Tokyo Akasaka Palace Hotels

"Hotel Gracery is a great choice for the right traveler. Inside, the hotel is clean and modern. When compared to other hotels in Tokyo you'll find the accomodations at Hotel Gracery are an upgrade compared to other options. The staff at the reception area all speak english and they're ready to help with whatever you need. It's also a quick walk to the train station. I would not recommend this hotel for travelers with young kids however. This hotel is in the middle of the Shinjuku red light district. If you're walking around the hotel after hours you'll probably get approached by a man who's job is to get people into the clubs. I don't think these guys would approach a family with a young kid, but it's probably not the environment you're looking for on a family vacation. You always hear about Tokyo being very clean, and it is, but if you walk out of the Hotel Gracery at 6am and you'll think a bomb went off in the streets overnight with trash everywhere. The workers do a good job to clean up the mess from the previous night quickly, but you'll probably be shocked at just how many beer cans and trash litter the streets and sidewalks before the cleaners get started. There's no concern about safety in the hotel however. They close all gates except for the main entrance gate to keep the party out of the hotel. If you want to be right in the middle of the busiest part of Shinjuku this hotel is a good option."

"The hotel is in a great location, staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are small, though, but expected in Jspan. "

"Clean room"

"Convenient location for Shinjuku Station & Airport Express buses (which stop at hotel). Excellent breakfast (but scrambled eggs are like soup). Room (upper-level lady twin - for 2) was tiny and I kept tripping over the threshold and then down again into the tiny prefab bathroom. Deep tub to step into for shower. So much to trip over! One small hard pillow per bed. Dated interior and amenities, though clean, with small window that can’t open. Safe (except for tripping hazards) and convenient but would choose a better hotel (newer, larger room) next time and just get a taxi to the station or AirPort Express stop. Served us well this time but room was claustrophobic and basic, considering the price."

"It was a great stay. The area was amazing with great food and the train station was just around the corner."
