Top Japan Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. Above and beyond."

Shinagawa Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room is clean. The place is accessible everywhere. Except... when you want to use the coin laundry... dont expect it to dry your clothes. It is wet even after 3 hours of drying. Despite telling the staff who are there doing coin collection, all they said is gomenasai and never rectify the issue."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Great area to be in with lots close by. Loved that 7-11 were actually in the hotel so you didn’t even need to go outside. My first experience in an Onsen and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already. Beautiful facilities and amenities for your use. Hotel staff were friendly and polite. My only complaint was that the pillows felt like sleeping on sand bags."
