Hotel Hillarys Akasaka was a good location and choice for the beginning of our stay in Tokyo. Average sized room for Tokyo, not a lot of extra space but sufficient to serve our needs. Staff serviced our room each day and it was very clean. The sink with a long counter was along one wall in the main part of room while the toilet/bidet and shower were in a separate room. A little unusual but having the sink that way did provide more counter space. We opted to include breakfast each morning at their buffet since it was the start of our trip and we still needed to explore the area for other food options. They had a good variety of food choices, some Japanese style and some more American style. Both of us were able to find foods we liked. Hotel is in a good central location, tons of restaurants, conv stores, shipping and pharmacy type stores. The area got busier at night, it seemed like an area the local people visited for dinner. With the Akasaka-mitsuke station just down the street, I think the locals that live in the area exited the station and visited their favorite restaurants before heading home. The front desk staff was awesome. Very attentive, and quick. Answered our many questions with ease. They also shipped our luggage to Kyoto at the end of our stay. They were very experienced with that and it was quick and easy. (The photos were a quick after thought, shortly before checking out, to show room layout. Excuse the messy bed. 😉)
