Switched rooms to a King room, smoking, but got put on the noisy train side of the hotel and of course a much smaller room. I didn't complain because I was lucky to get the room at the last moment.
Hotels I'm pondering are:
Conrad
Shangra-La
Grand Hyatt
Park Hyatt
The Strings
Or?
Any suggestions for rooms under $650-ish USD/night? Hoping for something ideally located to the major train stations as I have many friends that will be coming/going to visit with. Would like to stay at a different hotel than the Strings just to change it up a bit. It was a fine hotel. Loved it there for access to everything.
Appreciate any help for this situation.
Japan is still behind the worldwide curve on the "ban smoking" kick, so I'm pretty sure that it's still harder to get non-smoking rooms than smoking ones. I don't think that you should really have a problem with any of them. Location would be a bigger limiting factor than availability of smoking room (ruling out Park Hyatt in your case)
