Hotel Villa Fontaine Tokyo - Nihombashi Mitsukoshimae

“Small rooms, good service”

This is a small hotel, reasonably priced considering it is in the centre of Tokyo. The only hotel I have been in where the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom, the double bed was pushed up against the wall. So not much storage space if you bring lots of luggage.

This is a small hotel, reasonably priced considering it is in the centre of Tokyo. The only hotel I have been in where the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom, the double bed was pushed up against the wall. So not much storage space if you bring lots of luggage. Staff were very helpful, however English a struggle. They booked for us a visit to sumo stable around an hour away, but still in Tokyo, what an adventure, and leap of faith on our part, since we knew barely any Japanese, or could read an address, or speak to a taxi driver, but hotel arranged it all. Breakfast, not to my taste. Other, better options nearby. If ever in Tokyo again, would have no problems staying here, well situated, very safe area.

“Close to subway, excellent customer service”

Stay there for more than a week. The location is excellent as the Mitsukosamie station is very close to a lot of tourist attractions and tokyo station. It cost about 690 yen to 810 yen from tokyo station for taxi to the hotel. The closest metro exit is B1 in the corodo building next to Tamiz stor... more

Stay there for more than a week. The location is excellent as the Mitsukosamie station is very close to a lot of tourist attractions and tokyo station. It cost about 690 yen to 810 yen from tokyo station for taxi to the hotel. The closest metro exit is B1 in the corodo building next to Tamiz store (stairs), A4 or A5(elevator). After exit only take a few minutes walk and it is easy to find. There are grocery store and family mart on its way. Hotel staff can communicate with English and very very accommodating. If you don't want to join the hotel for breakfast, there is an affordable upscale coffee shop next to the B1 exit. It opens early. The area is surrounded by expensive upscale shops and stores. It is very very convenient to take few subway stops to either Ginza or Ueno for food. The only downside is that this is a business area, so after office hours like 7 or 8. is very very quiet during weekdays. so you may want to take the cab from tokyo station when it is dark. weekend is busy. In terms of room size, we booked the cheapest room type. The size compare to other that we stayed before, this hotel is much more make sense and we can at least move around with luggages. I cannot say it is big but it is much better than a lot of hotels. the airport limo bus is leaving at the Tokyo Station Tekko Building and is about 1450 yen with big cab and luggages. A lot of business people stay in this hotel with sometimes a few travellers. So the hotel overall i say very quiet and we really enjoy the stay.

“Great small hotel in a quiet and safe neighborhood ”

It suits my style , as I have been to Tokyo more than 10 times visiting friends and colleagues so I am done with the noisy neighbourhoods of Tokyo. There is a big 7 eleven and a maruetsu supermarket nearby and access to 2 metro lines. I have a double room for myself as I need space for a big lu... more

It suits my style , as I have been to Tokyo more than 10 times visiting friends and colleagues so I am done with the noisy neighbourhoods of Tokyo. There is a big 7 eleven and a maruetsu supermarket nearby and access to 2 metro lines. I have a double room for myself as I need space for a big luggage. Breakfast is filling but need to eat fast as it is also a local business hotel where many stayed during weekdays. In case there are lift repairs, please ask and ‘open’ your eyes for notices. Great place and polite service. They can help book taxi to TCAT station. Feel free to ask me more.

“Still stingy, now with a construction going on ....”

I just stayed a couple of days in this hotel. Beware they are in a huge construction although they don’t disclose it in their advertising. I was almost canceling the whole stsy when they offered me an uograde to the 12th floor, still too small but at least hardly any noise. The other reception gi... more

I just stayed a couple of days in this hotel. Beware they are in a huge construction although they don’t disclose it in their advertising. I was almost canceling the whole stsy when they offered me an uograde to the 12th floor, still too small but at least hardly any noise. The other reception girl actually was trying to sell me an early (2pm!!!) check-in and the aforementioned uograde. So a good...mhhh....kind of, good deal. They actually took out the second bathing towel and hand towel on the second day ,even the 2nd tooth brush, being a single occupant. Kind of typical for their generosity. Not impressed, not disappointed. Too small for too much money. Well, Tokyo. Next metro is Mitsukoshimae. Practical. There is a free bus to Tokyo Station somewhere but nobody I asked could speak English or French or Soanish...the receptionists from the last days included.... Wifi wasn’t consistent, TV had no,none....English channel....are you serious ?
