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, occupying the upper 11 floors of the Marunouchi Oazo Building and joining Tokyo Station via an underground walkway.

"Hoshinoya Tokyo is one of the capital's very few luxury ryokans...it promises to present a serious challenge to Tokyo's glut of luxury hotels, though a night's stay sure doesn't come cheap here." Full review
Wallpaper
"Set among the straight-laced skyscrapers in the city’s financial district, the property might not be one the loftier hotels in Tokyo, but what it lacks in height it makes up for in clever design." Full review

Traditional breakfast is brought to the room upon your request and you can get Japanese or Western style.
