Not much different then any other business Hotel, but......
...it's the little details. Thanks to the Swiss Restaurant Manager they have a real espresso machine at the Checkers restaurant. So...ask for "real" coffee, and you get real coffee.
The Hilton Tokyo is located in Shinjuku, the new business, shopping and entertainment center of Tokyo. Twenty four hours a day, Shinjuku, pulsates with a vibrancy and excitement that typifies modern Japan. The Hilton Tokyo is a glamorous landmark and an oasis of hospitality, comfort and style in this dynamic quarter. The hotel is Hilton International's largest hotel in Japan with 806 luxurious rooms and every room has traditional Shohji screens across the windows.
And as you might already know everything is VERY EXPENSIVE in JAPAN so are all hotels in this area!
I got a great deal though Asian affair holidays and SIngapore airlines for hotel stay at the Tokyo Hilton and airfare from LA. Check with there website periodically for similiar deals.
For those people looking for safe and cheap accomodation you may be surprised to find that it is readily available at one of the many guesthouses for foreigners located in the city.
Being an international hotel chain, the quality and reliability of the Hilton is to be expected.
But what was really nice is how spacious it was compared to Japanese hotels. It is not huge by any means, but it certainly gives more room than the average Japanese hotel room.
Another advantage is that you get more TV channels to choose from! Don't laugh now, but it's nice to be able to get English channels on TV other than CNN and BBC.
The room itself was beautifully appointed, with furnishings in light coloured wood. Staff were extremely polite, and generally very proficient in English.
The hotel is conveniently close to the Shinjuku JR station. If you take a cab, you should not pay more than the flag-down fare. And if you choose to walk, it's about 10 mins away.
I recommend this hotel for the good service and accomodations. The staff are very foreign friendly and speak English well.
Next to the lobby, the hotel has a restaurant that offers an excellent buffet style breakfast. I actually prefer it`s breakfast to that of the Century Hyatt`s.
Hilton Tokyo, about 15 mins walk to the JR Shinjuku station, sit on a cozy environment where you could have a good view of the outside. Unlike normal Tokyo hotels, the rooms are quite spacious in its size, though the pic is showing the size of a suite
Largest Hilton in Asia, 38 floors. It has been around a while, but everything was in working order. Smiling, attentive staff. Executive lounge serves an extensive complimentary breakfast looking out towards the Tokyo Municipal Government Building.
Very nice rooms with many amenities. Free shuttle from Shinjuku Station every 20 minutes.
