After much research, I booked Hotel Monterey Hanzomon for our nights in Tokyo. We stayed there for two nights, left our luggage there while we went to Hakone for one night, and then returned for another two nights. Hotel Monterey Hanzomon ended up being a good choice for our family.
The hotel is located directly across the street from Hanzomon metro station. This is definitely a plus and made it easy to take public transportation. While we did end up having to take a lot of transfers, I liked that Hanzomon was a less-busy station. The neighborhood, which is just west of the Imperial Palace felt quiet and safe.
The men working in the hotel lobby spoke English and were all polite and helpful. We wanted to drop off our luggage in the morning before check-in, and it was not a problem.
We knew the rooms would be small, so the size was not a surprise. The rooms for four adults have four twin beds squeezed together. This actually worked out for us since the kids were able to have their own bed. We did not spend that much time in the room, so it did not feel too cramped.
Hotel Monterey Hanzomon Amenities
Hotel Monterey Hanzomon provided 8 free water bottles that were refreshed with housekeeping. k is very picky about her water, so this was an unexpected perk! There was also a small coffee machine so D could make his morning cup.
The bathroom was also small, but nice. Fancy toilet and plenty of amenities! I never got used to the continuously warm toilet seat.
In the evening, there was also a small stand in the lobby that offered free facial masks and skincare kits.
Hotel Monterey Hanzomon Final Thoughts
I am not sure how full the hotel was, but I never heard any noise from other guests during our entire stay. If you are looking for a quiet hotel that is close to a metro station and not too far from Shibuya and Shinjuku, consider Hotel Monterey Hanzomon.
