Royal Park Hotel The Shiodome, Tokyo

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.

It's an expansive & grand hotel! The rooms are smaller than we have experienced previously but very nicely arranged. Extremely thoughtfully, the hotel keeps a map of the recommended Ramen Joints! Very nice location with access to a shopping arcade & a 'Family Mart'(the convenience store) through the hotel only. Their staff is very helpful as well

I booked last minute at this hotel so I got a good discount in order to afford staying here. The room was large and the bathroom was beautiful and large. The beds were slightly hard and the air conditioning needed a while to kick in. The hotel breakfast was not worth the price in my opinion. The location was great—next to multiple lines of transportation.
