Rough Guide "This moderately priced hotel packs a surprisingly classy punch."
Frommer's "Though quite classy (and pricey), the Marunouchi is lacking in facilities and services, placing it more squarely in the business-hotel category." Full review

For the best view ask for a room facing Tokyo Station, where triple-pane glass allows you to watch bullet trains silently glide by.
Concierge "It's a very good value and an exceptionally convenient location, a stone's throw from the Narita Airport Express in the heart of a thriving business and shopping district."
Fodor's "Convenience is one reason to choose the Marunouchi Hotel... rooms are small but tastefully outfitted with the necessities of a business traveler." Full review

Convenience is one reason to choose the Marunouchi Hotel, occupying the upper 11 floors of the Marunouchi Oazo Building and joining Tokyo Station via an underground walkway.
Michelin Guide "Located in front of Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi North exit, this hotel is convenient for both businesspeople and tourists."
DK Eyewitness "This comfortable, tastefully decorated hotel is housed in the new Oazu Building facing Tokyo Station."
Time Out "Rooms (which vary considerably in size) are on the ninth to 17th floors... and major in sumptuous materials in a palette of browns and golds." Full review

"Marunouchi means "in the circle", a reference to the fact that this district has expanded within an area demarcated by the moat surrounding the neighbouring Imperial Palace." Full review
Lonely Planet "Handy for Tokyo Station (and with great views of the building from many of its rooms), the Marunouchi deftly synthesises modern conveniences with Japanese style." Full review
