Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Roppongi Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Helpful staff. Great breakfast options"

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location was wonderful. Clean rooms but very small. The airport limousine stops right in front of it so it’s very convenient for the airport. The staff was polite but a little hurried. The Mart on the first floor is the best. You find many many things and the employees are SUPER nice. I will go back there and to the hotel."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect first night in Japan. The hotel is right in the Haneda Terminal 3 complex, so after a long flight there was no train or taxi, just walk over and sleep. I liked it enough that I'm already booked back here for the end of my trip."
