Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

10/10 Excellent

"Very accessible and nice to have the airport so close by....awesome!!!"

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"Beware that this hotel is in the middle of the red light district. But the hotel it self was great! Good views, clean rooms, well maintained and convenient 711 on the first floor of building with easy access . Amenities such as washer and dryer are not really great but overall i recommend a short stay here no more then 2-3 days since it can be loud and crowded outside"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that could have been better were the bed sizes. We are a family of 4 I am 6'2 242 lbs and my wife and kids are small in size and height 5ft and under and we barely fit in the 2 beds provided. Other than that this hotel is great and is close to everything. From here we were able to reach all train and bus stops to move freely around Kyoto and there is the main post office nearby at Kyoto station. The onsen was amazing and after a long day of walking it truly relaxes you and sets you up nicely for bed. The sauna is set at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and will really get any impurities out of you so if you do get sick get in there quick. All in all a great stay."

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo - Preferred Hotels & Resorts, LVX Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, everything was exceptional. The property was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. My room was spacious, spotless, and had everything I needed to feel right at home."
