Hotel Mystays Hamamatsucho: Haneda Airport Access, Daimon Lifts and Rooms
HOTEL MYSTAYS Hamamatsucho
Hamamatsucho and Daimon stations are both options, suitable for those traveling to or from Haneda and for short stays; first distinguish between the general exits and the elevators.

What would I choose?
If I’m flying in and out of Haneda Airport and planning to use Hamamatsucho as my base in Tokyo, I would include MYSTAYS Hamamatsucho Hotel in the comparison. Hamamatsucho’s convenient access to JR and monorail lines, along with the subway at Daimon Station, is a more definite advantage than room size.
I would recommend this hotel to people who travel light and spend a lot of time outdoors during the day. Guests often mention that the rooms are cramped. If two people have large suitcases or want to stay in the room for a long time, they should first check the space around the bed and the entrance. Don’t put the experience of using the room each day off last just because there are many train stations to choose from.
First look at the advantages and the aspects that need to be accepted.
What attracts me
- Hamamatsucho and Daimon are options to choose from depending on your travel schedule, while the demand for the Haneda Monorail is worth comparing.
- Guests often appreciate the assistance from the front desk and luggage storage, suggesting that it’s a good time to go out for a walk after arrival.
- You can schedule a walk in the direction of Zojoji Temple and Tokyo Tower, without having to take a bus for every part of the journey.
Think before booking
- The room is rather cramped, so we need to think carefully about how to unpack and store our two large suitcases.
- The exit of gate A2 usually has stairs, so if you have a large box, you can’t just chase the nearest exit.
- Experiences vary regarding the comfort of the bed and pillows and the speed of check-in processing; please explain if you require special assistance.
- When booking a room, make sure to distinguish between the Hamamatsucho Main Building and the branch buildings with the name Premier.
Location and Transportation: Check the exit first if you have luggage.
According to official reports, it’s about a 5-minute walk from the North Exit of JR Hamamatsucho Station and about a 2-minute walk from Exit A2 of Daimon Station. Those planning to connect to the Haneda Monorail should prioritize Hamamatsucho; for those taking the subway to the city center, consider Daimon Station in your route comparison.
If you’re bringing luggage, I’ll find another elevator route at Toei Daimon Station. A2 is a regular staircase exit, and guests have mentioned how difficult it is to carry large suitcases upstairs. The Toei Daimon Station floor plan shows A1, B4, and B5 above-ground elevators; choose the route that suits you best depending on whether you’re taking the Asakusa Line or the Oedo Line.
There’s still a bit of a walk to the hotel after exiting the station. If I need assistance with a stroller or wheelchair, I’ll ask about both the elevator exit and the hotel entrance beforehand to avoid just relying on the shortest route on the map. I also allow enough time for walking, buying tickets, and waiting at the airport, without trying to plan every segment of the trip too precisely.

What are the arrangements for the surrounding area?
If you’d like to plan a less rushed itinerary in this area, you could take a stroll towards Zojoji Temple and Tokyo Tower. Exploring the temples and streets during the day, or enjoying the lights after dinner, offers a different pace of travel compared to visiting large shopping districts.
You can prepare your daily meals and supplies near Hamamatsucho or Daimon, and buy water and snacks for the next day on your way back to your room. If your itinerary mainly involves other areas, please check the actual transportation options first; having multiple transportation options does not mean that you will not need to transfer at every destination.

Room type and space: First find a bed that suits you.
I’ll first distinguish between one bed and two beds, then check the smoking or non-smoking conditions. Trip.com’s room type catalog includes standard double rooms, superior king rooms, standard twin rooms, and deluxe twin rooms on the first floor. The photos and configurations are different, so you should check the full name when selecting a room.
If two people don’t want to share a bed, look at twin beds first; if one person is bringing a large suitcase, pay more attention to the arrangement of the foot of the bed, the door, and the table. Guests often feel that the room is small, but I treat it as a space to rest after going out, and don’t expect a lot of space to spread out shopping bags.
The image below retains the room type photos or the name of the traveler’s booking. Different room types, orientations, and non-smoking conditions are listed separately. If you want a specific bed type, floor, or accessible arrangement, it’s more reassuring to clearly select the conditions than just leaving your preferences.

In-house services and arrival arrangements
The official check-in time is 3:00 PM and check-out time is 11:00 AM. Some guests arrive early to leave their luggage before going out. If you need large items, overnight stays, or special storage, I will ask about the arrangements before leaving so that it will be easier to find them when you return.
The lobby has facilities for guests to use, including coffee and toiletries; however, the actual supply may vary. Please ask the front desk for anything you need, especially if you are traveling with elderly guests or using the hotel facilities for the first time. Explaining your needs in advance will make it easier to receive appropriate assistance.
Check-in was smooth for some, while others waited a long time. If I want to arrive late, early, or leave very early the next day, I will confirm the reception and luggage arrangements in advance, so that the advantage of convenient transportation can also extend to the arrival site.
How should breakfast be arranged?
I will arrange breakfast outside the hotel or buy simple food the night before, adjusting according to the departure time the next day. If you see a breakfast-included option, first check if the dining location and contents are the same as the Hamamatsucho main building, and don’t confuse it with the Premier branch.
Those who enjoy a full breakfast at a hotel should confirm this before booking. If you just want a coffee and snack before catching a train, staying near Hamamatsucho allows you to plan your breakfast and train route together.
I notice different things when I stay one night versus staying two nights in a row.
For a one-night stay, especially a transit point between Haneda and the airport, I prioritize the bed and transportation to ensure a smooth departure the next day. For a multi-night stay, I focus on the daily organization, cleaning, and towel changing arrangements, and clearly state my needs upon check-in.
Some guests felt the pillows were too firm and the rooms were small, while others appreciated the cleanliness and front desk service. Those with sensitive sleep habits should first inquire about available bedding and room conditions; for two people, the amount of space to unpack and move around should also be considered.
The most worthwhile preparation for large luggage is to replace the A2 staircase route with an elevator route that suits you. Walking a little more and carrying a large suitcase less often makes the arrival much more comfortable.
Finally, to whom would I recommend it?
I would recommend this to light travelers who need to get around Hamamatsucho and Daimon and are arriving or departing from Haneda Airport. If you want to visit Zojoji Temple and Tokyo Tower nearby, you can also take your time to explore them.
If both of you have a lot of luggage, want to have breakfast at the hotel, or plan to spend a long time in your room, clarify your space and dining needs beforehand. Choosing the right branch, bed type, and elevator exit is more helpful than just looking at the hotel brand name.
