The mid-range Hotel Villa Fontaine Shiodome occupies a 497-room high-rise building in Tokyo's business district, with excellent transportation links. The hotel has direct access to Shiodome subway station, and Shinbashi train station is an eight-minute walk away. The hotel's public spaces are sleek and swanky, with a colonnade ceiling in the atrium lobby, but the room interiors are in need of a refresh. Still, on clear days views extend to Mount Fuji. Rooms come with free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. A free breakfast buffet is served each morning in the lobby area, where there's also a trendy lounge bar. Other on-site features include a gym, business center, and coin-operated laundry. Travelers may want to also consider the nearby Celestine Hotel, which offers competitive rates, minibars, and a French restaurant -- but not breakfast.

Dai-Ichi Hotel Tokyo is an upper-middle-range property situated in a tall tower a couple of minutes' walk from Shimbashi Station. The 278 rooms here are classically decorated and come with great amenities (including Nespresso machines in upgraded rooms), but they aren't well-soundproofed and the hotel's proximity to nearby elevated train tracks may prove bothersome. The hotel offers a wide array of on-site dining options, from teppanyaki to French cuisine along with a solid breakfast menu (for a fee), but features are rather limited otherwise. They include free Wi-Fi and a basic business center, plus five meeting rooms, some with natural light. Guests can access a gym complete with a lap pool across the street for a fee. Overall, the hotel is a good value, and its proximity to Shimbashi and Ginza might be enough to prompt guests to stay here. However, travelers in search of somewhere quieter may want to consider Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa.

Popular with budget travelers, Centurion Hotel Grand Akasaka is a small value property with 82 rooms that run the gamut from tiny Single Rooms to spacious Suites that can sleep up to six people (if extra beds are added). On-site amenities include coin-operated laundry facilities, vending machines, microwaves, and a men's sauna; women get passes to a nearby bathhouse. There's also a cafe where free hot breakfast with Japanese and international fare is served, and guests can plate up their own food and take it back to their rooms. Overall, it's a good deal (especially for travelers in large groups or who don't mind sacrificing space in order to save money), but there are more spacious (and more expensive) alternatives nearby, such as the Keikyu EX Inn Shinagawa Ekimae.
