Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel for families in Osaka because of location. Room was comfortable and facilities very clean and well maintained. Luggage forwarding to and from airport also available. Laundry machines were available throughout the day, buffet breakfast very child friendly and had a bit for everyone. Location was key, could get to Umeda and other connecting trains all covered and underground. Only complaint: there was no room to store clothes. The closet was full of stuff like slippers, emergency supplies, luggage shelf. We had to use the window ledge for clothes."

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is right across the street from the train station. Nice and easy if you don’t follow google maps. That takes you on a walk about. We didn’t have the breakfast but the market was at the train station and had a great selection of food. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you want a quiet area to stay at and not far by train to Tokyo station. The room is large and spacious."

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"We loved that the hotel was across the street from a park. It was so nice to start and end a day of sightseeing with a walk across the park. The Toto bathroom was up to date. The staff were nice and helpful. The onsite bakery was convenient (and delicious!). I was nervous about the air conditioning after reading some negative reviews, but our room had adjustable A/C that worked beautifully in late august typhoon season. We never needed to crank it all the way down to 20C. Laundry onsite (six machines total) was so handy. Cool vibes. Quieter at night than my condo at home."
