Gekko Observatory

For my first time in Tokyo & coming from North America I really enjoyed Grand MONday Resort, it weirdly felt like home. Latin-themed decor when I was there & the staff were friendly as well as the rooms decently spacious for Tokyo hotels (you will find many that are approx 100 sq ft at other popular hotels, these rooms are 3-5x that size which feels more North American). I would suggest on Expedia that the hotel do ADD the choice to add “pool usage” even for a fee as the only add-on I saw with my room on here was to “add breakfast”. It wasn’t until I arrived in Tokyo that I found out pool access would be an extra approx $40/day & that is an unpleasant surprise considering how far from any part of the city the hotel is.

This was our second time staying here, and we thought the hotel itself was fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly, the room was clean, and there were plenty of amenities for a family with children. The location is also excellent. We loved the convenience of using access codes for the elevators and our room instead of keeping track of physical keys. Additionally, having a large washer and dryer was incredibly helpful for a family enjoying the summer. If we had to offer one piece of feedback, it would be nice to have small reading lights by the beds.

We loved this place for our family of 4 adults traveling from the USA. It was spotless and the room made great use of the space so we did not feel crowded. Clean and modern room, hotel and lobby. Perfect location in Akasaka, easy to find, close to train station, safe and away from crowds and street noise, but convenient to shops, dining and sights. The staff was helpful and polite and they stored our luggage upon departure and arrival. Highly recommend.
