Tokyo, oh Tokyo! A city that probably never really sleeps! It’s vibrant, and perhaps maybe a bit overwhelming when you’re trying to figure out where you would like to stay especially if this is your first time visiting Tokyo. When I was first trying to find a place to stay, my main points has always been location, price is of course important, and then convenience of nightlife (if that’s your thing), shopping, and easy transport links but still crave comfort, peace, and a touch of luxury?
Roppongi often gets a reputation as just “the party district” with nightclubs, fun vibes and late nights. And yes, that’s part of its charm! But here’s the thing: it’s also an unbelievably convenient location – so close to Shibuya, Harajuku and Tokyo Tower of course! It’s safe, and surprisingly refined areas to base yourself in Tokyo. And right at the center of it all is Candeo Hotels Roppongi Tokyo. From rooftop onsen to Tokyo Tower views, this hotel has become one of my best discoveries in Tokyo.
We flew in via Airfrance/KLM into Tokyo Haneda airport, and it was so easy to get to Candeo Hotels Roppongi. And if you have an e-sim already on your phone, you can easily use Google maps to help you navigate through Tokyo. I do recommend Airalo, it was very useful in this trip.
Oh and if you join their Flying Blue, the points you get is one good way to get cheaper tickets in the long run.
In this review, I’ll share 8 compelling reasons why I think you should book Candeo Hotels Roppongi for your Tokyo adventure. Whether you’re here solo travelling, with family and friends, business, sightseeing, or anime-hopping your way across the city, you’ll see why it’s more than just a place to sleep.

1. Unbeatable Location in Roppongi
Which traveller are you? The family holiday kind or on a business trip or perhaps the adventure cultural or solo traveller type? Roppongi will be a good fit, regardless of what you may hear of it, it’s safe!
For your shopping needs, Don Quijote is 5 mins walk and it is actually quiet unlike the ones near Asakusa, and don’t forget to go to the Tax cashier section.
Ichiran, the famous ultra-delicious ramen is 10 minutes walk and open 24 hours! The best part? NO QUEUES unlike the one at Shibuya! There’s also a great Udon and Ramen places plus a Kakigore shaved ice spot next door, and abundance of bars if you fancy it.
And Tokyo Tower is so close!
The convenience of it all? The Roppongi station is 5 minute walk away and this location is very close to Shibuya and Shinjuku by subway – JR line is valid here too. and if you are wondering what to do and where to eat in Roppongi, I have made a great guide to help you.
2. A warm welcome at check-in Candeo Hotels Roppongi
Decked out in a light gold interior decor and grand chandelier, Candeo Hotels Roppongi reception is a welcoming environment on the third floor. Checking in takes a mere 10 minutes, the reception staff explains the services of the hotel, and how to use the Sky Spa and the key cards. The key card you receive is dependent on your gender for the Sky Spa. White card for female and brown for male. Keep them safe as you need them to use for the lift to get to your room.
Oh don’t forget, the hotel has 2 entrances, one with stairs to the second floor and the other just around the corner leading to the first floor are for those with luggage.
3. Spacious Rooms with Tokyo Tower Views
In Japan, space is a luxury! You’ll find Japanese hotels provide the size of their room online and don’t be surprised if most are smaller than what you may be used to. Candeo Hotels Roppongi Tokyo is quite the exception, their rooms range from Twin room and to a Deluxe King Room with a city view.
My room was located on the 16th floor – the deluxe king room with the city view. It’s a room with a view you dream of. There’s a king bed with fluffy pillows and soft duvet where you roll around 3 times and not fall over the edge. There’s a large flat screen tv, AC plus heater, room for your luggage and a window day bed looking out to Tokyo Tower!
And best of all the view is magnificent during sunrise, the day and especially at night – you’ll watch Tokyo Tower change colour!
4. A Proper Japanese Bathroom
You’ve seen it on Youtube, you have read about it and now you can experience it for yourself! The Japanese toilet! It is as wonderful as you imagine it to be and more! Imagine heated seats as soon as you sit down, and there’s an inbuilt bidet where you can adjust the pressure!
The Bathtub is deeper than those in England, and as most Japanese people love taking baths, it is designed for a good soak. There’s also a shower built-in plus body shower, shampoo, and conditioner at your disposal. Towels are changed daily. If you don’t want your room cleaned that day, they will leave fresh towels outside your room in a package.
5. Thoughtful Room Amenities
There’s nothing better than being in a hotel room designed to meet your comfort especially when you might have forgotten your essentials.
Don’t worry, Candeo Hotels Roppongi Tokyo got your back! In your room, you have an amenities box.
Inside, you have a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shower cap, razor, shaving cream, loofah, cotton buds, and makeup pads. There’s bottled water available though the tap is drinkable water in Japan. Plus there are a big kettle, cups and glasses and sachets of tea and coffee available. And an ice Bucket, because there’s an ice machine on every floor should you require it.
The best part? Soft pajamas are provided by the hotel to use within your room or around the hotel. And bedroom slipper because its customary to take off your shoes at the room foyer and wear slippers in the room (your shoes are dirty basically).
There’s also a refrigerator! Not very common in hotels nowadays.
The most important thing – there are plug sockets dotted around the room and over your bed. Perfect when you have 5 devices to charge!
6. The Sky Spa Candeo Hotels Roppongi – Rooftop Onsen with a View
A beautiful rooftop modern onsen in central Tokyo with amazing views and of Tokyo Tower too. It’s open from 3 pm and overnight till 11 am the next morning. It’s perfect after all day of exploring or meetings, and take a bath there first and jump right in. There are a sauna and 2 onsens – indoors and outdoors. It has all the amenities to make your spa experience comfortable. From lockers to put your things away to hairdryers and shampoo plus makeup remover kits.
You absolutely cannot miss this experience, especially if you don’t have time to visit an actual onsen, this will be quite the experience on its own!
7. Breakfast for Kings and Queens
I don’t know about you but I value a good breakfast. It’s one of the things I look forward to in a hotel, and Candeo Hotels Roppongi Tokyo did not disappoint.
This is a mix of Japanese and Western, and it’s a very good opportunity to try a proper Japanese style breakfast. I am a firm believer when you’re in a new country, you have to their cuisine at least once!
Breakfast is a buffet style. You have the continental breakfast with soft fluffy croissants, bread with a toaster, sausages, bacon, cereal, yogurt and coulis with fresh fruits, and an actual honeycomb section which I rarely see in hotels! Plus there’s hot food such as French stew, aubergine stew, sweet corn soup, chicken teriyaki and, locally grown vegetables with fried rice and fried noodles.
Japanese breakfast includes Natto, grilled fish, taco rice which is taco meat and you eat with rice (try it! it’s good), Miso soup and sweet omelet which is a must-try cause you will not regret it – it’s so good!
And if you can, try all the 10 condiments provided too!
As for families with children, they have a special plate and cups for your little ones so they won’t miss out on the fun!
8. Hotel perks and amenities at Candeo Hotels Roppongi Tokyo
Unlike most hotels I have visited, this one has it’s own laundry machine! Yes, a laundry machine that became my new best friend. Why? Because I had an abundance of clothes that needed washing. Tokyo was surprisingly warm when I visited and Laundry is a welcome service. It cost around 400 yen with wash and dry plus detergent.
And they provide a weighing machine or scales within the Sky Spa. I found it useful to weigh my bags before leaving so I won’t be overweight, It turns out I was under (Should have bought more KitKat!)
Plus each floor has an ice machine and a film rental service for 1000 yen (I haven’t used it personally). And for those of you who smoke, there’s a smoking room the Sky Spa as the hotel is non-smoking.
Final Thoughts TL;DR: Why Candeo Hotels Roppongi Is Worth It
Tokyo offers thousands of hotels but Candeo Hotels Roppongi balances location, comfort, and authentic Japanese touches beautifully. For me, it was the combination of Tokyo Tower views, rooftop spa, and thoughtful service that made it special. It felt like I had a sanctuary right in the middle of one of Tokyo’s busiest neighbourhoods.
So if you’re asking yourself where to stay in Tokyo, and you want convenience and comfort, this hotel is worth every yen.

Beautiful hotel! The view looks incredible especially during sunrise or maybe it was sunset! And live to soak in the Sky Spa too!! It’s definitely a consideration when I visit Tokyo
Sky Spa is so wonderful and warm! The outdoor one is amazing, cold air and hot water mmm. It was Sunrise just before breakfast time and it’s so calming watching it with a cup of tea before heading out to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo
