Very nice hotel, location is very good... easy access to everything. Staff was helpful but not over nice. Room was very comfortable and had a breathtaking view over Tokyo. I was there on business and had to stay for 5 nights. Everything went smoothly

We stayed 2 days first, then away for 2 days, and back for another five. First 2 days we were upgraded to a suite with a fantastic living room and 2 bathrooms. Next 5 days were in a large sized double with great view from 30th floor. All this for about £75 a night! Location is good and 2 mins walk from subway entrance. The staff make it seem like a much smaller family run hotel, they are so helpful and polite. Styling is a bit 'retro' but we quite liked the quirkiness, and preferred this to the usual sterile hotel room environment. Finally, we left our passports and money in the safe. After calling them they were incredibly helpful and forwarded our things very promptly by special delivery to our next hotel. This is expensive to do in Japan, and they did it free of charge because we stayed 7 days. I think that sums up the attitude at this excellent hotel. We will be staying again!!

This is a very nice hotel in a very good neighborhood. We paid $140 for some nights, and could have gotten a lower price if we'd paid in advance. I'll say it flat out: that's one of the best hotel bargains I've ever seen.

The staff is spectacular -- very helpful and polite. 24-hour internet access in the lobby, but only one computer. It was busy less than half the time. Small irritation. There's a good, dirt-cheap bakery around the corner, and a subway stop for the Ginza line is a three-minute walk.

The room was a good size, and since every room in the hotel is above the 20th floor the views are amazing.

The decor is definitely dated from the 70s, but it's not like it was dirty or anything. And some rooms have lousy air conditioning. I called the front desk and they got it fixed -- somehow without actually visiting the room. The second room we got, on a later stay, had a better system that worked right away.

The Akasaka area is fun even if you're only slightly adventurous, turning borderline red-light late at night. (Every time we walked nearby streets someone would ask if we'd be interested in going to a bar with topless women.) On the plus side, it was always lively, and easy to find snacks and beer to bring back to the hotel.

By the way, this hotel is also called the Akasaka Prince on some websites, and some cabdrivers only know that name.

We stayed here for 2 nights in Sept 07 and were most impressed by everything this hotel has to offer.

The hotel is close to many Japanese & Western restaurants and the rail station. The service was brilliant even by Japanese standards - nothing was too much trouble and the Concierge and Porter were most helpful.

The highlight was the room. After 5 weeks of European rooms this was palacial in size and facilities.

We obtained a good rate through Priceline but beware the service charge and consumption tax that add 10% & 5.5% to your on-line quoted room rate.

We would certainly stay there again and recommned it to others.

PS - if you're new to Tokyo as we were, English language ATMs can initially be quite hard to find but are often in the small 7/11 style supermarkets and Post Offices.
