A number of guests have complimented the hotel's cleanliness and the stunning views from well-maintained rooms, while opinions on service vary, with reports of both friendly staff and some unprofessionalism. Its central location is popular, even if a few find it slightly off the beaten path for certain attractions.
Although the amenities, including the breakfast, are generally applauded, the desire for fresh decor and more variety has been noted. Room value is recognized, but the voucher system has met with some criticism.

My husband and I stayed here during Christmas. The hotel itself is situated in a very handy location with the trains just below and a 5 mins walk away. There were also shopping centers filled with restaurants and a convenience store all near the hotel, again 5 or so mins walk away. We managed to see a lot of Tokyo so it was very handy to have the trains so close to the hotel.
The room itself was ok sized, we opted for the moderate room. Definitely a great choice as the other rooms are a tad smaller then the one we had, it was spacious enough to hold two large suitcases. The bed was comfy and large enough for 2 people. The bathroom was ok, although needed revamping but was still clean. The toilet was separate to the bathroom, had to move from the bathroom to the toilet but didn't mind. The toilet was clean and Japanese design. The staff at the hotel were uber friendly. We only had one grumpy staff member upon checking in but for the rest of the time there everyone else was so friendly and helpful, when we needed help with directions or general questions.
The only thing we struggled with the hotel is room service. At times when we've had a long day exploring and walking we just wanted the treat and luxury of room service. Although we had restaurants nearby, many, sometimes when it was cold we just wanted to stay in our rooms in the evening.
Haneda airport is only 30mins train ride away, and only one line from the hotel, we used this both ways when using the hotel. It was very convenient and cost effective as the taxis are expensive and shuttles take a long time as they need to stop at different hotels.
As most reviews have said, this hotel is a great location and very convenient with plentiful of restaurants nearby.

Generally hotel rooms are small in Tokyo. For a family of 3 travelling we stayed at the Deluxe King which offered a true king size bed and a sofa bed. There were plenty of closet space and drawer space for stuff as we were there for 5 nights. The bathroom is also very spacious so getting ready to go out in the morning was much more efficient. We could see the Tokyo Tower from our room and the city lights at night was an added bonus giving you a sense of the vibrant city. One of the major plus is its convenient location. There is a direct underpass to the Shimbashi metro hub and Shiodome station. This gives easy access to almost everywhere in Tokyo. It is also a short walk to Ginza. There are loads of restaurants within easy reach of a short walk. It was also super convenient to get to Narita airport. There is a train on Asakusa line (from Shimbashi station) directly to Narita airport. Check with concierge for the timetable. The ride is slightly over 1 hour and cost just 1000+yen. This was the perfect hotel and we loved their happy hour at lobby lounge.

The hotel is located above train stations and in between walking area of Ginza shopping district and Tsukiji Market, a lot of restaurants in hotel basement area. We stay at the corner room for 3 adults, room are very clean, organized, separate room for toilet beside the shower area with complete basic amenities, good wifi connection and etc. The whole surrounding areas of the hotel are very quiet, day and night.

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in November. The hotel is EXTREMELY centrally located and has easy access to almost all major train lines in the city (< 5-8 minute walk). The walk is completely covered, so in inclement weather, you are able to easily remain dry.
You enter the hotel from the ground floor (obviously) and have to wait for one of (three or four) elevators to get to the lobby level. The elevators are relatively efficient but sometimes there can be small wait (a few minutes) and this got old to me pretty quickly.
The "lobby" level of the hotel has a bar and a restaurant, with some absolutely amazing views.
Check-in was relatively painless and efficient. Front desk/lobby were pleasant but not overly helpful. Surprisingly, I didn't really receive any offers to be assisted with my luggage which I found surprising for a hotel of this "caliber". Not a big deal, but it set the tone for the general service level of the hotel (which is fine).
There are apparently a few different layouts of rooms in this hotel, and it's not clear from their website on which is which. They were actually able to show me a chart in the hotel which had the different floorplans of the rooms clarified.
I had booked a "moderate" room which had a slight view of the city, but mostly looked at an adjacent office building (which seemed to have people in it 24/7, meaning you need to keep the shades drawn).
I selected this room type because it was supposed to be slightly larger than some of the other rooms, but the way the room was laid out was a little disappointing. There was almost no usable storage space, there was a small, separate room for the toilet (no sink), and then another area with the sink + shower. The bathroom area had almost a motel-esque feel to it due to the layout.
The room itself, despite being a decent size, felt cramped with unneeded furniture. There was a desk (stationary, I think) placed in front of the tv, along with a chair. There was very little room to navigate around either one and I found them both to be a nuisance and think the room would actually do better without them, space wise. I understand that a lot of/most rooms in Tokyo are on the smaller side, and while this room was larger than usual, the layout/configuration doesn't make use of the space very well. I would stay here again if I had to, but would also explore other options.

The Royal Park Hotel Shiodome, I believed was an excellent hotel. I stayed between December 27, 2019 to January 8th 2020. This opinion was mostly driven by it's location, which is located at a major metro hub, Shimbashi station. Shimbashi station, you can hop on any train and get anywhere in Tokyo. There were multiple local food places around outside the hotel, it was a very convenient location. I found the staff to be helpful and attentive, I had a package delivered to me that didn't have my name on it, but I was able to retrieve from the hotel front desk with no issues. The breakfast at the hotel was great, had a good selection to choose from. The hotel room, I went with a Moderate size room, the room I found was rather big for Japanese standards. Had plenty of room to maneuver my luggage and space to walk around. Housekeeping I found was good, especially in concerns with laundry. The decor for the room is slightly outdated and I feel should be updated.
Even though I found the hotel to be great, I will probably not be staying there again for my next visit to Japan. Unfortunately, it seems my room had Bed Bugs, which has soured my opinion. Even worse, it seems I have brought a couple of hitchhikers back to my house as I keep waking up with bite marks. I have already spent about a $1000.00 in dealing with it, I am hopeful because of how early I started dealing with the problem, that I will not have to spend anymore and the pest is dealt with from the latest treatment.

We stayed here because of its location: steps from train station, beautiful Japanese garden, and the Tokyo Bay cruise. The staff could not have been more helpful. The amenities were great. We didn't eat in the restaurants, but had a drink in front of the window facing Tokyo Bay. Incredible views. There is also shopping and restaurants within steps of the hotel. It was clean, quiet and the beds were wonderful. We stayed 2 nights before our trip to Osaka and Kyoto. For a reasonable fee, they shipped our luggage ahead to our next hotel so we could enjoy the bullet train without having to haul luggage about. We would stay here again!

We stayed for 2 weeks in a junior suite with two kids. The room was large by Tokyo standards with a comfortable sofa seating area, desk/dining area, window seat and two beds. Additionally there was a coffee machine, kettle, microwave and mini fridge along with iron, ironing board, safe, hairdryer etc. and plenty of storage. The room had fantastic views across the city towards Tokyo Skytree and to Hamarikyu Gardens on another side. The bathroom was large with the same amazing views and included separate washlet toilet and wet room with a full sized bath and decent shower. The complementary facial products were good quality, and the amenities also included hairbrush, toothbrush etc. The room was very clean and comfortable and there was virtually no noise from other rooms or the corridor though some street noise such as sirens could be heard.
The staff were friendly and we were grateful that they let us check in a bit early, as we were very jet lagged. They helped me to order a cake for my child’s birthday and had it sent up to the room for us at a time that suited.
The hotel is situated in very close to Shimbashi station and has shops and restaurants located in the surrounding Shiodome Sio Site area. It is also very close to Shiodome station which gives you easy access to Odaiba. Studio Ghibli fans should check out the clock just outside the hotel which plays twice a day.
We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely return to this hotel.

I would give it Excellent rating however rooms were very tiny. Hotel is kind of hard to find as it is located in a business building and you need to take an elevator to find the front desk. Hotel staff excellent -as everywhere in Japan service is outstanding! Rooms and bathrooms rather on a very small side, breakfast buffet was nice and had western menu items. I would say topical 4* experience

Nice location, excellent service, gym, members club level and rooftop bar of one of the tallest building around. So why only 3 stars? Simply the decor and facility. I stayed on two levels, club 60 and "regular floor" 53. The club-level room was nicer, with automated curtains, etc, but still felt dated, especially the washroom. This persisted in the normal floor - a dated washroom and bed. My mattress in both felt a little worn. Nothing too egregious, and certainly the staff and facilities were well kept. Simply, old.
