What would I choose?
If you’re heading to Haneda the next day, or planning your Tokyo itinerary using JR and subway lines, Villa Fontaine Tokyo Hamamatsucho is a practical and comparable accommodation. Located in Shiba 1-chome, it’s a bit of a walk from the Hamamatsucho South Exit; once you return to the hotel, the process is straightforward: room, shower, and breakfast for the next day.
The most noteworthy aspect to compare is the bed type: the standard twin and double rooms are both 16 square meters, while the superior twin room is 20 square meters, and the beds are noticeably wider. Breakfast includes soup from Soup Stock Tokyo, an easily understandable plus for those who want a hot meal before heading out.
What attracts me
- Hamamatsucho, Daimon, Shiba Park, and Hinode are all within walking distance; you can choose a route according to your itinerary.
- The premium twin bed is 120 cm wide, a clear difference from the standard twin bed’s 90 cm width.
- Breakfast includes daily changes of soups, bread, and egg dishes, and you can sit down and have a meal in the morning.
Think it over before you order.
- It’s not right outside the station; allow extra time for dragging your luggage and finding your way around for the first time.
- A standard twin bed is 90 cm wide. People who prefer a wider bed should consider a more upscale twin bed or a bunk bed option.
- The view and level of quietness outside the window vary from room to room, and it is not appropriate to use guests’ photos as a guarantee of the view.
It’s about a 7-minute walk from the south exit of Hamamatsucho; this part of the walk is also included in the airport itinerary.
The hotel is located at 1-6-5 Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo. According to the official website, it’s about a 7-minute walk from the south exit of JR/Tokyo Monorail Hamamatsucho Station, about an 8-minute walk from Exit A1 of Daimon Station, about an 8-minute walk from Exit A1 of Shiba Park Station, and about a 9-minute walk from the west exit of Hinode Station. This is a general walking distance reference; please allow extra time for luggage and waiting at traffic lights.
Guests shared their experiences walking back to the hotel from the South Exit via the green walkway in the Blue Front Shibaura area; the photos below provide a glimpse into the atmosphere along the way. However, if you require a walk without stairs, you shouldn’t just rely on the walking photos to choose your route; you should first check the elevators inside the station, the ground-level paths, and the hotel entrance.
If you are taking the main exit, the official 3D map shows that A1, B4, and B5 have ground-level elevators, A2 is a regular staircase exit, and B3 has a closed sign; however, the actual route may vary depending on the line you are taking. When catching an early morning flight, please include check-out time, walking to the station, waiting time, and transfer time in your calculations, and don’t just look at the time shown on the train.
A 16-square-meter double room with a 140-centimeter wide bed.
The website lists the double room as 16 square meters, with a 140 x 210 cm bed, accommodating a maximum of two people. Solo travelers can have more personal space, while couples traveling together will need to consider the bed width and the placement of large suitcases. The room isn’t particularly spacious, but the furniture and hallway layout are quite straightforward.
The photos show the distance between the bed, the desk, and the window. If you’re mainly out and about during the day, and then return to your room to organize photos, charge your devices, and rest on the desk, this arrangement is very practical. However, if you plan to leave your two large suitcases out for an extended period, you should carefully compare the upgrade price differences.
When selecting a room, please carefully check for signs indicating no-smoking, smoking, or e-cigarette-only options, and don’t just look at the words "double room." Those sensitive to odors will feel more at ease confirming the room type they booked.
A standard twin bed is also 16 square meters, with each bed being 90 centimeters wide.
The standard twin room and double room are both 16 square meters. The bed set has been changed to two 90 × 200 cm beds, accommodating a maximum of two people. It’s clear that friends can sleep in separate beds, but the bed width is on the narrower side. Those who are used to larger beds should keep this in mind.
Guests’ photos show what their luggage and the foot of the bed looked like after checking in. Some travelers felt the space was sufficient, while others thought the room was a bit small and that it was a bit of a walk to the station; these feelings are often related to the amount of luggage, the number of people traveling together, and the daily walking schedule.
Superior twin beds, 20 square meters, each bed 120 centimeters wide.
The premium twin room is 20 square meters, with each bed measuring 120 x 210 centimeters. The official website lists it as accommodating a maximum of two people. Compared to the standard twin room, it offers not only more space but also wider beds. If I’m staying for several nights or want more freedom of movement while sleeping, I would prioritize this type when comparing prices.
Photos from different angles clearly show the bed, tables and chairs, entrance, and storage areas, making it easier to imagine where to put your luggage. The bathroom is still an integrated setup, with the sink, toilet, and bathtub all in one place; those who prefer a spacious bathroom should also look at the photos before booking, rather than just looking at the room size.
If you want a wide bed, you can also check out the 180cm Hollywood-style double bed solution.
The hotel also has an official description of its King Hollywood Style bunk bed room, which features two Simmons beds placed side by side to create a sleeping surface with a total width of 180 cm. This bunk bed configuration differs from a single 140 cm double bed or two separate standard twin beds.
When placing your order, please confirm the bed type, actual number of guests, and co-sleeping rules on the booking page. Especially for those traveling with children, do not increase the number of guests simply because the bed is wider; room size and other configurations should also be based on your specific needs.
Let’s take a look at the space we use every day, through real photos of the entrance and bathroom.
The guest photos show the actual appearance of the door, coat rack, bedside area, and bathroom, which can be viewed together with the room floor plan. Many reviews praised the cleanliness, hot water, and helpful staff, while others mentioned the limited view from the window; I would use this place as a rest stop and transportation hub, rather than staying here specifically for the view.
Some guests have found the area near the tracks to be quiet, but this is a specific stay experience and may not represent the sound experience of every room. Please inform the hotel in advance of any specific requirements regarding sound, lighting, or room location, while also respecting the flexibility that arrangements may vary.
Soup Stock Tokyo serves soup with bread; you can start eating as early as 6:30 PM.
Breakfast is served buffet style. The official website lists two types of Soup Stock Tokyo daily, along with bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, ham, salad, fruit, yogurt, and drinks. The soups and some dishes rotate, so the flavors shown in the photos do not represent the same every day.
The official hours are 6:30 to 9:30, and the price is 1,540 yen per person, including tax. You can compare the total price including breakfast when booking; if you want to purchase additional tickets on-site, please confirm the purchase method and arrangements with the counter. Children’s fees should also be clarified separately according to their actual age.
The photo gallery includes pictures of the meals and photos of guests actually picking up their meals, showing what a typical meal would look like. Some guests thought the soup was very special, while others felt that such a rich soup was too heavy for breakfast; those who prefer a lighter taste can choose a combination that suits their preference based on the meals served that day.
Check-in is at 3 PM and check-out is at 11 AM. Please take toiletries and borrowing items as needed.
Check-in time is generally 3:00 PM and check-out time is 11:00 AM. Guests mentioned that check-in can be done via machine, and staff are available to assist with any unfamiliar steps. For extended stays, it’s best to ask about cleaning, towel replacement, and garbage disposal upon arrival to avoid guessing every day.
The official website states that the self-service amenities area offers small bags of Sekkisei skincare products and ReFa hair care products for loan, but quantities are limited, so please inquire at the counter if you wish to use them. These small items are convenient for traveling light, but don’t assume that the limited loan quantity means you can borrow them every night.
Basic room amenities include a refrigerator, electric kettle, and air purifier/humidifier; primarily catering to sleeping, showering, and packing needs. If you have specific needs for certain amenities, it’s best to confirm the actual room configuration with the hotel before departure.
Allow some time for a leisurely stroll towards Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple.
If you’d like to add some greenery to your itinerary, consider taking a walk towards Shiba Park, Zojoji Temple, and Tokyo Tower. The photos below are what guests saw while walking around the area; they are not from hotel facilities and do not represent the same views from your room window.
The hotel is a bit far from the main road, and while there are supply options nearby, it’s not like there’s a large shopping mall right outside the door. If you’ll be returning late at night, it’s easier to buy drinks and other small items on your way back from the station.
If you want to explore the bay area, you can also include the Yurikamome Line at Hinode Station in your itinerary; the destination and transfers will still depend on the route you take that day, so you don’t have to exhaust yourself just to find a walking route.
Suitable for people who value transportation, bed type, and hot breakfast more than the room view.
I would recommend this to travelers heading to Haneda the next day, taking the train, or wanting to stay in the Hamamatsucho pedestrian area. For solo travelers and couples, consider a 140cm double bed. If you’re traveling with friends and sleeping separately, first assess the 90cm width of a standard twin bed. For more comfort, compare a 20 square meter deluxe twin bed.
Its advantages are easy to understand: you can come back to rest, have a bowl of soup and some bread in the morning, and then take your luggage to the station. Once you’ve thought about the walking time, bed type, and total price including breakfast, it’s easier to choose a place that suits your needs.
