Royal Park Hotel The Shiodome, Tokyo

We stayed in a room with executive lounge access. Lounge was amazing. Great breakfast. Afternoon drinks and snacks and in the evening a large choice of high end alcohol drinks and small food. View was great especially at night. Fabulous links to the metro and easy to get around. Room was big as was the bed. The bathroom had all the toiletries you would need. So clean and robes and slippers was a nice addition. Would stay again

We stayed for 8 nights on the 37th floor with lounge access. All the staff were friendly and extremely courteous and helpful. The hotel occupies the top half of the Shiodome building in a 'quieter' area of Tokyo. Located a very short walk away from two train stations, which made getting there from Haneda very easy, and getting around Tokyo easy. Ginza is also a short walk away. We found the hotel spotlessly clean, good views over the river, our room was about 26sq m. The lounge was comfortable and relaxing with good views, it closed at 9pm.It served good breakfasts, snacks and drinks.

This is pretty much a corporate, businessmen's hotel. The rooms are nice, clean and, like so many hotel rooms in Japan, on the small side. The reception is on the 24th floor; our room was on 37th floor. We had a nice view of the park. The executive lounge was on the 38th floor and service there was always courteous and efficient. Like many expense account hotels, it was a bit sterile but, really, fine. Breakfast was served here and it was adequate. The concierge staff tried to be helpful, but because no one spoke any English, and we do not speak Japanese, the one time we really needed directions to a restaurant, we were given a postage stamp-sized map and instructions that couldn't even charitably called vague. All and all, it is what it is.

We visited this hotel for 3 nights to see Tokyo. The staff are wonderful and could not have been more helpful. English is universally spoken by the very welcoming staff. The hotel is positioned between 2 railway lines and is a very short walk to Shiodome and Shimbasi stations. We found this very useful when travelling to Haneda airport. The buffet restaurant has an excellent array of western and Japanese options. The outside temperature was in the middle 30's Celsius but you were kept very comfortable inside. We have stayed here before and would strongly recommend this hotel to travellers.

I heard a lot about Japanese hospitality didnt expect too much, but also not this. The reception staff is rude. What hotel bar closes at 2200? Takes last order at 2145, and expects you to finish it in 40 min and kicks you out at 2230...even if you have a business talk right at that moment. If you are going for business, choose another hotel.
