Somerset Azabu East Hotel, Tokyo

We are a family of 4, travelling with 2 small children. I was looking for spacious accommodation in Tokyo and came across Somerset Azabu East. It seemed nice from the pictures but I couldn´t find many travellers reviews for it. I am surprised because I think the hotel is brilliant. I think that there are no many reviews because, by the look of it, this hotel is quite new. Our apartment was spacious and had all modern commodities, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave... all in perfect condition. Because we travelled with children we appreciated the extra space in the living room-bedroom (and the cartoon channel!). The hotel is very conveniently located to visit the major tourist attractions in Tokyo, right by Tokyo Tower. Although it is near the Roppongi, it is located in a quiet area near Shiba Park. It is a quiet hotel, so most probably you will have the small fitness room, the swimming pool and the barbecue terrace all for yourself. The terrace has great views over Tokyo and you can use it anytime of day or night. The personnel at the reception desk spoke very good English and were extraordinarily nice and helpful. Although it said in the website that the cleaning service is available only twice a week, the fact is that everyday the cleaning personnel would tidy up our room and make our beds. The hotel doesn´t have a restaurant or bar, but there are restaurants and coffee shops very nearby and a supermarket just next door. The nearest tube is 3 min walk, in the Oedo line, and there are 2 more tube stations not far away. Overall, excellent accommodation, we will no doubt return if we go back to Tokyo.

VERY helpful staff!!!

Stay here if you want to avoid the bustle of a city hotel
