Quintessa Hotel Tokyo Ginza

“Great for First Time in Tokyo”

Exactly what we needed for our first few nights in Tokyo, Japan to get a feel for the area. Microwave and amenities in the lobby were very useful and central to lots of eateries and transport. Would definitely recommend staying here for your first time in Tokyo.

“Decent hotel with good location in Tokyo”

“Great location but otherwise improvements needed”

If you would like to be close enough to the main strip in Ginza, then this hotel is good and won't cost you a fortune. The walk to the main shopping district in Ginza is about 10 minutes.

If you would like to be close enough to the main strip in Ginza, then this hotel is good and won't cost you a fortune. The walk to the main shopping district in Ginza is about 10 minutes. This is also situated 5 minutes away from the closest Tokyo metro station that could take you to other popular areas in Tokyo in 20-30 minutes. The rooms are fairly comfortable. For travelers who prefers room that are pitch dark during your sleep this is perfect as the blinds block 99.99% of the light even if it's blasting sun outside. There are convenience stores, restaurants and shops within 5 minutes walk that would satisfy the basic needs while travelling. Staff are friendly and helpful. Now on the flip side, the rooms are extremely small. We stayed in a double room that was merely 14 square meters large and we had difficulty opening two large sized suitcases. The desk next to the bed is small and for ladies who have plenty of gadgets at the beginning of the day for make up then this could be chaotic. The bathroom is clean but again small but acceptable. These "size" issues are atypical of a lot of mid range priced hotels. Specifically to Quintessa, I think although the rooms look clean visually, there is a potential issue with dust. We stayed for 6 nights and at the end of our stay we could find dust collecting on top of our suitcases. As I am super sensitive to dust, my nasal allergy did not have a good time. We asked for extra pillows and both pillow cases had stains on it which we thought being an extremely hygienic country we would never encounter in Japan. The toilet seat when we checked in on the first day looked inadequately cleaned and the fridge had a smell that were from food from the last guests. (The smell remained for the entire stay and we refrained from using the fridge altogether.) Overall was an average stay mainly due to its location and the reasonable rates but some core improvements suggested and probably not the best choice if you need more space.
