- Prime location, walking distance to everything, 1 min walk to Underground station (Shimbashi) - I am a frequent traveller to Tokyo, but first time in Dai-Ichi. With good offer from Hotels.com it will not be the last. I stayed 7 nights at this hotel. -Breakfast at hotel is stupidely expensive as in all hotels in Tokyo (3000 JPY/40$ pp), same with […] the mini-bar (550 JPY/7,2$ for a small beer). But Lawson (kind of 7/11 kiosk) is open 24h just across the street to buy drinks and breakfast. Starbucks is also just 2 min walk towards Ginza. I tried two of the restaurants (the French in 2nd floor and the Teppanyaki on the top floor), both very good quality and service.Please be aware they have discount coupons in the room for guests. I got 30% at the Teppanyaki and 20% at the French. Airport Limousine Bus stops at hotel front door so easy access from Airport (3000 JPY pp /40$ one-way) I had a Superior room, and quality of the room was very good. Spacious bed, free high-speed Internet (not wifi), quite room even overlooking the main train lines. English newspaper at the door every morning. Gym/Swimming Pool in separate building, 1500 JPY pp /20$ for guests if you bring discount card from the room. Highly recomended Mehr

Had two rooms here for six nights. Great location with easy access to trains and local food and shopping options. Would highly recommend as a good central base while in Tokyo.

We stayed at 4 different hotels in Japan but Dai-ichi was the best in our opinion (we were 4 in our group in 2 rooms). The location was fantastic (right next to a major train line), next to Ginza. The hotel room and bathroom was huge by any standard and they had free wi-fi on offer. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. The lobby was simple […] but the rooms and restaurants were excellent. Mehr

when compared to the name brands US chains - this is a value at about the third of the price. the carpet in rooms are getting tired but very clean. the staff is great. i will definitely stay there again.

The hotel is very clean and nice. Well located near main subway and train lines. Walking distance to Ginza, Shimbashi and Shidome areas. Also close walking distance to the Imperial Palace. The hotel is also primary stop on the Airport Bus route. Friendly staff and quiet rooms.

Great hotel. We are impressed with the customer service. Very convenient.

Picked the Dai-Ichi for location in Ginza district, great price on hotels.com and good reviews. Gorgeous hotel, modern updates, excellent service and location. Stayed on the premiere floors which was worth it for the view and included breakfast. Highly recommend.

Spent a weekend here as a tourist after a week of business elsewhere in Japan. Dai-Ichi is a top quality hotel with high standards for comfort and service. Probably would not have stayed here at the standard rate, but Hotels.com shaved more than 60% from standard, making this an excellent deal. But beware, the cost of meals and drinks at the hotel can […] be a killer, albeit for top quality. Better to choose from a variety of cost-effective local restaurants at meal-time. Location is very central, close to the Ginza strip plus walking distance to Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and other landmarks. Also close to several Metro and JR stations, so it's easy to get around Tokyo from this spot. The only drawback is close proxiity to JR lines which run in front of the hotel, so train noise might be a problem for light sleepers. The level of guest service at this hotel is second to none. Staff went above and beyond to find information and respond to requests. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Tokyo for tourism purposes, provided you can get a discounted rate. Mehr

We did stay at this hotel for 4 nights and we are very happy with our choice. Hotel is very clean, quiet (although there is a train line right next to it), has that posh feeling of an old renowned hotel. It is very easy to travel from airports to this hotel and is very easy to travel from the hotel to different parts of Tokyo, as the hotel is just 2 […] min from a main train line (JR Yamanote). This is 10min walking to Ginza area and about 30min train ride to Shibuya, Shinjiku or Azacuza. Staff were very polite and helpful, free wi-fi, plenty of gizmos in the bathroom and a handy small shop just the other side of the street. Will go back if have a chance to visit Tokyo again. Mehr

The service and location of this hotel is unbeatable. Though the lobby is not as elaborate as some other 4 stars, the service was exceptional. The room was prepared as booked - the rollaway was as nice as the regular beds; the room was decent size, however, with the rollaway there wasn't much space left in the room. The location is excellent with both […] the Ginza district and the train station within 5 minutes of walking distance - getting anywhere was a breeze. The staff was extremely helpful; an attendant was in fact waiting outside for the bus to arrive and took care of the luggage right from there. We would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again and again. Mehr

The rooms are large, in perfect shape and the service is outstanding. The location is perfect - two blocks from the JR Shinbashi station and the Ginza subway line. Between them everything in Tokyo is easily accessible. Walking distance to the Ginza, Tsukiji Fish Terminal and other sights. The view from the top floor lounge is spectacular. Sure, breakfast […] is expensive, but there are several coffee shops close by. I have stayed at this hotel several times and I wouldn't go anywhere else in Tokyo. Mehr

I am not sure if non-Japanese owned hotel are having such a good sundry items and travel cosmetic set for both female and male. Location is very good, close to Mita-line, Ginza-line and JR. 5~10 min to Marunouchi by taxi so as to Narita Express. However a few things that i want them to change, 1. Cups that they have in a room, those are small tea cups […] for Japanese or Chinese tea. I prefere mug. 2. Have disposable filter coffee or instant coffee at least. 3. Cleaning is not super great. A few hair left in Bath tub Mehr

I got a very good deal from Hotels.com though the room is small as expected in Tokyo but still can accomodate 3 pax for asian, branded toiletries, limo bus arrive at doorstep, only Abercombie Flag ship store (11 floor) in Asia is at the Ginza, cheaper food near the JR trains station and there is a direct JR train to Henada Airport.

We were traveling in Japan and stayed at this hotel for one night. It was very clean and the room was fine. Like anything else in Tokyo the cost of breakfast was very expensive, but the stay was fine and the room was wonderful. I made the reservation on line and that worked out very nicely without problems. the only draw back it that it is very near […] the train tacks - some 6 sets worth and they ran most of the night so we could hear them. Mehr

Very professional, very welcoming. No complaints at all. The room was large and extremely well presented the bathroom was exceptionally large for Japan. All in all a wonderful Hotel would definatley recommend it and will certainly stay there again

I have stayed at this hotel 2 yrs ago and have loved it; therefore I chose this hotel again. The staff were very polite and helpful and most important they were fluent in English. The hotel location was close to everything; JR, Metro (below the hotel), Ginza shopping area, and food. If you need a mid-night snack you can practically run across the street […] and get a bowl of noodles or McD's. The hotel rooms were quite spacious and very comfortable. They supply you will all the toiletries you need so you won't have to bring any. There's even a shaver & after shave lotion for the guys. The best part is that they have free internet connection so I advise you to bring that netbook or laptop with you; whether you are on vacation or for business. At least you won't have to expense the internet usage. I would totally stay with them the next time I'm in Tokyo. Mehr

This is a very nice hotel, the rooms are large, the staff is very helpful. The location is near a smaller station off the JR Yamonote Circle line which is easy to navigate and take you to any Tokyo destination. Out of my 4 trips to Tokyo, this is my 2nd time to stay at Dai-Ichi and certainly won't be the last.

The hotel was situated in a very convenient location. There's everything nearby (convenience shops, restaurants, fast food joints, McDonalds, etc). The shops around the hotel close around 8-9pm. There are lots of restaurants that are opened late in the area. The rooms are standard American hotel size. The one on the ends are a tad smaller but not uncomfortable. […] The bathrooms are clean and roomy. The amenities in the room are great. They provide shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel so we didn't even have to use ours. The only thing that is lacking is the complimentary use of a pool or gym. However, after a full day of sighseeing, you'll probably won't be needing those facilities anyway. All the staff are very courteous and helpful. They all speak and understand English as well, which makes it much easier to find attractions and shops. While the hotel is above a train station (Shimbashi Station exit 7), it's not accessible by elevators. We stayed away from hauling our luggage from there to the airport since there were no escalators or elevators to get us down to the trains. Other than that, I would stay at this hotel again without a doubt. However, the Dai-ichi Annex is right down the block. I heard the rooms are a bit smaller but I'd consider it if I'm on a stricter budget. Mehr

This is a beautiful hotel, extraordinarily well located, with excellent furnishings and excellent service. We were extremely well treated, and delighted with the quality of our room. It had an extraordinary view of Tokyo and was spotlessly clean and spacious.

Good comfortable hotel in a great location. Staff were helpful.

Great hotel at a fantastic location. Staff very polite and helpful. Would recommend it without any hesitasion.

The room we bought on the internet and were very pleased with the size , cleanliness and facilities in the room. We found the staff helpful. We did not need the swimming pool or to eat in the hotel so this suited us, but I think the resturants may be a little expensive and the pool costs extra. We had reservations at a nice Italian resturant near the […] station and ate breakfast at a cafe after a morning walk. There are plenty nearby. I would stay here again Mehr

Not what I expected from the pictures and reading other reviews of this hotel. Hotel is getting to be a little run down. Staff was great and extremely helpful but rooms were extremely small (compared to pictures) and showing wear/tear. Prices within the hotel for food, etc were high.Recommend not counting on eating there as not worth the price. Great […] places to eat near by. Some sight seeing is close by which was nice as could walk. But with other hotels in the same area that looked nicer would recommend trying something else. Mehr

The Dai-Ichi Hotel in Tokyo is located only two JR Stations away from Tokyo Station (only 3 Minutes) and has direct connection (from the basement) to the Ginza subway, so the location for tourist is just superb .. the rooms (actually especially the bathroom) are a little "worn out", but everything you need for your stay IS there (very good matrace, […] an extra shower) Mehr

Extraordinary hotel,1st vist was in 2007 with my wife,2nd ,3rd and 4th with my wife and kids almost yearly. the location of the hotel is ideal and the staff are make you feel at home and very joyful.

Great hotel in the heart of Ginza, Tokyo. We got a great deal through hotels.com that saved us 40%.

A beautiful hotel property - looks recently updated. Centrally located. Friendly staff. Quite diverse restaurant offerings and the food I had there was excellent. Good bar with efficient service. Many of the tours leave from Dai-Ichi so it was extremely convenient to get a tour but it was also very near the Imperial Palace and Ginza - all within easy […] walking distance. Subway system just across the street. The concierge service was exceptional in accommodating all of my needs. A memorable experience. Mehr

I booked on hotels.com for a 7 night stay in May, 2010 for vacation. The rate was very fair I think. The twin room was spacious enough for comfort. The furnishings and cleanliness were excellent. Coffee and tea in room and a mini bar refrigerator. Medium sized flat screen TV. Noise was minimal and not a problem on the 8 th floor. The bathroom was large […] and excellent. The service in the hotel is friendly and exemplary. The concierge desk helped a lot e.g. getting Sumo tickets for us. I liked the location near a train station and centrally located. Sunrise Tours did hotel pickup and (mostly) dropoff for our tours, also very convenient. Gray Line does also. The hotel is fairly new and upscale in decor. The restaurants looked rather upscale also (Japanese, Chinese, European styles) but I did not use them. There are lots of restaurants in walking distance. Very convenient Lawson store across the street for essentials. I would certainly stay there again. I give it 4 stars. Mehr

bellboy helped us with our bags to our room, but before he opened the door, he carefully described the locations of emergency stairwells. I have never experienced this before.

The hotel was very clean and the staff/concierge were very helpful and courteous. The hotel is close to train stations. I could always find my way back from the train station since the hotel, and its name, towered over other buildings. It was within walking distance to Ginza shops and within a short range to the Oedo Onsen Monogatari hot springs and […] to other points of interest. Mehr

Public areas were very nice. Individual rooms were rough (saw more than one). Lots of carpet stains, dresser and desk marked up (dinged up). Restaraunts were expensive. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fixed a leaky faucet promptly.

Having stayed in the Dai Ich a decade ago, I had fond memories of how impressive this hotel is. I took my wife with me, and wanted her to have the best on her first trip to Japan. I was dissapointed in the condition. The public areas still look very nice, but the rooms are showing their age. The carpet had many stains on it (why use light colored carpets […] in a hotel?), dark smudge marks on the walls, and furniture was dinged up. Also, I felt everything was overpriced. We got a good rate on the room through Hotels.com, but they did not loose any money on us. The work out room (located next door) was 1600 Yen every day, drinks in the bar were over 1000 Yen a piece, and the breakfast was 3200 for a very limited selection. We tried going over to the Dai Ichi Annex one morning for the breakfast buffet to try and get something more filling, and it was not worth the 100-yard walk. The good news: Service was exceptional. The lobby is always impressive, and many restaraunts on-site to choose from. I usually stay at the ANA Intercontinental in Akasaka, which is much nicer, but in the same price range. However, this includes an amazing breakfast buffet and free exercise room in the price. Next time, I am going back to the ANA. As I brought my wife along, staying close to Ginza was helpful at the Dai Ichi, but she said "I can see all these stores in NYC - I want to see more of the Japanese culture". Mehr

I chose this hotel because it was close to the Imperial Palace and I wanted to be able to jog outside in the mornings. (The location was perfect - I was able to run about 6.5K every morning. ) The JR line is 5 minutes away, Ginza is about 12 minutes away (on foot), lots of restaurants in the area. The rooms were larger than I expected, nicely decorated […] and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again on another visit to Tokyo. Mehr

Great Room, great staff members.

The Dai-Ichi Hotel staff is exceedingly well trained and efficient. As a foreigner with little undertsanding of local customs and no fluency in Japanese, when I arrived I was very worried. Th estaff at every level, was kind and courteous. The made sure the Taxi's that were called undertood where I neede dto go, they reviewed my travel plans and made […] excellent suggestions. The room staff and restaurants in the hotel were excellent. In addition the location is wonderful, next to a subway station and many restaurants and stores. It was a very pleasant business stop. Mehr

I would give this hotel a 4.5 out of 5 stars. My room was big and the bathroom was even bigger than my one at home. The bed was two true doubles pushed together, making one huge bed. Room was clean and service was formal and polite. My only negatives are that this hotel is next to the train tracks and Shimbashi station, so you do get some rumbling from […] the trains from 5 AM till midnight. It didn't really bother me, but for a very light sleeper it might be an issue. The hotel restaurants seemed pretty pricing, but being Tokyo there are tons of other options nearby. Mehr

Very nice and clean hotel. Great stuff and excellent location!
