1899 Hotel

I cannot even describe how incredible this hotel was for our first stay in Tokyo. Every detail of our trip was artfully and carefully done. The rooms were smaller but that is very much par for the course in Japan and what should expected at most hotels compared to Western style. The rooms was perfectly cleaned once you placed the sign on the door and water stocked daily, which was a lifesaver. I highly recommend the tea service, which was so wonderful, artful and done with such care. The breakfast is extra but WELL worth the price. It had a massive variety of food and so many interesting and unique foods. I know I will miss the Macha muffins when I am home. I recommend making your own tea or trying your tea of the day at the drink station. The location was close to many stations and to Tokyo Tower. The area of the city was very quiet and calm. I never slept so well on vacation. The staff was attentive to our every need and were very patient with our English/broken Japanese. I cannot recommend Hotel 1899 more and hope to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, in particular the tea house inspired aesthetic. The taxi driver didn't know where it was, so it is probably fairly new. The staff were lovely and the included tea service was a nice way to wind down after a day exploring the streets of Tokyo. The tea quality is good too- we bought some to take home with us. The amenities provided are comprehensive and all tea inspired. They smell great! The cleaning is spot on. We got the larger corner room, but although the room is large by Japanese standards, the beds took up most of the room. We loved the bidet and Japanese style bath. The beds might be a bit firm for some but we slept well. There are multiple konbini within a short walking distance so an egg sando is never far away, as well as a very reasonably priced Michelin rated tempura restaurant. We didn't try the hotel restaurant but it looked nice. We felt safe walking around at night. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to Shimbashi station, and there are many izakayas a short walk away. Ginza is within walking distance (more like 20-30 minutes). This hotel would suit people looking for a clean, Japanese style and good value hotel, in the fairly central location but quiet location of Shimbashi (well connected to multiple subway lines). It probably wouldn't suit people who want a huge luxurious room, or lots of facilities at their hotel (it doesn't have a gym, bar or pool). For us it ticked nearly all the boxes and we'd happily stay here again.

We stayed here twice and both times made a great experience here. The hotel is beautiful and modern - the rooms are small (not for a Tokyo standard) but cozy and don’t lack any feature you would want to have. ||They do not offer a baby bed but the room came equipped with other baby amenities such as a diaper bin and a barrier to pretend the baby from rolling out of the bad. They have a bath tub and a nice size bath. Everything is modern and accessible via tablet. ||Staff was very friendly and helpful. ||They even offer a matcha experience which was a special highlight and an absolute usp for the hotel which is overall strongly matcha themed - which I loved! ||The breakfast on the other hand for me was not a highlight and for me the worst of my stay. I do love small portions that are prepared fresh - but they lacked a little variety here especially for picky European eaters which I am not one of them - but my wife and kid.

The hotel is amazing. Very small, cozy and clean.. provides pyjamas plus full amenities including face cream etc.. the location is a distance(around 10-13 mins walk) but there are plenty of convenient stores and food options available.. would definitely want to return and explore more of the shimbashi area..

Overall, we had a pleasant stay here. The rooms are on the smaller side as expected in a lot of stays in Tokyo, but they're designed very functionally. The matcha tea ceremony was a cool experience, and literally everything down to the bathroom toiletries were matcha/tea-themed (they smelled amazing btw). The hotel itself is situated in a pretty quiet area, about 10 min from two different train stations. Best part of our stay was definitely the breakfast - everything was freshly prepared and tasted amazing - honestly we looked forward to the breakfast every morning. It's not a huge buffet with lots of American-style choices (pancakes, bacon, hash browns etc.) so I can imagine some travelers might not enjoy it, but it was probably the best breakfast I've had in any hotel.

I sincerely enjoyed staying at 1899 Hotel in Tokyo. The location was nearby a train station so we were able to easily walk with our luggage from the train to the hotel. It was also on a quiet street and right across from a 711. They had fantastic complimentary teas and a great breakfast buffet, all tea themed. The hotel lobby and cafe had a very zen ambiance. A great place to relax after a long day of walking.

Wonderful hotel, about a 15 minute walk from Shimbashi Station.. The hotel is located in a quiet safe neighborhood .We stayed in 2 different room types. one where the sink was in the bathroom and the other where it was next to the bed. I preferred the former since I am used to that kind of layout but the iother room was very nice too. The staff was very nice and welcoming and the freshly made tea each morning was a great amenity. Its not close to many of the attractions first time visitors like to visit but I didn’t mind it. It made it feel like you were really coming home each night to a quiet restful place. Would highly recommend.

The 1899 Hotel is beautifully designed, with a calm, refined atmosphere throughout, and we were very glad we chose to stay here twice on our recent trip. We loved the matcha theme and the complimentary matcha experience - watching it being prepared so carefully was a lovely and unique touch that really set the experience apart. Check-in was smooth and friendly. The rooms were sensibly sized and very well designed, thoughtfully laid out and very comfortable. The location is excellent - a pleasant walk to Ginza and even to TeamLab, and close to two stations - our go-to hotel in Tokyo.

Very cute tea-centered hotel that's not too close to stations, in a quiet neighborhood with lovely interior design/amenities! This was our sixth and final hotel in Japan during a recent 2-week stay. This was surprisingly far from the nearest subway entrance for being located in Tokyo, and we ended up taking a couple taxi/Ubers since our feet were tired by this point in the trip! The ground floor is a cafe which had pretty limited hours, I think there were complimentary matcha/tea hours in the morning but I never personally saw them open... also I believe breakfast is down here and it seems like it was included in the past but it was an additional charge when I visited in June 2024! As for the room - very modern/high-tech and lovely! The entryway light had a motion-sensor and while there wasn't a ton of space (this is Tokyo after all), they managed to make the existing space feel roomy! The toilet/shower area was huge compared to the other hotels we visited, this may be partly due to the sink being in the main room area next to the desk/bed. I was pleasantly surprised by all the face/bath amenities available in a box next to the sink, as well as the snacks/fancy tea bags with the water heater and tea cups! Something else unique about this room was the tablet next to the bed - this had the alarm clock, useful links/Q&A, as well as extra controls for lighting. It definitely wasn't necessary but it felt like a fun detail that elevated the experience just enough! For the price, I would've expected a bit more of a central location, but overall I still had a great experience/relaxing experience here!

Matcha and green tea themed hotel with a matcha restaurant on the ground floor. Take the elevator to the second floor for check-in. Don't miss the complimentary different styles of matcha drinks served by the check-in area in as traditional a way that one can. I like the bamboo water ladle. The rooms are spacious for Japan big city standards and feature green tea toiletries. Even their light fixtures mimi the matcha frothing brush. It's located quite close to a lot of eating and drinking districts. Interesting craft breweries are a block away. Tamiya model store was a fun place to stop and look at, too.

A small Japanese tea house hotel that has the old Japanese traditional tea influence with the modern day meals that was set up in the dining area. The typical Japanese hospitality at the front desk seems to be the norm everywhere you go. The front desk clerks were very helpful in accommodating us. The room is small but we've stayed in smaller hotel rooms before so the accommodations were sufficient. The bed was firmer, but it was fine. The breakfast buffet was very good for the price. Easy location to walk to the train station.

This hotel is considered as a "tea hotel" and I can see it. The ambience is clean and has a modern tea feel. A lot of woody vibes which reminds me of the Muji Hotel. Service is great like any other service in Japan. It's close to Ginza which is one of my favorite cities so that's a plus! The reason why I scored them a 4/5 is for the following reasons: they offer free breakfasts however it's always the same so after three days in a row of the same breakfast items, it gets mundane. This is a small hotel so there are not many rooms available. I'm use to staying at more Americanized hotels so the room we had was too small for my liking. The bed is incredibly hard. My body was sore throughout the whole trip and this is coming from someone who frequently naps on the floor. If you're going there and looking for omiyage (gifts), I would highly recommend purchasing their matcha waffles and teas!

A bit out of the way, but very nice. Venue is new and the place shows it. A/C is new and works great. I upgraded to a Superior room and am enjoying it very much. A 10 minute walk from JR Shinbashi station. Rooms are not as big as Dai Ichi, but amenities are new and of the latest technology. The price is much better than the the big name hotels near Tokyo station. Very pleased.
