Experience of the stay
This time, I came to New Otani Inn Tokyo, which is directly connected to Osaki Station on the Yamanote Line, through HafH.
Opened on February 1, 1987, it is a large hotel with 13 floors and a total of 427 rooms, also featuring banquet halls.
The room I booked was a non-smoking moderate single, but perhaps because there were available rooms, they upgraded me to a semi-double room.
The room size is 15 square meters, which is not particularly spacious, but it was perfectly fine for one person.
Honestly, it feels quite cramped for two people, so if you are two, you should definitely book a non-smoking moderate twin.
The room amenities were minimal, and any other necessities need to be brought up from the lobby.
The bathroom has a unit bath and feels like a business hotel standard.
I also felt the bathroom was slightly small, but it was no problem for normal use.
One slightly disappointing aspect is that, like many older hotels, there are not enough power outlets.
There are 2 outlets and 1 USB port on the desk, but none around the bed.
You really want at least three outlets, including a USB charger, around the bed.
The hotel has a restaurant and a cafe, but since HafH only offers a room-only plan, if you want to eat at the hotel, make sure to book a restaurant in advance.
The moderate room felt like an ordinary business hotel, but if you upgrade the room type, there seem to be lovely rooms like quality rooms and executive rooms.
Right in front of the hotel, there is a convenience store, which is convenient for purchasing breakfast or late-night snacks.
The advantage of this hotel is definitely its excellent access from Haneda Airport, being located right in front of Osaki Station.
If you have business in the Osaki or Gotanda area, you might want to consider it.
Experiences during the trip
This time, I chose New Otani Inn Tokyo due to work reasons, so I didn't do any sightseeing.
After checking in, I visited a client in Gotanda.
In the evening, I spent time having dinner with a former colleague in Gotanda.
We ordered a course at a restaurant called Nappa Gochisō Gotanda, and the first dish was super suspicious: "Eel in Beijing Duck Style, Instantly Smoked."
The menu was full of places to complain about, and I felt like I completely nailed the introduction.
