Hotel Tokyo Garden Palace
Tokyo Garden Palace is an established Ochanomizu-area hotel with unusually varied rooms: compact 8 m² singles, 16–19 m² doubles and twins, plus larger Japanese and Japanese-Western configurations. Choosing the exact category matters more than the broad hotel label.
Location
The hotel is at 1-7-5 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0034, around 450 m or seven minutes on foot from JR Ochanomizu. JR and Tokyo Metro’s Marunouchi Line have separate accessible routes, so match the lift exit to the train you are taking.
Room types and sizes
The saved listings include an 8 m² economy single and a smoking single with a 113 cm bed, 16–17 m² double options, 19 m² superior twins, a Japanese-style room of about 28 m², a 32 m² luxury twin and a 38 m² Japanese-Western room. Smoking status, bed width and the actual guest limit differ by rate.

Facilities and guest feedback
Guests praise generous space in some categories, the baths, cleanliness and staff assistance. The hotel has a more traditional interior, and some reviews mention dated carpeting, air conditioning or traffic noise on road-facing rooms. I would choose the room position as carefully as the bed layout.
Breakfast
A buffet breakfast is listed daily from 07:00 to 09:30. Breakfast-inclusive and room-only rates should be compared; a morning with an early departure might leave little time to use it.
Nearby places
Ochanomizu, Hijiribashi, Akihabara and the university area can be combined into a walking-and-rail itinerary. The station is practical, but choosing the correct exit is important with luggage.
Short or longer stays
For one night, I would prioritize the station route and sleep quality. For several nights, a larger room, luggage space and a quiet orientation can justify more than the lowest 8 m² rate.
Pros and cons
- + Useful Ochanomizu and Akihabara access
- + Wide choice of sizes and Japanese-style rooms
- + Buffet breakfast and staff assistance
- – Some rooms are only 8–12 m²
- – Older furniture, carpeting and occasional road noise
- – Different JR and Metro station lift routes
Final choice
Choose Tokyo Garden Palace when its Ochanomizu location and a suitable room type fit the itinerary. A larger room may be more practical than the cheapest single; check breakfast inclusion and room orientation before booking.
