If you want to feel like royalty, stay here. The hotel staff immediately greets you at check in and seats you to walk you through the check in process. The Bell attendant escorted us to the room and explained all the amenities. I wish I had more time to stay and take in the restaurants but I did try the room service which was beyond delicious and well priced. There’s also a nice garden attached to the hotel which was an added perk. Absolutely an amazing hotel.

I travel to Tokyo frequently for work, so I'm very accustomed to Japanese hotels, but this was my first stay at Rihga Royal. It's billed as a high-end hotel, but is more of an average hotel with gaudy decor. The staff were all very pleasant and the stay was acceptable, but the property has not been very well maintained. I booked a "luxury double" room, but it was much more cramped than the photos suggested and the furniture was quite worn. Cleanliness was very poor by Japanese standards. There were peanuts and cookie crumbs all over the room floor when I checked in, so they obviously didn't vacuum at all. And they still didn't vacuum after I put out the "please clean the room" door hanger. There was also some dried food on the desk that I had to wipe up. Overall it wasn't terrible, but there are much better options at this price point in Tokyo.

we used the hotel shuttle to and from the station. The ride to the station went smoothly, but I had issues returning. On two separate occasions, the shuttle did not show up at the scheduled pickup time, even though we were waiting at the designated location. This caused inconvenience and delays. I hope this can be addressed for better reliability going forward.

This is one of the few hotels that will allow 4 people in one suite and they setup two twin size beds for the kids. Staff was very friendly and helpful though few people spoke English very well — they did have a couple of native English speakers but had to catch them when available. The lobby and restaurants were very nice. The room clearly needs renovation as the furniture, carpets, and walls need cleaned or replaced. Overall very happy with our stay and consider it a good value.

The staff were excellent and friendly. We were greeted with an English speaking agent on arrival and he provided us wet towels to refresh and brought all our luggage to our rooms. They have a free shuttle that picks you up and drops off to Takadanababa station every 30 minutes. We preferred to walk 10 minutes to Waseda station which is next to a big grocery store. There is a huge garden attached to the property that is very quiet. We enjoyed a beautiful high tea at the garden cafe onsite. We also had a really delicious meal at the Chinese restaurant onsite. We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again. Must try the bakery across the street!

Hotel room was dated. Property and restaurants onsite were great. Garden onsite was nice. Some staff spoke very good english. If you are looking for a hotel with good room service (morning coffee, food, etc) this hotel is NOT a good choice. The hotel has a university right next to it so there are a lot of great food options in the area.
