This hotel really depends on what you plan on doing in Japan. Tokyo was our main destination for a week, and we wanted to call this our home base. Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza, Harajuku, Akihabara, Asakusa, were all about 20-25 mins by Taxi. So staying at Hotel Niwa in Chiyoda seemed like a smart and centralized home base for us. The hotel IS clean, quiet, fairly priced, staff are friendly, and the neighborhood is fun with some pretty good local eats. Just know where you are going, and where you want to stay in Tokyo.
