Know before you book
- Akasaka has three stations of its own. Akasaka is on the Chiyoda line; Akasaka-mitsuke is on the Ginza and Marunouchi lines and linked underground to Nagatacho (Hanzomon, Yurakucho and Namboku lines); Tameike-sanno is on the Ginza and Namboku lines and linked underground to Kokkai-gijidomae (Chiyoda and Marunouchi lines). Hotel listings give an exit number — note it, because these stations sprawl.
- The Ginza line through Akasaka-mitsuke and Tameike-sanno runs straight to Shibuya one way and to Ginza and Asakusa the other, so most first-trip sights are one train away.
- Akasaka itself is a restaurant and office district that stays lively in the evening. Nagatacho and Kasumigaseki next door are where parliament and the ministries sit, and they go very quiet after dark. Hie Shrine sits on the hill between them.
- Two of the 19 hotels that qualified have a communal bath: APA Hotel Pride Akasaka Kokkaigijido-mae has the only open-air bath, on its top floor, and Super Hotel Premier Akasaka the only high-concentration carbonated-spring bath. Both are nude, Japanese-style baths, and tattoo rules are not published.
- Check the last check-in time if you land late. APA Hotel Pride and Akasaka Urban Hotel Annex take arrivals until 5:00 a.m.; Super Hotel Premier Akasaka stops at midnight and Toyoko Inn at 22:00.
- Prices here are per person with breakfast, for two sharing. Saturdays can cost far more than Wednesdays: at Hotel New Otani the top of the range goes from ¥47,000 to ¥74,000. Several listings say Tokyo’s accommodation tax is collected at the hotel on top.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Akasaka Urban Hotel Annex | Runner-up (59/100) | 59/100, level with Hotel New Otani. No rooms came up in our search window, so value fell back to our three-star baseline, and category scores averaging 4.29 put it in the one-star band for quality — New Otani’s 4.47 took two. |
| Toshi Center Hotel (RIHGA Royal Hotel group) | Runner-up (59/100) | 59/100. Fluent English and the biggest review count here, but category scores averaging 4.16 took one star for quality, a 4.31 average took two for trust, and weeknights right at the median took three for value. |
| ANA InterContinental Tokyo | Runner-up (46/100) | 46/100. Weeknights at 245% of the median took one star for value, and a 4.09 average with category scores averaging 4.24 took one star each for trust and quality. |
| The Capitol Hotel Tokyu | Outside the theme | 4.83 across 519 reviews and directly linked to Tameike-sanno, but its cheapest rate on Rakuten was above our ¥50,000 ceiling. |
| Zenkoku Choson Kaikan and Via Inn Prime Akasaka | Covered elsewhere | Both qualified — 4.56 across 7,521 reviews, and 4.47 with a bath house — but they are already in our Roppongi and Akasaka guide, as is Hotel Monterey Akasaka, so we left them out to avoid repeating it. |
| Keio Presso Inn Akasaka | Could not check | 4.28 across 1,409 reviews, three minutes from Akasaka, but Rakuten returned no cheapest rate for it, so we could not check it against our price range. |
| 67 hotels | Below the floor | Fewer than 50 reviews, or an average below 4.0. |
Questions visitors ask
Akasaka, Akasaka-mitsuke or Tameike-sanno — which station should I stay by?
Akasaka-mitsuke and Tameike-sanno are both on the Ginza line, which runs straight to Shibuya and to Ginza and Asakusa; Akasaka-mitsuke adds the Marunouchi line, Tameike-sanno the Namboku line. Akasaka station is on the Chiyoda line. The three are a short walk apart, so pick the hotel first and note its exit number.
Can I get a hot bath?
APA Hotel Pride Akasaka Kokkaigijido-mae has a top-floor bath hall with the only open-air bath of the 19 hotels that qualified; the water is an artificial hot spring. Super Hotel Premier Akasaka has a high-concentration carbonated-spring bath, shared by men and women at different hours that change by day of the week. Both are communal and nude, and tattoo rules are not published, so ask first.
Which hotels have English-speaking staff?
Going by Rakuten’s language field: at Hotel New Otani Tokyo most staff speak near-native English; at Toshi Center Hotel a few do; at Best Western Hotel Fino and Super Hotel Premier Akasaka a few understand some English. APA Hotel Pride, Toyoko Inn, Akasaka Urban Hotel Annex and ANA InterContinental do not say on Rakuten, so ask when you book.
We are travelling with small children. Which suits us?
Toyoko Inn Tameike-sanno advertises free breakfast and free co-sleeping for children of primary-school age and under, though last check-in is 22:00. At APA Hotel Pride one pre-school child per bed stays free. Hotel New Otani has some connecting rooms on request.
How much do these cost?
The table shows the cheapest price per person with breakfast, for two sharing, from Rakuten Travel’s availability search for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 18 November 2026 and 9 January 2027, checked on 9 November. Weeknights start from about ¥8,000 at APA Hotel Pride to about ¥29,000 at Hotel New Otani; Saturdays from about ¥9,000 at Super Hotel Premier to ¥34,000. No rooms came up for Toyoko Inn in that window, so it has no measured price. Several listings collect Tokyo’s accommodation tax at the hotel on top.
Which one would you book?
Best Western Hotel Fino Tokyo Akasaka: 81/100, the top total, three minutes from Akasaka-mitsuke, with the best reviews of the 19 and a breakfast rated 5.00, at about ¥10,000–29,000 per person on a weeknight. If cost matters more, APA Hotel Pride is about ¥8,000–15,000 and has the rooftop open-air bath.
