We spent 5 nights at the Dai-ichi in Oct. I spent a lot of time reading reviews before choosing a hotel. We were so pleased with our choice. I booked through Hotels.ca and paid 225 Cdn/night including taxes. This did not include breakfast. The room was big, pretty and extremely clean with a king bed and large well-equipped bathroom.

We recently stayed twice at the Dai-Ichi for a total of five nights in September of 2008. We were surprised at how far our money went - I was worried about the quality of hotel for our budget of $200 US per night. The Dai-Ichi was in a fabulous location - less than 2 blocks from Shimbashi Station. We had... more

Any time I go to Tokyo I would stay here and have raved about it to anyone I hear is going to that city. We could not fault the hotel and in fact did not want to leave the room after arriving from a rather less salubrious trip. The hotel feels luxurious. Large room, scrupulously clean and the service is... more

Hotel location by Shimbashi station is perfect if you want to see sites in and around Tokyo. Easy access to all major attractions in Tokyo via Yamanote and Chuo lines (both Japan Rail -- no charge if you have a JR Pass). Tokyo station is only two stops northeast of Shimbashi via the Yamanote line. From there you can take... more

Loved this hotel. Perfect location close to subway, shops, and lots of restaurants as well as convenience stores. Staff was friendly and internet was always available. Rooms were large and nice bathrooms. Would definately stay again. more

As others have said, huge rooms for Japan, and huge bathrooms too. Great beds (huge!), and good selection of pillows. Very helpful staff who generally speak good English. Yes, you can hear the trains from the rooms, but not enough to be bothersome. (But then again I back on to a tube line at home, so I'm used to it... more

We (family of 5, including teenager and two children) stayed at Dai-Ichi Hotel for 5 nights in late December 2007. Bottomline is that this is a nice hotel to use as a base for exploring Tokyo, with its very convenient location next to the Tokyo Metro Shimbashi station and a stone's throw away from the Ginza area, but the hotel... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Dai Ichi for 9 nights, 22-31 of March. The service was extremly helpful and always with a smile. We used concierge several times and all of their directions were spot on and easy to follow. The room was spatious and was always so clean and smelled nice when we returned. At one end... more

It took me a long time to find the right hotel for my stay in Tokyo. I was returning from a business trip so I wasn't going to be there that long. What's more is that I was footing the hotel bill on my own dime since I wasn't really doing business in Tokyo. When I saw the price, I... more
