APA Hotel & Resort Roppongi Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is included, and the experience was great with very helpful staff!"

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent

"Even though there was online check in at reception it was still important to maintain the face-to-face welcome especially as a foreigner. I appreciate the clean room and amenities. I had breakfast on 28th floor and that was an unforgettable experience in the varied choices for breakfast to pick from."
