Rough Guide "Mammoth hotel which is a tourist attraction in its own right for its traditional gardens."
Frommer's "The hotel's most splendid feature is its garden, the best of any Tokyo hotel." Full review

Because rates are the same no matter which way you face, be sure to request a room overlooking the garden.
Fodor's "A bustling complex in the center of Tokyo... the New Otani can feel frantic, but its best feature, a spectacular 10-acre Japanese garden, helps guests find sanctuary." Full review
Time Out "The New Otani sprawls like a mini metropolis over a vast area ten minutes’ walk west of the Imperial Palace." Full review
Lonely Planet "There’s a whiff of pretension about the New Ōtani, but it’s justified, loaded as it is with large, luxurious rooms, upmarket restaurants, boutiques and gift shops." Full review
OysterLuxury
"There are a whopping 1,479 spacious rooms in the tower, with varying styles of decor along with minibars and flat-screen TVs." Full review
Star Service "300 m south of Yotsuya Station and convenient to the Yotsuya, Nagata-cho and Akasaka-mitsuke subway stations, Tokyo's most substantial hotel offers something for everyone." Full review

With so many rooms, staffers are slow (if at all) to respond to special requests.

"About 2km north of Asakusa in the Sanya area, the minimalist and modern Andon Ryokan is fabulously designed in form and function." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Enjoy the free tea and coffee here while taking in the compact design of this ultramodern ryokan."
Time Out "It bills itself as ‘Tokyo's first designer ryokan’, but you'd probably do better to think of Andon as a high-end backpacker hostel." Full review
OysterBudget
"Andon Ryokan is a very basic but clean budget hotel that's popular with young travelers and is conveniently located within walking distance of the subway." Full review
Travel + Leisure "An updated version of a traditional ryokan, this is a small inn with only 24 rooms--all filled with antiques hand-selected by the owner." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Sleep on a futon in this modern take on a traditional ryokan inn, with budget rooms and friendly service in residential eastern Tokyo." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Not far from Ueno and Asakusa, it's a streamlined nod to traditional inns." Full review
Independent "In Taito – not far from sightseeing spots like Ueno and Asakusa – this ryokan (inn), aimed largely at non-Japanese travellers, has modest tatami mat guestrooms with futons"
