Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very convenient and close to Nankai Line that takes us to and from the Kansai Airport."

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Metropolitan Edmont during our family trip to Japan. The hotel was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions we had. The location was fantastic, close to train stations, making it easy to explore Tokyo while still being in a quieter area. There were also plenty of convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance, which was very convenient for our family. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially appreciated how organized and efficient everything was, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay at Hotel Metropolitan Edmont again. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo, whether you’re traveling as a family or as a couple."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay in Osaka. The hotel is awesome. The rooms were comfortable but a tad bit small (compared to rooms I have been). The breakfast is very good, with a good mix of western and Japanese cuisines. We went with 2 kids and they really enjoyed their breakfast every day. Breakfast was served from 7 to 10, but the kitchen closes at 9:45am. We didn't have a single issue while we stayed there. Checkin is strictly at 3pm and checkout is 12pm. The hotel provides Yamato service and it costed us approximately ¥2100 per cabin bag size suitcase. If you drop it off before 3pm, it will get dropped off by the next day. There is a currency exchange machine by the check in counters. The currency exchange rate provided was not too bad $1:¥153 (at the machine) vs $1:163 (Google quote) on the day we used it. The best thing is that if you go to the basement, you can directly enter Umeda station which is the primary way to get on to the osaka Subway line. But if you use the elevators to go to 2nd floor, you can walk to Osaka station, which allows you to use the JR lines. Very convenient. Something else to note about this property, the hotel is on the 9th floor and goes up to 35th floor. The floors below is shopping (Daiso, Uniqlo, etc). There is a Yodabashi also in the complex. On the 8th floor they have a variety of dinning restaurants and tons more in the basement around the entry to the Umeda stn. We definitely recommend this location and will choose it on our next stay."

Shinagawa Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel for almost a week during our trip to Japan and overall had a good experience. The location was excellent—very central, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We rarely had to go far for anything, which made our stay very convenient. The housekeeping staff was outstanding. Our room was always clean, and they were consistently friendly and professional. The only issue with the room was the air conditioning. It never cooled as well as we had hoped, especially in the summer heat. The hotel provided us with a fan on our second night, which helped tremendously. Unfortunately, our last impression was disappointing. While checking out, I was using the luggage scale located next to Guest Services and the luggage carts when an older gentleman working there raised his voice and told me to use the scale outside because this area was busy. After staying here for nearly a week, I found this unnecessary and unwelcoming. There were other guests standing nearby talking and meeting friends, yet I was singled out for simply using the scale where the hotel had placed it. If they don’t want guests weighing luggage there, the scale should be moved to a more appropriate location. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel for its location and excellent housekeeping, but I hope guest service during checkout can be improved."
