Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Shiodome

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great and the breakfast buffet was fantastic."

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

8/10 Good

"It was a very nice, staff was great and food was pretty darn good! However, since we are fat Americans, we found the bed a little hard and toilets too small for my round posterior. Also I sweat like pig at night and 20.0 C doesn’t cut it. I understand these issues are not universal but as an American, I’m gonna give my opinion even if it’s just a me problem. 4/5 pretty awesome stay. Would do it again!"
