MONday Apart Premium Hamamatsucho

Although both are 47.57 sqm, how many people can stay and where everyone sleeps at night are not quite the same. Both main room types have two 100×200 cm proper beds, with the rest using sofa beds or Japanese futons; when adults travel together, I would first allocate the beds, then look at the total number of people.

Grand Japanese: For Families Who Like a Low Table and Japanese Futons

Located on floors 2–5, for up to 6 people. Besides the two proper beds, there are two 85×195 cm sofa beds and two sets of 90×195 cm Japanese futons. For families travelling with children who want to leave the space for activities during the day and lay out the bedding at night, this type is worth looking at first; for six guests, also consider the walkways after the bedding is laid out.

Grand Family: First Note the Length of the Fifth Bed

Located on floors 6–9, for up to 5 people. The layout is two proper beds, two 85×195 cm sofa beds, and one more 85×180 cm sofa bed. Tall adults should not look only at ‘up to 5 people’; thinking through how the shorter bed is allocated first will make the stay more comfortable.

The 10th-Floor Partner Room: Another Option for Four Travelling Together

The official site also lists a 41.97 sqm partner room, the ‘まちがいさがしルーム’ (Spot-the-Difference Room), for up to 4 people. Besides the two 100×200 cm proper beds, there is one 85×195 cm sofa bed and one 85×180 cm sofa bed each. If you want to book this type, choose the full room name directly, and do not treat it as the same layout as the two 47.57 sqm types.

Self-Cooking, Laundry, and Bathing: Details You Will Use on a Longer Stay

Room facilities include an IH kitchen, a large refrigerator, a microwave, a rice cooker, cooking utensils and tableware, as well as a dining table and a washer-dryer. For people who will prepare a meal or two themselves and want to bring fewer clothes, these facilities matter more than just one extra bed. The table setting in the photos does not mean the hotel provides meals.

I would leave laundry until before it gets too late, so that everyone travelling together can take turns bathing and sorting clothes. If you need to iron or prepare a simple hot meal for children, you can also first look at the in-room facilities and avoid an extra trip to a public facility.

Guest Photos Inside the Rooms: See the Real Walkways and Light in Use

This set of real photos adds the route from the room door to the dining table, the low table, the bedside, and the washing machine beside the washbasin. Rather than looking only at one wide panorama, I would also check where you can still walk after the luggage is put down, then decide whether the number of people is just right.
