This hotel was fantastic - stylish and new, with an excellent and friendly staff. The hotel itself is hip and fun, but it has real comfort and service as well as style.
The room (I stayed in an Essential King, booked with reward nights) had a very comfortable bed, comfortable pillows, and thoughtful and effective layout between the sleeping area and bathroom area to make the most of the small room size. It also had a built in bench near the window, which was a nice touch. If I stayed here again, I'd try to upgrade to a Superior room for a slightly larger room size, as it was a bit hard to manage keeping multiple pieces of luggage in the room.
The hotel itself is great, and had a lot of on-property benefits: a casual cafe on the first floor and a complementary coffee drink and energy bar and banana each morning for guests, a great perk - it also serves quick, affordable and quality breakfast. There's also a complementary happy hour each evening in a rooftop lounge area with amazing views. There's also a more formal restaurant on the second floor which had delicious breakfast. And there was a bar on the top floor which served some excellent cocktails.
The staff were amazing. From pre-check in, to check in, during the stay, and until departure - we felt very taken care of. Before arriving, I emailed the concierge to help organize a dinner reservation, and they were prompt in helping us find a restaurant that fit our needs, and felt really local. Throughout our stay, the front desk staff and concierges were so attentive. I have to shout out Eugene and Meg, the two concierges who really helped make our stay memorable. They both helped give us excellent restaurant and sightseeing recommendations in Tokyo, as well as helped us figure out some details we needed for our train tickets to Kyoto, gave us tips on the train stations and helped organize luggage transport to our next hotel. Also worth giving a shout out to the staff at the cafe each morning who were so kind and genuinely friendly!
And, a note on the hotel location - the hotel is in Shinjuku, with several nearby convenience stores, and options to eat / drink / etc. There were always things open nearby if you wanted to eat or drink late. It was also nicely removed from the really insane / busy center of Shinjuku that is closer to Shinjuku station. That's good in some ways, because it isn't too hectic right outside the doors of the hotel and its in a quieter part of Shinjuku; but it was about a 15 minute walk to get to the nearest train / subway station at Shinjuku Station, and many of the restaurants and bars we wanted to go to were a 10 - 20 minute walk away - which isn't terrible, but worth noting! And a tip on getting to the hotel from Narita - its only about a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Airport Limo Shuttle bus to the nearby Washington Hotel stop, so that is very convenient for arrival!
Overall, I have to say - this hotel was really excellent, and gave us a really memorable and lovely stay in Tokyo with character and made us feel so "cool" and taken care of - highly recommended!
