Henn na Hotel Tokyo Akasaka

Unfortunately stayed here bc it was the only reasonable priced hotel during GW. So technically we still kind of overpaid for the room. Our room’s shower smelled like mildew the entire trip. They would clean it and it would smell okay and it would come back with a vengeance. I have a feeling they did not clean the drain or something. It was such a strong smell that it usually took over the living space as well if you didn’t close the bathroom door, which made the ventilation in there even worse. The windows don’t have screens so if you leave it open for fresh air, bugs may get in. They have a sign that says so to warn you but it feels like a design flaw overall if the room is so small with bad ventilation. The AC unit directly flows onto one of the twin beds if you’re staying in the rooms with two beds, so one person is just freezing the whole night- the blanket is thick enough to keep you warm from it as long as you don’t stick any part of your body out. It also feels like a missed opportunity that there’s no storage space for luggage underneath the beds. There was some room underneath the chairs but it’s not big enough for luggage. I’ve stayed in way better budget hotels. The LG styler was very handy and we enjoyed using it. It helped get odors from the day out. Obviously minimal staff there and they were all great. It was nice checking in without speaking to anyone. Other than the unpleasant smell it was a really standard stay. Hope you don’t get the room I did.

The 2 guys working breakfast are topnotch. Very friendly, helpful, and caring. The food is pretty good but they make the experience.

This hotel is perfect. You would think that being a budget hotel, it would come with drawbacks but it is absolutely perfect. We got the "Hollywood Twin" and it made us feel like we had a king bed. The bathroom was quite large by Tokyo standards, and my 6'3" husband never felt squished. The area is quiet enough to sleep easily but still has many dining options close by. Going back, I would skip buying the breakfast as there is a 711 right next door with lots of food options. However, the breakfast is a great option for those seeking a good western breakfast, as it was tasty.

Great area and quick check in/out. Free luggage storage was very nice

The robots were nice
