Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

8/10 Good

"The rooms were good and the location is good. I feel like the staff at check-in were not very helpful or interested in being helpful. Overall though, it is a quality hotel."

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were very spacious and well planned out with separate toilet and shower rooms. The beds were comfortable. My first impression was the hotel reception area smells amazing as you enter - probably from the use of essential oil burners. The staff were extremely helpful, and all spoke very good English. When I booked this hotel, I thought it was more centrally located to Tokyo but it's quite a long way out. I believe it's a very popular hotel for people who are visiting Disneyland - because Disneyland is close by. There are not many shops or restaurants nearby - it's very suburban with only a couple of corner stores. However, it's only a short walk to the train station - and only takes two trains to get into central Tokyo...relatively easy to work out."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"After a 14 hour flight and several hours trying to navigate the airport/traveling to the hotel via the train system, we made it to our hotel exhausted. The staff members were helpful during our initial check-in and later during our stay when we wanted to send our luggage to our next destination. The room we stayed in was quaint with a wonderful view of the city. We will definitely stay at this hotel or other APA hotels in the future."
