Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Narita Tobu Hotel Airport

8/10 Good

"Everything is fine. Beds are not too firm overall. Shuttle from airport to hotel is convenient. It’s a solid 1 to 1.5 hours from Tokyo though."

Hilton Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we stepped it, we loved it. There is so much to do in the hotel. There is a kid area for them to play, lots of food, and shops. The room was so nice. It was perfect for my family of 5. The staff was so nice and helpful. We had a complimentary buffet breakfast which was really good as well. We will stay here next time we go to Tokyo Disney."

APA Hotel & Resort Roppongi Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Great option and located next to a few subway lines. The staff were very helpful and the room was clean, and although small, had enough storage space under the bed. The only issue I had was that sometimes I could smell smoke in the hallway, which was unpleasant."
