Dai Ichi Hotel Annex

Outstanding Hotel

The Dai Ichi Annex was a fantastic hotel. It was very near multiple subway lines, and only 1000 yen taxi drive from Tokyo station where you would get on or off the shinkansen. There is a bus that goes from the hotel to the airport for about 3000 yen. The staff were extremely helpful, and the room was very comfortable and included internet access. I will try to stay here every time I travel to Tokyo.

Unacceptable

this is the worst hotel I stayed at in all of japan. bad service, bad attitude, disgusting and tiny rooms, where everything is broken. there are tons of places to stay in tokyo that cost much less for better quality. they seem to go out of their way to make your stay unpleasant.

Beware!

Incompetant, can't -be-bothered attitude. Told a business aquaintance that called that I had checked out, causing no end of problems. When confronted with this when I did actually check out, they would not admit any wrongdoing, and no apologies were offered. Rooms and facilities are unacceptable for the price paid.

Racist

Staff is generally cold, unfriendly, unsmiling and unhelpful. rooms are tiny and dimly lit with black scuff marks on the walls. bathrooms are filthy with hair from previous guests in the corners, lighting fixtures were falling off the walls. When I asked the concierge to make a reservation, he at first refused, but reluctantly picked up the phone where, assuming I could not understand japanese, I heard him use a racial slur with the party on the other end. Tellingly, when we turned up for the reservation we received such bad service that we had to walk out.

Excellent English-Speaking Staff

The hotel staff speaks excellent English and is quite accommodating. The concierge assisted with booking tours and arranging transportation, making staying here a breeze. The location is convenient to Japan Rail, and there are plenty of restaurants and shopping in the area. The room and hotel overall was without any fault. I would stay here again as a tourist, highly recommend.

a good deal

Well located, affordable, friendly staff. It is my second visit, and as with the first one, quite satisfied overall

Wonderful Location!

This Hotel is right in the heart of a business district on a JR Line. It is easy to get to from Narita (we took the N'EX) and even has a long underground tunnel to the train station across the street. THere lots of cheap places to eat and drink nearby as the office workers want to grab a bite to eat before they get on the train or drink away the thoughts of the day at work (or their wives!) We brought gifts for friends, and TSA and opened the boxes when we left the US, but the very friendly guest services lady was able to re-wrap them for us. She was outstanding. The roomsat the Dai Ichi Hotel ANNEX where small but wonderfully cozy. We stayed on the 5th floor, and it was a non-smoking floor. Other reviews complained of smoke smells, but we did not experience this at all. Everything was clean and orderly.

best value

Superb value, near to major subway and train station (Shimbashi Station), direct bus to/from airport, wide selection of restaurants nearby. I've been to Japan over 100x over 25 years and always service, cleanliness is par for the course. the Annex rooms are a bit small, but fine and well-appointed if you don't need a fancy lobby or other hotel amenities. The option is to pay a bit more and stay in the main building, bigger rooms, bar, etc. If you pay extra to have breakfast buffet included, it's only average in my opinion.

To be recommended

If you are looking for a more affordable hotel with 5+ star service look no further. Great little hotel in a great location. However, the rooms are on the smaller side, which is to be expected in Tokyo downtown. If you like it more quiet ask for a room in the back of the hotel.

Great Room and Location

The room is larger than most at this price. The location is terrific with lots of restaurants and easy access to the subway and train lines. The staff are extremely helpful and speak very good English.
