How would I choose?
If this Tokyo trip runs several nights, and you want to wash clothes before travelling on, or occasionally buy ingredients and cook a meal, I would look seriously at Oakwood Hotel & Apartments Azabu Tokyo. It puts a kitchen and in-room washer-dryer into the stay, and the Azabujuban area also offers eating-out and shopping choices, so the rhythm of life can feel more like your own.
When choosing a room, I would first think about two things: how much time each day will be spent in the room, and whether fellow travellers need to sleep separately. The difference between Studios, one-bedrooms, and multi-bedrooms is not only size, but also the positions of dining table, living room, luggage, and workspace. If you are here for Tokyo Tower, the view needs confirming in advance; do not equate a balcony with a guaranteed tower view.
- Long-stay highlights: In-room kitchen and washer-dryer, suited to fitting laundry and simple cooking into the itinerary.
- How to choose a room type: For one or two people, look at Studios and one-bedrooms first; for family travel, compare the multi-bedroom and tatami versions.
- Wanting a Tokyo Tower view: Ask about the chosen room type’s direction, floor, and obstructions; do not rely only on other people’s photos.
Arriving from Azabujuban Station: first separate the ground-level route from the in-station route
The address is 3-10-5 Higashi-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo.The hotel’s official information lists about a 3-minute walk from Azabujuban Station; when taking the subway, also count the time from platform to ground level, especially as the Oedo Line runs underground — do not estimate your departure time from ground distance alone.
With luggage, check the station lifts first: on the Namboku Line, go through the Azabujuban-side ticket gate toward the Exit 1 lift, while on the Oedo Line, watch for the ground-level lift on the 5a/5b side. Do not apply one line’s route to another line’s exit number.
If a fellow traveller needs a step-free route, ask the hotel before booking to explain the height difference from the ground-level lift to the entrance and how to enter. People needing an accessible room should also confirm the chosen room type’s bathroom, passages, and equipment directly, so the need truly matches the room.
From studios to three bedrooms: first decide how you want to use the room
For a short stay alone or as a pair, I would look at a Studio first: bed, desk, and kitchen all sit within one living scale, so reaching things, doing laundry, and preparing simple food are straightforward. With two suitcases, still think about the passage once they are opened; some guests find the space easy to use, while others find two large suitcases hard to open at the same time.
To separate sleeping from watching TV and eating, look more at one-bedrooms. The photos of the corner suite and the one-bedroom superior room below let you compare the living-room table and bedroom relationship; if fellow travellers keep different hours, this separated space is more worth considering.
For family or friends travelling together, look at two-bedrooms, two-bedrooms with tatami, and three-bedrooms. More bedrooms does not mean the guest count can be raised freely; before booking, confirm each person’s bed, whether an extra bed is added, and how bathrooms are used.
This table uses the sizes and guest counts currently listed officially; actual furniture and beds still follow the full room type you book. If bed width is the deciding factor, asking the hotel directly for specifications is more reassuring than guessing from the names King or Twin.
| Official room type | Official size and guest count | How I would compare |
|---|---|---|
| Studio Superior / King / Twin | 26 sqm, up to 2 guests | Compare bed types, desk space, and luggage passages. |
| Studio Deluxe King / Twin | 33 sqm; King up to 2 guests, Twin third-guest arrangements to be confirmed in advance | Worth a look for people wanting more space or separate beds. |
| 1 Bedroom Superior / Corner Suite | 54 / 56 sqm, up to 2 guests | Compare how the living-room table and bedroom are separated. |
| 2 Bedroom Superior / with Tatami | 80 sqm, up to 3 guests | Allocate bedrooms and beds first, then check the tatami version. |
| 3 Bedroom Superior | 106 sqm, up to 4 guests | For several guests travelling together, arrangements still follow the approved guest count and actual beds. |

Look at bathrooms separately; do not apply large-room equipment to every room
The gallery shows bathtubs, showers, washbasins, and different bathroom layouts. Some views separate the washing area from the bathing space, and some show the relative positions of toilet and bathtub; travelling with family, I would first think about whether morning use can be staggered.
If you care a lot about a separate shower, bathing, or bathroom passage space, check your own booked room type first. Bathroom photos of multi-bedroom rooms cannot be applied directly to a Studio, and accessibility needs should also be asked about item by item.

Kitchen and washer-dryer: putting the trip’s small tasks back in your own hands
The room has a kitchen, refrigerator, and washer-dryer, which is very practical here. Whether you want something simple in the morning, buy a few ingredients in the evening, or wash the last few days’ clothes, there is no need to find a shared laundry area to fit your own schedule.
The photos let you compare a one-bedroom’s open kitchen, a Studio’s laundry and sink area, and the cups, bowls, and drawer cutlery. If you plan to cook properly, I would first ask about pots, cooker operation, seasonings, and cleaning supplies; if you only want to heat something simple, the cooking steps can also be kept easy.
Before using the laundry equipment, read the machine instructions and confirm detergent, materials that can be dried, and the time needed. Handling a small batch of clothes each day you return is easier to arrange for a multi-day trip than washing a whole suitcase on the last night.

Guest photos: bedside, kitchen, and balcony views
Guest photos make clearer how furniture is actually used: bedding, bedside items, the kitchen passage, and the washer all help you picture where things go and how to tidy up each day you return. If you will spend a long time in the room, these circulation patterns are often more helpful than empty-room photos alone.
Tokyo Tower views are very appealing, but guest experiences differ: some saw the tower from the balcony, others met obstructions. The photos below are real shots of individual rooms; if seeing the tower is the focus of this trip, ask before booking about confirmable direction and view conditions, and do not treat a special request as a guaranteed arrangement.

Breakfast at UNI COFFEE on the first floor, or prepared in your own room
If you do not want to cook first thing in the morning, look at the first floor’s UNI COFFEE ROASTERY. The shop currently says 7:00–10:00 is a guest-only breakfast window, offering 4 breakfast choices and drinks; whether breakfast is included in your plan still depends on the booking details or on confirmation with the hotel.
The photos show Western plating, a Japanese meal tray, and the restaurant’s officially introduced Japanese breakfast example. They suit imagining the dining format, while the day’s dishes and available choices follow on-site supply; do not assume every stay brings the same meal as in the photos.
To eat on your own schedule, you can also prepare a simple breakfast in the room. If you must rush for a train in the morning, prepare ingredients and supplies the day before; if you want it slower, leave time to sit down with a coffee.

The coffee shop’s seats also suit slowing the pace down
The coffee shop is on the first floor, and its window and counter seats give the stay another corner to sit in. General coffee shop hours and guest breakfast are different time windows; if you want to come back for a drink in the evening, check the shop’s business information for that day first.
The shop describes a space combining records and music; if interested, you can ask on site about available seats and ways to experience it. I would treat it as a small break within the stay, then decide by my own itinerary whether to linger longer.

Reception and shared spaces: say what you need early
You can recognise the reception area from the photos first. If you need luggage storage, pet stays, or special equipment, telling the hotel everything before booking makes arrangements easier; pet-friendliness also has specific room types and conditions, so do not assume every room allows pets just from a facility name.
People wanting to work or exercise can ask further about how and when to use the shared work space and fitness area. In-room equipment already supports many daily needs, but each service’s actual arrangement is still worth confirming before arrival.

Short or long stays: first match housekeeping with each day’s itinerary
Even a one-night stay can use the apartment facilities, but if you are out early and back late every day, you may not use the kitchen and dining table much; over several nights, with some time left for living in Azabu, the convenience of laundry and shopping becomes clearer.
Before a long stay I would ask about housekeeping frequency and towel and rubbish replacement. A member breakfast or no-cleaning feedback a guest once mentioned may have been an individual arrangement at the time, and should not be assumed to apply now.
To visit Azabujuban, Tokyo Tower, or the Roppongi area, plan by that day’s energy; with older travellers, children, or large luggage, also leave time for in-station walking and rest back in the room. The comfort of apartment-style stays often comes from getting the itinerary just right.
- What I would value: Kitchen and in-room washer-dryer, so a multi-day trip does not keep needing outside facilities.
- Room-choice priorities: Bed types, bedroom count, and living areas, matched to fellow travellers’ routines and luggage.
- Trade-offs decided in advance: Tower views need confirmation, there is still walking inside the station, and housekeeping and breakfast follow the booking.
How to choose in the end
I would leave Oakwood Azabu for people who want a bit of everyday life in their Tokyo stay and are willing to use the kitchen and laundry equipment. Choosing the right bedroom and living layout first, then checking views, breakfast, and housekeeping arrangements, makes a comfortable stay easier than simply chasing size.
