I was not sure exactly to find in this hotel but was surprised how nice it was. The facility was very clean and the staff was extremely helpful and very polite. Any issues with trying to find local interest sites the staff was extremely helpful and they always had an English speaking person available to assist. This facility was centrally located to shopping, transportation hubs, and plenty of restaurants close by. The rooms were a l;ittle smaller than I am use to but they were very comfortable. I have included this facility on my regular stay list as I travel abroad a lot.

The Hotel is situated three short blocks east of Ginza Street, a Rodeo Drive of Tokyo, and offers ample window shopping opportunities starting from Cartier, Tiffany, Mikimoto, to the latest fashion trends of the world (because face it, if you were the type of person who actually shops there, you wouldn't be looking at this website at all). Area is very safe and pleasant to be around. The service is very fast and friendly! Most of hotel's staff does possess sufficient level of English to give directions, call the taxi, explain the train schedule, and answer basic room service requests. The hotel offers a cheesy, but easy to read map of the area in English and Japanese. Though rather small, the rooms are very neat and impeccably clean (though be sure to specifically ask for non-smoking room, as it's not something that the check-in clerk asks you upon arrival). Modern decor and lighting makes the room very cozy and comfortable. All the bathroom accessories are provided with the exception of body lotion. The full-size bed has a rather firm, but very comfortable mattress. Ginza subway station is only about 5 minutes away by foot. Tokyo Fish Market is about a 15 minute walk (or a 5 minute cab ride), where you can find the freshest sushi in the world (highly recommend, if you're into sushi). From Narita, take the Limousine bus to one of the Ginza hotels or Narita Express to Tokyo Train Station, and from there it's a $10-15 cab ride! If you prefer the amenities of the hotel more than the experience of being in Tokyo, I recommend the Westin or the Crowne Plaza!

considering hotel prices in tokyo, I guess monterey ginza is a good deal not only for the price but also its location is perfect, close to everything, staff are really friendly and always ready to assist you, you check in and out in a timely manner, they are very well organized,4 blocks to kabukiza, a ittle bit farther to fish market, rooms are small , literally small considering standard size hotel room, but in tokyo it seems everything is compact, rooms are very clean and you have verything you need from toothpaste to hairbrush, I did a lot of searching before booking ginza and after i made my travel i realized it was a good decision stayed at ginza hotel, it is only 5 minutes from there to tokyo station by taxi,. In general it was a great expirience and I recommend this hotel to be considered for everybody who really wants to enjoy staying in Tokyo.

Hotel Monterey is close to everything... Once you arrive at the Ginza Train Station, use exit c6, walk towards Printemps Dept Store, tun right and go straight for several blocks and you will see this hotel on your right. This hotel is close to the main Ginza Strip and lots of cool stores. If you get bored walking around the Ginza area, take a train to Asakusa (US$* min. ride) and enjoy a traditional Japanese community with a beautiful temple, tipical restaurants and souvenir stores... The summer was so hot that we sweat like a wild horse... It was awesome to go back to the Hotel, take a shower, a nap and go out at night for a wonderful meal. We will definitely choose online travel website to book our hotel again and when in Tokyo will stay at Hotel Monterey again!!! Japan has a rich and enjoyable culture that is worth being experienced!

Good location. Several restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores nearby. Three subway stations within easy walking distance, one within fifty yards. .A free English language newspaper was outside your door every morning. BBC was the only English language TV station, but that was enough. Good breakfast buffet, though expensive. I ate at the coffee shop a half block away. Very quiet room.
