The hotel is fantastic, it's in great condition considering it's age. The staff are more attentive than at most of the 5 star hotels I've stayed at and the food options on site are exceptional. Especially the small bar. The rooms are a little dated but it's more like being in a movie set during the showa period than run down everything has been kept up well. While it's in essentially the inner core of Tokyo its in a quiet location,you don't have endless bar and restaurant choices in the neighbourhood but you can get to places like kanda station in a 10 minute walk and it's only a 5 minute walk to the chuo line which is incredibly useful. I think the Hilltop is actually quite special.

Stayed in a traditional room and it was a great experience with enough space. Breakfast was excellent both when provided by room service or in the breakfast rooms. The three restaurant had excellent food.

Eccentric and Charming
This hotel is 1950s throw back in style. Rooms are small but comfortable. We loved the eccentricities but it may not be for everyone. If you appreciate mid century furnishings and are not in need of business conveniences, this is a lovely place with fabulous staff. It's a good break from generic corporate style hotels. Location is away from main hotel areas.

A classic
The Hilltop is the antidote to hotel life in the modern metropolis. Set back from the street, it is quiet and charming in the old style. Art deco/art nouveau furnishing touches, gorgeous little restaurants (imagine breakfast surrounded by stained glass and classical music). Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It is a gem!

Art Deco Hotel - Great if you want what you get
I would recommend staying here if you are interested in Art Deco, Tokyo's 20th century past, or just an interesting experience. I stayed here because it has a beautiful Art Deco exterior, and was (is?) a hangout for the literati of Tokyo. The hotel interior gives the impression of being a bit tired. But that is because it is all from the 1950s (?). My room was comfortable; but a bit dowdy. The area around the hotel has many trees. It was a novel experience to wake up in Tokyo to the sound of birdsong! At night I was lulled to sleep by someone playing jazz in the Meiji University dorms adjacent to the hotel. Don't stay in the annex; nothing to recommend it. I'm not sure that I would stay here if you are just coming for tourism and want a modern affordable hotel. If you are coming to Tokyo on the Narita Express, get off at Tokyo station, and change to the Chuo JR line. Go to Ochanomizu (Water for Tea...nice name!). Go out of the station at the Meiji University side. The hotel is 10 minutes walk. It's a hilly area (hence name of hotel). It's an easier walk if you go past the Kandasurugadai post office, and take a left. Have a look at the map inside the station before you exit. This is a great area. There are many used book stores, some of which specialize in European languages. Also many musical instrument stores. Since it is a university area, there are many cheap restaurants; Japanese,Indian, Thai, Chinese, and hamburgers. There are also many bars and coffee houses.

大変シック設えでスタッフの対応も含めサービスも素晴らしく、ホテル内の食事処のレベルも極めて高いと感じました。惜しむらくは、部屋がバスルーム含めて狭すぎること、内装ももう少しリノベーションを掛けてはどうかと思います。

チェックインから期待がマックスに高まりました。部屋は古いながらも愛情がこもっていて良い空気で溢れています。（コンセントは少ないので注意） しっかりした机やスタンドがあるので仕事に最適でした。朝は和食が最高で、（鮪の刺身、山椒ちりめん、卵焼き、明太子、焼鮭）おかずをつまみにビールを飲もうか真剣に考えてしまいました。食べる価値大です。

以前、毎月出張で利用していましたが、今回は20年ぶりに母を連れて宿泊しました。クラシカルな雰囲気は変わってなくて、新しいホテルにはない空間と時間の流れが、とても落ち着くホテルです。と、思ったら、4月からリニューアルの工事に入られるのですね。新しいホテルも楽しみですが、ぜひ山の上ホテルらしさを残したホテルにしてください。またリニューアル後伺います。
