Bayside Hotel Azur Takeshiba Hamamatsucho

Best view with cheap price. Accessible to train station . Short walk to the Hamarikyu Garden also to Hinode passenger terminal for Odaiba.

I came to Tokyo for a wedding, and I booked this hotel because I got coupons through work. With the coupons the price was reasonable. I checked in at around 3 PM on Christmas Eve. The line was very long, almost all couples, so I figured the bay view rooms must be quite romantic. I was with my kid, so we got the cheaper city view room. It was good enough. The nice thing about the room was the king size bed. However, the bed takes up the whole room, so there was hardly any space to open my suitcase. Also, our room was a smoking room so it had an odor. I would have preferred a non-smoking room but there were none available. The room was old, and it especially showed its age in the bathroom. There was an old style washlet toilet and a very cramped unit bath, which we didn't use because we used the public bath. I was disappointed with the public bath because there was no outdoor bath and no view from the windows. You can enjoy the view from the relaxation room, but this area wasn't clearly marked. I thought it was a staff area since it was behind a curtain and dark inside. I only noticed it because my daughter wandered in. When I was in the bath, I noticed the same disposable razor sitting by the bath on multiple days, so it made me question how well they clean it. Also, getting to the bath was inconvenient, because from our room we had to go down to the lobby, then take a different elevator up. My daughter enjoyed the bath very much though, and I suppose it's maybe a luxury to have such a public bath at a Tokyo hotel? Breakfast was tasty, and the amount was adequate for an adult and small child to share the French toast and other sides. We didn't try the other restaurants because they looked pricey. There's a fridge in the room, but I made a mistake and put ice cream in it without adjusting the coldness level. It wasn't cold enough and my ice cream just melted to cream. The location was decent but it was a 10-15 min walk to Daimon/Hamamatsucho, so a bit far for a small child to walk without complaining. Takeshiba station is closer, but it wasn't a convenient station to use for the places we were going. Overall, it was a fine hotel and I'd likely use it again, but only because I get coupons through work.
