Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Roppongi Ekihigashi

8/10 Good

"I think it’s absurd that you’d have to pay additionally to use the pool but this may just be Japanese customs. Overall this was a great experience and the hotel was convenient and affordable."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Close to late night fun. Did laundry, ate at 2 restaurants, took advantage of amazing rooftop. Buffett brunch was 100% worth the price, you can pay for brunch at check-in and just bring QR code receipt to dine. 7eleven (inside hotel) is right near laundry room if u need a cocktail waiting for dryer."

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the amenities were good. However, the Room size is shockingly small. The bed isn’t a King size bed, but rather about 4 feet wide, so not wide enough for 2 Adults to sleep comfortably. There’s barely any space to open a suitcase. The view from the room was good as well. The staff was friendly and helped us with Luggage forwarding and any queries we had. Check-in and check-out were smooth."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Staff were helpful, and the check-in/check-out process is seamless for overseas travelers. The room was quite compact, though that was to be expected. Ideal and affordable spot to return to rest. It would have been useful to have an area to access a microwave other than the basement level. Being on the 17th floor made it a bit inconvenient to heat/reheat meals."
