Tokyu Stay Ginza

I stayed here for two weeks with my husband during cherry blossom season. I chose this location because I wanted to stay in Ginza and that it has a washer/dryer machine. PROS: This location is close to 2 metro stations (Ginza Station - 5-6 minute walk) and Higashi-Ginza Station (1-2 minute walk). It was unfortunate that there was 1-2 metro entrances for the Higashi-Ginza Station that was under construction so I had to utilize a further one. No biggie as its great to have more than one metro line to travel around Tokyo. Tip: If you need to pick up the 72 hour metro card, there's a vending machine at Ginza Station. I highly recommend you use this to travel using the metro line (i.e., the subway/train lines that have a O and not a square). No issues with the laundry machine other than I recommend you start the load when you are traveling around Tokyo in the day time (i.e., don't run the machine at night because it will get hot if you have the dryer cycle running). Room: I got one of the smaller rooms with the hotel (moderate-double size bed) because I was on a budget. If I could afford it, I would definitely recommending splurging and booking the bigger ones. The room was great other than one small clog in the shower which the hotel promptly fixed. I gotta say, I was amazed with the brand of soap, body wash and hair products during the stay. It was by far one of my favorites. Don't forget to ask the front desk for the same brand [POLA] face wash samples. The kettle and microwave was a nice added touch. The view was nice and bed was comfortable. It did the job. The house-keeping was always prompt and respectful of our items in our room. No issues, staff was great. This location is located very close to 7-11, Family Mart and Lawsons. I had no issues walking to all three and heading back to my room to eat. Note: The hotel has two entrances and the back entrance is really convenient for taxi/uber to pick you up, as oppose to the one facing the main street. I had no issues with my uber driver finding the back entrance of this hotel. Another reason why I enjoyed this hotel is that if you walk 5 minutes towards Muji/Uniqlo stores, they do close the entire main street down on Sundays so tourists/guests may enjoy the entire streets of the heart of Ginza. CONS: Room was just a tad too small, elevator can be quite slow at times depending on how many guests are using it. I thought it was awkward that the hotel room door opened outward instead of inward. Just be careful when you open and hope no one is on the other side.
