If you want to go out to clubs, stay out where there are a lot of people walking out at night, go see a lot of people who want to party.. unfortunately mercure isn't the right hotel. The location of the hotel was nice but we had to take the subway for at least 25 mins to get to where we wanted to go. Ginza is a very low key and elegant district. we really enjoyed the friendliness of the staffs and their helpfulness to give us easy directions. I enjoyed my stay at the Mercure very much. Even though i have mentioned the bad location, i would stay again at mercure.
the staffs were extremely friendly. One of the best features of the hotel was that the hotel was located right above the subway. This made everything even more convenient. The cost of dialing out of the country was very affordable and we couldn't have asked for more.
The cost of internet is 5 usd for every 24 hours. The rooms were extremely small, I mean, I saw pictures before booking, but we're talking about a room where you wouldn't think of doing anything other than sleeping. Ginza district was like Beverly hills of California. We were surrounded by very familiar stores such as the apple store, bulgari, and louis vuitton. The district was a bit different than what i had expected..
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If you are struggling with jetlag on your first few days in ginza, you should go to the fish market. It was a nice 15 min walk and we saw every different kinds of fish you can imagine. It was definitely a sight to see.

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Tokyo. It's right in the heart of Tokyo's upscale shopping district and has a subway stop right under the hotel (a JR line is only a five minute walk away!). The rooms were spacious (for Tokyo) and clean and the staff was helpful and fluent in english.
- Beautiful layout
- Women's floor
- Everyone spoke amazing english
- None!

Catching the train from the airport to the hotel only requires one change over and you are at the hotel within an hour from the airport. This is much cheaper than catching the airport limousine shuttle bus and is not daunting for non-Japanese at all. The hotel is western in style, the rooms are a good size for a Japanese hotel (or European hotel for that matter). Very clean and very helpful English speaking staff. When there are so many good and reasonabily priced restaurants nearby, we did not use the hotel restaurant.
English speaking staff, air-conditioned rooms, hotel close to trains and shops.
Nothing comes to mind. It was a short stay.
- Restaurant Tip : Walk around the area and there are many good restaurants. We found a few with English menus as well, but still with tradtional Japanese cuisine.
