We were able to leave our bags on the day of checkout and explore the area before heading onto our next destination."

Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"綺麗だった"

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"In my opinion this was an amazing hotel from start to finish. You can tell this is a luxurious feel to it as soon as you get to the lobby. I will not compare hotels but just say what I liked and where I can see improvement so others can make informed decisions. 1. Location: This is farther from the chaos of Shibuya but that was intentional because I wanted to experience something more quiet this time in Tokyo. So if thats what you are looking for and still a 20-30 minute train ride from Shibuya area then this is great. Train stations is 3-5 minute walk depending on the entrance you want. Has a family mart across the street and New days within the hotel. 7/11 is 2 minute walk. 2. Staff: Amazing, helpful and friendly. If I needed more towel. Easy. If I needed change. Easy. They even delivered a parcel for me on Saturday during checkout and the place said they received it same day. Wow. Thank you. They even throw away unused luggage you dont want. They also place umbrellas for everyone outside to use. 3. Cleanliness: Very clean and housekeeping is very nice. I like that they are not cheap ad give 4 bottles of water. My only suggestion is to change the color of the shower curtain. It looks old for such a beautiful hotel. 4. Facilities: Has a restaurant but didn't use. Has gym but didn't use. Has laundry with real time status on TV, which is nice. I did use. FYI, its one of those 2 in 1 machines which means they dont dry that well. I prefer the separate dryers. Thank you 5/5"

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Amazing hotel and staff. Very clean, air conditioning worked great. !!!Amazing location!!!!!! amazing restaurant, most definitely would recommend and stay here again. The ONLY con would be the elevator situation. Some days it would take me 10 min just to get up to my room. It was a nightmare"

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Shiodome

8/10 Good

"The Villa Fontaine is clean, fairly well located and friendly. We stayed here almost ten years ago and the breakfast options were much better then. Their cooked breakfast remains good but the fruit and pastries are very disappointing. But still…you can walk to Ginza and the glorious chaos of the area around Shimbashi station is fun."

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo - Preferred Hotels & Resorts, LVX Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the very best! So clean to the T. Very spacious, contemporary and well designed. Very wonderful view from the balcony. The bathroom is so beautiful. Love the bidet in the toilet. The towels, bed, pillows, robes are of the highest quality. Amazing staff. Always willing to help in a very cheerful and friendly way. Will stay here again anytime I’m back to Japan."

Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Value with Spectacular Skytree Views Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo offers some of the best value for your money. If you are arriving from Narita Airport, the Airport Limousine Bus takes you directly to the hotel for approximately ¥3,100, which is both convenient and reasonably priced. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle buses to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. The nighttime view of Tokyo Skytree, the world’s tallest tower, is absolutely spectacular. Complimentary bottled water is provided in the room each day, along with quality toiletries, body wash, and shampoo. The beds are medium firm and comfortable. Even the elevators are exceptionally smooth and quiet. You can barely feel them moving between floors. The breakfast buffet is well worth it. It includes freshly made omelettes, bacon, sausages, fries, rice, steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, bread for toast, miniature croissants, cereals, tofu, candied yams, smoked salmon, and a wide selection of coffees, teas, and juices. The hotel’s other restaurants are also very good. The location is excellent. There is a 7 Eleven directly across the street, a shopping mall about 200 metres away, and Kinshicho Station is only a short walk from the hotel. Sumida City feels safe and has plenty to see and do. There is also a laundromat around the corner that is open 24 hours. This is a great place to stay during a Tokyo vacation. It offers convenience, comfort, excellent transportation options, and one of the best views."
