Top Japan Hotel Reviews

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

8/10 Good

"Convenient location if you have an early flight out of Haneda Airport. Check-in and check-out were both done by kiosks and it felt a little impersonal. On the plus side, it was efficient and fast."

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning hotel that's close to local transport for ease of getting to all the main attractions. We had a room on the 30th floor with the most amazing views - also had executive bar access for drinks and nibbles from 4.30-9.30pm. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms spotless and well-equipped."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Room was fine, especially good for solo traveling. Public bath was okay, not as clean as other places but probably due to foreigners who don't know how to behave. For example, some showers people left their bowl full of their dirty water, instead of flipping the bowl back upside down and cleaning their station."
