Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu

Ooooooo!!! Do members receive extra benefits?  Or was the hotel overbooked and thus luckily I had a room upgrade?

I made a reservation for a standard twin room at Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu as a stop-over before moving northwards and thought the room and bathroom looked decently sized from the photos on the hotel's website.

But I was quite surprised when I opened the door to my room and saw that there was a door-less room that functioned as an open wardrobe and luggage room next to the genkan.  The sleeping area was large too, and there was an area with a table and 2 chairs in front of the TV, and next to this area is what I like to call the water station/corner, where the kettle and mugs and glasses sit.

The bathroom was also surprisingly large, with a full-length bathtub and sink area that runs opposite the tub.  Further into the bathroom is a separate area for the toilet with a sliding door and furniture that allows the toilet to double up as a changing room.

All that space for a standard twin room that most people might probably stay for only a night?

Post-stay, I looked up the hotel's website again, and realised that I had been allocated the superior twin room.  At about 29m2, it certainly was a lot larger and more comfy than the 20m2 standard twin room I was expecting to overnight in.
