.3 km away from Tokyo Big Sight and less than 1 km from Yurikamome Ariake Station. It is convenient to travel from Ariake to Hamamatsucho Station for a transfer ride to Haneda Airport, Tokyo. The hotel is cheap to stay on days before major events such as JATA Tourism Expo and Japan International Aerospace Exhibition but it is too expensive to book the actual days of the exhibitions even if the booking dates are five months ahead of the actual events. Nevertheless, I may consider this hotel if I were to re-visit Tokyo Big Sight.

Great location, although the place smelled of cigarettes. They need to probably change all the carpets in the whole building to get rid of the smell. The TV movies are added on, which means you need to pay extra. They should have included this in the price. We knew the difference as we stayed at an APA hotel before coming to this hotel.
