the b ginza in Tokyo

Terrible stay from start to finish.

I booked this hotel a couple of days in advance, only to realise on the day of check-in that prices had dropped drastically — even larger rooms were going for less than what I paid. I contacted both Trip and the hotel, but neither was willing to adjust or refund the booking. Lesson learned: book this place as late as possible if you want a better deal.

The location is also far from ideal — quite a walk from the nearest metro, which is especially frustrating if you’re carrying luggage.

At check-in, I was made to pay city tax for two people despite booking for one. I was told to take it up with Trip instead of getting any resolution on the spot.

The room itself was shockingly small, with barely any space to move around the bed — honestly too cramped even for one person.

Cleanliness was also questionable. I woke up to someone else’s false eyelashes on my pillow, which makes me wonder if the sheets were even changed.

Breakfast was underwhelming — limited selection and nothing particularly enjoyable.

The only redeeming factor was the coffee machine at reception.

Would not recommend.
