"Hotel was in good location to get to other parts of Tokyo. Staff was friendly and helpful and Room was clean. Great barbecue restaurant across from hotel."

Shinjuku Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice room for what we paid for. It was clean, had all the things we needed, nice bathroom, and staff were friendly. The breakfast was a bit expensive for us so we didn't get it. I heard mixed reviews on its contents with one patron telling us it was a great buffet because their family used it for their one meal every day. We are foodies so we went outside to eat each time."
