Dai-Ichi Hotel - Tokyo

Location left something to be desired

The room was fine (large enough size and lots of amenities) and the service was great (especially the patience of the concierge), but we were unhappy with the location. It was advertised as being in the Ginza district, but the appearance of the surroundings was seedy.

Great hotel, even greater price

Right in the middle of Ginza district. Outstanding service - will put to shame any Western hotel service. Beautiful large rooms (for Japanese standards) with more than expected amenities. Prices for restaurants in the hotel are a tad pricey. But VERY classy hotel!

Pleasantly Surprised

I know Tokyo but in 20 years of traveling there I never stayed at Dai Ichi Shimbashi. Most convenient location for business and very very decent hotel for the price. Bye bye Shinagawa.

Excellent hotel - very luxurious and great deal

If you are looking for luxury at a reasonable price this is the best hotel - the location is in the heart of Tokyo which might be a bit too touristy but, very nice. the rooms exceeded our expectations - they were large (by any standards), beautifully decorated, clean - just fabulous. The service at the hotel is outstanding as well - people are extremely polite and helpful (especially useful in a country where they don't speak english). I would highly, highly recommend this hotel.

Adapting to Tokyo

The Dai-Ichi is a great transition to Japan if you are a first time visitor and have just stumbled off the 12-14 hour flight from the states. The hotel is western-styled so you have a chance to ease your transition into the Japanese culture. The staff were very excellent and quite helpful. I had lost my cell phone on the airport bus and they helped me to track it down and get it back. They even delivered it to my room for me! That's service

Excellent Service

Staff was very helpful, everyone was very tentative to our requests and helped us with directions. This hotel was perfect for my wife and I, who enjoy traveling and experiencing the culture. This hotel is walking distance to the Ginza where there is great shopping and to the Shimbashi station where you can catch a train or subway to anywhere in the city. I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends.

Outstanding Hotel

great hotel, great service, great location....would definitely stay there again....only negative is the fitness facilities/equipment needs to be upgraded.

Excellent stay

More than I expected, this hotel was wel located in Ginza. Service was excellent, very clean and employees were well educated, polite and helful. I will come back to this hotel anytime and recommend it to anyone. 150% rating + 10 stars

Luxurious Hotel

Within walking distance to the JR Station. Staff very helpful with resturant recommendations and directions to sight-seeing, etc. Room is nice and large--we had 3 adults. Bathroom is very large. Beautiful view of Tokyo Tower.

Great hotel, Service fair

The hotel is beautiful, in a great location, and has many wonderful amenities. It is quite large for a hotel in Japan and VERY close to the subway making it very convenient. Their was noise from the subway but not enough to disrupt sleep even for the ligbt sleeper. The room was OUTSTANDING and was very clean. A five star hotel in the States. However upon arrival they tried to add on another $40 per night for our daughter which has already been accounted for and paid for in the reservation. After much hassle they finally let us have the room without the extra fee. However for the room we paid for a couple of days prior with our AAA reservation they would not remove the additional fee. The service personnel was cordial and respectful however did not quite feel a warm welcome as in a five star hotel in the States. Overall an OUTSTANDING hotel just wish the service was a little friendlier.

Very Japanese hotel

Everything was alright. Two things...There are way too few foreigners in hotel lobby (Most are Japanese) especially Japanese gather for lunch at lobby level. Lobby is literally shut down after midnight. No piano, no singing, no nothing. Only one lamp on. Not a single person after midnight. So it seems like definetely a good place for people who just want clean, nice, convenient place to sleep. If you are looking for western style bar crowded place, this is not the right hotel.
