karaksa hotel premier Tokyo Ginza

The hotel location is very good, not far from the main Giza shopping area. You can easily walk everywhere. The room is spacious. The lounge is a bonus, it provides free drinks including sake & wines (2 glasses per person per night) & snacks all day long.

No washing machine

The hotel is in an excellent location , very central , you can walk to most sites .

Breakfast is very limited . The hotel does not have a restaurant, the breakfast is delivered in the room in a box . One day it’s Japanese breakfast, which was not our taste and the next day it’s western breakfast, which leaves much to be desired, we didn’t touch the breakfast.

Centrally located. The staff were nice and helpful. The free lounge access was added benefit

Rooms are small

When we opted to move hotel rather than stay at the Karaksa, the hotel receptionist was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

We booked the Karaksa on the basis of the many positive reviews. We were specifically interested in the lounge access for premier room guests. When we arrived at the hotel we realised that the ‘lounge’ was a small room off the small reception area with no seating, where premier guests could help themselves to the complimentary wine, pastries etc. The photos on the website which we took to be of the lounge, were in fact wide angle photos of the small reception area, there was limited seating in this area with guests checking in and out of the hotel/ luggage around etc, it was not the comfortable lounge we were expecting. The room was fine but there was no wardrobe, instead there was a hanging bar which was flat against the wall that would only take a couple of garments. We couldn’t understand why breakfast has been commended by so many; we stayed when the following morning was a European breakfast, (this alternates with the Japanese option). The breakfast consisted of two bowls of onion soup; one small serving of an omelette with ham and two tiny croissants. The egg dish was too small to be shared and we couldn’t understand why onion soup was served at 9 am. There is no restaurant or bar, hence breakfast being served to the room and as mentioned no lounge-this did not feel like a four star hotel.
