Hotel Amanek Ginza East — Hotel in Tokyo

This was my third visit to Japan and normally stay in this area of the city due to it's distance from Tokyo Station and attractions. The hotel is a short half a block away from Shintomicho Station, located a block away from a 7-11, laundromat, and numerous food locations of all types. It is a very safe and laidback neighborhood that seems very popular as a place a lot of businesspeople seem to visit with co-workers after work. ||The front desk staff has to be the friendliest and most welcome I have ever met and offered the choice of three cleaning service types (regular, eco-friendly, or no service). I opted for the eco-friendly for my four-night stay and was given three bottles of water and the choice of 3 snacks or room amenities. Every time I would leave or return, they would greet me, which made me feel very welcome.||While the size of the room may look small, which is the norm for hotel rooms in Japan, it really doesn't bother me and space is available to store my luggage under the bed and out of the way. Everything in the room was spotless and the bathroom was pretty sizable with a nice walk-in Japanese-style bath area.||I normally stay a block away at another hotel, but Amanek has definitely proven to be better. I definitely plan to return when I visit Tokyo again in the next...

Let’s start with cleanliness. This hotel was very clean. My daughter and I were very happy with the accommodations from that perspective. Location. The hotel is just around the corner from a metro stop: ShintoMicho. I mean less than a minute walk. That’s probably important for Minnie during the summer months and probably during the winter months too. Size. The room, as you would expect, is quite small – at least the one that we stayed in. We had one king bed to share (which was big enough to accommodate us both) but getting around the room was a nightmare for me. I’m almost 50 and a large guy. It wasn’t great for my knees or my back. Haha. but I don’t think I can blame the hotel for my issues. It was clean, cozy, and the reception/manager was very kind.||One last thing. The Thai restaurant right in front of the hotel, the Pink Elephant, is amazing. I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to food, but this food was great. It seems to be a family ordeal and they treated me very nicely- though language may have been a barrier. We communicated through smiles and pointing.||As in all things, choose your hotel carefully. The price, location, and cleanliness were all very desirable. My only issue isn’t the size as much as it is the layout. Again, I probably could’ve chosen a...

A very minimal hotel as advertised. It is clean, staff are friendly, and it is located in Ginza technically.The down side is that even though we know the room is small, its still smaller than we expected. The room can barely allow for two suitcases to open at the same time.Travellers should note that the hotel only provide turndown service once a week. Meaning if you stay for less than 5 days you dont get any turndown service although clean towels are provided daily.The location of the hotel is on the east side od Ginza but in reality closer to Tsukiji than it is heart of Ginza. It's easy to get to the F line metro but you'll have to make a connection if you are heading to main tourists attractions, or walk 13 mins to Ginza line metro.Overall,for the price they charged, it's probably good value provided. Recommended for those who are on a budget and wants to stay relatively closed to city center (Chuo district) without...
