Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

8/10 Good

"Room was very small. Very clean hotel, close to subway stations, helpful staff."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in the Ryogkoku District of Tokyo, a stones throw from the Edo-Tokyo Museum. It is also within walking distance to the Ryogoku Metro. The room was clean, though a bit small. We had to store our suitcases under the beds. The Tokyo view was fabulous from the 23rd floor. We had two meals at the hotel:one buffet breakfast at $44.00 for two and a buffet dinner at $64.00 for two. Needless to say, we found it to be quite pricey. However, there are several restaurants in the area which are quite a bit less. We plan on returning to this lovely hotel."
