Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo Review: Rooms, Breakfast & Location

Sitting in the eastern Tokyo district of Sumida, Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo offers the kind of practical efficiency that first-time visitors often find elusive: a three-minute walk from a major rail hub, direct airport limousines to both Haneda and Narita, and a vantage point that puts Tokyo Skytree in the window of many of its 383 guest rooms.

Location: Sumida, Tokyo (3 min walk from JR Kinshico Station) · Rooms: 383 rooms with free internet and satellite TV · Nearby attraction: Tokyo Skytree® (visible from hotel) · Key amenities: Gym, restaurant, shuttle bus (Narita Airport) · Hotel style: Large grand hotel with atrium and buffet breakfast

What is the Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo?

Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo occupies a practical niche in eastern Tokyo’s hotel market. Its address at 1-2-2 Kinshi, Sumida-ku places it in a commercial district that is a 15-minute train ride from central hubs like Tokyo Station but immediately adjacent to major tourist draws in Asakusa and Oshiage. The hotel’s promotional materials, published by Tobu Railway, market the property as an official Tokyo Skytree hotel. This designation means certain rooms and the in-house restaurants are positioned to offer direct views of the tower.

The facility is not a small boutique property. With 383 rooms—a count echoed by Expedia and the Tobu Railway page, though an IKYU listing records 382—it operates as a grand hotel with a central atrium. On-site amenities include banquet rooms and a garden chapel, a configuration that suits both large tour groups and wedding parties.

The pattern: The hotel positions itself as a dedicated eastern-Tokyo basecamp, prioritizing direct rail and airport access and tower views over a central Chiyoda address.

What are the hotel rooms like at Tobu Levant?

The hotel offers a broad range of room configurations: single, double, twin, and fourth (quadruple) rooms. This range makes it a viable option for solo travelers, couples, and families traveling together. Standard amenities as listed on the official website include free Wi-Fi, satellite television, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a safety deposit box, and a bidet toilet seat. The official room information also lists air purifiers with humidifiers and nightwear among the in-room amenities.

Beyond the standard setup, the hotel emphasizes two specialty room categories. The Sorakara-chan room is themed around the official mascot of Tokyo Skytree. The Hokusai room is inspired by the work of ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, who was born in Sumida-ku.

The condition of these rooms, however, draws mixed feedback. TripAdvisor’s algorithm-driven snapshot calculates a room score of 4.4 out of 5, but also a cleanliness score of 4.0 out of 5. KAYAK’s summary of guest reviews specifically notes that while the location and staff are praised, some guests mention “cleanliness issues and dated areas that may need renovation.”

The catch: Room configurations are unusually broad for a business-scale hotel, and the themed rooms offer a distinct point of difference, but recent reviews suggest a need to verify the room’s physical condition before booking.

Is breakfast included at Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo?

Breakfast at Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo is a buffet. It is not a standard inclusion in every booking. On Hotels.com and Klook, the breakfast is listed separately at approximately ¥3,190 for adults and ¥1,595 for children. This suggests that many base rates are sold on a room-only basis.

Some booking platforms offer packages that bundle breakfast. An IKYU rate snapshot from July 2026 lists prices starting from ¥18,200 for two people with breakfast included. A separate IKYU snapshot from September 2026 lists a two-person late-checkout package from ¥26,400 that also includes breakfast.

The trade-off: You save by booking a rate that bundles breakfast, but the buffet is not complimentary in standard reservations.

How far is Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo from the airport?

Travel time to and from Tokyo’s main airports is a key metric for this hotel, and the data from the official Tobu Railway page is specific. Haneda Airport to the hotel takes approximately 60 minutes by airport limousine. Narita Airport takes approximately 70 minutes. The one-way fare for the airport limousine is ¥1,200 for adults and ¥600 for children, as listed on the hotel’s official Japanese access page.

This direct limousine service removes a significant logistical hurdle for travelers arriving with checked luggage. The distance is also measurable in rail terms: the hotel is positioned 4.5 kilometers east of Tokyo Station.

Why this matters: The direct limousine connection with fixed published fares removes the guesswork of airport transfers, a key convenience factor for first-timers.

Is Tobu Hotel Levant easy to get around from?

The hotel’s primary transit advantage is its proximity to Kinshicho Station. The official walk time is approximately three minutes from the JR Sobu Line North Exit and from Exit 3 of the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line. From Kinshicho, travelers can reach Oshiage Station—the stop for Tokyo Skytree—in three minutes by train.

The neighborhood of Kinshicho itself is a commercial district. TripAdvisor reviewers and property information emphasize the hotel’s proximity to shopping centers, restaurants, and convenience stores. Hotels.com even lists bicycle rentals for exploring the Sumida neighborhood.

The hotel also functions as a Tokyo Disney Resort Good Neighbor Hotel. A reservation-based shuttle service operates, though the IKYU listing notes that this shuttle requires an advance online reservation. Paid private parking is available at the hotel, listed by IKYU at an additional ¥2,000 per night.

The implication: For guests focused on eastern Tokyo, the sprawling Shibuya/Shinjuku transit networks become an unnecessary leg. This is hyper-local efficiency.
