Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Have a wonderful time with my family and we thank you for the great service!"

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful and friendly staff. Check in and check out were done at one of their many kiosks. So no waiting in line ( at least when I checked in and out). Room was small but functional and will accommodate solo travellers well. But no more than two to a room. There's no fridge so plan accordingly when buying food/water or other perishable items. It's quiet and I specifically loved the window covers that block out 98% of the light. So getting a good night's rest wasn't a problem for me. Only thing for me was i dont read or speak Japanese. So turning on certain appliances inside the room was a challenged. But it motivated to learn the language."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Property is clean and staff is amazing. I was really impressed with the size of the room considering most hotels in Japan are relatively small. Most amenities were very nice. The only issue was the number of available washer/dryer for the guests. Nonetheless, I got laundry done without any major concerns. Really enjoyed the visit. I will highly recommend and definitely stay again."

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed this room. It was spacious compared to other hotels in Japan. I appreciated the sitting area next to the window as it provided a space to put our things and store our luggage, making the rest of the room more comfortable. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were not. I’ve used these same pillows at other budget hotels in Japan, like Tavinos, and I’m not a fan. They have beads in them, making them both flat and hard. I would have appreciated a second blanket in the room, as the bedding is minimal. The mini fridge was nice to have and gave us a place to store snacks and drinks in. The bathroom feels a little cramped, but it was fine, and the water pressure in the shower is great. I appreciated that room cleaning was free and could be requested daily by placing the appropriate magnate on the outside of your door. The location is great too and not too far from Shinjuku Station. There are two convenience stores at the bottom of the hotel, as well as other restaurants and facilities, including a pharmacy. The hotel also has a free luggage locker you can use in the lobby, which was great for the final day of our trip where we had time to explore before heading to the airport."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. Location is amazing. Walking distance to Osaka station. 1 stop to shin osaka, did all my day trips with no hassle.. Shopping center just below and much more.. everything you need.. Just give yourself a couple hours or days to learn the layout of everything around you.. its worth it."
