Good hotel in a quiet neigborhood in Akasaka/Midtown area close to 3 subway lines. Taxi drivers know the hotel as Hoteru Asia Kaikan, 15 min taxi drive to Tokyo Station (2500-3000 yen). Rooms are small, but relatively comfortable (AC, TV, small fridge, electric kettle,bathroom). Washing machines available. Bottled water, tea, available in lobby. Use of PC 100 yen/10 min, wifi in lobby/restaurant and rooms is different (you have to hook up twice).
Breakfast had very good/standard assortment (scrambled eggs/bacon is outstanding), however is opened 7-10 am only (should be 6.30-10.30). Jetlegged foreigners are asked to leave the restaurant at 10 am sharp 😟 which is not nice!
We have hoped to experience some Japanese cultural lessons as advertised, but to our disappointment there was nothing during our 2 stays (6 nights). There was one lesson per week or so at 8.30 am, which is for foreigners with jetleg not covenient (should be in late afternoon). A presentatation of Japanese culture for 20-30 min each day would be fine.
Reception staff is helpfull (ordering taxi, suitcase weight scale available), English communication OK. If rooms are available, early check-in is possible for 5000 yen).
There is a money exchange machine in the lobby, rates are the same as at exchange counters at airport.
The only issue we had was very dirty AC outlet full of mold☹️ On request, room was changed immediately.
