“5* Superb!!”

We arrived at the Prince Park Tower at around 10am and we all did a double take, we couldn’t believe how awesome this hotel is. We actually felt that we had walked into the wrong place but thankfully we hadn't.
Unfortunately, but not unexpected, our rooms were not quite ready but we were able to check our luggage at the front desk and organise a time for our check in.
The hotel is massive, especially as it is only surrounded by Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple, both of which are welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Once checked in we were escorted up to our rooms (watch out for the glass elevators if your afraid of heights oh and if your above floor 10 your ears will pop as you whizz up) on the 17th floor.
We had two deluxe twin rooms with 3 guys in one and me and my boyfriend in another. Both rooms were huge and all 5 of us could happily hang out in one room after a crazy day.
Each group was shown their room and given a demo of how all the gadgets work from the 32” LCD TV, separate power shower, jacuzzi bath, balcony doors etc. Yep that’s right 17th floor and we had a balcony, with a view out toward Roppongi and the Shinto Expressway. Thank God for double glazing as the expressway was never quiet.

The hotel is outstanding, everything is provided for you including traditional nightwear and slippers.
We didn’t eat in any of the restaurants as they are very expensive; however, there are plenty of places to eat on the main strip up from Hammatsucho station (closest, Yamanote JR line for those of you using the JR passes) everything from Chinese, Japanese, Italian to your McDonalds and Wendy’s. There is a food court (mini restaurants) in the basement of the World Trade Building that’s quite reasonable
The hotel is easy to access via train and is also a stop for the airport limo bus.

We will defiantly stay here again though I think we’ll pay a bit more and have an executive room with the access to the free lounge.

Oh btw beware the toilet!! Its an interesting experiance if you can't read japanese... hehee

3/3 found this review helpful

Although I typically stay at the Tokyo Prince, I stayed this time at the sister hotel, the Prince Park Tower. What a difference! I have an executive room with a beautiful view overlooking Tokyo Ginza. The food choices are superb. Executive floors have a dedicated set of elevators accessed by key card. The staff is friendly and attentive. The fitness facility is outstanding, albeit quite a walk. Be cautioned: Unlike American hotels, people typically dress in street clothes to the fitness center and change there. They look a bit askance if you wear your workout clothes in. They do have new clean clothes for you to wear while working out. They also have a full length lap pool (indoor and immaculate) and a wonderful natural hot spring.
Internet connection is via LAN and no charge. The cable is in the room, thus avoiding those annying trips to the front desk (why some hotels do this is beyond comprehenshion).

There are a number of wonderful sites within 15 minutes walk, including lovely shrines in Roppongi Hills and the Zojoji temple.

The Dutch Embassy is very nearby. Tokyo Station is a 10 minute (1500 Yen) taxi ride. The bus from Narita takes appx 1.25 hours and costs 3000 Yen. Akihabara (electonics) district and Roppongi (party) district are both within 15 minutes public transit. Nearby shopping is high end, so with the state of the dollar, be forewarned.

This will be my hotel of choice for all future business trips to Japan.

“A well-placed hotel from which to explore Tokyo”

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo

May 17, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

Having stayed in Tokyo before - in a truly amazing hotel (the Grand Hyatt) and a truly dreadful one (the Keio Plaza), I had a fairly polarised experience of hotels in the city.

This one is definitely at the top end of the scale.

Location-wise, this is well-placed. If you are staying here, do ask for a view overlooking the Temple or Tower...the best views are to be had from the North or North-West aspects; the hotel overlooks Shibuya Park, which is simply wonderful and (if you like Tokyo Tower) offers a spectacular view both of it and other landmark buildings such as the Mori Tower at Roppongi Hills (which you simply must visit).

From a public transport point-of-view, you are very well-placed for Akabanebashi (Odeo Line) and Daimon (Odeo and Asakusa Lines). However, as fun as the Metro is, you can be in Shinjuku in 20 mins in a cab or Tokyo Station district in about 20-30 depending on the time of day. Cabs aren't that expensive (caveat here being that I live in London, so I'm used to very pricey cabs); a fare from the Prince to Roppongi was always on or about 1000 Yen, which is five pounds sterling or 10 USD at time of writing. So, for the sake of getting an air-conditioned taxi, save yourself the hassle of getting on a Metro train if you need to arrive at your destination dressed well.

Don't even bother with the Metro at peak time. Just don't. Unless you really like being VERY intimate with your fellow man.

As for the hotel itself, the room was spotless, truly. The service at the front desk was very good and housekeeping responsive if you need to ask for an iron/power adaptor etc. I would say, however, that the vast majority of hotels in Tokyo have the same level of service regardless of class. If it's one thing Japanese hotels do well, it's hospitality.

If you are a vegetarian, you will need to eat elsewhere other than the hotel in the evening, which - if, like me, you've just got off a 12 hour flight from London and a one-hour drive from the airport, is a little tedious. However, I don't actually see that, even if I weren't a veggie, that I would eat in the hotel. The food menu looked very good, but very pricey indeed. As mentioned above, I would be inclined to take the five min cab-ride to Roppongi Hill instead, which has many restaurants and bars to suit all tastes in one of the most progressive and modern parts of the city.

However, the bar at the top of the hotel is well worth a visit at night, since the view and service is exceptional.

Breakfast in the Hotel is a good variety of Western and Japanese cuisine. You will not leave feeling like you have paid over the odds for a poor choice of breakfast, as has been a common experience for me. Breakfast cereals, breads, lots of fruit and juices, pancakes...the choice is very good. Hotel breakfasts are never "value for money", since the mark-up is huge, but the choice and variety is very good indeed.

This has been mentioned elsewhere, but a word of warning about the gym and spa. You will not be allowed to use this if you are under 25 years of age. This is a problem for some with families and seems a little harsh to me. I would rather see the hotel having its facilities open to all between certain times and 18+ years from, say, 1900. This, for me, emphasised the "business hotel" positioning that the hotel is gunning for.

In summary - I would not hesitate in recommending the hotel to anyone staying in Tokyo. It is well-placed, with a good team of staff who will look after you almost to the point of it being a little embarrassing.

Do learn a little Japanese before you go. "Please" and "thank you" will elicit a warm response from the locals and is a basic courtesy!

Finally...and I know this sounds daft....but for a hotel that has over 500 rooms, I never felt like I was staying in a "large" hotel. The layout is designed very well as such you will not feel like you bumping into people every five mins.

One downside - two of the internal lifts made of glass that run from the ground to the 33rd floor overlooking the atrium. Very cool if you like that sort of thing. Not so nice if you have vertigo, like the poor Spanish lady I met on my first day!

“First Class!”

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo

5 of 5 stars
Melbourne
Apr 25, 2008

From the minute I walked in the door I was amazed, truly the greatest experiance I have had at any motel.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful, they got me checked in and into my room extreamly fast.

I stayed in a Superior Double and it lived up to it in every sence of the word. The room was extreamly moden and roomy, king size bed, coffee machine, casual sitting table, mini-bar, automatic blinds, sensor lights... the list could go on.

The bathroom was the highlight of the room. It had all your standard fancy japanese features, heated toilet seat, bidet, shower with adjustable head, bath with automatic fill, bath jets.

The motel is a little less central then other places but they make up for this with the number of bars and restaurants located thoughout the motel. Everything is only 10 minutes away via the train anyway.

I'd truly recommend this motel to anyone wanting to have a great experiance in Tokyo, knowing that you have a fantastic motel room to return to when you are tired from sight seeing is a true luxury that is a must for any holiday.

“Cherry Blossom Time”

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo

5 of 5 stars
Kingwood, TX
Apr 10, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I go to Tokyo for business regularly, but have only recently started to stay at Prince Park Tower. It's location is near to my business location, but everything about it is first class. It is not a Western Hotel, and feels much more like an upscale Japanese Hotel. The rooms are spacious, with separate bathrooms, and shower / tub combinations. Internet is free, and it has a nice desk area for business work.

The Hotel has several very good restaurants; I tried the Sky Garden for breakfast buffet (great!), and the Japanese Steakhouse, which was also very good (but very expensive). In addition, it has a bowling alley, fitness area, and many shops - all expensive with the Yen to $ ration of about 100:1 now.

I mentioned the Cherry Blossoms as they were out fully when I was there Mar 26-30, and many families and couples were having parties and dinners in the park alongside the hotel
