BEST WESTERN HOTEL FINO TOKYO AKASAKA, Tokyo

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Akasaka Station and a 3-minute walk from Akasaka-mitsuke Station, which serves the Marunouchi, Ginza, and Chiyoda lines. Haneda Airport is 24 km away - about 40 minutes by train via the Ginza Line and Toei Asakusa Line. Narita Airport is about 1 hour 15 minutes by Sky Access train and metro. The immediate area is packed with restaurants, bars, convenience stores (Family Mart, 7-Eleven), and a short walk to Akasaka Biz Tower for dining and shopping. Buff restaurants within 300 metres include Yasaiya Teppanyaki, Akasaka Sobie Bekkan, and Kamaage Udon. The neighbourhood is business-oriented and lively at night, but street noise is minimal on higher floors.

Room types and sizes: Standard Double 13 m² (140 cm bed), Superior Double 15 m² (160 cm bed), Superior Twin 17 m² (two 110 cm beds), and Deluxe Twin Accessible 25 m². Superior rooms have a slightly larger bed and more floor space. All rooms include a desk, hairdryer, bidet, and blackout curtains. Storage is limited - typically a few hangers on a wall rail - so travellers with large suitcases should book at least a Superior Twin. Road-facing rooms may experience vibration from passing traffic and metro lines; rooms on higher floors are quieter. Some bathrooms include a bathtub. Customers report comfortable beds and good water pressure in the shower. Housekeeping is daily, but some rooms have been noted to have dust under furniture.

The breakfast is American-style buffet with hot items (eggs, sausages), bread, pastries, cereal, and fruit. Some customers find the selection adequate but not extensive; options rotate daily. The hotel does not have an on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the surrounding area offers dozens of restaurants within a 5-minute walk, covering Japanese, Western, and international cuisines. A vending machine in the lobby provides drinks. Convenience stores (Family Mart, 7-Eleven) are steps away for snacks and drinks. Guests can also use the free water purifier and microwave available near the lobby.

The property does not offer a fitness centre, swimming pool, or spa. However, a self-service laundromat is available on the 3rd floor with washing machines and dryers (coin-operated). For relaxation, the area offers a public bath (sentō) within walking distance, and the hotel itself provides blackout curtains and comfortable bedding for a restful stay. The location is ideal for walking to nearby attractions such as the Hundertwasser Millennium Clock (700 m) and the Akasaka Palace gardens.

Services include express check-in/out, laundry and dry cleaning (surcharge), ironing, and fax/photocopying. Safety features: key card access, CCTV in common areas and outside, 24-hour security, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. A lift serves all 13 floors - the only elevator in the building, so expect queues. Free amenities are available at the lobby: coffee, tea, toothbrushes, combs, and shaving kits. Luggage storage is complimentary on the day of check-in/out and can also be arranged for longer periods (e.g., a few days) - inquire at the front desk. Accepted payment methods: American Express, Visa, JCB, UC. There is no parking, and pets are not permitted.
