Premium hotel MONday Maihama View I

Premium hotel MONday MAIHAMA View I is a compact Tokyo hotel with 57 rooms, a rooftop pool and the practical rhythm of a city base. It suits you if you want a straightforward place to sleep, eat and reset between outings rather than a large resort built around endless facilities.

The hotel website is available in English, as well as French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay and Japanese. That makes the pre-arrival information easier to navigate. Air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, a lift and a 24-hour reception keep the basics nicely uncomplicated.

The address sits in Minami-Kasai, Edogawa, in Tokyo. The hotel is about 12 km from the city centre, so this is the Tokyo edge rather than a central neighbourhood where you can wander straight into the thick of it. That can be a sensible trade if your plans are built around Maihama and the eastern side of the capital.

Tokyo Disneyland, Kasai and Tokyo Skytree are named among the places around the hotel. The setting is urban, with the useful bits of a city stay close at hand: a restaurant on site, parking, a bureau de change and luggage storage. There is no beach setting to plan around; this is a city hotel with water views in some rooms, not a seaside base.

The room choice is unusually broad for a 57-room property, with Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Premium categories alongside suites. The useful dividing line is not simply the label. You are choosing between shared and private bathrooms, river views or a more basic outlook, and double, twin or triple layouts.

For two divers, a twin room with a private bathroom is the sensible starting point if separate beds matter. A double room keeps things simpler for a couple, while the triple rooms give three people a proper option rather than asking someone to sleep on an improvised extra bed. The river-view versions add the outlook; they do not turn the hotel into a waterside retreat, so choose one for the view rather than for a promise of silence.

Do read the room details carefully before booking. Several Standard, Superior, Deluxe and Premium options use a shared bathroom, including some twin rooms and suites. Private-bathroom rooms also come with the more familiar practical touches: toiletries and towels, while the suites add a safe, telephone and mirror. Across the hotel, rooms have a television and slippers, and some categories include a kettle. Air conditioning and heating cover the less glamorous but rather important business of recovering from a hot Tokyo day.

The restaurant is GOOD PIZZA FACTORY K6, an Italian venue serving lunch and dinner. That gives you a clear answer when hunger arrives: pizza and Italian food on site, without having to turn the evening into another expedition across Tokyo.

Breakfast is available, while the exact meal arrangement depends on the room rate you choose. In other words, check whether it is included rather than assuming the morning meal comes bundled with every booking. Coffee and tea facilities are also available for guests, and rooms with a kettle make the first drink of the day pleasantly easy.

There is no bar listed, so the evening offer is centred on the restaurant rather than cocktails or a dedicated lounge. For a diver, that is a useful distinction: this is a place where you can eat, not a property selling itself as a late-night drinking venue.

The rooftop outdoor pool is the main leisure feature, described as an urban resort experience. It gives you somewhere to cool down and switch off above the city, with no need to dress up the idea as a full resort programme. One pool is enough for a quiet hour; it is not a reason to expect a day of organised activities.

The large public bath adds a more Japanese way to unwind. Guest hours run from 15:00 to 01:00 and from 05:00 to 10:00, with sauna access varying by the stated bathing schedule. Towels are taken from your room rather than supplied in the bath area, and children in nappies cannot use the large public bath. Guests aged seven and over use the facilities according to their gender, and children must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.

The hotel also has a sauna listed among its beauty and wellness facilities. There is no spa treatment programme or fitness schedule to build a day around, so the after-hours routine is pleasingly simple: swim, use the bath or sauna, then eat.

Check-in runs from 15:00 to midnight, and check-out is at 11:00. A 24-hour reception gives late arrivals a little breathing room within that check-in window. Luggage storage is available, which is useful when your room and your travel plans do not quite agree on timing.

An airport shuttle is available as a complimentary service. Parking is available on the premises and is paid, so include that in your planning if you are driving. The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, a lift, air conditioning, heating and a bureau de change.

The electrical supply is 100 volts, with Type A and Type B sockets, and both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies are used. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, China UnionPay, Diners Club and cash. Children aged six and under can stay with an extra bed available under the stated child policy.
