We stayed at the Hanzomon hotel toward the end of a two week+ trip visiting several cities in Japan. The general exterior of the hotel is very nice, as well as the lobby, elevators and room floors. The staff is friendly enough (not overly friendly by any means though, which was usually the case in our other hotels--a good thing) and the hotel is also conveniently located right across the street (literally, take exit 5) from Hanzomon station, and that was great.

I did have a problem, however, with the cleanliness of our room, because it was pretty filthy. The walls, carpet and dust ruffles on our beds were all stained pretty blatantly. This grossed me out. Even the bathroom doorknob was all greasy. We even stayed in a capsule hotel prior to staying here, and while that was a bit older and dingy, it was still much cleaner than our room at the Hanzomon. I just couldn't understand why they wouldn't replace the carpet or repaint the walls after a certain point.

I honestly wouldn't stay here again. The experience may be OK for others though--considering I read reviews here prior to booking this hotel and not one of them mentioned having a filthy room. So maybe we just had the misfortune of getting the dirtiest room in the hotel.

Great hotel but the rooms are very small! Standard I hear for Japan. The beds are a little hard as well, other than that they offer a lot of good amenities such as a cocktail vending machines and loads of bathroom supplies. haha! The hotel is right across the street from the subway station so that made it very east to get around. The hotel is also in a business/residents part of town so it is a little less busy than other areas in Tokyo. The only complaint would be that the staff cant speak that great of english (I know I was in another country) but it was a little hard to understand each other. I would stay here agian it was a great place very modern/clean and is great for the money that you pay.

This hotel has all that you need. It's very clean, has a small mini bar, free internet (but no WiFi), and friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is about $19. I found the Summerfield Cafe up the street to be wonderful. I learned from TokyoTexan's review that it was easiest to take the Limousine Bus from Narita to the New Otani Hotel (~$30), and then take a taxi (~$8) to the Monterey Hotel. I would definitely stay here again. It is located across the street from Hanzomon stop on the Hanzomon Metro line (Z-05), use exit #5, and it'll be right there.

I stayed in a single room and was quite surprised that the room was larger than I expected. The room decor could do with some modernisation. The carpets looked quite badly stained. Appart from this, the bedding was very clean and the bathroom was well presented and quite clean - if not for the old decor and stained carpet, this hotel would have received a better rating. The room I had was non smoking, but unfortunately there was a stale odour of cigarette somke in the room - I am sure people have smoked in the room. The location of the hotel was quite good. It is accross the road from exit 5 of Hanzomon metro station - has to be the easiest hotel in Toktyo to find. Buy yourself an all day metro ticket for Yen 1000 ( which will let you travel on all metro lines) except "JR" and you can see a lot of Tokyo. If you want to eat near the hotel there are a few restaurants to your left. If you are not into Japanese food, then walk about 1 km to your left as you exit the hotel or if you are in Hanzomon station itself go out exit 2, Macdonalds and Starbucks plus other cafes and restaraunts are near by. I would probably stay at the Monterery again, but an upgrade of the decor and a good clean of the carpets would take this hotel from OK to excellent.
