ALFIT HOTEL & BAR AKASAKA, Tokyo

The hotel is located in the lively Akasaka district, surrounded by a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and convenience stores within a few minutes' walk. Akasaka Biz Tower Shops & Dining is just steps away, and the Hundertwasser Millennium Clock and Okamura Chair Museum are within 500 metres. The area is well-served by public transport, with the Ginza Line also accessible about 350 metres away. While the neighbourhood is vibrant, it remains quieter than Shibuya or Shinjuku at night. There is no on-site parking, so using the excellent metro links is the most practical way to explore Tokyo.

Room sizes vary, with some being compact (typical for Tokyo) and others more spacious, particularly the twin rooms with four beds. Many rooms have windows that open partially, but they face adjacent buildings, resulting in minimal natural light and no outside view - some rooms have frosted windows. The room layout can be unusual, with multiple doors and an entrance alcove that reduces usable space. The beds are firm, which some travellers may find comfortable. Daily housekeeping is provided, and rooms are cleaned thoroughly. Soundproofing is mixed; some rooms are quiet while others may experience noise from the street or internal plumbing. Light sleepers may prefer a room away from the road and on a single level, as some rooms require climbing a few stairs from the elevator.

The continental breakfast includes items such as croissants, bread, fruit, juice, and hot drinks. Some mornings a limited hot option like pre-made pancakes or sausages may be available. The hotel also provides complimentary coffee and a pastry in the lobby each morning from early until 11:00, which is a nice perk. The on-site bar is open 24 hours with happy hour deals, serving wine, champagne, and cocktails. Given the dense concentration of restaurants, izakayas, and convenience stores within a short walk, there are plenty of dining options for lunch and dinner.

Free WiFi is available throughout. Luggage can be stored before check-in and after check-out at no charge on the day of check-out; storage beyond that costs ¥1000 per piece per day. The hotel provides luggage forwarding (takkyubin) to other locations and can receive deliveries. There is no on-site laundry, but a 24-hour coin laundry is a 3-minute walk away. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, key card access, and in-room safes. The property is adults-only and does not accept pets. Payment can be made with major credit cards and Apple Pay.
