The Mercure Tokyo Haneda Airport Hotel is a newly opened 4 star hotel, that’s conveniently located within a 10-minute drive of Haneda Airport.
Name
Mercure Tokyo Haneda Airport Hotel
Location
The hotel’s location near Otorii Station and Haneda airport makes it an obvious choice for travellers catching an early flight or dealing with a stop over.
The real draw here is the location: just three quick stops from Terminal 3 (or four stops from Terminals 1 and 2) on the Keikyu Airport Line. Trains run every 10 minutes from 5 AM to midnight, making it super convenient for both red-eye and early morning flights.
The hotel also provides a complimentary shuttle service (see timetable below), but it does have limited hours — with departures to the airport starting at 4:00 am and pickups from the airport at 5:30 PM.
Guests travelling to Terminal 2 and 1 should be aware that the shuttle takes around 25 and 35 minutes respectively. Which means taking the train will actually be a quicker option, which is what I opted to do when I checked out at 6:00 am the next day.
For those that prefer taking a taxi, it’s a quick 10 minutes from/to the airport and should costs around ¥4,000.
Around the hotel, you’ll find several convenience stores and casual restaurants in case you need to stock up on snacks or grab a quick meal.

Lobby and Check in
The Mercure Tokyo Haneda Airport Hotel has a grand entrance and lobby, with a soaring wall displaying Japanese decorations greeting guests as they enter. The lobby consisted of two areas: one side filled with comfortable lounges and the other centred around a large table with high stools.
Also in the lobby, was a handy display that showed information about departing flights.
My check-in was smooth and efficient. The staff member recognised my gold status handed a card that outlining my benefits at the hotel:
- complimentary non-alcoholic drinks from the minibar
- complimentary use of the shower room
- a welcome drink at the bar
I was also given an upgrade to the Privilege King room, which had a bathtub and an external view of the city. Although my rate was prepaid, I did have to pay the JPY 200 (100 per guest) accommodation tax which is mandated by the Tokyo City government.
The Room
Guest rooms are located on levels 3 to 11, with the top two floors reserved for the Privilege rooms. I was assigned room 1010 on the 10th floor at the very end of the corridor.
The rectangular room comes in at a generous 24 square metres, especially compared to most hotel rooms in Tokyo.
The décor is stylish with a grey and black palette and gold accents. As you enter the room, on your left there’s a small wardrobe while the right hand side sits the bathroom. The bathroom contains a vanity, Toto toilet, shower, and a full size bath. Amenities were from ‘Elemental Herbology’ and had a pleasant fragrance.
In the middle of the room, sat a comfortable king-size bed flanked by two side stables. Above the side tables, were the light controls, power points, and USB-C ports.
And directly opposite the bed was a decently sized TV and next to it was a bar cabinet which had the minibar (water, coke, ginger ale, orange juice, beer), Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, glass wear, tea, and the safe.
There was also a small circular table with two armchairs, which had my welcome amenities which consisted of two bags of rice crackers and a sparkling water.
As Japan is notoriously dry in winter, an air purifier with humidifying capabilities was provided.
The room has a large window with a view of the cityscape, which does include a train track. despite the sound proofing of the room, you can still hear the trains when they pass. Personally for me it wasn’t an issue but if you’re a very light sleeper, you will need earplugs.
Dining at the Mercure Tokyo Haneda Airport Hotel
The hotel has a combined restaurant and bar called Brasserie s’envoler. Located on the ground floor, it serves up Japanese fusion cuisine and is open for breakfast and dinner.
Opening hours below:
Restaurant
Breakfast: 6:00 – 9:30 (¥3,000/person)
Dinner: 17:30 – 21:00 (Last Order: 20:30)
Bar
Hours: 17:00 – 22:00 (Last Order: 21:30)
Thanks to my Gold status, I was entitled to a complimentary drink at the bar but given the free (non-alcoholic) minibar and early morning the next day, I didn’t end up redeeming it.
Facilities
Located on level 2, is a compact 24/7 gym with a few machines and weights, as well as a hydration station.
Also on level 2, is also a shower room facility for guests who have already checked out and want a quick freshen up before heading to the airport. Access to the shower costs JPY ¥1,100 for 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, there is no business centre, however guests can head to reception for any printing/scanning/copying needs. The hotel also has 3 meeting rooms available for hire.
The complimentary Wi-Fi was fast and stable.
Parking is available on-site for JPY ¥1,500 for 24 hours.
Service at the Mercure Tokyo Haneda Airport Hotel
Overall, my interaction with the staff was cordial and professional, though it was brief. Since my stay was just for one night, I can’t comment on housekeeping.
