Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Standard business hotel in Japan. Small room."

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

8/10 Good

"Rooms are very clean and modern. Breakfast is adequate. Huge buffet but was assuming that they would be offering Japanese curry sauce like I have found in other hotels that I have stayed at in the Tokyo area. Coffee was there but you have to be quick because it disappears fast. They start to close the buffet about 20 minutes before they close. The best part is the mall in the hotel building. It has great stores and restaurants."

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

8/10 Good

"This hotel has a really cool lobby with a nice bakery and restaurant on the main floor. The room that we was small compared to North American hotels, 18 m², so it was pretty tight in the room to open suitcases etc. and there is nowhere to put clothes. The shower was nice and the beds were comfortable. The best part is probably the location as it is next to a park and there is a Starbucks if you are into their coffee right across the street in the park. It’s nice to get away from the packed streets of Shinjuku. It’s about a 15 minute walk to Shinjuku station, but there’s also a bus you can take that takes you right there that runs quite often so it is pretty convenient."
