I had a chance to stay at the Tokyo Station Hotel, so I’ll try to write down a few things.

After all, it’s in a great location, directly connected to Tokyo Station, just a short walk after arriving on the Shinkansen. Even if you take a cab home after having dinner and drinks in Ginza, it is only five minutes and one meter away. Some rooms have a view of the ticket gates and the dome, which is exciting.

If you stay here on a weekday, you may feel a sense of immorality when you see the ticket gate in the morning while taking a shower and putting on your bathrobe. This is a spot where you can have a sense of immorality.
From the room, you can see the neoclassical domed ceiling. The room has a neoclassical domed ceiling with carvings of an eagle and the eight signs of the Chinese zodiac, which is technically a blend of Japanese and Western styles. The building is supported by Doric orders, and has an atmosphere of ancient Greek architecture, so it can be said to be in the vein of neoclassicism.

But well, the reason why you shouldn’t stay here, as I mentioned at the beginning, is simply because it’s incredibly small.

The rooms are so small!

The size of the hotel room does not match the size of the furniture at all.
The rooms are so small that you will have a hard time even walking through the side of the room with a 1.8m x 2m bed tucked in. There is a glass table in the area where the ottoman (footrest) is supposed to be, and I feel like I might kick it over.

The room is too small for two adults to stay in, although a small person might be able to relax. It’s perfect if you think of it as a business hotel-like space that has been forced to be stylish. To begin with, the six-light chandelier is used for toilets in Europe. Here, too, you can catch a glimpse of the blend of Japanese and Western styles.

The hallway is too long!

I walked to my room with a bellhop, but because the hotel is too long horizontally, I had to walk down a long hallway for many minutes to get to my room.

I said to my companion

“I was shocked to hear my companion say, “If we walk this far, we’ll end up at Shinagawa Station.

I was shocked to hear my companion say, “If you walk this far, you’ll end up at Shinagawa Station,” but that’s exactly what happened.

We had a reservation at the Blanc Rouge restaurant in the hotel and walked down the long corridor to get there. When we were seated, I remembered that I forgot to bring my own wine, so I went to get it, but it took me a long time even though I walked fast.

“By the time I returned, I was told, “Did you go to Burgundy to get it?

By the time I returned, I was told, “Did you go to Burgundy to get it?

Another fatal point was

Poor ventilation (air conditioning).

The windows are closed, the corridors are long, and the rooms are small, so the air quality is very poor.
Of course, if you take a shower in a 30-square-meter space without ventilation, you’ll feel like you’re in a cage. My companion was so uncomfortable that he woke up around 3 a.m. and went outside to get some fresh air, but the front door was closed for the night, so he went to the main entrance, and when he came back, the morning sun had already risen….

When I came back, the sun had risen….

Anyway, it’s better to stay in a junior suite or ambassador suite at least.

So, Tokyo Station Hotel, or rather Tokyoites, love small places! That’s what I mean. If you’re like me, you’ve just come from the countryside like Shizuoka, or you’ve just moved to Tokyo from an elegant mansion in Kansai, be careful.
