Location: Very convenient to getting around, even though it is in the newly developed area on Tokyo Bay-- Adjacent to Yurikamome Monorail, Daiba Station -- Y310 to get to Shimbashi Station and connect to major lines (e.g., get the Yokohama, Kamakura, etc.) or an easy walk to Ginza. There is also the Suidobasu (river boat) at Hinode Pier, several stops from Daiba, where you can take the "waterbus" to Asakusa Pier and walk to Kaminarimon/Asakusa Temple. Lots of places to eat within in 2-5 minutes walk from the hotel (Aqua City, with shops and places to eat), McDonalds, Starbucks, sushi, noodles, etc.

Comfort: Very comfortable -- rooms have views of the water, Tokyo skyline, well appointed, super clean, deep and long bath tub, robes and pajamas which are provided daily, toiletries amply replenished. Stock your own water, snacks as the mini bar items are pricey. At Shimbashi Station there is a great grocer where you can purchase just about everything (produce, drinks, bento, bakery items and prepared bentos) to bring back to your room should you wish.

Although you can get to Asakusa by train, the water bus on a clear day is a great way to take in the city. Although we took a cab from Haneda (about 20 minutes to the hotel Y4500 or so), there is an airport bus from there as well as the Narita Airport bus y2700 which leaves directly from the hotel (and the hotel staff are terrific about keeping your bags and getting it on the airport bus).

Overall, a beautiful setting (so many weddings on the weekend) for a moderate price (do spring for the differential for the water view room as it is worth it), a lovely central staircase in the lobby, a fish tank, service was very courteous, use of the business center, i.e., the computers and internet access was without charge . . . and they kept me posted on the game 4 Red Sox win!!!

A centally located 5 star hotel located on the Metro Line Outside busy Tokyo City only 20min from Ginza across the Rainbow Bridge. Excellent panormaric views of the picture postcard Tokyo Bay. View scenery from your private balcony. Service is excellent and staff friendly and hospitable. All spoke English. Food is varied with international cuisine from French to Japanese cuisine and will cook anything you wish for which may not be on the menu. Rooms are large and has excellent facilities. For a single person travelling, you are not housed in a shoe box with a single bed as is the norm in most Japanese Hotels. Popular for weekend weddings. Shops and restraunts close by. Good venue with conference facilities. The IATA International Conference was held there last week.

I stayed at the Nikko for a business function for over a week. Although the location is a bit further away from Tokyo proper, necessitating an additional tram ride, the hotel itself is wonderful. The rooms were very spacious, extremely clean and well maintained. When I got back to the hotel one night after work, the staff took it upon themselves to move me to another room (upgrade) due to the cleaning staff's observance of a crack on the outside of the bathtub. The room service and meals were excellent. I would love to stay here again.
