What guests think

Hotel New Otani Tokyo Garden Tower is a large, well-run property known for exceptionally friendly staff, a beautiful Japanese garden, and convenient access to multiple subway lines, offering a quieter base within easy reach of Tokyo’s sights.

Rooms are generally clean and often spacious for Japan, many with impressive city or garden views, though decor can feel dated, beds divide opinion, and air conditioning or temperature control is occasionally inconsistent. There are many on-site restaurants and scenic breakfast venues, but several guests find prices high and some buffets crowded or underwhelming. Facilities are extensive, yet the pool and some amenities may carry extra fees or limited hours, and the complex’s size can make navigation confusing. Overall, expect a polished, tranquil stay with standout service and gardens in a convenient location.

Beautiful hotel with a lot of amenities. The breakfast included was wonderful and if you pay a little extra you can go to an upgraded buffet. We also ate dinner at the Sky and it was lovely. My only suggestion would be for the food to be kept warmer. Last, this hotel has amazing amenities, free parking and the most beautiful koi garden. I was only disappointed that it didn’t have a self serve laundromat.

Great pool with long opening hours. Lovely accommodating staff. I was shocked when I saw a laundry bill for £170 (32,000 Yen) for what would be 1-2 loads in a washing machine. Prices before hand would have greatly influenced my decision but I was not informed until after the laundry was finished, how much I owed.

The Hotel New Otani Tokyo Garden Tower was an absolute dream. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous, and our room was spacious. It also had a great view of the gardens and waterfall below. It is conveniently located near the subway and close to lots of restaurants. My kids and I enjoyed the pool and the lovely service. I didn't want to leave!

Overall nice property…really big! We were in the garden tower. Room (standard king garden view corner room) was nice and clean. Bathroom really small. Not great is the gym - very small and bare bones (no weights). The property had a nicer gym but we had to pay more for it so we didn’t used it. Double check pool hours and times during your stay - it was limited during ours (traveled mid-late June). Hotel is or very much like a convention hotel (think Vegas but without the casino). Overall fine but we liked something a bit less chaotic.

Breakfast was excellent. The pool was a bit of a walk from the hotel and there is no direct access from the hotel but it was nice as there are few hotels in Tokyo with pools. The service was amazing. We enjoyed the sky bar in the evenings for food and drinks and the sky bar buffet was very good. There is an elevator from the garden tower to street level where you are just a 3 minute walk to the subway.

The next day they gave me another shower cap automatically. Also, the taxis are readily available there even early in the morning. I really liked my stay but wish I had more time to try out more facilities.

Very comfortable, clean rooms. Nice bathroom. Good view. Professional staff. A variety of food nearby. Japanese garden is a huge plus. My only complaint is that the rooms were very stuffy. This was in late March, on a 72 degree day and there was no air conditioning. Upon contacting the front desk we were instructed to call room service. They told us to turn off the heater, which wasn't circulating air at all. Our room was about 78 degrees which felt intolerable since there was no air circulation at all. If you are driving, parking can be a bit confusing. Overall, still a good experience but I don't know if I would stay again.

The view from the room and the garden are amazing. Sadly, that was all that was amazing. The free breakfast was ok. You get 3 places to choose from, a traditional Japanese breakfast restaurant, a small breakfast buffet, and a medium sized breakfast buffet. The huge breakfast buffet shown in the photos costs an extra $20 per person! We did not try it and stuck with the free medium option. There was an acceptable selection of food options and the food was generally ok. Not great as expected from a hotel of this level, just mediocre. There is not an omelette station. This was disappointing. The individual food items were not at the quality expected for what this hotel represents. Combined with the room experience and this hotel leaves you with a 2 star hotel wrapped in 4 star wrapping paper. The grounds around the hotel are amazing. The rooms were extremely lacking in proper repair and maintenance. Repairs were poorly performed. There was rough patch work in places, lack of caulking in the tub. The provided body wash and shampoo was of the type you would get at a cheap motel in the states. Our room was spacious with a great view, but otherwise felt almost like a bait and switch. The shops and restaurants all match with what you would expect from this caliber of hotel, with prices to match. It is truly disappointing how they are neglecting the rooms.

Positives: It is near a lot of restaurants and a major subway station that is within walking distance. The staff are also very helpful and friendly. The room we had was also pretty large and quiet, which was mainly what we were looking for. Negatives: The Garden Tower is starting to show its age. I stayed in a large deluxe room and the layout was unusual along with having a small outdated bathroom. We also noticed that there was mold on the ceiling in the living room. Big mold spots on an area probably 5 or 6 feet across. I took a picture and went down to the front desk and they quickly moved us to another room which had been remodeled recently and looked more updated. They also gave us a free desert for our trouble. Also the television was not a smart TV, and only had access to local cable channels. I feel like having access to streaming services should be a basic amenity in 2024. The breakfast at this hotel is also very bad, I'd say the worst I had in my 2 months in Japan. I strongly suggest you skip it. It was crowded and the food was lukewarm and honestly not very good. We paid nearly 5,000 yen per person felt very ripped off. Because of this experience on our first morning here, we didn't even try any of the other restaurants they had at the hotel. Final word: This hotel is ok, but it could be an incredible hotel if they updated the rooms and had a respectable breakfast on site.

The room was nice and clean. Normal size for Tokyo, which will seem a little on the small side. What makes New Otani shine are three things: A magnificent view, the gardens, and the service. The view from our room was amazing. Twice, we woke up to a view of Mount Fuji. The view of the city was breathtaking. The gardens have a rich history and are a wonderful relaxing walk when you have a few minutes. It's hard to believe you're in the middle of the biggest and busiest cities in the world. It's unique to have this as part of a hotel. The service is impeccable. You get used to good service in Japan but New Otani is over and above. Meticulous care for your room and the staff are always helpful and polite. We loved the people at New Otani. The New Otani Hotel is the best hotel in Tokyo!

This is a great hotel, with all the amenities and accommodations you would expect at this level. Service, restaurants, shopping, location (close to a subway station) are all first rate. The only minor complaints are related to the room itself, it had limited storage space - OK for a weekender but not so much for a multi-week traveler - and having only one night stand. That said, it was super quiet and it had an amazing view on two large windows. All the staff was incredibly helpful and polite. Definitely recommended.

Exceptional service throughout the hotel.
