How Would I Choose?
First, check the date: the hotel has announced it will close on 17 December 2026. If you have already booked a stay after 17 December, please follow the official closure notice to contact the hotel and your booking platform; do not assume that date is still bookable just because the platform still shows the listing.
If your trip is before the closure, I would put Hotel Rilassare Tokyo on the comparison list for the Hamamatsucho area. The location gives access to JR, the Tokyo Monorail and Daimon Station, the rooms have a simple wooden style, and it suits sightseeing outings, work, or a short stay before or after the airport; before choosing, the most important point is that single rooms are very compact, and only double and twin types have bathtubs.
Access: Hamamatsucho South Exit and Daimon Station Are Both Usable
The address is 2-7-10 Hamamatsucho, Minato-ku.The official access page lists about a 4-minute walk from the JR Hamamatsucho Station South Exit via the World Trade Center direction, and about 5 minutes from Daimon Station exits A1 or B4; a general walking guide is not the same as the time for every lift route. For an airport trip, first compare the Tokyo Monorail from Hamamatsucho, or choose the Daimon direction according to that day’s transport.

If you carry luggage or a stroller, or have mobility needs, first check the JR Hamamatsucho Station layout map and the Daimon Station facilities information. The route from the JR platforms to the South Exit, the monorail transfer and the ground-level exits must be followed as laid out on site; do not treat the intuitive shortcut from the North Exit as a full lift route for the whole journey, and confirm the route from outside the station to the hotel entrance separately.
The official site lists check-in at 13:30 and check-out at 11:00, and you can ask about leaving luggage if you arrive early. The official information says the entrance is locked from 00:00 to 06:00; if you arrive late at night, be sure to confirm how to enter first. Some guests say the small entrance is easy to walk past, so saving the hotel name and location before arrival will make it easier to find.
Six Room Types: Single Shower Rooms and Double Bathtub Rooms Must Be Picked Separately
According to the official rooms page, there are three versions of single rooms, and double rooms also come in standard and Comfort versions. Do not go by the word “Comfort” alone; if you want to use a computer in the room, share a bed as two people, or need a bath, compare the named room types directly.
| Room type | Area / beds and occupancy | Bathroom and how to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Compact Single | 9.41–9.99 sqm / one 120 cm bed; 1 person | Shower, no bathtub; desk layout differs from other room types |
| Standard Single | 9.39–10.54 sqm / one 120 cm bed; 1 person | Shower, no bathtub; compare first for solo travel and short stays |
| Comfort Single | 10.82 sqm / one 120 cm bed; up to 2 people | Shower, no bathtub; two people sharing a bed need to accept the compact size |
| Double | 14.42 sqm / one 160 cm bed; 2 people | Unit bathroom with bathtub |
| Comfort Double | 19.42 sqm / one 160 cm bed; 2 people | For those who want more room to move around in the room |
| Twin | 20.53–22.68 sqm / two 110 cm beds; 2 people | For separate beds, sorting luggage, or taking a bath |

Both with 120 cm beds, the Compact and Standard are roughly around ten square metres, so luggage and in-room movement space are limited. A Comfort Single that sleeps two people does not become a spacious double room; for two adults with large suitcases, I would first compare double and twin versions of 14.42 sqm or more.

Single-room photos show a shower setup, while the official FAQ lists unit bathtubs for double and twin types. If you want a bath every day, choose the corresponding room type; if you need specific grab rails, an entrance step height, or a shower seat, check with the hotel first, and do not assume from one photo that the whole hotel is the same.
Some guests praise the cleanliness, new facilities and reception, while others report pillows that did not suit them, a cold window side, or cleaning details that were not ideal. If you are particularly sensitive about pillows or temperature, I would first ask about borrowable items and what can be adjusted; after check-in, look at the room condition first, raise any problem early, and do not generalise a few experiences into a guarantee or a flaw for every room.
Breakfast Outside the Hotel: Japanese or Western Set Meals at Yuyakegaoka Shokudo
According to the The official FAQ says the breakfast venue is Yuyakegaoka Shokudo, about 50 metres from the hotel, where you can choose a Japanese or Western set meal; at check-in you can ask about switching to a breakfast-included plan, currently listed on the official site at 1,800 yen per person. Confirm the actual meal times, menu and whether breakfast is included in your room rate against your own booking and the on-site information.

The above is an official Japanese breakfast example, not a guest’s plate on a given day, and it does not mean the menu is exactly the same every day. You need to walk out of the hotel for breakfast, so on rainy or cold days, or when travelling with small children, planning coats, rain gear and meal times together will make things more relaxed.
If you stay just one night and want to eat before heading to the airport, I would first confirm that the breakfast start time fits your train schedule; for several nights in a row, you can eat a set meal one day and look for a favourite café outside the next. If you need vegetarian, vegan, halal or allergen arrangements, ask the restaurant directly whether it can accommodate them; do not treat a platform label as certification or guaranteed supply.
Lobby, Laundry and Amenities: Living Arrangements in a Small Space

According to the The official facilities page lists a lounge area, coffee and tea, and an amenities bar on the 1st floor, and a laundry room on the 2nd floor with washer-dryer equipment, a shared microwave and ironing supplies. The laundry room is currently listed as available 24 hours; fees and operation follow the on-site instructions, and cleaning, towel replenishment and long-stay needs should also be asked about first.
Guests often mention the convenience of lobby drinks and items available to take; borrowed chargers, different pillows and irons are still limited in number, so bring important items yourself. The official information lists the whole hotel, including e-cigarettes, as non-smoking, with no smoking area inside; if you need to smoke, check a suitable place first, and do not smoke casually in rooms or at the entrance.
For just one night, the closeness to the station and the earlier check-in start time are easy advantages; for two or three nights, weigh the roughly ten-square-metre single-room space together with laundry and work needs. If you want to sit in the room for a long time every day, a larger double or twin room is more worth comparing.
Around Hamamatsucho: Dining and Slow Minato Walks, Combined at Leisure
Around Hamamatsucho and Daimon there are restaurants and convenience stores, and guests often praise how easy it is to find food. If you want to visit Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens, Shiba Park or Tokyo Tower, you can string Minato-area plans into one day according to the weather and your energy; do not cram all the walking into your arrival evening just because the map looks close.
For a one-night short stay, I would prioritise dinner and the next day’s airport route; for two or three nights, spend one day walking and one day going out by JR or subway, coming back later to do laundry and rest. This kind of short-stay plan only applies to dates when the hotel is still operating and your booking is confirmed.
Advantages and Trade-offs: Put Date, Space and Bathtub in Order First
- Worth expecting: Hamamatsucho South Exit and Daimon Station are usable, making short stays before or after the airport easy to arrange.
- Worth expecting: official room areas, bed widths and bathroom differences are clear, so you can choose by need.
- Worth expecting: lobby drinks, the amenities bar and the laundry room give daily-life details more flexibility.
- Think first: the hotel closes on 17 December 2026; bookings from that date onward need to be checked and handled proactively.
- Think first: many single rooms are about ten square metres, so two people or lots of luggage need careful choosing.
- Think first: single rooms have no bathtub, breakfast requires walking to the restaurant outside the hotel, and special diets need separate enquiry.
How to Decide in the End?
If your trip is before the closure and your booking is confirmed, I would recommend Hotel Rilassare Tokyo to people who value the Hamamatsucho location and can accept a compact single room; two people wanting a more relaxed stay should compare the Double or Twin, and also confirm whether a bathtub is needed. If your dates are 17 December 2026 or later, first deal with the closure and alternative accommodation arrangements; this article’s room introduction cannot be taken as a guarantee that you can still stay.
