Upscale hotel w/ english speaking staff.
Great location in the Ginza district. You can goout and walk to all the major shopping areas. Close to rail transportation. I even went for an jog around the Imperial Palace, about 45 min run.
Its got the push button spray toilet which I had never seen before.

We were only staying for one night in Tokyo, we had large amounts of luggage, and this was our first trip to Asia. So we needed something easy.

Which is pretty much what we got - having missed the instructions for the hotel buses leaving from narita airport, we caught the train into the central Tokyo. From there we went one stop on the tube (subway) to Ginza. You can go to Ginza Itchome which is directly under the hotel, but for ease, the hotel is still walking distance from Ginza. Once in Ginza station, make a note of how the blocks are numbered on the maps outside the turnstiles. I think on the same map there it also shows where the Mercure Ginza is located. Exit out of A13 which is about a 5 minute walk from where you come out of the turnstiles.

As for the hotel itself, the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the bathroom quite spacious. It contains all of the mod-cons (including those famous Japanese toilets with bidet etc on it). Bathrobes and slippers are also provided.

The international paper written in English dropped outside our room was a nice touch - at least the staff pay attention.

All in all, this is a simple hotel - good for a place to lay your head. We found it relatively easy to get to Haneda airport from there as well.

We stayed at this hotel three times when we were in Japan because we had our flight to Tokyo, then we were in the North, then Tokyo, then Kyoto and Hiroshima and at last back to Tokyo.

The staff were great. Always smiling and very helpful.

When we arrived, jet-lagged, didn't know if we were eating breakfast, lunch or dinner, we went to the restaurant to eat. I ate salmon. It was the best fish-dinner I have ever had! The breakfast was in the same restaurant. It was buffet-style and there were choices between Japanese or Western breakfast.

The hotel is in the middle of the shopping-district. FANTASTIC!

When we went to Kyoto and Hiroshima the staff were very kind to collect one of our suitcases.

I can not recommend this hotel highly enough!

You can't go wrong in this hotel. We were so pleasantly surprised with its boutique atmosphere, neat stylish rooms and surprisingly spacious bathrooms.
