Top Japan Hotel Reviews

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean room, friendly staff and close to all the places"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"A bit of a skyscraper, modern, well located hotel in the Umeda district. Good for getting around. The hotel is a bit souless, which starts from the moment you check yourself into the hotel. The rooms are tiny no room to swing a cat, but rooms are comfortable, clean, with good bathroom and Japanese mini bath. It is a popular and busy place, but room was quiet. Great view from the 21st floor. Good value for a couple of nights."

Hilton Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Big clean comfy room with brand new bathroom. The big outdoor pool they show on the photos page is now a restaurant area even guests have to pay to enter (7000 to 9000 yen each). It was more than we wanted to pay for that experience so we avoided that, but the indoor pool in the fitness center was great so we were overall happy. The fitness center is very nice and the in-site massage place was good. Breakfast buffet was delicious with lots of variety. Lawson stores on-site were well stocked and well staffed for the evening post-Disney rush hour food/snack/dessert and drink runs. One gripe: they have no way to access streaming services or to enable screencast from devices to the in-room TV. TV was huge and nice but we did not enjoy using it. Surprised that at a Disney park guests can’t even access Disney+ in their room for entertainment."
