Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed on the top floor and the Godzilla theming was very fun! The rooms were a bit small, but clean, comfortable, and the view was amazing. Location was a bit further from public transport than I generally like but very centrally located in Shinjuku."

Apa Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower

8/10 Good

"The hotel was okay overall. It wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t the worst either. Some things could be improved, but my stay was decent. Nothing too special, rooms are clean but small and the laundry is small basically 3 small machines so better got to the laundry early if you need to wash some clothes."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms and common areas. Kind helpful staff. Convenience and access to food and shops within the HND airport really are great added comforts."
