Hotel Mystays Premier Hamamatsucho — Women-Only floors with Tokyo Tower views that live up to the 8.5 score
Picture opening the curtains on floor 15 to find Tokyo Tower glowing against the night sky, with Tokyo Bay shimmering in the distance — that is the moment many guests say made them like this hotel far more than they expected. This 4-star hotel in the Shibadaimon area of Minato ward dedicates floors 14 to 16 entirely to Women-Only use, accessible by female-keyed card only. The rooms come pre-loaded with POLA skincare, Lululun face masks, a Dyson Supersonic dryer and a hair iron, while the location — just a 4-minute walk to JR Hamamatsucho and a 20-minute Monorail ride to Haneda Airport — makes it a genuinely practical base for solo female travellers.
Hotel Mystays Premier Hamamatsucho sits at 2-2-3 Shibadaimon in Minato ward — a business district noticeably quieter than Shinjuku or Shibuya, and for many guests that turns out to be exactly what they wanted. A 4-minute walk from the front door reaches JR Hamamatsucho Station on the Yamanote Line, which loops around the whole city. Daimon Station (Asakusa Line + Oedo Line) is 5 minutes in the other direction, keeping Asakusa and Shibuya both comfortably in range. The standout transport link though is the Tokyo Monorail: board at Hamamatsucho and you are at Haneda Airport in 20 minutes, no line changes required.
"Guests consistently say the Tokyo Tower view from a Bay-side room on floor 15 was a complete surprise — at this price point, that kind of view feels like a genuine bonus."
The heart of Mystays Premier Hamamatsucho for solo female travellers is the Women-Only floor spanning levels 14 to 16. Access is restricted by a female-keyed card; there is no way for male guests to enter. Crucially, this is not a special request or an add-on — it is pre-set for every booking made in those floors, so there is nothing to negotiate or chase up. Guests repeatedly say that knowing the floor is genuinely single-gender makes a real difference to how comfortably they sleep.
Premier Single rooms measure 14 sq m — compact by global standards but entirely workable for Tokyo. What separates Mystays Premier from a standard business hotel is the amenity kit designed specifically for women: POLA skincare, Lululun face masks, a Dyson Supersonic dryer and a hair iron are already in the room on arrival. Guests say these small details make it clear the hotel has actually thought about its female guests rather than just giving the floor a name.
On the view: Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Bay views begin from floor 14 on the sea-facing side. During the day the bay stretches into the distance; at night Tokyo Tower lights up in orange gold and fills the window frame. It photographs immediately. There is one important condition though — you need to explicitly request a Bay-view room on the sea-facing side when booking, because not every room on the Women-Only floors faces the water.
In terms of getting around, Hamamatsucho is one of the most Haneda-friendly locations in Tokyo. Flying in late? Take the Monorail from Hamamatsucho, and in 20 minutes you are at the airport. Flying out early? Same journey in reverse. The hotel's 24-hour reception means late check-ins are never an issue, and the Yamanote, Asakusa and Oedo Lines together cover virtually every part of the city worth visiting.
A few things worth knowing honestly — Hamamatsucho is a business district. After 22:00 the restaurant options thin out significantly; a konbini is nearby, but it is not the same as walking out onto a lively street in Shibuya. Another point: the Bay view is exclusive to sea-facing rooms on the Women-Only floors. If you end up on the opposite side you will see the city skyline instead — still fine, but not Tokyo Tower. And the ¥10,200 starting price runs a little higher than other Mystays Premier branches in Tokyo, reflecting that Bay view premium.
Taken together, Hotel Mystays Premier Hamamatsucho is a carefully thought-out option for women travelling solo — a genuinely secured Women-Only floor, an amenity set that actually makes sense for its guests, an unexpected Tokyo Tower view, and a transport link to Haneda that is hard to beat anywhere in the city. At ¥10,200 a night, many guests come away saying it was worth every yen.

- 💡If you want the Tokyo Tower view — request a sea-facing Bay view room on floors 14 and above explicitly when booking, or confirm directly with the hotel beforehand. Not all Women-floor rooms face the bay.
- 💡If you want late-night dining or street life — Hamamatsucho goes quiet after 22:00. Plan your evening meal in another neighbourhood and head back afterwards, or rely on the nearby konbini.
- 💡If you are travelling as a couple or mixed group — the Women-Only floors are not available for mixed-gender bookings. You would need a standard floor room, which does not carry the same Bay view guarantee.
