Dai Ichi Hotel Annex

Good,clean comfortable business hotel in a convenient location

I recently stayed at this hotel on a 3 day business trip to Tokyo. The location was very good with convenient access to the JR trains. The selection of restaurants nearby were adequate with the added convenience of the 24hr McDonald’s less than a 5 minute walk away - good for a quick breakfast. The hotel room was a little bigger than the usual Tokyo "business hotel" and was comfortable enough. Two people may be a bit cramped though. The free internet service is a bonus. Staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful - I suppose that this comes with some of the staff having worked there for over 30 years. Being the Annex part of the main Dai Ichi Hotel, the services of the 5 star hotel are readily available should you need it. My next stay in Tokyo would definitely include the Dai Ichi Hotel Annex.

Take a good overcoat and be prepared for office buildings and the subway being quite warm.

Good value for Tokyo

The Dai Ichi Hotel Annex is right across a narrow street from the Dai Ichi Hotel. Convenient, just a three minute walk to the Shimbashi station. The room was in excellent condition, although slightly small by western standards. The staff was very courteous and helpful. An added plus is they upgraded me to a wider double bed room from a single room for no charge when I requested a non-smoking room (all single rooms are smoking). This may have had to do with extra rooms that were available, so it probably won’t work in all cases. On my next trip to Tokyo, I’ll book here again.

Probably the best price for its region

cheap, clean, nice service, close to subway stations, and close to many downtown attractions.
