It's just a 10-minute walk from Omiya Station, entirely accessible via a pedestrian bridge. What a pleasant surprise to find there's even a direct connection to Sonic City Hall for concerts! During check-in, I was delighted to meet a Chinese-speaking staff member. The room was immaculately clean, and the view from the window was fantastic! The 12 PM check-out time was incredibly convenient for us late-risers. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay, and we'll definitely be back next year!
The last two days of the trip were spent at Kawagoe Prince Hotel
The service staff can speak simple English, and the supplies are placed in the lobby for you to pick up
The hotel offers buffets, afternoon tea, etc. It is common to see guests enjoying afternoon tea snacks in the dining area next to the lobby.
If you drive, you can park at the Seibu Railway Cooperative Parking Lot next to you. It's very cheap at 500 yen a day.
It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Koedo. There is also a famous udon shop called Tabelog nearby. I ate there for two consecutive days.
The location is very good. If you want to travel through it, you can stay here for a day to rest.
Our top choice every time we visit Tokyo, Japan! The price is much more affordable than comparable hotels within Tokyo, and the rooms are significantly larger. Plus, it's conveniently located near the station, making shopping, dining, and transportation incredibly easy. The overall stay experience is fantastic, and I've recommended it countless times! This time, I want to highlight the restaurants within the hotel itself. There's a Chinese restaurant on the 16th floor with exquisite dishes and incredible flavors! Every bite is a delightful surprise! There are also several other restaurants on the fifth floor that I'll definitely try on my next visit.
The most important thing to remember about the Mark Grand is that Google Maps will show two Mark Grand hotels and one of them is wrong. Make sure that you find the correct address. The Mark Grand is a renamed and arguably improved upscale hotel in Saitama. It's a few train stops from Ueno and there's more than one way to get there depending if you're coming from say Shinjuku or Ueno. The rooms are immaculate with drip coffee, a humidifier, and you are given the option to have your room cleaned on specific days (not every day). JP customer service, as always, is excellent and although the breakfast buffet doesn't change, the options are more than enough to keep your palate satisfied for a week's stay. There's a Lawson at the second floor and an excellent gym, pool, and spa (not really an onsen). Unfortunately, the sports center isn't free and you have to pay a small fee (1200 yen) to use it but it's more than worth it. It's extremely popular with the older locals and make sure you visit in less busy times. There is a Cocoon mall nearby which is not busy and since the hotel is located in the CBD, you only come across salarymen rather than the annoying Western tourists. I also highly recommend the Railway Museum in Saitama, which is a short 2 stops away. If you're familiar with JP trains and don't mind the short commute, I highly recommend the hotel.
The twin room is very comfortable with a balcony. I also like the breakfast, it's a relaxing hotel. I had fried oysters for dinner and they were delicious!
There were Kanebo amenities such as lotion. They don't seem to lend out hair irons or anything else. I've been here a few times.
It's an old hotel, so there are traces of an old resort hotel. The facilities are old, but the interior is nice. There is a hot spring on the premises, which guests can use. There are no shops nearby, so we ate at the restaurant in the hot spring facility. It's inconvenient if you don't have a car, but you can get there by bus from Shinrin-koen Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. You can also get to the Fukaya Hanazono outlet by bus, so it's a good place to enjoy hot springs and shopping relatively close to the city center.
Beautiful traditional Japanese stay. It was a bit further away from the city, but the experience made it worthwhile. Dinner was excellent, with many creative dishes. It was also included in the price. The onsen was very well kept, and the place was clean. Would 100% recommend staying here.
It is convenient to think of it as a Korean sauna + tourist hotel.
There are grocery stores and convenience stores nearby, so you can stay comfortably.
It is a 6-8 minute walk to the tourist town of Koedo.
After finishing the Koedo tour in the morning,
check in at 3 PM, unpack your bags, use the nearby bars, etc.,
and then return to the accommodation around 7-8 PM when the shops close, take a bath,
and then use the accommodation as is. I think you will be most satisfied.

MmalydDespite the fairly sprayed view of the walls, it was very clean. Here you can dive into the atmosphere of the time that personally for me was a undeniable advantage. At the same time, there are the necessary modern facilities in the hotel. The owners were polite. There is an onsen(cento) in which you can rest after a long day. Unfortunately, I couldn't try local breakfast because I needed a premature reservation I forgot to make. Location of standards, from the station on the straight road.
