Hotel & Residence Roppongi (H&R Roppongi): Lin Room

Are you looking for a quaint yet classy place to stay in the middle of downtown, Tokyo? Do you want a touch of Japanese traditional with hints of Western modern? Look no further, Hotel & Residence Roppongi is the place for you.

This was my second time to stay at H&R Roppongi. I wrote about my first fantastic experience here:

I’m happy to say that my second visit was even better than the first. I brought my girlfriend along with me this time, and so decided to stay in one of their larger rooms, the “Lin Room” to be exact:

I knew I was in good hands when I was greeted again by bright, courteous, cheerful staff. I liked that they wanted to know more than my name and if I had a reservation, they talked to me like a friend.

After a prompt check in, I went straight to my room on the sixth floor. Imagine my delight when I was met by a complementary bottle of sparkling wine and cute Japanese candies that are given as thanks for booking the Lin Room (the fridge was filled with additional free drinks, too).

The room, which is perfect for one or a couple, is simply dazzling. Look at the pictures above and below to get a sense of the romantic Asian mood the Lin Room creates. The decor is a mixture of traditional and post-modern Japanese; sexy and dark, but most important to me – clean.

The amenities are plenty: a decent-sized television and Blu-Ray DVD player with a comfortable wooden couch to enjoy them from. A huge bed with an abundant amount of room to put personal belongings and what-nots. The bathroom was gorgeous, too, complete with a mini-TV to watch from the tub.

Very Possibly My Favourite “Everyday” Tokyo Hotel

My girlfriend and I were only there for a night. We checked in a little after 3 PM, then walked around the neighbourhood until it was time for dinner, which you can read about here:

Afterwards we rented a movie, went back to our room and relaxed the night away – but not before stopping at one of the several convenience stories located conveniently nearby.

The next morning we enjoyed our complimentary breakfast, which was downright awesome. In addition to the regular hotel fare, there was plenty of super fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as toritllas to make our own breakfast burritos!

H&R Roppongi might not be the ultimate choice to stay at if you’re staying with friends instead of loved ones, or if you favor rooms that cater only to Western foreigners. Personally, I was very much surprised by how comfortable it was to spend so many hours in the same hotel room with another person. It’s quite possibly my favourite “everyday” Tokyo hotel.

H&R Roppongi is also perfectly located in the heart of downtown. Not only are there a number of tourist landmarks one can visit, but there are also quite a lot of local businesses and shops that you can visit and take advantage of.

In the end, the best thing I can say is: I’ll definitely be staying a third and fourth time and whenever else I’m in town. H&R Roppongi have won me as a loyal customer and regular.

Remember to ask for the Lin Room – and tell them Lee sent you

For most people in search of mid-range accommodation for their trip, the first and only option that comes to mind is a hotel. But there is an alternative that not only works out cheaper but has better services : serviced apartments. A serviced apartment is fully furnished and offers the privacy and comforts of home, but is run like a hotel, with housekeeping staff as well as 24 hours concierge service.

Serviced apartments are a great way to feel like a local and have a more authentic travel experience.

For example, doing your own cooking is one of the reasons that would make some customers choose it instead of a hotel. Even in case you are not planning on doing much cooking during your stay, a kitchen with a microwave oven can be great and help you to be flexible. Also, although a regular hotel can provide wide variety of different premium laundry services (ie. dry cleaning), they are quite expensive in general, especially in Tokyo. Having your own washing machine in your room, you can wash your clothes anytime for free.

Here is a great article about 7 Benefits Of Staying In A Serviced Apartment by a travel site, WonderPlex.

Our Hotel and Residence Roppongi has various services so that you could stay at hotel like you live in your house. Please read here about what’s available if you stay at their premium rooms.

You can look at their room options here. An eclectic mix of traditional and modern Japan, the sleekly designed hotel might inspire your idea of Japanese kuukan (space) and the feel of “Wa” (harmony) into your own daily life.

Enjoy your time in Tokyo!
