I love the Dai-Ichi
It’s so conveniently located and the staff is great--very helpful and efficient. Because I speak Japanese, I can’t say whether any of them speak proficient English, but on my first visit three years ago the concierge was able to help me during a medical emergency for which I lacked the vocabulary. I think the rooms are wonderful--well-appointed with very comfortable beds and great bathrooms. I also love being so close to Shimbashi station, as I take public transportation everywhere. Here are my caveats: Don’t stay in a room below the 14th floor, as you will be disturbed by the noise from the trains. We started out on the 9th but upon our return from Kansai and Kyushu were upgraded to bigger rooms on the 14th, which was so much quieter. Your room may be non-smoking but everyone in the rooms around you will be puffing away. They really should have a non-smoking floor.
Don’t waste your money by eating in the hotel--this or any other in Tokyo. Food in Tokyo is reasonable if you go where ordinary people go, and it’s very hard to find a mediocre, let alone bad, meal. We ate breakfast at the SPID Group cafe at the back of Shimbashi Station--the greatest French pastries and coffee--for Y700 per person. There are countless fantastic and reasonable Japanese restaurants within easy walking distance. Through the concierge, I found an astonishing French restaurant, Les Amis du Vins, on a small street off the Ginza. Except for the desserts, it was the best French meal I’ve had outside France. For Italian food, take the train to Ebisu station and go to the mall above it--there’s a restaurant called Il Paradiso that serves the best Italian food I’ve had outside Italy.

The people at this hotel made our stay memorable.
Service was impeccable...from the bellmen to housekeepers. Impressive array of bathroom amenities. Extremely comfortable room, great location. Would definitely go back for another stay.
