"We only booked this hotel for 1 night, but after staying there, wished we booked a longer stay. It is conveniently located near to major sights, such as the Senso-ji Temple, Ueno park, Akihabara Electric Town and the famous 'Kitchen Street'. There is a subway stop right outside the hotel, as well as another line a short distance away. It's also a stop on the Airport shuttle bus, which is very convenient. What I liked most about this hotel was it's 70's art deco structure, the crimson and gold palette which has retained it's refined character even through upgrades and modernisation. There is a grand foyer with a well staffed front desk, as well as a concierge and smartly uniformed bell hops who are very welcoming and attentive. It felt like being in a movie.
Next, the room and views were outstanding! Very spacious room, comfortable beds, with all the conveniences. We couldn't ask for more. The top floor restaurant and bar offers a panoramic view of the city. It was a perfect place to relax with a cocktail and watch the city lights below.
I had almost booked the new extension of the hotel (Roku Annex) across the street, which looked very nice and modern online, but I'm so glad we went with the older, tried and true original. It was 5/5 stars!"
