Hyatt Regency Tokyo REVIEW MASTER THREAD
This hotel always impresses me. It's the "low cost" Hyatt property in Tokyo, but it seems very well managed.
I am arriving early morning into HND.
It allows them to sell a lot more "club access" rooms.
Maybe someone who has stayed recently will correct me, but I believe the standard King/Twin, King/Twin with View, and Corner Deluxe all still have the old style bathrooms. Last year we stayed in the Regency Executive Suite and it had definitely not been remodeled, while the year before we stayed in the Atrium Suite, which had been remodeled.

Check In
Check in was easy, they have a seperate WoH line but doesn't seem to be used unless very busy. Which it was not when we arrived.
We returned to the Hyatt Regency in Shinjuku for a 4 night stay, this time thanks to WoH I decided to book a base room and use Regency club access (1/4). Worked nicely and they even upgraded us to a deluxe view king or something like that. Room was very nice, no complaints there. Though for some reason they claim they won't wash towels every day but they do, and even if you hang up the provided Yukata they provide a new one each day.
We ate breakfast everday in the regency club, I find it to be a really nice club and more then filling enough to start each day. It's a nice and wide selection of food, from white rice to eggs, from sausages and bacon to fruit, many kinds of bread etc. If you only get to clubs in the USA this one is pretty impressive. We made it to cocktail hour once, they offer one of two courses in adition to the already set out food. We didn't try the options because as you can see below we used the resturants.
Dining
We ate dinner at the Jade Garden which we previously ate at for XMAS day, that first time was a special holiday dinner and I thought it vastly superior to the meal this time around. The food was still good, and I was satisfied. It's great to get to try some things I'll never have back home.
The next night we ate at Cuisine[s] Michel Troisgros, we also ate here prior and that was a preset menu for xmas eve. So this time there are quite a few options, they even have a shorter (and cheaper) option for hotel guests. We instead went with the 10 course option (omiting the caviar of the 11 course option) and the food was outstanding, just as good as last time we were here. As long as you don't mind the price tag and like french style food with a japanese twist you can't go wrong here.
This was the first course:
This is the cheese selection, it's massive.
Location
Since the hotel is above the tochomae station it's quite easy to find, we flew into haneda and took the monorail into town then took the subway right to tochomae and up the stairs.
It's a few mins walk from Shinjuku so you can easily get around Tokyo.
Also close by is a 7-11 so if you really want cheap options you can even find it here, I actually tried their sausage on a stick and it was really tasty, even provided me with a ketchup and mustard pack which my wife used on her fried chicken, when your jet legged and ate plenty sometimes the 7-11 is just the right place to go.
Overall
It's not the Park Hyatt, but it's got a lounge and good location and the resturants attached are all 100% non-smoking. I fully recomend it for anyone on a budget in Tokyo.
