The freebies in the bathroom were really great, the power in the shower was amazing. The hotel has an old classic feel and is designed beautifully. The breakfsst could be imrpoved with a few more hot vegetarian options but otherwise fine. The fresh orange juice was a great touch.

We ended up staying at the Rihga at the beginning and end of our recent trip to Tokyo because we loved the hotel so much! We traveled with our 8yr old son and the additional room was awesome plus the view of the garden is stunning! The staff is super friendly and accomodating, the shuttle is an incredible feature the hotel offers which was one of the reasons we booked it in the first place, it takes you to the main train station in the area, (approx a 10min bus ride) to Takadanobaba Station and at the drop off there are tons of restaurants and shopping options. The only complaint we had was that Expedia advertises this hotel as having a pool, however what it doesnt mention is that 1. Its 3300 yen per person/per entry roughly $30CAD 2. its part of their health club so no children under 12yrs old can go in and 3. nobody with visible tattoos can go in. This was REALLY dissapointing and i do believe expedia should include a disclosure with this pool feature as it was another big reason we chose this hotel as i know most families with children do love having a pool.

Great Service, Needs Cleaning

The service of the staff was excellent. They were all helpful and took care of any need you had, definitely the highlight of the stay. However, there was an earring left behind on the floor and a bit of mold on the shower ceiling that soured the experience. The bed is also a bit stiff.

This was our 2nd time staying at this hotel- the last time was back in 2015- and I'm happy to say the service is still just as wonderful. The staff overall are very friendly and welcoming, but I especially want to highlight Santoz and Jimme for their outstanding service.The shuttle is also very convenient , which make this location even better. Everything about our stay was excellent, and we truly appreciate the warm hospitality. we look forward to coming back again.
