We booked a decent rate through Agoda, but it was non-refundable, which was my biggest complaint. The hotel itself was really nice; modern decor, very clean, nice rooms, decently sized, etc. The location is practically right on top of the Hanzomon subway stop. It's good that it's convenient to go elsewhere, because there's not too much in the immediate area.... more

My sister and I stayed at this hotel…..and we loved it! It’s like a 5 star hotel! It’s a trendy boutique hotel. The rooms are super cute…well decorated and always super clean. The beds are comfy, the bathrobes are styling, and the bathrooms are fabulous! The rooms were perfect in size (not too small….we had 2 twin beds). The hotel... more

This was our very first hotel that we booked in Japan and we weren't disappointed! The hotel was small but that was really of no surprise to us as that seems to be the trend in Japan. Everything was tastefully decorated and overall kept quite clean. The location just couldn't be beat. We were able to walk to the Imperial... more

Stayed at the Monterey Hanzomon for two nights in January 2008. Fantastic location, right in the center of town, with the Hanzomon Subway station right across the street (it’s a small station, and you hardly even notice the entrance). The rates here are great. I booked two superior singles for my mother and I, and paid approximately $90 USD per... more

A lot of the time we check into large international style hotels and pay for a room rate which caters for facilities that we do not use, or did not know existed e.g. a pool/fitness centre, business centre, 24 hour room service, etc. But for those of us who don’t use these things, simply put it is just a rip-off.... more

After reading positive reviews at multiple sites, I tried the Hotel Monterey Hanzomon my last trip and loved my stay! Quiet area, close to the Imperial Palace (with gorgeous 5k paved path around the grounds). Staying again soon (business + running the Tokyo Marathon), since this is my favorite small hotel. For one person, the single rooms and bathrooms are... more

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days in Dec and we loved it. The hotel is new with a very modern deco. The hotel stuffs speak good english and there are complimentary bath salts at the check in counters. Althought the room is quite small (3 single beds) but we are happy with it as it's the same for... more

I went here on my first night in Tokyo. Surprise! It's right by the Imperial Palace (I asked the taxi driver what the "big park" was). Be sure to specify to a taxi driver that this is the HANZOMON of Hotel Monterey because there are other "Hotel Monterey" places. It is 3 blocks from Hanzomon station on the Hanzomon subway... more

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in mid May. The price was an amazing deal for Tokyo hotels. I paid only $87/night. I shared the room with a friend and while the room was small, it was expected from Tokyo hotels. The staff was very friendly. Their English skills were pretty good and considering I only knew 3... more
