Hotel Monterey Hanzomon

Hotel Monterey Hanzomon has received high praise for its proximity to the station, within walking distance of the Budokan, and the opportunity to go for an early morning run around the Imperial Palace. It opened in September 2006, making it newer than Monterey Ginza and around the same time as Monterey Akasaka, which opened in April 2007. I was able to use the Nationwide Travel Subsidy program, so I decided to stay at a slightly more expensive hotel.

4. Basic information

1. Access from the station

• At Hanzomon Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, take the escalator near Oshiage Station and head towards Exit 5. If you are using the Hanzomon Line on your way back, you will need to go down to the platform using the stairs inside the ticket gate, so go back down the left-hand passage and enter the ticket gate at the end, where you will find an elevator going down to the platform.

• At Exit 5, there is an upward escalator and an elevator to ground level at the back, so it's convenient to use the elevator on your way back.

2. Hotel Monterey Hanzomon

• It has a slightly more luxurious feel than a business hotel.

• Lobby in front of the front desk

• There are 340 rooms at the front desk, so if it gets crowded you might have to line up in two lines.

• The hallway, my room was on the 7th floor. Even though the entire building is non-smoking, the hallway still smelled of cigarettes, which was disappointing.

• A 14.1㎡ single room was 10,500 yen (tax included) with instant use of Ikyu points, but after the travel support discount, it was 8,400 yen

• The closet set included a deodorizing spray and three hangers. It was a little difficult to use.

• Mineral service on the table

• Sharp Plasmacluster air purifier

• Tiger water heater

• refrigerator

• There was instant coffee, black tea, green tea, sugar and creamer.

• There were two pairs of slippers, perhaps to change into after taking a bath.

• The loungewear was comfortable and separate.

• The bathroom was recently renovated and was very clean.

• There are no amenities such as cotton swabs, hair bands, or shower caps, but there is no need to bother picking them up at the front desk.

• bathtub

• Kao, Reana

• Panasonic hair dryer

• The view from the window shows construction starting next door.

• I had planned to eat out, but it started to rain, so I bought a healthy bento lunch at the nearby Maruetsu supermarket.

• I bought a croissant aux almonds for breakfast for ¥367 at Le Grenier à Pain near the hotel, which is open until 8:30pm on weekdays, so I was able to buy one even after 7pm. The baguettes are from a famous shop that has won two championships in Paris.

• Mango pudding ¥650 and strawberry pudding ¥800 from Sembikiya (Haneda Airport Terminal 2 B1) purchased with a coupon from "Tadaima Tokyo Plus"
