La Vista Tokyo Bay

As for my first visit in Japan and my first hotel experience in this country. I love the outdoor hot springs and cold baths so much. It is a truly relaxing experience. The breakfast buffet is also amazing! People highly recommend sashimi with rice. As for me, I enjoyed other dishes in the buffet even more. The seasonal pumpkin soup, the curry chicken and the salad bars with sesame sauce. They are good food!!!

I recently stayed at La Vista Tokyo Bay and experienced a minor hiccup during check-in: my Booking.com reservation for two rooms and four adults somehow only processed for two adults. A staff member, who was still in training, assisted me. I want to commend her for her exceptional patience, politeness, and kindness. She seamlessly helped us adjust the booking, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth start to our stay. Highlights of our stay: * The location is incredibly convenient, right by the Yurikamome station, making it easy to reach popular spots like Toyosu Market and Odaiba. * We loved the quiet atmosphere and the Skytree view from our room. * The nearby walking and biking paths near the Rainbow Bridge were a fantastic bonus. * Appreciated the complimentary snacks, drinks, and night noodles (夜鳴きそば). * The room was very clean, and general service was top-notch. * Parking is available for ¥2,300 per night. Areas for improvement: * The room did not have a bathtub. * The bath area on the top floor and the breakfast buffet could get extremely crowded during peak times, and the bath area notably lacked hair dryers and drinks (only ice cream was offered)." Approximately ¥200,000 for 3 nights for 4 adults (2 rooms) w/ breakfast. Slightly pricy based on the quality of service, but it is in Tokyo.

Location: La Vista has incredible views of Tokyo Bay, and is honestly in a great location. It has direct access to a metro, and is right next to Toyosu Market - which is a lovely experience for seafood lovers. There’s a walking trail behind the hotel running alongside the water, and is quite a peaceful stroll if you want to clear your mind. Rooms: The rooms are quite clean, which is an important aspect for me, however, our room was incredibly tiny. They seemed to have gone with a Marie Condo structure, but there was not even a single cupboard/storage/stand for our suitcases. It’s a given that anyone travelling would have at least one. The two of us had one each, which we had to leave by the doorway and in the centre of the room, which took up all the space left and we had to tiptoe around things the whole time. Only giving it a high rating due to cleanliness. The fact that you need to pick up amenities from the lobby is also frustrating since it has opening and closing timings. Service: We had a really rude first impression when checking in by one of the female staff at reception, but still rating well in this aspect as everyone else is pleasant. Judging by the other reviews that particular staff needs some training. Conclusion: All in all, it was a good stay, but I would say you could find somewhere better for the price due to the tiny rooms. It’s definitely not luxury, but it is really clean and aesthetically pleasing.
