Is the Henn Na Hotel really run by dinosaurs?

It sure is! We arrived at 11pm at night to be met by large dinosaur animatronics in hotel lobby including two Velociraptor dinosaur robots at the reception desk!

The Henn Na Hotel brand has the distinction of being the first ever dinosaur robot run hotels in the world!

With the help of in ipad for information input, a passport scanning pad, electronic funds transfer machine and automatic room key issue we were checked in – and checked out in the morning – all by dinosaur robots!

Apart from poking our heads into the breakfast restaurant next door before we left early the next morning, we didn’t see one staff member throughout our stay.

The Henn Na Maihama Tokyo Bay is like a regular three-star hotel in Tokyo. The basic rooms are small in size but not tiny like some Japanese three-star hotels can be.

Rooms are clean and modern with basic furnishings, a small remote-control TV, tea amenities, hair dryer, safe and Japan hotels’ characteristically firm beds. There is reverse cycle air conditioning, a small fridge and Japanese plug outlets.

The hotel rooms have private bathroom amenities of a separate toilet and small bath shower room. There are towels and toiletries including soap, toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner.

Do you really get a robot in your hotel room?

Yes, you do! The unusual bonus in your hotel room is your own personal room concierge robot! It took us a while to read its instruction page and get it speaking English as you can see in the Room Tour video, but it was a lot of fun to have it in there! The room concierge robot can be set as an alarm clock, play quizes, tell stories, dance and more!
