I've stayed here at least four different times when I've come to Tokyo. There are three main reasons I keep returning:
1. Location- I don't like lugging my bags far. When you come in from Narita the NEX takes you to Tokyo station. Also, when you come in from other parts of Japan, Tokyo station is the main stop on the Shinkansen. Taking your bags on local trains is a nightmare, but getting a cab here can take a while with the long lines and cost you some big bucks too. I can walk to Remm Hibiya within 20 minutes from Tokyo station. That saves time, money, and hassle. The location is convenient to get around Tokyo as well. There are so many train stations within walking distance including JR and subway lines. It is easy to quickly reach any part of Tokyo from here.
2. Price - It varies based on how you book and the season, but I have stayed here for anywhere between $120-150 a night. If you check other hotels in this area, you will pay significantly more.
3. Comfort - The beds here are heavenly! I always have a great night's sleep here. The only time I didn't sleep through the night, was last year when an earthquake woke me up. Otherwise, I am out like a light until morning!
This year will be the first year in several years I am not staying here. The only reason I'm not is I am coming in late from Haneda instead of Narita. If you think of this as a nicer business hotel, I think you'll be more than satisfied. I've seen complaints about the size of the room, but I have had way smaller in Tokyo. There is a comfy bed, big tv, and a nice shower with good quality toiletries, and the whole city waiting outside to be explored. The front desk is happy to keep your bags if you are early or are leaving the city later. All this to be comfortably centrally located in one of the world's biggest cities at way less than $200?! What's not to like?
