Royal Park Hotel The Shiodome

4.5 overall score.
We LOVED the location. Literally right next to Shimbashi station which is super convenient. There was also a Family Mart (convenience store) downstairs near the exercise room which was really nice to have. This hotel is beautiful, everything about it felt very high end but the cost was really affordable (we booked through
). The value for the money was amazing. There were also nice perks such as complimentary water everyday and Shiseido bath products. We will definitely be back to this hotel when we go back to Tokyo!

Really enjoying our stay. 4.5 stars overall.
Breakfast buffet: You should try the hotel breakfast buffet. Lots of salad, fruit including lychee, fresh omelettes, high quality coffee and croissants, comes to about 2800 yen. At 6:30am, no wait like there is at the fish market (arrive at 4:40am, to stand in a 35 person line until 8:25am to get into restaurant), what better options are there!
Room: high ceilings, excellent lighting, shower and bidet have good temperature controls. Sink doesn’t have much standing space to shave or brush your teeth. Standing at the sink seems a non priority in bathrooms, generally in Tokyo. The window view is outstanding if you are fortunate to get a room with one. WiFi is fast and reliable.
Staff: friendly, professional, and go out of their way to help.
In-​room shaitsu massage: We thought let’s splurge since it seems reasonable for in-​room service. But it takes place on your bed with your face uncomfortably embedded in those overstuffed pillows, making it hard to breathe when you’re getting pummelled. They should bring a nicer folding massage table with some amenities and warm you up before digging into you. It seems they know what they’re doing but it feels very transactional and not relaxing. My partner and I wouldn’t do this again.
Gym: free weights up to 25lbs, a few cardio machines, yoga mat, tall mirrors, good water machine and towels. They lack a bench and any circuit training equipment. This area can improve with more space and equipment given how nice all other aspects of the hotel are.
We would stay here again. Thank you staff!

Absolutely Loved Our Stay !!
We stayed in a renovated king room. Loved the room and all of the amenities, especially the fridge. The view was awesome.
We dined at restaurants in the hotel and in the area (many to choose from). We were not disappointed.
The location is perfect. It is connected to the rail system via an underground walkway with shops, restaurants and a convenience store.
The staff was very friendly and helpful with our requests.
Although it rained for 4 of our 7 nights, we did not let it dampen our spirits or our trip.
We will definitely stay here again.

Rooms are Tokyo small (or big for Tokyo?), but nicely appointed with good amenities. Breakfast room was poorly laid out and the food was below average.
Great location, with lots to do near by.

Very convenient location as the property is easily accessible from the Shimbashi Station. Our room on the 38^th floor had all of the amenities one needs to be comfortable, including complimentary mineral water, hot water pot, refrigerator, and very nice toiletries. I love that hotels in Japan, in general, supply ample amounts of bath soap and shampoo and conditioner! There is a gym free of charge, and this was convenient for my daughter’s late night workout. Wi-​Fi is free and reliable. The staff is well-​trained and extremely courteous. The view from our room of Tokyo was stunning! The only down-​side is that although my understanding is that this entire hotel is supposed to be non smoking, I could smell smoke on a couple of the nights there. I gather that this is unavoidable in Japan hotels.

Chose this place because of the central location and on-​premises laundry facilities.
Pros:
Just a short walk to Shinbashi station.
Lots of great restaurants in the neighborhood.
Awesome views of Tokyo tower from our 32 floor corner room.
Attentive staff.
Cons:
Broken appliances included refrigerator and clothes dryer… Very inconvenient during my busy schedule.
The dated sofa had lots of stains and shower area had more mold than I have ever seen in a hotel.

3.5 stars.
I would give this hotel property a 4 if some things work.
Located in the Shiodome area which I really like and highly preferred for a place to stay in Tokyo. Covered underpass from the hotel to Tokyo Metro and JR line. Came here direct from Haneda on Keikyu line and the train became a local train straight to Shimbashi station.
Pros:
1) Location, location, location. Short walk to Tokyo Metro and Ginza just a station away. Walking distance to Ginza, but I rather not.
2) beautiful room with nice sitting area. Believe the check-​in staff said my room was upgraded? I don’t completely comprehend what she said, but say 98%. Room was larger than I thought, definitely bigger than many hotels in Tokyo.
3) Nice view. Can see part of Hama-​rikyu Garden and a tiny part of the bay.
4) Staffs are friendly in general.
Cons: (from the most annoying to least)
1) Light switches– absolutely drives me crazy. I don’t understand why can’t I turn on some lights but not the rest. Lights are turned on from bathroom to the bedroom when keycard was inserted on the wall. There is no way for me to just turn on the bathroom light only. Still could not figure out how to turn on the table lamp next to the bed. I had to use a battery operated candle (found in the room) to make my way in the dark at night. I hope the hotel is not hoping the guests will use candles more and save on electricity.
2) AC/​air conditioning. AC doesn’t seem to work when I put the room at 24C or 25C, only appeared running at 20C. In general, I don’t feel hot easily but rather scared of cold. Feel too warm in the room, had to put the room at 20C and I ended up freezing.
3) Bed. Way too soft, doesn’t offer much support. Woke up in the middle of the night. Not good. Thank goodness this is just a trial stay for me.
4) Not enough electrical outlets. Surprise this is a hotel catered to business travelers. Don’t the guests here need to charge their phones and tablets?
5) Room as a whole suffers from identity crisis. Contemporary design but with white desk and cabinets with flowers?
6) Checked in staff did not ask if I needed help with my suitcase. That’s a basic question.
This is no Conrad Tokyo but the hotel is very good for its price point. However, based on my gripe from 1 – 3 above, Conrad Tokyo will definitely be my #1 choice.

I stayed here in April 2015 because it was convenient for visiting a customer.
The location is very convenient with easy and mostly undercover access to Shinbashi and Shiodome subway stations. It is directly across from the Nippon TV building, which features an incredible Studio Ghibli steampunk clock. The proximity to the TV network means that many people staying at the hotel are there to work with NTV.
My room was a decent size and WiFi was free. The bed was comfortable and everything worked. Nothing bad to report. It isn’t the largest room in the world but then again, it is Tokyo.
There are multiple restaurants. I ate at the bar and at the «French» restaurant, which is also where breakfast is served. The night that I arrived, I had a French onion soup and a Japanese beef curry at the bar, both of which were excellent. Breakfast was good with made to order eggs and a decent selection of Western items. The French/​breakfast restaurant also affords views of the Tokyo TV tower.
All in all, I was very happy with my stay here and would repeat.

My family and I just stayed 4 nights at this hotel. It exceeded my expectations. I did a lot of research on the rooms & accommodations before booking our hotel stay. We reserved a deluxe twin room and it was very spacious for Tokyo standards. It was a corner room with 4 large window views of the surrounding city.
The bathroom was huge with a separate toilet (the TOTO heated toilet/​bidet was awesome) and bathtub/​showering area. It was the perfect amount of space for my family of 3 (2 adults & one 7-​year old) with our 2 huge luggage and 3 carry-​ons. All amenities were provided — pajamas, slippers, toiletries, and complementary bottled water. They even supplied amenities and slippers for my 7-​year old. There was also an iron and ironing board in the closet. The room also comes with a mini-​fridge, water kettle, work desk, dresser drawer, and small pull-​out sofa that can sleep one more person. It was a wonderful stay!
We ate at their Harmony restaurant each morning which offers a Western & Asian style buffet breakfast. There is a chef that will cook you fresh eggs/​omelets however you want it prepared. They also have a Chinese style and Japanese restaurant which offers breakfast as well. We ate dinner at their Japanese restaurant one night and it was excellent.
I found the hotel staff to be very friendly and helpful during our entire stay. All of the staff we encountered, including all of the waitstaff at their restaurants, all spoke some English. The check-​in and check-​out process was smooth, efficient, and quick. They will also hold your luggage for you, after check-​out. My family all loved this hotel and we will definitely stay again on our next trip to Tokyo.

I have stayed here a couple of times and this hotel is extremely gorgeous. You have great views from pretty much every room and the amenities are top notch. When you think about the Japanese hospitality, this place pretty much personifies that. The lobby is great, the staff is friendly and the restaurant is awesome. This hotel in particular is located right in shiodome and has the shimbashi station located right in front of it. Not to mention you’re a quick 5 – 10 min walk to all the experiences on Ginza. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Tokyo.

Our first time visiting Tokyo on our own. We don’t speak Japanese but know a few words. Didn’t need to because most people spoke good english. Was a little challenging outside but we managed. We needed a extra bed so they made the sofa into a bed for us. If we go back will definitely stay here again.

I think I just found my new place to stay in Tokyo. I normally stay at Hotel Villa Fontaine Shiodome for its price and location (only 15 mints to my company’s HQ building), but since I found better rate online, I decided to try here this time.
Sorry Villa Fontaine, I am switching my loyalty to Royal Park Hotel.
Location is very good. Use any of trains (yurikamome, subway, or JR), only 5 mins away from any of their train station. Don’t even have to walk outside to get to this hotel.
Check in process is very smooth. I was in my room no time.
Room is well designed. I like the shape of the desk, it gives you enough space but doesn’t make it too crowded in a tiny hotel room. I like a little push cart they had under the bathroom sink. Counter space in the bathroom is limited but they placed a push cart to put extra bathroom stuff. It was unfortunate that I found a huge stain on the carpet in my room. Carpet was a bit outdated and I think it is about time they re-​do the carpet. I don’t think that huge stain will come off unless it is replaced.
View from my room was good. Always nice to have good view from a room.
During my stay, I had an opportunity to try their lobby bar. The wine list is limited but can’t expect too much from a business hotel. The wine I had was 2009 Château de la Rivière. I generally like a wine from Bordeaux. The body is on lighter side but I still enjoyed. I think the view from the bar helped. Beautiful night skyline. I didn’t like the price. This one is sold at $ 20-​$ 30 at a store but they are selling here for $ 120. Mark up was more than I wanted to see. I wanted to drink wine anyway.
I also had a chance to try their breakfast buffet one morning. View from this restaurant is very nice. Whenever I see the Tokyo Tower, I know I am in Japan.
Food was decent, had a better breakfast buffet for the same price somewhere else. Next time I want to try their Japanese restaurant for breakfast.
What makes so different for this hotel is the gym So rare to find a hotel with gym in Tokyo for business hotel. Yes, nicer hotel has gym but not at a typical business hotel for the price I paid for the room. I tend to overeat and drink too much while in Japan, and I end up gaining weight every single time I visit here. I had a nice work out at the hotel gym. Not too big but never that crowded. Free to use for registered guest.
This hotel will be my regular place to stay whenever I come to Tokyo for business for its location, well designed room, good service, and the gym.

Wow! What Service! Wow! Look at the price!
The Shiodome hotel was one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at but also one of the priciest. At over $ 450 a night, shouldn’t everything be excellent?
Service: The service was good, but good customer service is baseline in Japan. There’s bi-​lingual staff and an excellent breakfast (Japanese and American) buffet — I like to have a little of everything. However, compared to other comparably priced hotels it didn’t seem like there were tons of staff available. Maybe this is normal, or maybe it’s an unobtrusive quality?
Rooms: Space is limited, but in a $ 450 hotel room? I had a small room, with a desk at the foot of the bed and a bathroom. Everything was meticulously clean and the room had plenty of natural sunlight with large windows.
Location: Close enough. Was close enough to the train station, Bic electronics store, and plenty of restaurants. It’s close to the fish market, but I wasn’t able to wake up early enough to go.
I’d stay here again, but would look around at other hotels first. Not entirely convinced it’s the best option in the price range.
