About the hotel where we stayed (Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama)

Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama

Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama is a 4-star hotel and an official hotel of Disney Resort.

The hotel has a central atrium and a southern European-style townscape, so you can enjoy an extraordinary feeling, not only for Disney purposes, but also for staycation purposes.

The hotel has Regular Floor, Garden Floor, Rainbow Floor, and Nikko Floor, and room types include Standard Room (28㎡), Superior Room (32㎡), Deluxe Room (40㎡), and Deluxe Family Room (56㎡), making it a good hotel for families.

Guests staying on the Nikko floor can use the exclusive lounge on the 12th floor.

About the Nikko floor where we stayed this time

check-in

Check-in time is from 3:00 p.m. I arrived at about 2:15 p.m. and went to the check-in counter and was able to check in normally and get into my room.

I was able to check in right away without waiting because of the early time.

Some hotels have a separate check-in counter or preferential treatment for guests staying on special floors, but this hotel did not seem to give preferential treatment to guests staying on Nikko floors.

Nicco Standard Room

I stayed in a Nikko Standard room on the 11th floor, which had two beds, a toilet, and a bathtub that was large enough for a woman to stretch her legs. The water pressure in the shower was strong.

Amenities included Mikimoto shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and cosmetics sets, and a welcome gift of chocolates.

There was nothing in the refrigerator, but there were two bottles of water and they were free. The lounge has an all-you-can-drink drink bar, so we had our drinks there.

From the window we could see Cinderella Castle, Beauty and the Beast Castle, and the new Toy Story Hotel.

Nikko Lounge

Located on the 12th floor, guests staying on Nikko floors can enter by holding up their room key.

The lounge has a large window with a view of Tokyo Bay and the Toy Story Hotel, although you cannot see the park.

There are also plenty of electrical outlets, which I thought was convenient for teleworkers.

Hours of operation are from 7:00 to 22:00, but services vary depending on the time of day.

7:00 to 10:30 a.m. Morning hours

Bread was served during morning hours.

On the day I stayed, there were three kinds of bread: croissants, muffins, and poire danish, blueberry jam, summer tangerine jam from the hotel, and strawberry jam.

The summer orange jam was delicious.

1pm to 4pm Tea time

At tea time, there were madeleines, macaroons, marron cakes, and other sweets, muffins, and danishes.

It was nice to be able to eat a variety of sweets in small sizes, and since they were made by the hotel, they tasted delicious.

5:30 to 8 p.m. Cocktail hour

Alcohol and snacks are served at this time.

There were Temari Sushi, sandwiches, crackers, vegetable sticks, etc. I was excited to see my favorite salmon as Temari Sushi!

I was so excited to see my favorite salmon in the form of “Te-mari-zushi”!

I got there just before 5:30pm and there were seats available, but the people who came after me were told that the restaurant was full and they would be shown in order.

I was asked to use 1 hour when it was crowded.

8pm to 10pm Night time

Snacks were offered, dried fruit and caramel popcorn pretzels.

I was not hungry at all after eating too many teatime snacks and cocktail hour food, so I went there after 9:30pm and there was not much left.

I’d recommend the Nikko floor if you’re looking for a staycation at a great value, since using the lounge will save you money on drinks and food!

*Taking food and drinks out of the lounge is prohibited.

About Breakfast

Breakfast is served at Le Jardin restaurant from 6:30 to 10:30 (last order is 10:00).

You will be given a breakfast ticket when you check in, so take it with you.

I went there before 7:00 a.m. so I didn’t have to wait long to get in, but it seemed to take a while as the hotel staff showed us around one by one.

I was told that all the window seats were occupied, so if you want to have breakfast with a view, it would be better to go around the time breakfast starts.

Breakfast was prepared in front of you in a performance kitchen, and the menu included hamburgers, omelets, omelets with Japanese soup stock, and rice balls.

There were not only Japanese and Western dishes, but also pho and Chinese congee, so I thought there was quite a large selection.

The breakfast coupon is actually for use at Le Jardin for dinner, not breakfast. If you are an early riser or not in the habit of eating breakfast in the morning, I thought it would be good to use it for dinner.

However, breakfast is more expensive and has more items, so I recommend using the breakfast coupon for breakfast.

check-out

When I checked in, I was informed that check-out time was basically 12:00 p.m., and that if I did not have to pay for my room, I could simply put my room key in the box.

I happened to see a hotel employee in the elevator and he said, “If you want to check out, I will receive your room key if you want.

It was nice that it did not take long to check out.
