"This was our second stay at MyStays, so we would definitely recommend it, especially for the good price point. We were returning to North America after travelling through Southeast Asia and stopped in Narita for two nights. We rented a car and explored some of the surrounding cities, while other family members used the hotel’s very convenient shuttle to visit Narita (which we did on our first stay). They also had lunch at the hotel and enjoyed the buffet. Having a FamilyMart on-site is a lifesaver. We did have to switch rooms because of an odor in the bathroom, but the process was easy and there were no issues with the second room. Overall, a very convenient and comfortable place to stay in Narita, and we would happily stay here again."
