Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"Location was convenient and amenities were accessible. Near to train stations, food and transport. Stayed at level 21, not noisy. Rooms were clean, although a little small but manageable for 2 pax. The washer room was useful during our stay."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"US traveler. The room was great (small), but efficient. Staff was great with a convenience store inside the hotel on second floor. If you a booking for the pool note that it is an extra charge if approximately $15 usd per day to utilize. Onsen was very nice. Should you have tattoos that cannot be covered with 2 bandages provided by hotel you cannot use. Convenient to the train station, very short walk. I found navigation easy."

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Given the location, this was better than I expected. The hotel itself is quite nice, other rooms are modern, clean, very functional. You definitely do have to take a train to go anywhere, but the station is right across the street. Given the price, the quality, and the comfort I definitely would consider staying again."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the placed. It was incredibly clean, eco friendly, and quiet. I felt like I was the only one in there! Honestly, it was much nicer and cheaper than the one I stayed in at Shinjuku. I wish I stayed here instead! I only gave the amenities 4 Stars as I was not here long enough to use anything, but the indoors 7/11 was amazing!!"

Shinjuku Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"Second time I’ve stayed here for my last 2 nights back in Tokyo before coming home. Perfect for location (near to great spots for food and shopping, plus more importantly 3mins away from the airport limousine to Haneda) and to be used functionally rather than as a lovely place to stay. Very small room but crucially you can put your suitcases under the bed! I dropped something on the floor and when I picked it up, I saw a lip balm and a travel perfume bottle - so not particularly thorough in terms of cleaning, but the bathroom and sheets and main areas are."
