Reviews overwhelmingly praise the hotel’s attentive staff, clean modern property, convenient Tokyo location near the subway, and high-quality lounge, food, and beverage offerings; many consider club-level access worth the cost. Recurring reservations include inconsistent room standards, aging facilities, poor value, and a prolonged air-conditioning failure handled without sufficient apology.

And yes l have ALL correspondance and if anything comes out of this l expect YOU to now send me the items free of charge or a full financial compensation for the value of said items .

★ 1.0Family with Children

They say it's not how you start, but how you finish — ANA may have had a slightly shaky start, but they absolutely finished strong and gave us a stay we will never forget.

★ 10.0Couples

The conference that I need to attend was at this hotel, so it made sense to stay here, as it only takes a couple of minutes to go to my room during breaks.

★ 9.0Couple

With a modicum of explanation, the very best of service is to be had: Athens and Rome— eat your heart out— service here is sublime.

★ 10.0Family

We had an amazing stay at ANA InterContinental Tokyo and it became one of the highlights of our trip to Japan.

★ 10.0Couples

The guest room was renovated, bright, and comfortable. The bathroom and toilet were separate, making them easier to use.

I would stay here again because it is far away from the crowds in Shinjuku and Shibuya areas.

Staff are repeatedly praised as warm, professional, attentive, and proactive, with concierge, lounge, breakfast, and front-desk teams often delivering personalized help and thoughtful gestures. However, some reports cite rude pre-arrival phone handling, slow reception responses, inadequate staffing and long queues during busy lounge periods, and occasional failures to assist waiting guests.

He refused to give me the room that I paid even I provided proof emails and he told me there is nothing they can do about it since on their system showed only classic room.

★ 2.0Friends Getaway

Rather than a welcoming atmosphere, the overall impression was of staff being overwhelmed, stressed, and operating in silos — as if no one was truly responsible for the guest experience.

★ 2.0Business

Including myself, there were 9 people waiting with 4 staff members attending to them; I understand that one person's service may take time due to their kind response.

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

They were very friendly and accommodating especially Ms. Yasuyo Shimada who took the time to chat with me and book us reservations for a wonderful dinner.

★ 10.0Family

What stood out most was not only the efficiency and attentiveness of the team, but the grace with which they delivered such thoughtful hospitality.

★ 10.0Family

I called the reception to shift the room, they told me that they will see and solve the issue but no action from them.

★ 6.0Couple

But I noticed the mistake and talked to the staff and they fixed although the money still hasn't returned to my bank

★ 5.0Solo Traveller

Excellent customer service and they even checked us into our room early which was helpful after a long flight with our baby!

★ 10.0

The rest of the staff at the ANA Intercontinental are also great with constant smiles and helpful support to all guests.

★ 10.0Business

From the moment we arrived to the time we left we felt welcome and were always engaged by the staff.

★ 10.0Couples

They staff worked to ensure everything was adjusted as required and provided specially tailored options to match our needs.

★ 10.0Couples

The hospitality, food and beverage quality, and the overall sense of comfort and relaxation made the stay worthwhile.

★ 10.0Family

Very friendly service! Very helpful and everything was very quick and organized, as is typical in Japan!

★ 9.0Couple

I want to give a special thank you to the front desk team—especially Lara and Sakurako.

★ 10.0Business

Thanks in particular to Mark and Sarah in the lounge and Fumika who checked us in.

★ 10.0Family

He was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to assist us with everything we needed.

★ 10.0Couple

The substandard nature of the experience is not subtle — it is striking and undeniable.

★ 2.0Business

The bell desk tried hard to sell us on the overpriced airport shuttle to Narita.

★ 6.0Family

I really liked the location, the comfort, and the staff's cheerful and helpful efforts.

★ 9.0Family with Children

Staff to guest ratio is probably half that of my last hotel, Peninsula Tokyo.

Ripina was our hostess for an evening and was so nice and helpful!!

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

Great customer service, thank you Youssef for the wonderful experience and support

★ 10.0Family with Children

When we were leaving, we had to pack a few more of our things, they took care to watch our luggages for us and even offered a place to arrange them comfortably (and the staff in the room also brought us a scale to weigh our bags).

★ 10.0Extended Group

And they have an Egyptian Arab employee named Youssef who is one of the best employees I've dealt with. He helped us with many things, and every time he sees us, he asks if we need anything. His demeanor is very classy.

★ 10.0Couple

Her passion to serve, introduce me to local experiences, get me grounded on the property with a drink/meal upon entering the club and getting me to my room smoothly were handled in the most professional and capable manner.

★ 10.0Couples

We recently stayed at the ANA InterContinental Tokyo and wanted to take a moment to specifically highlight two exceptional members of the Club Level staff — Sarah and Kanan — who truly made our family’s stay unforgettable.

★ 10.0Family

We want to give a particular mention to Yasuyo in the Club Intercontinental who went out of her way to make our time in Tokyo incredibly memorable, booking us a fabulous restaurant and organising a birthday cake.

Rooms are frequently described as clean, modern, comfortable, and well-appointed, with spacious suites, excellent Tokyo views, and luxurious bathrooms. However, many guests found standard rooms small, especially for families. Recurring concerns include traffic noise, smoke or mold odors, fixed windows, uneven air conditioning, occasional housekeeping omissions, and beds or pillows that were uncomfortable.

The pillows were like rocks, I had a terrible sleep all 3 nights, the room was freezing and we could not adjust the temperature at all and blankets were not sufficient for the temperature in the room.

★ 8.0Family with Children

I booked using points, 45,900 points for the lowest rate, and got upgraded to a 1 king classic high floor Tokyo Tower View room, 30 sqm on the 35th floor.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

Carpet in room is a bit dirty, when I moved the bed, a lot of dust , a used mask, and some small stuff underneath the bed.

★ 8.0Family with Children

It was not as large as some suites in other countries- it was a big room basically with no partition, but this is Tokyo!

★ 10.0Couple

As an IHG One Rewards Diamond Ambassador, I booked a Classic Room but was upgraded to a 1 King Classic High Floor.

★ 10.0Couples

Room was large enough to give each of us space while giving you everything you need in a luxury hotel.

★ 10.0Family

The entry-level room here is neither small nor large, about 28 sqm, which is quite comfortable by Japanese standards.

★ 8.0Couples

Bathroom was separated from sink and toilet which was very nice, and used THANN amenities which felt luxurious.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

The room was beautiful, modern, and extremely clean, with stunning views of Tokyo Tower and the nearby skyscrapers.

★ 10.0Couple

The lounge is very close to the room - almost like an extension of the room itself.

★ 10.0Family

Our room was a modest size but exceptionally appointed and ticked all th boxes for us.

★ 10.0Couples

Very good beds to sleep on after an exhausting day of walking and enjoying Tokyo 😁.

★ 10.0Family

Our room on the 28th floor with a view of Tokyo Tower was absolutely spectacular.

★ 10.0Family

We took a large club room with access to the Lounge, it was very comfortable.

★ 10.0Family with Children

I requested a room change, but the new room smelled like a smoking room.

★ 4.0Family

The room was newly renovated, spacious, and tastefully decorated with elegant Japanese touches.

★ 10.0Couples

The rooms are on the bigger side compared to other hotels in Tokyo.

★ 8.0

Small room, no option to open windows and to have fresh air.

★ 8.0Family with Children

The combination gave me a horrible headache so we asked to switch.

★ 6.0Partner

The room is comfortable with a large French bed, cleaned daily.

★ 9.0Couple

Took one day for them to move us to another room.

★ 8.0

We stayed in a newly renovated king suite with club access.

★ 10.0Couple

Room service is also comfortable, and the food is delicious.

★ 9.0Couple

We visited for our honeymoon, staying in the Mizu suite.

★ 10.0Couples

Bathroom is a little on the small side and dated

★ 8.0Family with Children

We booked a high room and were upgraded to the Club floors for a room with an amazing view of the Tokyo Tower - which we combined with our annual lounge pass to use the Intercontinental Lounge for Aftermoon Tea, Cocktail hour and Canapés (more like a full meal!) and breakfast.

★ 10.0Couples

Although booked for 4 adults, the assigned room was basically for 2 persons: the room was almost inaccessible because an emergency bed was placed in front of the entrance door as the 4th bed, and the 3rd bed was placed instead of the sofa without a nightstand and lamp;

★ 6.0Extended Group

We had one of the new suites so all four of us (4yo and 2yo children) could stay in the same room and still have space to walk around, the room was really comfortable and in a quiet corner of the floor.

★ 9.0Family with Children

At check-in, the attendant offered me an "upgrade" because I am an IHG loyalty member. However, it was actually a downgrade as I was given an old room, with curtains in the bathroom, whereas my original reservation was for a renovated room.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

I had booked a room on the upper floors to have a view of the city, even if that’s not really the most important thing in a city like Tokyo that only offers concrete as far as the eye can see.

The hotel’s strongest advantage is transport: Tameike-Sanno/Ginza Line access is typically 1–3 minutes away, with several subway lines and easy connections to Shibuya, Ginza, Roppongi, and other sights. It sits in a quiet business district with many nearby restaurants, convenience stores, a supermarket, and airport limousine service, though nightlife and shops are limited.

The location is really convenient, there is usually no shortage of taxis (exception: New Years eve and New Years day as well as probably other holidays, but that is to be expected) and the Ginza Line metro Station Tameike-Sanno (No. G-06) is right outside the hotel.

★ 8.0Couple

The Ginza line is one of the most important Metro lines (and probably the only one you really need as tourist) as it goes to Shibuya or Ginza as well as to Shimbashi and all the way to Asakusa, with many interchange options in between.

★ 8.0Couple

I stayed at the hotel, but the hotel staff didn't know either, and I was handed a map saying "across from the U.S. Embassy" after looking it up online, but there are many similar buildings and it's confusing for someone coming from a rural area.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

To get to Tokyo station, it's a bit of a walk through all the platforms in Tameike Sanno station, and the signs were a bit confusing, so I go lost the first day.

★ 9.0Couple

It is Kinda far from Ginza Line, we had to walk 500 meters each day to the subway line, in order to get to Shibuya, Shinjuku ect.

★ 10.0Partner

The place was in a good localization just right next to the metro station and is close to all the main attractions.

★ 9.0Couple

The hotel was in the center of downtown area and Tokyo tower is in the close proximity to the hotel.

★ 8.0None

Combined with the location close to the lovely Minato and Akasaka areas, the footsteps to the Tokyo Metro system.

★ 10.0

However, for first-time visitors looking to explore Tokyo’s main tourist attractions, the location may feel a bit removed.

★ 8.0Family

Clean and bright, location wasn't the best but the underground station was a 2min walk at most.

★ 8.0Family

Only 300 metres to Tokyo Metro lines G and Y which makes getting around to other

★ 8.0Family with Children

Excellent, comfortable stay with plenty of restaurants and well situated to access various areas of.

★ 10.0Couple

The police officers in front of the embassy also didn't know of the Koyodokyokai building.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

And of course, as expected in Japan, I felt completely safe at all times.

★ 10.0Couple

The hotel has access to the convention center, bakery, many restaurants within in.

★ 8.0None

Located in a quiet area surrounded by offices is not that bad.

★ 10.0Family

Very close to subway station entrance (ginza line) - 5 min walk

★ 8.0Family with Children

Brilliant access to local transport networks to get wherever you need.

★ 10.0Couples

At night hookers in the lobby following you in the elevator.

★ 4.0Couple

Superb location especially for a first time visit to Tokyo.

★ 8.0Couple

There was not much around the area of the hotel.

★ 10.0Family with Children

Perfect location with minutes walk to Toranomon (main business area)

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

Also has a coin laundry mat across the street.

★ 10.0Family

★ 10.0Family

★ 10.0Couple

Breakfast: What guests say

View ANA InterContinental Tokyo by IHG

201 relevant reviews

Breakfast is repeatedly praised for its extensive, high-quality Japanese and Western buffet, including sushi, dumplings, eggs, pastries, cheeses, omelettes and gluten-free options; some venues offer Tokyo views from upper floors. Recurring drawbacks include queues, crowded or hectic seating, slow coffee, uncleared plates, weak replenishment and inconsistent food quality.

The buffet is enormous and caters to every taste imaginable: traditional Japanese dishes including dumplings and sushi, classic European favourites such as eggs and bacon, an excellent selection of German cheeses, hams and charcuterie, and wonderful French pastries, croissants and fresh bread.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

There was a day it took us over 40mins to wait to get in, and when we sat down almost all breakfast trays were empty and told us they will not refill as it’s time to close.

★ 8.0Family with Children

L36 offers a buffet spread with both Japanese and western food which is a decent spread, but definitely not meant to host the crowd usually hence could feel space a little more tight.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

As for the Japanese set breakfast that many people mentioned in past reviews, it has now been changed to self-service at the buffet line — there is no longer a three-tier bento set.

★ 8.0Couples

The food quality was consistently good, but during weekends, many of the food items were not refilled properly and we had to wait a long time to get food and drink.

★ 10.0Family

We were never able to go for breakfast as the lines were 30 or 40 people deep, extending all the way to outside, and requiring possibly a good 45 minutes wait.

★ 3.0Family with Children

The Japanese breakfast set was amazing and tea time and cocktail hours were a lot of fun even if just as a one time experience to try them out.

★ 10.0Couple

One tip for future guests: be sure to ask your server for the traditional Japanese sweet at the end of breakfast before the last order at 10:00 a.m.

★ 10.0Family

Breakfast at the lobby had finished renovation from the last time I visited, and had many seatings with good spread and also a live noodle station.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

High tea was alright with three-tier sweet/savoury bites and a small selection of fruits/biscuits in buffet style and of course with tea/coffee through the extensive menu.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

Breakfast can get busy, but the selection is top-notch, and as a family with a young child, we were escorted to a free table.

★ 9.0Family with Children

Waiting time for breakfast is more than 10 minutes every morning as the queue is so long. It could be avoid by using tickets.

★ 8.0Family with Children

For breakfast, I chose to dine at the Club Lounge instead of the main restaurant downstairs, mainly because it’s much less crowded.

★ 8.0Couples

"Kids stay free" does not include breakfast for them, even if room was booked with breakfast, was not clear when booking

★ 9.0Family with Children

The club lounge on 35th floor was excellent, great breakfast order and buffet options, with lots of western choices.

★ 10.0

Comes along with a good spread of bites to go along with, both Japanese and western style.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

Also payed for the breakfast option but did not include the third person our son ??.

★ 6.0Family

If this situation I expected the receptionist should’ve told us when we were lining up.

★ 8.0Family with Children

The breakfast is very busy every morning but very good choice of international food.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

This negatively affected the overall dining atmosphere and aesthetic experience during breakfast.

★ 8.0Couple

Breakfast buffet was incredible with high-standard and diverse food and dietary options

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

We enjoyed delicious complimentary breakfasts and cocktail hour with tasty tapas.

★ 10.0Family with Children

Queuing for breakfast .. really ? in a 5 stars hotel

★ 8.0Couple

The breakfast was amazing and there were plenty of choices.

★ 8.0Couple

It's a breakfast worth looking forward to each morning.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

1. Breakfast- allowed on club floor or main restaurant

★ 10.0Couple

The breakfast is extensive but at what price?

★ 6.0Family

The baker in the hotel was very good.

★ 9.0Extended Group

Repeated feedback highlights the Club Lounge: spacious, scenic, comfortable, and generous with champagne, cocktails, food, and afternoon tea, though it can be overcrowded, understaffed, untidy, and repetitive across days. The main lobby has virtually no seating, a notable family inconvenience. Facilities are well maintained but somewhat dated; the gym may overcrowd and women’s sauna provision is limited.

The Club Lounge itself (which is where I spent most of my time) is in excellent condition, has a great view of Roppongi, great seating arrangements (tables, high tops and lounge chairs) along with an ample size buffet (the food was excellent).

★ 10.0Couples

The property itself is in excellent shape, I had stayed here in the mid 90's for business and although the venue is 40 years old, management has ensured it is well maintained and I found it in 5 star condition.

★ 10.0Couples

The hotel shop offers unique and high-quality items, and since Suntory Hall is nearby, staying before or after concert days allows for a leisurely enjoyment of music, enhancing a rich adult holiday experience.

★ 9.0Family with Children

It drove us mad that there was no seating in the main lobby at all, especially when waiting with a 1yr old toddler. There wasn’t even anywhere to lean or perch yourself.

★ 8.0Family with Children

They really need to dust under the bedside tables, not nice if you drop something on the floor and when you go to pick it up its very dusty under there.

★ 9.0Family with Children

The other has proper dining tables and was nearer to the food stations, which is ideal for a quick breakfast when you are not going to spend a long time there.

★ 10.0Couples

The lounge facility for families was excellent to have brekky there and afternoon/evening drinks were the icing on the cake, really would love to have stayed longer to enjoy that service

★ 10.0Family with Children

One thing to note, there are restrictions on when children can access the 35th floor lounge, and the alternative 36th floor lounge for families was always closed when we checked.

★ 10.0Family

Maybe a sofa or seating in the reception lobby area would be nice if you are waiting for someone or a taxi to arrive as there is nothing at all.

★ 10.0Couple

Even some 3–4 star Hyatt hotels were more expensive than InterContinental, and what makes this stay even more worthwhile is that InterContinental also includes access to the Club Lounge.

★ 8.0Couples

The food selection is sufficient to make a proper meal if you want, but for those who enjoy drinks like me, it’s perfect for a long, relaxed evening.

★ 8.0Couples

We were able to use the lounge which had first class service , a very good drink and cocktail menu and a wide range of nibbles.

★ 10.0Couples

A relaxing experience with Japanese–European sweets and savories such as fruit cakes, mousse, tarts, and wagashi, paired with sencha, black tea, or freshly brewed coffee.

★ 10.0Couples

It would be helpful for them to be more clearly marked where you're exiting for those who are not accustomed to the area.

★ 9.0Couple

But for someone who likes to drink like me, it's perfect for just hanging out and relaxing for a while.

★ 10.0Couples

Afternoon Tea was served at the table this time it was decent, but nothing that really wowed me.

★ 10.0Couples

The only way to sit down is to go to the bar with very expensive paid drinks.

★ 8.0Family with Children

Large, traditional, and well-managed product. Lots of pilots at checkout which indicates a good value product.

★ 9.0Family with Children

The lounge bar on floor 36 was also a great place to end the night.

★ 9.0Family with Children

I assume the hotel and related restaurants are short staffed as numerous facilities are closed.

★ 8.0Couple

I had the option to access the Club but the price is really discouraging.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

It was one of the best lounges we've experienced at an IC hotel.

★ 10.0Couples

The lobby lounge is always full and not available for in house guests.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

One of the highlights of our visit was the IHG members lounge.

★ 10.0Family

Comfortable, we were able to use many services without any issues.

★ 9.0Couple

The structure of the extra bed was disappointing, with exposed casters.

★ 7.0Extended Group

The lounge offers a peaceful atmosphere and spectacular 35th-floor views.

★ 10.0Couples

The facilities were amazing, and had well priced eating options.

★ 8.0Family with Children

★ 9.0Extended Group

Dining is a major strength: numerous Japanese, French, Chinese and international venues, excellent food, impressive club-lounge buffets, and restaurants with Tokyo views. Breakfast offers sushi, sashimi and varied Western choices. However, dining is often expensive, buffet dinners can repeat nightly, restaurants fill up, and one outlet stopped service at 9:30 despite a stated 10pm closing.

Their buffet restaurant was a good option in case you just wanted a great bite to eat but just a word of caution that there is basically no variation per dinner, per night, as far as we could tell.

★ 10.0Family

In the room we found the information that on 31.12. evening you can order the noodle dish "toshi koshi soba", which are believed to bring good luck for the new year, for a reasonable price to your room.

★ 8.0Couple

Although the Executive Lounge offered a buffet dinner, the chef went the extra mile by preparing a special meal to accommodate my dietary requirements – a thoughtful touch that truly stood out.

★ 8.0Family

The hotel offers an impressive sky bar with spectacular views across Tokyo, along with no fewer than 15 restaurants, each with its own distinct identity, including Japanese, French and Chinese cuisine.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

We also dined in the lobby lounge on the day we checked out and the food options from the restaurants that were served there ala carte were also great!

★ 9.0Family with Children

Location, spacious rooms, cleanliness, varied breakfast with quality ingredients, many dining options - several restaurants within the hotel, including one with 2 Michelin stars, spa area - excellent massage.

★ 9.0Family with Children

It is the catastrophic choice of this hotel to force their guests to wear face-diapers in the restaurants - when the rest of Japan has this as optional only.

★ 1.0Family with Children

The top level bar, which has always been a highlight of our stay in Tokyo, was closed, and there was no real alternative for a burger and drinks.

★ 6.0Extended Group

We also ate at Unkai, which had a beautiful garden and pond view, and at Teppanyaki Akasaka with views of Tokyo Tower — both were really good.

★ 10.0Couples

Come to Brewers it’s a fantastic experience to have a beverage and conversation… at the ANA Intercontinental Hotel Tokyo the ambiance is wonderful overlooking the beautiful lobby

★ 10.0Business

Once inside, the afternoon tea was a real standout, served in individual towers that felt elegant and special, and it was all included with lounge access.

★ 10.0Family

One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel's special 40th Anniversary eight-course tasting menu at Karin, which was exceptional from start to finish.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

The lounge's food were heavenly, with generous variety that felt like a mini dinner buffet (which is already ample if you're not a big eater).

★ 10.0Couples

The Teppanyaki Akasaka restaurant is a great moment of culinary and visual discovery, the cherry on top being the view of the illuminated Tokyo Tower.

★ 10.0Family with Children

I had dinner at the French restaurant on the 36th floor, and it was very delicious, with the staff overflowing with the spirit of "omotenashi."

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

Although pretty expensive, the Teppanyaki restaurant on the 36th floor is definitely worth visiting — great food, great service, and an amazing view.

★ 10.0Couple

We even got to order a bottle of wine from the another restaurant at the hotel, that we've tried the evening before.

★ 10.0Family

Sadly our wonderful experience was completely undone after we were charged a very unexpected (and unexplained) $1500 cancellation for a restaurant booking.

★ 2.0Family with Children

While we waited, they even helped us book a last-minute lunch reservation at Nobu, just a 10-15 minute walk away.

★ 10.0Family

I missed lunch so asked if I could have seconds which Ms Renalyn (and the chef) kindly obliged.

★ 10.0Business

We got served by Parry, and chef Ishida, that served us fantastic food with an amazing view.

★ 10.0Family

Prices at the bar and in the restaurant are quite expensive compared to other restaurants nearby!

★ 9.0Couple

But given the great quality of the food, it wasn't a deal breaker for us.

★ 10.0Family

The evening buffet for $35 was very good also with plenty to choose from.

★ 10.0Family

We went to one of the restaurants and food was fresh and good.

★ 10.0Couple

We had wagyu one night and sirloin the next, both were impressive.

★ 10.0Couples

The food options were excellent, the Club Lounge experience was fantastic.

★ 10.0Couples

Very good food, the atmosphere and vibe are really good,

★ 10.0Family

Hotel restaurants are much more expensive than the external ones.

★ 7.0Solo Traveller

The Steakhouse fulfilled these needs in the short term.

69 relevant reviews

Check-in experiences were mixed: Club Lounge and suite guests often reported smooth, efficient service, upgrades, luggage storage, and occasional early or late checkout. However, long queues and room delays recurred, including waits of 1–2 hours and a 100-person line. Guests also reported missing benefits, room-status discrepancies, rude communication, and key failures.

As an IHG Ambassador member, despite checking in at the dedicated Ambassador counter, I was contacted by the front desk after the usual checkout time of 11 AM, stating that my checkout time had passed, even though it was promised when I became an IHG Ambassador member that a late checkout until 4 PM was permitted.

★ 8.0Couple

When I asked, 'I checked in at the Ambassador dedicated counter as an IHG Ambassador member and already provided my account number at that time, which the staff should have confirmed. Do I really need to provide my account number again?' the response was, 'Yes, it's needed again.'

★ 8.0Couple

When I mentioned that I checked in as an Ambassador member, I was told, 'If you're going to request a late checkout, you must inform us in advance,' and they also asked for my Ambassador member account details.

★ 8.0Couple

He refused to give me the room that I paid even I provided proof emails and he told me there is nothing they can do about it since on their system showed only classic room.

★ 2.0Friends Getaway

They also put a ¥30,000 charge on your card at check in which I have never experienced before and thought was excessive - you can just hold card details and not charge?

★ 6.0Partner

Arrived at the hotel at 8 pm (after 10 hours flight) and they inform me that my room in not ready!! after insisting they gave me a room after 10 minutes ..

★ 6.0Solo Traveller

We were able to check in at the Club Lounge since we booked a suite, where the staff welcomed us with beverages and held our bags until the room was ready.

★ 10.0Family

Before our arrival, Monina from the hotel team reached out via email and guided us to check in on the club floor—a wonderful surprise that set the tone for our stay.

★ 10.0Family

We went by first to leave the luggages in their care but were told we can do an early check-in which was nice since we travelled from another city.

★ 10.0Extended Group

We arrived at the hotel after being informed that, due to electrical inspection the hotel is closed the day before and can only checkin at 3pm on 9 May.

★ 2.0Couples

We were able to store our luggages' with the hotel when we went to Kyoto for a few days, as we were re-staying on our return to Tokyo.

★ 9.0Family with Children

Using the Lounge for check-in took over 30 minutes to receive our room key; I’d recommend checking in at the main Reception, which appeared to be less congested.

★ 8.0Family

Its 11pm and I just get out of a 12 hours flight so I have no choice at that time but to take whatever room he gave me.

★ 2.0Friends Getaway

It took 1hrs 15 minutes to get the key of the room, considering the hotel was closed last night, don’t tell me the room was not available.

★ 2.0Couples

After persistent requests we were given a temporary “disabled” room at 4.30 pm and our original booking with Club lounge access was declined but then reinstated.

★ 8.0Couple

At check in they didn’t inform us of free breakfast but a manager Robin was amazing at making sure we were compensated or not charged.

★ 8.0Extended Group

Getting to the hotel quite late and being disappointed with my less than amazing room after booking and paying early as a diamond IHG member

★ 10.0Solo Travel

As our suite was not on the club floors, husband wished we didn't have to change lifts to get up to the lounge.

★ 9.0Family with Children

I checked in on the 35th floor at the Club Lounge. The process was smooth and efficient with minimal waiting time.

★ 8.0Couples

We were supposed to check out of that room and check into a new room the following day.

★ 7.0Family with Children

Check-in was on the 35th floor, where the club lounge is located; it was smooth and efficient.

★ 10.0Couples

We were also not informed at time of check in that our room wouldn’t have a/c.

★ 2.0Friends Getaway

Not being able to checkin at 5.11pm for paying oeasants like me is not on.

★ 4.0Family

We arrived at 5 PM, and some people did not have their room ready.

★ 7.0Couple

I went down to reception, they apologized and prepared a new room key.

★ 3.0Solo Traveller

A second suitcase was dropped off in advance of our arrival.

★ 9.0Couple

As a result the check in process took over 30 mins.

★ 7.0Extended Group

I did not expect the downgrade that occurred at check-in.

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

After checkin-in it was quickly delivered to our room.

★ 9.0Couple

They definitely do not allow check-in before 15:00.

The large, attractive outdoor pool is a major draw, especially for families and hot summer days, with towels, drinks, food, views and a kids’ pool. However, access commonly costs extra (reported around ¥4,800 for four hours), outside day-pass guests can create severe overcrowding and scarce loungers, and the pool is seasonal, closed in winter and sometimes unheated.

The pool was crazy busy as over the weekend so lots of paying outside families, lots of children and noisy, but still good to be able to relax outside at the end of our trip.

★ 10.0

In addition, on the first day when we arrived at the hotel and went to the pool, my family and I: my wife + 2 children aged 9 were the only people there.

★ 9.0Family with Children

A reason we chose the ANA was for the pool, it’s not included in the room cost and a couple of hours in the pool for the kids was quite expensive.

★ 9.0Family with Children

Unfortunately what we did not know is that the hotel opens the pool to the public for a fee and it was mostly inundated by people paying for day passes.

★ 6.0Couples

We sat in the Premium zone for more privacy, and after a while, an employee came and told us to leave that area and move to the regular zone.

★ 9.0Family with Children

Not much, maybe that guest from outside may enter the pool area for a fee which leads into champagne drinking instagram photo shooting girl groups around the pool.

★ 9.0Family with Children

Charge for using the swimming pool!! :( This is the first 5-star hotel I've stayed at where I had to pay for access to the hotel's outdoor pool.

★ 9.0Family with Children

And then someone walks around ringing a bell telling people their paid session is over and it’s time for the next wave of people to come in!

★ 6.0Couples

We still used the pool for a quick dip to cool down but got in and out as quickly as possible because it was pretty unbearable.

★ 6.0Couples

A lovely hotel with a highlight being its sizeable pool and kids pool which was really great to escape the intense August heat in Tokyo!

★ 8.0Family with Children

We had limited time so could only go to the pool once which gets pretty busy and the good seats are for premier guests only.

★ 8.0Couple

I was told to move it… even though I was only doing lane swimming and there was a handful of people poolside at best.

★ 8.0Family with Children

We booked this hotel mainly due to the pool so we could have some relaxation at the end of a 3 week trip.

★ 6.0Couples

I didn’t know the pool was not included in the price. There is a separate fee around 4800yen for a 4 hour period.

★ 10.0Family with Children

I was very unhappy to know that I need to pay extra or taken a different package to access the swimming pool.

★ 5.0Family with Children

It’s the first of the 49 hotels I stayed in with a pool that require guests to pay additional for the pool.

★ 5.0Family with Children

I loved that they had a pool but not thrilled that one would need to pay quite a bit to use it.

★ 10.0Family with Children

The Pool Garden is another wonderful feature—a perfect place to unwind with a cocktail after a busy day exploring Tokyo.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

This is a public pool that hotel guests can use if they are savvy enough to find a spare corner.

★ 6.0Couples

But the pool was busy as outside customers can come and use it, so we didn't bother using it.

★ 8.0Family

We didn't get a chance to use the pool as it only opened the day before we checked out.

★ 10.0Couples

I was aware prior to booking, appreciated having the pool, nevertheless price for hotel guests was questionable.

★ 10.0Family with Children

Plus as it was unheated probably would have been a bit chilly in early June!

★ 10.0Couples

Another two occasions (when again lane swimming) I kept bumping into the inflatables.

★ 8.0Family with Children

There were no sun lounges available for almost the whole day.

★ 6.0Couples

I repeat, we were the only people at the pool.

★ 9.0Family with Children

The pool was so fun for our kids too!

★ 10.0

Rooms are nice and the pool is great.

★ 9.0Extended Group

Hardly a recipe for a relaxing environment.

★ 6.0Couples

I was disturbed by this employee's overzealousness.

Transport: What guests say

Transport is a major convenience: the hotel is close to subway, buses, taxis, and highway access, with taxis usually waiting outside. Narita limousine buses and airport shuttle services are especially useful. Downsides include no Haneda shuttle, occasional airport-transfer booking errors, one failed taxi reservation, and long underground or station walks.

The hotel helped us book a fast bus back to Narita airport - if in no rush, then this is a good way to go back- far cheaper than the taxi we took to get to the hotel on arrival!

★ 10.0Couple

Best part was at the hotel door steps was a bus that takes you straight to Narita Airport (with one or two stops in between) - no need to carry luggage or take taxi to train station.

★ 10.0Family with Children

You can book the airport bus to pick you up from the hotel to go to the airport, as long as your travel times are within the hotel bus operating hours.

★ 9.0Couple

The train station is close and convenient although the walk to some platform lines is almost 1 Km from the entrance which is not unusual in Tokyo.

★ 8.0Family

No shuttle to Haneda airport which is around 20 to 30 minutes from the hotel and the cab fairs in Japan are quite steep.

★ 8.0Couple

I wanted to reserve a taxi for the next morning the evening before, but they indicated that they were all fully booked.

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

Arrangement to travel to airport by Airport limosine was messed up but they did rearrange my access to the service

★ 9.0Solo Traveller

This hotel does offer the Airport shuttle which makes it even more convenient when departing.

★ 10.0Family

The nearest metro station was quite a long walk in the underground to the train.

★ 5.0Couple

Had to use the railway station everyday to sightsee or meet up for excursions.

★ 8.0Family

I believe that a hotel should always be able to arrange a taxi.

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

Very close to the subway station, with access to buses to the airport.

★ 10.0Family with Children

Using the transits everyday was quite stressful in itself, especially with 2 kids.

★ 8.0Family

We arrived here by chauffeur, and our bags were immediately taken.

★ 10.0Family

A little out from main attractions but close to transport options

Guests generally find the gym clean, well-equipped, and above average for a hotel, with Life Fitness equipment and eight treadmills noted. It supports workouts alongside the pool, though some guests consider it very small, report nonworking machines, or feel it falls below five-star standards.

Gym could be more spacious but not going to complain for machines, etc were great.

★ 9.0Extended Group

It is spacious and has 8 running machines, with good quality equipment.
