Centurion Classic Akasaka |
The hotel at night |
Our room had 2 extra large full
beds (with very comfortable Slumberland mattresses and premium bedding) and
2 sofa beds and was equipped with two flat-screen TVs; kitchenette with a mini refrigerator,
a microwave oven, sink and electric kettle; in-room safe; humidifier; washing machine with free laundry
powder (really handy in the middle of summer); dryer and a machine that cools
you down when you stand on it.
Bottled water was also provided and replenished every day. Our room also had free wi-fi (also available in public areas). They also provide you with slippers, towels, umbrella, bath robes, face masks and a USB cable for both iPhone and Android charging.

We didn't have to bring personal toiletries since they provided a complete set of organic amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial wash, toner, lotion and etc. They also provide hair dryer and curling iron which was great for Grace and Cheska. Water pressure was very strong.

The hotel also had a 24-hour
front desk, elevator and luggage storage space. They offered daily housekeeping
and dry cleaning (additional charge). Breakfast wasn’t available in the hotel but you can have breakfast at its sister hotel (Centurion Hotel Residential Akasuka) nearby. Free tea and coffee sachets were available at the reception area.

They also had excellent English conversational skills and can research all needed information for places for us to see as well as make reservations for airport limousine bus (which we took to and from the hotel) back to Narita International Airport which is a 59.5-km./1-hour drive away. Our only disappointment was they couldn’t extend the 11 AM check-out time for us.

The hotel also had an
excellent location, being near (a 5-min. walk) two different Metro train
stations – the Akasaka Station (230 m.) and the Akasaka-Mitsuke Station (280 m.).
The latter has the Ginza and Marunouchi Line which made it very easy for us to access
popular destinations such as Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ginza with less hassle. The
Akasaka area is loaded with lots of eateries and several excellent restaurants
with a great vibe. There were at least 20 different restaurants within a
5-min. walk from the hotel. After a long day exploring the city, the
nearby Family Mart, Lawson and 7-11 convenience stores were perfect for topping
up on snacks, milk, sandwiches, packed meals and ice cream.
The property's strategic and convenient
location makes it an ideal point of departure for the city's must-see
destinations as well as excursions outside Tokyo. Popular local points of
interest near The Centurion Classic Akasaka include the lovely Hie Shrine (200
m.), the Akasaka ACT Theatre (300 m.), the New Ōtani Art Museum (640 m.), the NationalDiet Library (690 m.), the National Diet Building (700 m.) and the HikawaShrine (700 m.).
Breakfast can be had at the nearby Centurion Hotel Residential Akasuka |
It is also located 900 m.
from the Suntory Hall and the National Theater; 1.67 kms. (1.1 mi.) from RoppongiHills, Chidorigafuchi, Mori Art Museum and the Tokyo Imperial Palace; 1.91 kms. from Tokyo Tower; 2.8 kms. from ShinjukuGyoen National Garden; and 7 kms. from Senso-ji Temple. The hotel is also 14.1 kms. (8.7 mi.) from TokyoHaneda Airport (a 22-min. drive) and 83.2 kms. from Ibaraki Airport.
Offering a relaxed and
hassle-free 4-night stay for my family, this hotel was a real find and a smart
choice for travelers to Tokyo. I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially
for those who will travel with their families. Compared to more expensive upscale
hotels, this one truly lived up to our expectations, making our stay in Tokyo a
lot easier and more comfortable.
