Experience of the stay
I used this hotel for a solo trip. The staff was very accommodating and cheerfully took care of my luggage. Some amenities were self-provided. The lobby offered a welcome drink, and the lounge available to all guests featured free drinks, which was a nice touch. There was also a free snack service, and I received two macarons (daily special, limited quantity). The compact room had a retro atmosphere but included a chair, desk, and refrigerator, so I had no inconvenience staying alone. While the room did not have a bathtub, the shower had side access, which helped me relax thoroughly after a long day.
There was a laundry room and vending machines available. Although I didn't use it, there was also a breakfast venue. Akasaka Station is just a few minutes on foot, but since it's an abrupt uphill, I recommend using a taxi if you have a lot of luggage.
Experiences during the trip
In the morning, I visited Hie Shrine nearby for a prayer. The escalator made it easy to ascend to the top. It was a magnificent building with a majestic atmosphere. For lunch, I dined in Ebisu. Despite the long line of more than ten groups, I was able to enjoy the dish I aimed for. In the evening, I had grilled meat. The meat wrapped with wasabi was exquisite and melted in my mouth. The kimchi fried rice had a unique flavor and was delicious. Akasaka tends to be bustling with crowds on weekdays, but it was comfortable with fewer people on weekends.
The hotel is located very close to TBS Akasaka ACT Theater, so I thought I'd love to stay there whenever I plan to watch a musical. Akasaka Station also features a Harry Potter café and shop, which I would recommend to Harry Potter fans. The night view with lighting is even more beautiful.
