Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten

Traditional feel

More expensive than surrounding propertiesI didn’t like taking breakfast in a bag in our room. We had three rooms. I was looking forward to eating a traditional Japanese breakfast together. We skipped breakfast after the first morning.

Very spacious room with gorgeous bath tub. Area is quiet and easy to access metro. Plenty of restaurants close by. The library area was inviting and warm, with drinks and snacks.

The bed was extremely firm. We asked for extra down covers to use as a topper which helped a little.

Great quiet library where I took an early morning Zoom meeting.Quiet room.Laundry facilities at no charge. Sent out dress shirts for laundering.

Very uneven staff ability with English. Some members were excellent - fluent in English and Japanese. Some had very limited English and could not understand any spoken requests.Also, the restaurant that is reputed to be very good was closed for a private function every evening and never open for breakfast.

This hotel is ideally located near convenient metro access while still feeling pleasantly removed from the bustle and more tourist-heavy areas of Tokyo. I appreciate the experience of staying slightly off the beaten path—it encourages curiosity and discovery and this neighborhood is perfectly suited for that.The hotel itself is exceptional: classic in style, beautifully refined, and thoughtfully designed. Our corner room featured full paneled windows on two sides, filling the space with light while maintaining a sense of calm and privacy. The room was quiet and luxurious, complete with a generous soaking tub and a comfortable lounging area that made it easy to fully unwind.What truly sets this hotel apart is its subtle, intentional approach to hospitality. The facilities are designed to make guests feel genuinely cared for without ever feeling intrusive. A beautifully curated library offering complimentary beverages and snacks was a particularly lovely touch. Toward the end of our journey, I was also able to arrange an in-room shiatsu massage, which was an incredibly welcome and restorative experience.I am genuinely in awe of this space and the atmosphere it offers, and I very much look forward to returning on our next trip to Tokyo.

Small hotel in great location. Large room with quiet library room which I used for an early morning Zoom meeting. Generously let me leave luggage after check out.

Restaurant always closed for private functions. Some desk staff have zero English and did not understand Google Translate questions in Japanese.

Beautiful intimate hotel with large comfortable rooms in a quiet area of Tokyo but still close to lots of transportation options.

Beds are hard.

Location, very clean, feel luxurious

The mattress was a bit firm

Very spacious room and quiet! Walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants, especially Akihabara ( 10 mins walk )! The front desk is very friendly!

Very large room in a peaceful setting. Located close to centrally located train station. Clean and calm

Where to begin! What an incredible hotel. I don't think I'll ever stay at another hotel in Tokyo. Really helpful and friendly staff, and the property is beautiful. Traditional and modern at the same time.

The breakfast was ok, but there are tons of great restaurants and cafes close by

Wonderful, quiet, classy property. Personal ice machine in your room for whiskey highballs! Library with jazz playing to relax in. Huge beautiful tub for soaking. Loved it!

Well situated, well organised, very clean and relaxed

Nothing, it was great

We stayed at this hotel 5 years ago and wanted to come back since we were very happy with the room, the location, and the front desk staff. Unfortunately, this time the staff service was very deficient. It no longer provided 24 hour support, staff did not speak English, did not provide any real services. Also, brekafast this time was very disappointing.

See my comments above.

It is small boutique hotel and very spacious for a Tokyo hotel. Clean and has a nice bathtub. It also has a library with free snacks and a washing machine that is free to use.

It is located in an office district and is on the quieter side but it suited our need for a quiet resting place.

Fantastic, hotel in a really quiet part of Tokyo that was still relatively close to transport. Our room was fantastic and the service was great.

Perfect from start to finish. All staff were incredible and helped us with recommendations for food and even taxis too. The rooms are spacious, the breakfasts are wonderful, the bathing tubs are comfy enough for two.

So beautiful and luxurious. Huge room. Very comfortable.

The breakfast was not great. Microwave bento or a premade sandwich

The size of the room is amazing for Tokyo. From the tetami mats to the super bathroom, it makes you feel like you are visiting a traditional Ryokan. The front desk is super helpful. They were able to help arrange last minute restaurant reservations. A 10 all round. Location is super. Not crowded, loads of restaurant options and only 15 minutes walk to Akihabara, Imperial Palace

Nothing. It was perfect.

The bathroom and toiletries were excellent. Room was big and comfortable. Washing machine easily available. Location suited us, quiet but easy to get around Tokyo, 15 min walk to the Imperial palace and to Akihabara. Convenient subway stations nearby and good restaurants and little bars.

As it’s such a small hotel the aren’t the same amenities you might get e.g. gym, room service.

Beautiful Japanese style hotel with surprisingly ample room and a bathroom anyone would want in their home.
