"Matsubaya Ryokan was an amazing experience. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful, and the premises were amazing to stay at. We stayed in the garden view room, and we were very pleased with the experience. The room was very spacious for Japan, and there was plenty of extra fun stuff to do, such as: tea making, a free sake tasting, and a private bath experience. A ton of fun, and a great find in Kyoto!"

Top Japan Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Reasonable sized room, quiet, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Ulta convenient for our late arrival at the airport"

Shinagawa Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location as it’s only a few mins walk from Shinagawa station. There is a 7-eleven in the building too and on site bowling and darts. For the price we paid I would’ve expected sleepwear, but it’s understandable as they host so many people. Expect the hotel to be busy with lots of people. Rooms and washrooms are big which is nice to have. The Main Tower rooms look older though. Overall, great location and very convenient."

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Shiodome

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo Shiodome and would absolutely recommend it. What stood out most was how accommodating the staff were when my travel plans were unexpectedly disrupted. My flight to Tokyo was canceled, delaying my arrival by a full day. The hotel was incredibly understanding and helpful with the change, which took a lot of stress out of an already frustrating situation. After finally arriving in Tokyo, being welcomed so warmly was greatly appreciated. I was also very impressed with the housekeeping. My room was cleaned and refreshed frequently throughout my stay, and everything consistently felt clean, organized, and well maintained. The location is excellent, with convenient access to Shiodome Station and Tokyo’s rail system, making it easy to explore the city. Between the accommodating staff, excellent housekeeping, convenient location, and comfortable accommodations, the hotel contributed greatly to how memorable my first trip to Japan was. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Tokyo."

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"I had an excellent experience at this hotel. The cleanliness, service, and hospitality were outstanding, and the breakfast was definitely one of the highlights of my stay. The hotel is very well located, and the entire staff was extremely polite, friendly, and attentive. Everything made us feel very comfortable and welcome. I would definitely give this hotel 5 stars and would absolutely stay here again. In fact, I’ll be returning to Tokyo in two weeks and was very disappointed to find that the hotel is already fully booked, because I would have loved to stay here again. Highly recommended — a wonderful hotel and a truly great experience!"
