The 105-room Hotel My Stays Hamamatsu is a simple chain hotel near convenient transport links and several attractions in Tokyo's Minato neighborhood. It's a six-minute walk to Hamamatsucho Station, and works well for business travelers and tourists alike. Rooms are modern and have good amenities, including kettles, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms. Some rooms have views of the Tokyo Tower, which is only a 15-minute walk away. Perks are limited -- while free Wi-Fi is available and there's coffee in the lobby, there's little else beyond vending machines. This is an ideal base for business or sightseeing near Shinbashi, but guests looking for similar accommodations in the Koto district might prefer the Sotetsu Fresa Inn.

Scene
Pleasantly modern chain hotel with no frills that's best for an overnight recharge
Located in Minato's business district, near Shinbashi and surrounded by offices, this hotel is convenient for business travelers, but its proximity to Hamamatsucho Station could also suit tourists wanting to explore the city. The building itself is a tall, thin tower block located on a busy main road. Guests should expect a relatively lively atmosphere with people coming and going regularly, though traffic noise inside is a rare complaint from previous guests. The lobby area is clean and uncluttered, with sharp black-and-white photos that help make a sober, modern first impression. The hotel has an industrial interior, with exposed iron beams and piping in the stairwell, and rooms surrounding a small central atrium. There's little reason to hang out at the hotel during the day, as it has zero common areas or frills. Instead, it's best used as a clean, up-to-date place to sleep at night.
Location
Located in the Minato district, near Hamamatsucho Station
With its location in the Minato neighborhood, this hotel is convenient for exploring the city, especially as it's only a six-minute walk from Hamamatsucho Station. It sits on on Daiichikeihin Street, a busy main road, with several office blocks nearby, and it's not the kind of neighborhood that's packed with local residents. For those looking to explore the city’s cultural sights, Zojo-ji Temple and the Zojo-ji Treasures Gallery are a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel’s location makes it perfect for reaching Hamarikyu Gardens, with its large ponds and beautiful landscaping, which are only 12 minutes away on foot. Tokyo Tower, which can be seen from some of the hotel’s rooms, is a 15-minute walk away, or seven minutes by taxi. The Imperial Palace, at the center of Kitanomaru Park, is an 10-minute drive away, while Oedo Onsen Monogatari hot springs are an 18-minute drive away. There is no on-site restaurant at the hotel, but there are local convenience stores nearby, and Chinese or barbecue restaurants on the same block. The hotel is at least 25 minutes by car or monorail from Haneda Airport, and an 80-minute drive or 90-minute train ride from Narita Airport.
Rooms
Simple and modern, with flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning, some featuring Tokyo Tower views
The cozy rooms at Hotel MyStays Hamamatsucho are pleasantly modern, kitted out in a neutral brown and beige palette, with twin or double beds and patterned feature wallpaper. Accents in the soft furnishings include brown bed runners and red pillows, which look sharp alongside the dark wood-veneer furniture. Standard Rooms are quite small and narrow, at just 14 square meters (151 square feet), and are likely most suitable for single travelers. Superior Queen Rooms are more spacious, at 16 square meters (172 square feet), and feature backlit headboards and a larger desk areas. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, speakers, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, kettles, mini-fridges, electronic safes, phones, and trouser presses. The memory foam pillows are a nice comfort-adding touch. Some rooms have views overlooking Tokyo Tower, but most face other buildings. En-suite bathrooms have basic facilities including a small shower/tub combos, Japanese-style toilet, and sink. They do look a little dated compared to the main body of the room. Toiletries, pajamas, and slippers are provided. Smoking rooms are available.
Features
Almost no additional perks beyond vending machines and free coffee
Like most value options in Tokyo, features here are extremely limited. One highlight is free Lavazza coffee available throughout the day from a machine in the lobby. A collection of toiletries, including makeup remover and moisturizer, are also available from a chest of drawers near reception. Newspapers can be bought from the lobby and on-site parking is available, but must be reserved in advance. A small interior courtyard with patio seating serves as a smoking area. Vending machines and an ice machine are also available. There is no restaurant or kitchen on-site, but there is a selection of convenience stores and restaurants nearby.
