General: The Ginza Capital Moegi is a clean, modern hotel, about 1.5 km walking from the Ginza station, but very close to another (smaller) subway stop.||||The rooms: The rooms are small (which is standard for Tokyo), but offer everything you need for comfort - a mini fridge, coffee and tea, a water boiler, usb outlets, a converter/charger cable, a tv, a well-working air conditioner, a small but very well equipped and extremely clean bathroom, complete with 3/4 tub and over the tub shower, plus a sink and toilet (all toiletries are supplied free of charge, including shampoo and conditioner, as well as facial soap and a variety of other products). The beds are a bit hard, but that seems to be standard in Tokyo. ||||Breakfast: Breakfast can be included, or purchased separately. One can choose between "Western" style and Japanese style breakfast; Western style is in-house, while Japanese style is next door. The Western breakfast is not completely "Western", but does offer fresh fruit, small pieces of bread and croissants, scrambled egg, coffee and juice. Do expect many odd items, usually not found in Western breakfasts, like steamed veggies, potato salad, bean salad, mixed lettuce and other unusual things as far as breakfast goes. But all in all, the Western breakfast was nice, not great, but nice. The Japanese breakfast has a lot wider spread of items, but is definitely not Western at all, so only go here if you prefer this type of food or want to try something new; lots of fish, kelp, tofu, rice, etc. Very yummy, but also very authentic, which is not for everyone. ||||The area: The hotel area is relatively quiet, albeit it on a big road. There are many fun local Japanese eateries nearby, as well as a Denny's (American food) right next door. Across the street there is a Family Mart and just across the road nextdoor a Lawson. Closer to the nearest subway station there is a 7 Eleven. ||||Conclusion: All in all, we had a wonderful experience. The staff was hit or miss, but the majority was extremely friendly and most spoke English, which is...

Read moreStayed here four nights in early September. Great sized rooms with a love seat and close to two subways. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the heart of Ginza. Another positive is that there is a free purified water dispenser in reception. Breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about. You can choose to have either a western style or Japanese style buffet breakfast. The bathrooms also come with full and generous amenities, including body and face cleansing oil and lotion.||||The only disappointing thing was that I left a pair of pyjama shorts in my bed and they disappeared. I can only assume that housekeeping accidentally took my shorts when they changed the bed. I informed reception, but reception informed me that housekeeping said they didn't have any shorts and the cleaner said they couldn't find it either. I was disappointed that I wasn't given an apology and with one of the staff I interacted with when I requested an update. He interrupted me and asked me to wait a minute before I finished my story. He made a call and then asked me to sit down. When I asked "okay, but what am I waiting for?" he just told me to sit down, which I thought was quite rude, but perhaps it was the language barrier. ||||I asked reception if they could post the shorts to Australia if they found it and they said no, as they didn't ship overseas. I expressed that that seemed rather unfair, as it wasn't my fault housekeeping accidentally took my shorts, and it's not like a pair of shorts would be expensive to post. When I said that, they said they would make an exception and post it if they found it.||||I was informed on my last day that no one had my shorts. I suppose I'll never really know whether that's true or whether they just don't want to mail it to Australia. Disappointed because those were my favourite...
