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.

Rough Guide "Just off bustling Nakamise-dori, this smart little ryokan is... surprisingly affordable."
Frommer's "Whenever a foreigner living in Tokyo, soon to host first-time visitors to Japan, asks me to recommend a moderately priced ryokan in Tokyo, this is the one I most often suggest." Full review
Concierge "Guests have a choice of 16 Japanese-style rooms with tatami, futon mattresses, and a shared bath, or six en suite Western versions with beds."
Fodor's "Just off Nakamise-dori and inside the Senso-ji grounds, this small inn, with both Japanese- and Western-style rooms, could not be better located for a visit to the temple." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This beautifully maintained ryokan is adorned with paper screen windows and tatami mats."
Time Out "Barely 30 seconds from Asakusa’s market and temple complex, yet surprisingly peaceful, the Shigetsu offers a choice of comfortable rooms in Japanese and Western styles." Full review
Lonely Planet "South of Sensō-ji, this spotless and atmospheric ryokan has mostly Japanese-style rooms. The entire inn is immaculate." Full review
