Review of The Westin Hotel Tokyo

I stayed at three hotels on this recent stay in To...

I stayed at three hotels on this recent stay in Tokyo - The Hyatt Regency Tokyo, The Andaz Hyatt Toranomon, and the Westin Tokyo - and the Westin provided possibly the best service of the three. The service at the Andaz was also impressive and on par with a luxury hotel. But, the Westin seemed to take it to another level.

Comparatively however, the rooms at the Westin were smaller than the Andaz, and had an older motif. The room was immaculate as expected of most any Japan hotel, especially a luxury one. The complimentary water, tea and coffee was also a nice touch.

The bathroom provided both a shower and a tub, however they were separated. The shower stall being on one end of the spacious bathroom, and the tub on the other end. I also appreciated the large counter area for my toiletries.

The King room that I requested wasn't available upon arrival (I got there 30 minutes before the 2:00 PM check-in time. The front desk however was very accommodating in preparing a room with two semi-double beds in lieu of the King size room. That worked perfectly for us. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Needless to say, I slept well.

Quite possibly the best feature of this hotel is the location. The Westin is located right next to Glass Square which features a variety of restaurants, the Ebisu Beer Museum, and some shops. About 5 to 10 minutes away is the Ebisu Station which is accessible via a series of moving walkways down a long corridor. Near the station is Ebisu Yokocho, restaurants, and cafes. All in all, I'd say that the location here was the best of all of the hotels I've stayed in Tokyo thus far.

My stay at the Westin was awesome. I'd definitely stay here again.
