We loved it stay at Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand in Haneda Airport. 

The hotel was so easy to find, super conveniently located and really good value. Staff went above and beyond to support when we had a slight issue with the room (which felt well proportioned compared to other hotel rooms in Japan), and the brekkie buffet was great and just what we needed before a long flight.

This clean and comfortable hotel offers a spacious, quiet stay with excellent public transit access and an hourly shuttle to Tsukiji Market. While colocated with a shopping mall, its slightly remote location and extra fees for parking and the onsen may deter some travelers.The Highlights

Impeccable Rooms: The rooms are spacious, exceptionally clean, and highly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep.Excellent Transit Access: Unbeatable connectivity with multiple train service options and bus stops located right nearby.

Convenient Location: Situated directly above/alongside a shopping mall, giving you immediate access to dining and retail.Shuttle Service: Features an hourly shuttle bus to the famous Tsukiji Market, making sightseeing a breeze.

Helpful Staff & Amenities: Handy lobby amenities and seamless luggage storage if you arrive early or have a late flight.

The Drawbacks
Out of the Way: It is situated a bit far from the main city center, though the area remains pleasantly quiet and peaceful.Extra Fees: Be prepared to pay extra for parking and the on-site onsen, as neither is complimentary.

Overall Verdict: A highly functional and comfortable stay that balances a peaceful, slightly off-the-beaten-path location with stellar transport links and a convenient shuttle. Ideal for travelers who prioritize space, cleanliness, and transit convenience over being right in the heart of the bustling city center.

This is a continuation of my previous review. I had to book an extra night because I'd initially booked one day less. The hotel was able to merge both bookings when I checked in. Also, some guides mentioned that additional fees might be charged during check-in, but that wasn't the case. I only paid the amount shown on Trip.com, and didn't have to pay anything else upon arrival at the hotel.

The room was clean and a decent size for Tokyo. It was quite convenient for getting around by subway, and the neighborhood was pretty quiet. There's a Don Quijote nearby, which is the Ginza main store, and it has a huge selection of items, perfect for some last-minute shopping before heading home.

The bus station is right next door, which was really convenient for the last day of my trip. The hotel room was decent, I could open a large suitcase, and the bathroom wasn't small either. I think it's a good place, and I'd stay here again if I have the chance.

This is arguably the biggest room I've ever stayed in Japan, truly the largest! 

**Amenities:** Very comprehensive. On the first floor, you can pick up coffee and toiletries as needed. 

**Cleanliness:** Very clean, my mother really liked it too. 

**Environment:** Not far from Kayabacho Station Exit 3. There are many convenience stores nearby, and even a supermarket next door. 

**Service:** Excellent, I really liked it.

I felt like I was given the wrong room. It was listed as 16m², but it felt nothing like the 16m² rooms I've stayed in at Osaka hotels. This hotel room is genuinely tiny, feeling more like 14m². I could only open one suitcase.

The service was good; they offer free luggage storage, and the front desk staff was excellent. The environment was also pleasant, with fresh air throughout the hotel. Do note that the lobby is underground. The nearest subway station is a bit of a walk.

They only empty the trash and replace towels daily; full room cleaning is only done every three days. The duvet was quite small and uncomfortable to sleep with, but the bed itself was very soft and comfortable.

If you don't mind the small space, I'd generally recommend it. However, I really feel like the front desk gave me the wrong room. Mine was so small, completely incomparable to what I've experienced in Osaka.

Not too far from the subway, a perfectly acceptable walking distance. If you're going to Ginza, I recommend staying here. Other areas might be a bit far. It's in an office building district, so it's relatively quiet, not as noisy as tourist areas. Every time I go to Japan, I choose places like this – a bit away from the popular spots, but still conveniently located near the subway. The hotel offers a free happy hour in the afternoon, and the service is quite good. The price is also very nice, although the room is indeed quite small. However, the hotel itself is not small; it has a lot of rooms.

The location is very convenient. Although it's a few minutes' walk, there are many subway stations nearby, so it's not tiring even with luggage. The front desk is great and offers luggage storage. The hotel is clean, quite spacious, and offers excellent value for money. They even provided samples of Sekkisei, which I'm now interested in buying!

The location is good, with a university nearby. It's about a three to five-minute walk from Jimbocho Station's A2 exit. The hotel entrance is on a corner, and there's a 7-Eleven right across the street, which is super convenient. Check-out is at 11 AM. I booked a king-size bed, which was very large, though the hallways, as is common in Japan, are quite narrow. A 28-inch suitcase can be opened if laid sideways. The lobby has a lounge area with water and coffee, as well as disposable towels. Upon check-in, you receive pajamas, free drip coffee, and toiletries. If you're staying multiple nights and need housekeeping, you must notify the front desk before 10 AM. Even if you're a minute late, they won't clean your room, at most they'll just empty the trash bin. The room was very clean, and overall, I'm very satisfied.

The heated floor tiles in the large public bath were wonderfully comfortable, emanating a pleasant warmth from below. I also tried the bedrock bath, and I realized why it was so hot after forgetting to lay down a towel. The exhaust fan, air conditioning, and refrigerator were all incredibly quiet, and the electric kettle felt very high-quality.

However, the toiletries were quite poor, including the shampoo, conditioner, showerhead, and hairdryer.

This is my second time staying here. It's really convenient, quite close to both JR Sannomiya and Hankyu Sannomiya stations. Right next to the hotel there's a really well-stocked Hankyu OASIS supermarket, which is super handy for groceries. The hotel rooms are clean, and they offer complimentary tea and drinks from afternoon till evening, plus there's a happy hour.
