10/10 Exceptional
3 October 2024
First hotel on Tokyo honeymoon
HOSHINOYA met our high expectations - but many of the notes from other reviewers rang true. Overall we really enjoyed it and would recommend.
1. We stayed 3 nights. Even if you have the budget, wouldn't recommend staying much longer than that as some of the rituals get a bit tired after a couple days (such as taking off shoes when entering).
2. Room is overall nice but not super spacious and ours smelled a bit funky. Shower is good but not incredible. Bed is good.
3. Common area is nice and the snacks and drinks available were great.
4. Welcome/arrive felt high service and exclusive.
5. Onsen is nice and unique but would have liked to have a steam room or other facilities as well
6. We did the sake tasting and enjoyed it - would recommend.
7. Location is good and we did a lot on foot our first 2 days. Great to be near Ginza and train station.
8. Expected a bit more from a service perspective but it met our needs. For example - no turn down service, front desk a bit slow to respond to inquiries.
