What do I have to say about this hotel?

Price: 9/10
I think the price is OK and not too pricey and a lot of Indonesians stay at this hotel.

Room: 10/10
When I got to my room, the room has an average size, not very big and not too small. For me personally, it has the right amount of space. The room is clean, the bathroom is tidy and offers great comforts.

Hotel Staffs: 8/10
The hotel staffs are quite friendly and helpful in general.

Location: (7/10)
This hotel is located in Shinjuku area of Tokyo and next to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. It's actually in the middle of a busy part of the city. However, since most of the time we walk in Tokyo, in the end it feels quite far from the public transportation. Some times, I felt too tired to go out again at night after returning from one whole day of walking.

Views: (8/10)
The hotel has a pretty good views of building surrounding the area. It's very urban and modern.

Overall: (8.5/10)

Overall, the hotel is pretty good and recommended. The hotel itself is quite old but they maintain it very well so it doesn't feel too old. There are also many restaurants inside the hotel that you can try.

Hotel Review: Hotel Grand Le Daiba Tokyo Japan

During my last trip to Japan, I stayed at Hotel Grand Le Daiba Tokyo for New Year's Eve 2013 and I had quite a pleasant stay there. I stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights (Dec 31, 2012 - Jan 2, 2013).

What do I have to say about this hotel?

Price: 8/10
First of all, it's quite pricey and might not be your best choice if you are under a budget. It's a five star hotel in Odaiba area in Tokyo.

Room: 10/10
The room I stayed in was quite big and completely shattered my expectation and assumption that hotel rooms in Tokyo would all bevery tiny and small. Well, I guess the price makes for the spacey rooms.

Hotel Staffs: 9/10
The hotel staffs are very friendly, nice, and well mannered (I find that most Japanese are very well mannered). However, as an international 5 star hotel, not many of the staffs speak English and the one who speaks English may not have the best spoken English skills. When I tried to find something to do during the New Year's Eve, I asked one of the staffs and had quite a difficulty talking to them. But, they are still the best. In my opinion, they are very very helpful and informative. I can see how they tried very hard to answer my questions and gather as much information as they could to make my time there a great one.

Location: (9/10)
This hotel is located in a strategic location in Odaiba area. It's close to shopping malls (Diver City, Aqua City), public transits (Daiba Station on Yurikamome Line), amusement park (Joypolis), and a lot of goo restaurants.

Views: (9/10)
The hotel has some great views. If you are lucky, you can get a hotel room that has a view of the Rainbow Bridge.
