"Enjoy the free tea and coffee here while taking in the compact design of this ultramodern ryokan."
Time Out
"It bills itself as ‘Tokyo's first designer ryokan’, but you'd probably do better to think of Andon as a high-end backpacker hostel."

"Smaller and a touch less pricey than its rival, the Imperial, this top-end hotel overlooking the palace gardens is another Tokyo institution."

Insight Guides
"Reopened in 2012 following a massive three-year renovation, the Palace Hotel now has an ambience to match its prime location across the street from the Imperial Palace."
DK Eyewitness
"With one of the best hotel locations in Tokyo, this serenely quiet, oldfashioned establishment has spacious rooms offering superb views of the Imperial Palace."
Time Out
"Not to be confused with the previous, ’60s-era Palace Hotel, this glistening new development opened in 2012, boasting 290 spacious suites and a fancy spa with views of the Imperial Palace Gardens."
