Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Super nice"

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location close to Tochamae station - 1 station away from Shinjuku, so away from the Tokyo maze! Convenient to connect to other train lines. Room is cute and front desk staff very helpful, especially with luggage transfers and any other queries. Highly recommend stay at this hotel."

Toyoko Inn Narita Airport Honkan

8/10 Good

"Nice to have breakfast provided in the morning and the airport shuttles go out very frequently approx every 15 mins. Right around the corner from terminal 3 so you can even walk to the hotel in 15ish min. The only thing that I’m not happy with is their bed. Their bed is so firm it feels like I was sleeping on the box spring and not the mattress itself."

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I’ve been to. Thanks to the staff for making everything as easy as possible, even at 4am in the morning when I checked out ! Will be staying again"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"I initially had a poor impression of the hotel due to slow internet but it turned out to be temporary. The staff was very responsive and the hotel clean and very quiet. Because the hotel is in an entertainment area, restaurants tend to be expensive but there is a building across the main street in front of the hotel that has dozens of restaurants offering varied and affordable fare. My experience of the hotel and its location (within walking distance of Osaka station and major department stores ) was overall excellent."
