Which Tokyo Neighborhood did you choose to stay in, and why?

There's so many different neighborhoods (and sub-cities) of Tokyo, and choosing one can feel super overwhelming. So I'm curious —which neighborhoods did people on this sub actually book their hotels in? What was your reason for choosing that area? I'm not asking for the hidden secrets of Tokyo, just "what made you choose one place over another to stay?"

Follow up questions:

  • If you already went to Tokyo, did your choice work out for you, or did you regret it? (And why because someone might say a place is too quiet while others may be looking for a quiet respite, or vice-versa!) I would LOVE to see the before and after reflections from people.
  • did you move hotels but stay within Tokyo during a single trip?
  • if you've been multiple times, has that changed how you felt about the first neighborhood/ward you stayed at? Do you keep going back to the same place?
  • any neighborhood you would never stay in again?
  • was your choice easy for transit for what you wanted to visit, or did you take longer rides to get to other places? Did you choose a place that was more like a "base" to bounce from one place to another easily, or did you stay in a neighborhood you also wanted to spend the most walking time in?

Asking because I'm trying to decide where to stay in Tokyo in April and am torn, haha. I have tentatively booked a place in Ginza to be close to a station and other things, but.... I'm considering changing to Shibuya or Ueno/Asakusa and really need to make up my mind already before everything is sold out.
