"I highly recommend hotel Gracery for a pleasant stay in Tokyo. Although the rooms are small but they are very clean with good amenities. The location is great. The staff are very professional and helpful. They go out of their way to assist you. Debbie, one of the receptionists helped us get a taxi to cruiseship port. She made sure we were getting the taxi in a timely manner and helped moving our luggages. She was extremely helpful and kind."

Apa Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower

8/10 Good
"The room is really tiny in reality the bath is loaded but very small. It's pretty good hotel regrettable that bigger room was not available at the time I made my reservation. It's very nice that every floor has a drinking water machine. Even though the tap water is supposed to be drinkable but I do not like the taste. Staff are friendly speaking nice English and helpful enough. TV screen is also servo as information bulletin which provides much useful information about your stay and hotel. It's interesting there is a mandatory house keeping very 3 days. Room amenities are in a bag hang on the door knob every day. Some of them I don't need to replace daily. The could have them freely available at the bottom floor like the Japanese hotel I stayed. It's at a nice location about less than 10 minutes walk from Shinjuku shopping area. There plenty of restaurants around to everyday price to expensive ones. There are several APA hotels around so make sure you know exactly which one you stay."

"Our stay at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo was such a beautiful way to end our trip to Japan! The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, and the thoughtful details made us feel truly cared for. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and a lovely place to unwind. The magnificent gardens and beautiful pool made the hotel feel like a peaceful retreat in the middle of Tokyo. After busy days exploring the city, it was wonderful to return to such a relaxing setting. Give yourself time to enjoy the hotel, pool, and gardens—they’re all part of what makes this place so special. We left with beautiful memories and would happily return!"

Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro

10/10 Excellent
"The property is in such a great location to where we were very close to an entrance to the jr line. The property is clean and friendly. The breakfast was pretty good. I like on the television it tells you how busy the breakfast buffet is and also tells you the status of the washer/dryer. It shows which machine is occupied and how many minutes are left on each load. The location is quiet at night and not far from the hotel is a bunch of locations to eat and things to do. There is a 7/11, Lawson, and Family Mart within a block radius of the hotel. I would definitely come stay here again. This hotel is also a stop for the airport limousine bus service from Narita and Haneda Airports."

"As travelers from the US we were happily surprised with the room size. It was very spacious for my husband and myself plus our 2 teenage boys and all of our bags. We had more than enough room to spread out and relax after a long day of walking and exploring. The hotel itself was in a great location, sandwiched between 2 train/subway stations which were only a 6-8 minute walk and their famous 7-11 stores and offered a quieter side to the city which was much needed after so much time is spent in the busier areas. I recommend!"

Sunshine City Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is by far my favorite hotel that I've stayed in in Tokyo and I'll always leave a review every time I stay here. Despite being about an 8 minute walk to Ikebukuro Station, the location connected directly to Sunshine City Mall and the proximity to all the stores in Otome Road make this hotel the prime location for the last few days of my Japan trips to get all my shopping in. There's a convenient Family Mart located downstairs by the elevators and the lobby, luggage forwarding to different hotels, and direct access to the Airport Limousine that goes right to Haneda/Narita Airport so no need to deal with crowded trains or a taxi. Highly recommend the Deluxe Twin Room on a Panorama Floor for a bit more space and an unbeatable view!"
