Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location that was easy to get to transportation. Quieter area so not as much options for dining in the area but there are a few choices. Staff were very friendly(Hansen was exceptional) Felt safe. Convenience store off the main lobby. Great stay!"

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

8/10 Good

"I knew the hotel rooms in Japan are small, but this one is really well set out. The bathroom is compact so only one at a time! The room has everything you’d need. We had 2 large suitcases and there was enough room (ours are soft shell so you’d need to think about hard shell if you have those). Everything is spotless. No daily clean but they will replace towels for you. Bedside lights and charging points. Good AC and not noisy! Extra pillows in the hall if you need them. Check-in was easy and the staff we very helpful. We had breakfast included and went to the small restaurant in the Annexe building as the queue was long at the main restaurant. Lots of Asian options there."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for like 10 days, and the staff was always very nice despite potential language barriers, my room was cleaned every few days, and the fridge had enough space in it for me to keep a few food items and drinks nice and cold. To top it off, my room had AC I could control, so I was able to stay cool during my stay and throughout the night. Whenever I come back to Japan, I intend to book here again."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for shopping,dining and transportation. Very nice hotel Many amenities Convenience store (7-11) on site Only downfall for our visit was the high price to use the pool (books by the hour on the hour with fluctuating pricing by day and evening and weekday and weekend )"

Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is within walking distance of Ikebukuro train station, which connects you to many different train lines. The staff is friendly and able to speak English fluently. The best perks about the hotel are the connection to Haneda Airport through the Airport Limousine bus, which picks up at the hotel itself. All registrations can also be made at the lobby."
