Experience of the stay
I stayed two nights at "Oakwood Hotel & Apartments Azabu" with HafH!
The location is just a 3-minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station on the subway, making access excellent.
About 90% of the guests are foreigners, so it felt like I was experiencing overseas travel at this hotel.
【Lobby Lounge】
The lobby lounge on the first floor has a view of Tokyo Tower.
It also has a Nespresso machine and many seating options, which made it easy to work on the PC.
A free breakfast is provided here on weekdays.
【Breakfast】
The weekday free breakfast has a simple menu, but it was relaxing and felt like a regular day.
There are five types of bread that you can toast with the Balmuda toaster.
Cornflakes, granola, and chocolate crispies were also available.
One popular item among foreign guests was the “onigiri” corner.
While the label on these onigiri said “frozen food,” I was surprised at how unexpectedly delicious they were—definitely not what I’d expect from frozen food.
You can also enjoy four types of miso soup with seaweed, clams, and shijimi.
The presence of grilled onigiri was a nice surprise as well... I made a butter soy sauce grilled onigiri using butter for bread, and it was devilishly delicious.
【Room】
The room is small but has a balcony offering a sense of openness and a clear view of Tokyo Tower!
There’s a separate desk, making it easy to work, and it's great for a workcation.
The bathroom and toilet are separate, and there’s a Panasonic drum-type washing and drying machine as well.
The kitchen is equipped with an IH stove, oven, Nespresso, cooking utensils, and tableware.
With various detergents and a new dish sponge available, I was able to stay comfortably as if living hands-free.
【Gym】
There is a gym on the first floor that guests can use 24 hours a day.
It’s a simple setup with three treadmills, one stationary bike, one bench, and various dumbbells, but there are also yoga mats and a balance ball, making it easy to have a workout tailored to your preferences.
Experiences during the trip
Oakwood Hotel & Apartments Azabu is located near several hotels with similar names, so be careful.
Oakwood Residence and Oakwood Apartments Minamiazabu are also within walking distance, and I mistakenly went to these hotels...
For dinner, it's nice to eat at restaurants in the surrounding areas such as Azabu-Juban and Roppongi, but shopping at the popular supermarket "Nisshin World Delicatessen" just a minute away is highly recommended!
The hotel is equipped with cooking utensils, making it fun to cook.
Nisshin World Delicatessen is managed by Nisshin Ham, which produces and sells ham and sausages, so the meats are reasonably priced and come in various kinds.
We made a simple salad with baby leaf and ham and challenged ourselves with T-bone steak!
Since there's an oven in the room, we can enjoy various dishes.
For dessert, I recommend the coconut ice cream specialty store COCONUT GLEN'S in the Azabu-Juban shopping street! It's so delicious, so please check it out.
