CENTURION HOTEL RESIDENTIAL AKASAKA STATION, Tokyo

This property sits on a lively street filled with restaurants, bars, convenience stores, and entertainment venues, making it a prime base for exploring Tokyo's nightlife and dining scene. The surrounding area includes the Harry Potter Cafe and several metro lines within a 5-minute walk. Tokyo Station is a 15-minute drive away, while Haneda Airport and Tokyo Disney Resort are a 40-minute train ride. The street itself is busy at night, but rooms on higher floors remain relatively quiet. For light sleepers, a room with a balcony on a higher floor or a room away from the street is recommended.

The hotel is split into a main building (up to 6 floors) and an annex building (up to 10 floors). Main building rooms include a kitchenette with a gas stove and an in-room washing machine. Annex rooms lack kitchenettes and washing machines but offer a bathtub and balcony rooms. Room sizes vary significantly: many are spacious by Tokyo standards, especially the family rooms and rooms with balconies, while some standard rooms can feel small with limited natural light. Some rooms have windows facing a wall or are carpeted and can feel dated. The superior king rooms with balconies are popular for their size and light. Bedding options include semi-double, double, two double beds, and bunk beds, with sofa beds available for additional guests.

The hotel does not have its own dining facilities, so guests need to plan meals outside the property. A breakfast coupon is offered for a restaurant a 2-minute walk away. The location is surrounded by dozens of dining options, including sushi, izakaya, ramen, and international cuisine, all within a 5-minute walk. Guests can also use the in-room kitchenette (main building) to prepare simple meals, though kitchen utensils require a daily rental fee. The area has convenience stores (7-Eleven, Family Mart) and supermarkets nearby for groceries.

For relaxation, the hotel offers a massage service at an extra cost. There are no other wellness amenities such as a spa, sauna, or fitness center. The surrounding Akasaka district provides ample entertainment options, including bars, karaoke, and the nearby Tokyo Sauna, but these are independent of the property.

The hotel provides a range of practical services: free daily housekeeping, luggage storage on the day of check-in and check-out, and luggage forwarding from the hotel to any address in Japan. A coin laundry is available in the annex building (200 yen per load), and main building rooms have their own washing machine. Free amenities include toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser), and extras such as shaving kits, toothbrushes, and hair ties are available at reception. Iron and ironing board are free to borrow. The reception is staffed 24 hours, and late check-in past midnight is accepted with prior notice. No airport shuttle service is offered.
