Checking-In At Nikko Hotel, Ginza

From Tokyo Station, we made our way directly to our hotel, Nikko Hotel in Ginza. The hotel was located a bit far from the station so we had to walk quite a bit to reach the hotel. A small hotel, with just 10 floors (and about 15 rooms per floor) and 7 floors for guests rooms.

Checking in was a breeze. I just handed my JAL Mileage Bank card to the reception desk and they didn't even ask for our passports. We actually checked-in early and was allowed to enter our room immediately afterwards. Awesome!

Photos of the entrance and lobby. Those with wheelchairs might not be advisable to check-in here as there are steps going up to the lobby. Maybe there is a ramp somewhere, but I didn't see it. And the corridor leading to the elevators was quite small too.

Photos of our room. The room was quite small, with low ceiling. Hey, land in Ginza is at a premium, right? We just paid 20,000yen per night for a double room which is quite affordable.
A minuscule wardrobe in the room. Just a little bit taller than Raimie.Yukata in the room and me wearing one. It was long enough to fully cover me. Tall guests would find the yukata fit them just nice.
View from our room.
Small lobby on our room floor.
Pay TV vending machine for those who require "special" TV channel and entertainment.
Instead of a housekeeping trolley/cart, here it was just a housekeeping basket. Shows how small the hotel is.

Next up : what we ate on our first day in Tokyo. Want to know? Stay tuned! :D
