My boyfriend and I stayed at the Dai Ichi for 9 nights, 22-31 of March. The service was extremly helpful and always with a smile. We used concierge several times and all of their directions were spot on and easy to follow. The room was spatious and was always so clean and smelled nice when we returned. At one end... more

It took me a long time to find the right hotel for my stay in Tokyo. I was returning from a business trip so I wasn't going to be there that long. What's more is that I was footing the hotel bill on my own dime since I wasn't really doing business in Tokyo. When I saw the price, I... more

My parents (age 66 each) and I (age 35) just returned from 10 days in Asia which included 4 nights (Feb 7-10, 2008) at the Dai-Ichi Tokyo. We booked two "renovated room with queen bed" rooms. The rooms were very nice and we were happy to find that the beds were actually Kings. It is true that there are only... more

This hotel is below par. Heavy tobacco smell everywhere, including the "non-smoking" room. Half of the restaurants are in the basement. I'm afraid it's anecdotal but this is an example of how cheap they can be: They offer a "breakfast included" deal but then they charge an extra 700 Y when I order cereals + fruit plate + yoghurt! I... more

As a world traveler you see some of the worst and the best. Some of the staff certainly goes out of their way for you and shows that they will try to use the rules to your advantage, on the other hand there is the Dai-ichi. At 300$ a night you expect top notch service and at least some English,... more

My wife and I spent 7 nights at the Dai Ichi Tokyo and had no regrets. The staff were outstanding, waiting to help you on anything. The concierge was very helpful and gave us great tips to get to Kamakura for a day trip. The Airport Limousine Bus stops at the Hotel so getting to/from the airport was easy. It... more

Reserved via the hotel website and was quite surprised our room included breakfast! 3 places to enjoy the morning: 1 at the 2nd floor of the hotel where there is a breakfast set of eggs (even eggs benedict which is fabulous), bacon or ham or sausage (singular because you get only one), breads, veggies like spinach, potato, cherry tomato, broccoli.... more

Superb! Friendly, very helpful service. Massive bed in decent size room. Very clean. Lots of bathroom amenities, replaced every day. Lovely lobby. Had coffee and cake there one afternoon - nice if a little pricey. In excellent location for sightseeing (30 seconds from Shinbashi station on the central Yamanote line), plus other subways. Next to a lovely street of cosy... more

Wow! What service and attitude - the Best! My wife and I stayed here Oct 10-13 on our first leg of 4 stops in Asia. This hotel has spoiled us for all other hotels! The service was beyond exceptional. The staff makes you believe that they enjoy helping and serving you here. No tips expected and what a wonderful attitude.... more
