Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo
"My only “complaint” and it isn’t really a big deal, were the laundry amenities. Because it’s such a large hotel with many guests, it can be difficult to find an open washing machine without having to wait. Other than that it was a great experience and a wonderful hotel."

"The toilet in my room smelled as if someone dripped on the floor, which was carpet. Both my husband and I smelled it. Everywhere else was clean and neat. The rest(staffs, guests, food…) were very good to great. Staffs were very polite and helpful. JR line from Tokyo Station was almost empty."
