Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

8/10 Good

"Clean hotel with nice rooms and great staff. Amazing views, amazing onsen. The elevator switch, having to bring your room towels to the onsen, were both a bit annoying. Subway very close, Lawsons right below. Recommended place to stay."

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel, maybe the best I've stayed in in Tokyo. The room was slightly more spacious than others I've stayed in at a similar price, and the bathroom was bigger than others I've stayed in - it felt like we had loads of room. The room was very clean and had lots of amenities, including a coffee maker and kettle. They provided extra water (4 bottles) whereas other hotels usually provide only 2. The staff were very helpful. We bought fruit while in other regions of Japan, and we needed a knife to eat it, which the staff were very happy to help us with. Also the staffs English was excellent. In terms of location, it is fairly close to 2 different stations which meant we could easily get to shibuya/Shinjuku and areas on the west of the city fairly easily, but equally also get to Tokyo station, nihombashi, and asakusa fairly easily. So for us it was a perfect location."

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Shiodome

10/10 Excellent

"Genuinely I cannot fault anything at this hotel or staff. New to Japan & travelling on our honeymoon. We stayed in the Executive King Room with Tatami area for our first week. On arrival the staff went above and beyond to give us a great experience. The in-room amenities were perfect. I loved they had an ink-stamp in the lobby and such a great way to kick-start the memory making. Room was perfect; great views, excellent size, good shower and toilet. Coffee machine pods were lovely too & helped us with jet lag! Breakfast was a beautiful mix; a good introduction to cuisine whilst retaining a familiar comfort/staple. Subway line right outside for convenience - but noting needed a few changes to get to places we were going and added a bit of time onto each day (but all the more reason to relax back in the room!!). Worth the cost? Absolutely. I would take another long haul flight just to stay again. Perfectly suited a once-in-a-lifetime trip or a lengthy business trip."
