Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Shinagawa Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything you would need is within steps. Huge hotel located for easy access to trains and shopping"

Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo

8/10 Good

"Had a lovely stay at the Tobu Hotel with my spouse. The staff were helpful, and accomidating in getting us set up in our room. They also helped us arrange a taxi for one of our evenings activities. The hotel is conviently located near Kinschencho Station which makes public transit a breeze. There is also a Don Quixote nearby ehich makes last minute souvenir shopping super convenient! The hotel also has a nice lobby providing a classy feel and ambience. Room wise, we ordered the double room and found it had more than enough space which was nice after our muxh smaller room in Kyoto. We did not request a tower view, but still found the view to be quite nice, with the city spread out around us (we were also able to still see the tower). Our only real complaint is that the tub was a bit slick to stand in while showering, which made footing precarious. The bathroom was also had a low ceiling which was bothersome for my 5'7 husband. There were also not a lot of outlets and outlet placement was a bit inconvenient for charging devices. Otherwise it was fantastic and we would definitely stay again."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is room is nice and clean only small but price for the hotel is not bad. I really like the location of the hotel is close to train station when I walk out of the hotel train station is outside the hotel and there bus station to airport Kansai international airport bus stop (Namba OCAT). Second thing I like is that convenience store is very close by like there 7 eleven in the hotel Level 4 and public bath , restaurant near by and there supermarket just 5minutes away."
