Hotel Wing International Premium Tokyo Yotsuya

the Wing International Yotsuya is very well located, one block away from one of the main Tokyo subway lines (Marunouchi line), it was really easy for us to go anywhere in Tokyo from the hotel. the room was a little bigger than the usual hotel rooms in Tokyo, small but very comfortable. the hotel offered 24h free hot tea, coffee and amenities like bath and personal care supplies (disposable razors, shower towels, q-tips, etc). we payed to have the breakfast included, and it not disappointed: it was a really good buffet with Japanese-style breakfast (fresh cooked rice, curry sauce, various japanese pickles, grilled fish, miso soup, salads) and some Western foods too (fresh baked pancakes, croissants, omelet, bacon, sausages, yogurt and cereal). we had a great time.

Hotel is located in a quieter, less busy suburb in the Shinjuku area. Plenty of restaurants nearby and the Metro (Yotsuya-Sanchome) is only a 2 minute walk away. The Marunouchi line that serves this area is super convenient to get to major stations such as Shinjuku (connections to Haneda via bus and Narita via express train) and Tokyo. (Note that this is the Metro NOT JR, so if you got a JR pass you cannot use it here). I recommend checking out the Fire Department's Museum that is adjacent to the station exit closest to the hotel (Exit 2) as it is a hidden gem filled with wonderful historical artifacts about the history of fire fighting in Japan as well as interactive exhibits for the kids. Signs are in both Japanese and English and admission is free. The extra bed we requested was just as comfortable as our regular beds and the room was large enough that we were still able to fit our luggage with a bit of wriggling. Bathroom was clean and although housekeeping only starts after the third night unless requested, we could still get clean towels every day. What impressed us the most during our stay was the hotel breakfast. It was a buffet style with a variety of both Western (bacon, sausage, etc) and Japanese (salted salmon, miso soup, etc) offerings. A must try is the hotel's signature french toast cooked to order in a small pizza oven. It was the most delicious french toast we've ever had and you can choose from a variety of toppings such as chocolate cream and marmalade to put on it. We had several helpings of it every day during our stay!

Superb location, 5 minutes walk to nearest subway station. Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel rooms very clean.

Our final accommodation during our two week Japan trip. It’s located very conveniently to a Metro station, convenience stores and plenty of good eats. Bonus is the amenities bar and free coffee machines in the lobby! Although the room was quite basic, it was roomy enough for two people plus luggage. The shower is a generous size (and the rail/tub curve outward to give a bit more space too). We had a nice view of the city skyline. We had breakfast at Bistro W next door; the French toast is incredible! Secured luggage storage was extremely handy for our 8pm flights on the day of checkout, however the space is limited.

I'm not sure of the difference but my Genius Level gave me a free room upgrade - which I think only affected the room size by a few m2. The room is small, but you're not in Tokyo to stay in your room. The bed was very comfortable, we had a decent view as well. I did need to google translate the heater controls but otherwise the room was everything we needed albeit cramped. The bathroom - I was very impressed with. The shower is in a deep bathtub which is common place in Japan, however the shower rail for the curtain was thoughtfully bowed outwards away from the tub which created more room and meant the curtain didn't continuously get stuck to your skin. Something small but very cool. We did use it as a bathtub one night, I wouldn't recommend having 2 people in it haha. Breakfast was included and was pretty tasty with goo variety. There is a train station nearby, and a couple of options for food, but this is by no means a major area.
