As it was the end of a larger trip I was on a budget of sorts and considering I have traveled extensively from 3rd world capitals to other cities similar to Tokyo I was a tad apprehensive for what I was going to get for my dollar in 'the most expensive city in the world'.
I was pleasantly surprised by a number of things at the Horidome, of course I did expect the Japanese hospitality which was plentiful at the Horidome but what I also got was centrally located not two underground stops from Ginza, a very comfortable air conditioned room on the 8th floor with a reasonable view along with a fresh ironed gown on my bed every day as well as my green tea being re-stocked.
Although it is classified to be a business district, Kanto offers more with a number of eateries on your doorstep from your standard MacDonald’s through to traditional restaurants from cheap up to the not so cheap.
I tried varying and they were all very good quality.
There is also a reasonable amount of good shopping to do in the district with prices significantly lower than anywhere else in Tokyo, from souvenirs, clothing (business, fashionable & retro) there are lots of little streets that hold all these treasures.
Definitely worth the 20 min walk from the hotel is the 'Yodobashi Camera' department store that holds all of the best quality goods in stock from IT equipment, sporting goods, fashion and state of the art home entertainment systems.
All in all I highly recommend Horidome Villa and if on a similar budget next time I would definitely stay there.
