"Matsubaya Ryokan was an amazing experience. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful, and the premises were amazing to stay at. We stayed in the garden view room, and we were very pleased with the experience. The room was very spacious for Japan, and there was plenty of extra fun stuff to do, such as: tea making, a free sake tasting, and a private bath experience. A ton of fun, and a great find in Kyoto!"

Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for a week and could not have picked a better hotel for the price. It’s location was fantastic with it being so close to a train station, being beside a Sumo wrestling stadium and the area being a few train stops away from main areas people would like to see The rooms were clean and had air conditioning which was needed for our time there. I would stay again without hesitation."

Narita Tobu Hotel Airport

8/10 Good

"Expect small rooms, a standard in Japan We gafe stayed here twice before Close to station, and if you’re happy to walk around lots, it’s a good choice not too far but not too close to the main Shinjuku area - shops/Godzilla. If you want to go shopping at Don Quijote there’s one walking distance from the hotel. If you like bbq there’s 2 bbq places just past the station entrance. Laundry services for washing and drying - although pls. Enough time for drying as 1 cycle will not be enough you’ll need at least 1hr min to dry unless it’s a small load Tullys next door got breakfast too We will be back to this hotel"

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent

"Even though there was online check in at reception it was still important to maintain the face-to-face welcome especially as a foreigner. I appreciate the clean room and amenities. I had breakfast on 28th floor and that was an unforgettable experience in the varied choices for breakfast to pick from."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying at this hotel and it won’t be my last! The property is easy to get to from Kyoto station, the staff are all so friendly and professional, the amenities are great, rooms are clean and comfortable. The onsen is one of my favorite things about staying here. The breakfast is excellent too!"
