HOTEL HILLARYS Akasaka

Room was very clean and comfortable enough. There's space lacking for suitcases to be laid out but it slid comfortably underneath the beds when not needed. Room facilities were great, fresh towels and necessities were restocked/changed when requested. Loved the mist and jet function on the shower head in the bathroom. Never got to experience the baths but would definitely stay again and make more of an effort to experience the baths in the hotel. The terrace roof was really nice, great place to sit and chill with a drink for nice city views. Location was very ideal also, hotel is located on a lively part of Akasaka with many places within walking distance to explore. Great access to train stations too if you're wanting to head in the direction of Shibuya or Asakusa (approx 30-40mins on train).

Everything about this hotel is amazing. There is nothing the staff won't help with and the hotel is immaculate. The hotel housekeeping ladies are an absolute joy and are such a delight to be greeted by every morning. There is a rooftop lounge that opens up at 3pm until 12am, ¥2500 for nibbles and snacks and all you can drink, with amazing nighttime views of the city. Definitely worth the few times that we went. Breakfast was the highlight for me, I've never eaten so healthy and have now seen on board a few things that I ate whilst there. Pickled ginger, pickled plums and apricots and radishes with my eggs in the morning, washed down by two glasses of detox water. I felt so ready for the day!!! The location is the best, we were right smack in the middle of Akasaka, with so many subway lines to choose from to have amazing adventures and days out. As Akasaka is the historical part of Tokyo, we saw amazing shrines and history for the prefecture. Great places to eat and don't be put off if your Japanese is non existent, there's nothing that Google translate can't fix and find for you. I would recommend Sakura Sachs in Akasaka, great food and amazing service. Get there before 6pm, as it gets busy and reservations take precedence over walk in's. Definitely coming back to Japan, as there is so much to do and many places to stay. Everything was great and I felt so relaxed and looked after.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was fantastic, plenty of places to eat and bars nearby as well as the train station. I stayed for 10 nights, and the room was tidied every day. Free espresso downstairs.

We loved how close to everything Hotel HILLARYS was. Lots of yummy food places along the street and a 7eleven close by. The Hie shrine is also very close and a beautiful shrine to visit. Staff were always super helpful and friendly. Room was very clean. Storage was minimal but ok to store your bags under the desk and a few hangers behind the door on the wall. Bathroom is small but we were ok with that, very normal in Tokyo, the shower pressure was amazing!! Big bonus was the beautiful coffee shop ‘Streamer’ across the street that we ended up going to nearly every day for a week. 2 very happy Australian travellers !!

Property is well located in the Akasaka business district but with plenty of cafes / restaurants/ and conveniences at your doorstep. Public transport options are abundant. The Onsen was great as was the expansive breakfast buffet. There is a washer dryer available to guests ($5 AUD a load) which was great if you want to pack light.
