Hotel 1899 Tokyo

Comfortable, value for money, and meticulously clean. Rooms are a good size for such a central part of Tokyo. Our room had a nice firm mattress, free tea, coffee, snacks and toiletries (replenished every day), plus a “Handy” pre-paid smartphone with internet access, which you can take around the city if you don’t have a roaming plan or data. Overall, an excellent stay, made better by a friendly team who speak English.

For travellers coming from Haneda, Shimbashi is the closest station. Plan your route to the hotel in advance, as it’s a bit of a confusing walk—especially if you’re jetlagged. Breakfast was decent but nothing special.
