Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel that made for a comfy stay. The bath house and sauna were great and nice and quiet."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"The rooms were as advertised and bathroom was an average size for Japanese hotel standard. The public baths were a nice to have and great for relaxing after a long day of walking. The laundry service got quite crowded but we later realised you are able to check on your TV for availability. All necessary amenities provided in the room."

Narita Tobu Hotel Airport

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for one night after arriving at Narita, and it was exactly what we needed after a long flight. The complimentary airport shuttle was a huge plus and made everything so easy. We also really appreciated the amenities in the lobby and the included buffet breakfast. There were so many choices that everyone could find something they liked. Overall, we were really happy with our stay. The hotel was convenient, comfortable, and very reasonably priced. We’d happily stay here again when transiting through Narita."
