GMO Arena Saitama

This hotel is really close to 2 stations that connect to all system ( Hatchobori and Koyobashi ) it’s in the city of Chuo, close to Ginza center can be compared to Rodeo Drive but way spacious. The famous Tsukiji Seafood market can be reached by walking (about 20 minutes). The facility is very clean, staff are friendly and attentive. If you want to have a view from your room, you have to be on the 9th to 10th floor, otherwise you will be looking at the wall of the next building. They have no amenities like gym, restaurants or spa. Some restaurants and convenient stores are about 2 to 5 minute walk. They have washing machine in the room, induction stove, microwave and kitchen utensils.

Beautiful facilities with friendly staff and deserves to be recognized. Plenty of restaurant options. Only downside is had some difficulties making a restaurant reservation through website (also no walk ins) and pool was open only accesible through paying extra for Spa. Not necessarily technologically friendly; more of an old school approach and feel. Will definitely stay again on any future stays. This hotel is more of a retreat from the busy Tokyo so plan accordingly.
