Location to Tsukiji market is perfect. Walk out of the hotel door, turn right, walk several steps, and you'll be in the middle of the vendors selling everything from seafood, sweets, ramen, sushi, pickles, knives, etc. I had a nonsmoking "moderate" size room on the 8th floor. The room contained a 31.5" flat screen tv with mostly Japanese programs. CNN is in English. There is a mini fridge that is 12" wide and 14" high. I could fit several drinks, a sandwich, and a small salad in there. There is a desk which is 29" away from the bed. A rolling chair fits under the desk, but it is better to turn the chair sideways facing the tv so you can stretch your legs. The bed was about 55.5" wide. The room size is typical of other Japanese hotel rooms (ie small). The hall is 36" wide. The room also has a trouser press, a humidifier, a folding luggage stand, a washer/dryer combo unit, microwave, and a/c unit. With the suitcase on the stand, it was difficult to open the bathroom door all the way. The trouser press is folded up against the wall, but the metal legs will hook your pants as you walk by if your suitcase is too close to it. The hall is short so putting the suitcase closer to the door will impede your entry and exit from the room. The a/c did an adequate job of cooling the room all night. The room was quiet and outside noise was barely noticeable. The reception employees answered questions about the metro, the washer, transportation to the airport, they helped us figure out the LINE messaging app, and even mailed a parcel to a different part of Japan and they did all of it in a polite, respectful, and prompt manner. Note: The washer also dries the clothes in the same unit. The washer door will remain locked until the machine cools down after the drying cycle (safety feature). There are mini sized toothpaste and hairbrushes by the elevator as well as free teabags. The lobby was always clean and there is free coffee for the guests. The lobby has a machine for ice and you can buy beverages from another vending machine. Note: the room is not cleaned everyday if you stay longer than 7 days. Hang the bath towels on the shower rod to dry. It wasn't a problem for me. The nearest subway station is the Tsukiji Station by the Tsukiji Hongangji temple (about a 4 min. walk). It made for a good landmark reference when coming or going to the hotel. A Starbucks is across the street from the Honganji subway entrance. Hoshino Coffee is across the street from the Tsukiji market (heading in the direction of the Ginza) and serves good coffee. Walking to the Ginza is a 15-20 min. walk up the street. It is really easy to get to. A Jonathan's restaurant and a Lawson convenience store is around the corner from the hotel (3 min walk). The best part of the hotel is the location. I could try something different every morning from different Tsukiji vendors. I could also buy souvenirs from the vendors and put them back in my room before setting off to explore another part of Tokyo.
