Booking hotels in Japan can be slightly intimidating - the majority of hotels are run by domestic chains, unknown in the west, while the well known properties (Park Hyatt, Peninsula et. al.) are eye-wateringly expensive.
The Metropolitain Marunouchi is a great choice in Tokyo. It occupies the top floors of the Sapia tower, so every room has great views, while the location can't be beat. Sapia Tower is part of the Tokyo Station City development, a minute's walk from the Shinkansen platforms at Tokyo Station and practically on top of a metro station. Trains on the Yamanote and Chuo Lines (which, respectively, orbit and bisect central Tokyo) are five minutes from the lobby, while a ten minute voyage riding a variety of escalators has you on the Narita Express and bound for the airport. One change, from the Yamanote Line, connects you to the Tokyo Monorail and Haneda Airport.
Food and drinks within the hotel are both limited and expensive, but there are a variety of malls offering better choices close by.
Service is friendly and efficient while the rooms are clean, well furnished and, by Tokyo's standards, large.
What more could you ask for?
Sounds like a lovely location. me and my husband would love to visit Tokyo, maybe we'll consider it :) !

Metropolitan Marunouchi has got beautiful rooms with great views of the city, don't forget to mention non-smoking rooms because I had some issues with that. Not specifying non-smoking will place you to smoking rooms.

Hotel industry is the area of serving best services to the people. These industries have more responsibilities to serve people than the others. People pay to enjoy their facilities so it is important to take care about all the necessary things related to their choice.
