MIMARU TOKYO HATCHOBORI

It's within walking distance to a number of different train stations and train lines so connectivity is not an issue so long as you don't mind walking a few blocks and having to switch lines. Great dining options all around (shout out to the torikizoku just right outside the hotel which I failed to notice during initial research but where we ended up dining at twice) Love the staff, conversant in English, warm, friendly and helpful. Many many thumbs up! Stayed in the Pokemon themed room and loved it. Well-themed and appointed. Great ensuite toilet and bathroom. Spacious seating/dining area. In fact, the room was so spacious I could spread out 4 whole suitcases on the floor to pack our loot leisurely. A luxury in space starved Tokyo. There was a bedside window that was covered up but letting in light from the outside throughout the entire night. Didn't bother us but some may find that less than restful. Weirdly non-functional kitchenette; cutlery, crockery, stove and hood provided but no pots and pans. No matter since we didn't need to cook (again, so many good dining options at the doorstep!) but for those who do, you may want to enquire with the staff if they loan them out or something. Dryer in the laundry room could be more powerful; remember to clear the lint and stick to smaller loads!

Great facilities with enough space to accommodate our family of four, our children are both teenagers. The staff were always welcoming as we came and went. It was great to have access to kitchen facilities in our room, although we only used them for warming purchased food and making tea and coffee. This apartment hotel is located close to two metro lines and a short walk from Tokyo Station. There were plenty of convenience stores nearby and great, low cost places to eat. Although this is not near one of the main tourist locations, we enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle to a quieter location at the end of each day.

The design of the kid bunks is very thoughtful, with a little extra headboard so lights elsewhere would not get in the eyes of sleeping kids. Each bunk bed had its own reading light. Pokemon room was such a fun surprise for the kids! And it’s nice that the bath is separate from the toilet.

It was a quiet area of Tokyo and we really enjoyed coming home to a more mellow environment after spending the day in more busy areas of Tokyo. Having the 7-11 across the street was very convenient and the udon restaurant on the corner was so yummy and great for our late night arrival. The beds were super comfortable and our three kids loved the bunk beds. We loved having the kitchen, which was fully stocked with all we needed.

The hotel is located in an office area, very quiet and easy to reach from Haneda, and very close to line H and T. I strongly recommend you to get a PASMO card at Haneda airport, it can be used in bus, metro and JR trains (no Shinkansen) as well as in many shops, and you can charge it at the hotel. There are plenty of small restaurants and grocery shops, check whether the restaurant you want to go to is open over the WE. The hotel staff were all very friendly and very helpful. They ordered a big taxi for us to Haneda for 9000 EUR, it looked like a VIP car. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfy. Be aware of the cleaning schedule at the time you check in, staff will guide you through.
