Find the Best Tokyo Hotels

I have to say I was excited and looked forward to my stay. At the end. I don’t think it was worth it. And it was because of what Hoshinoya Tokyo is, it is a ryokan, not a hotel, and it is a Japanese chain. It was not imbued with the spirit of providing utmost comfort and pampering to its guest. It is more focused on the onsen, the Japanese culture, and the provision of daily meals. 

It is not where you should stay to hear a lot of Yes. No concierge service, so they won’t help you get a reservation because they provide meals in the ryokan (which hotel doesn’t?). No early check in or courtesy late check out. If you want to check out late, it’s 9,000 JPY per hour - even when it doesn’t cost the hotel anything. No currency exchange service. If you want to order meals, you have to place the order the day before. No bathrobe provided, and when asked, first they said they didn’t have them, then they provided but warned me I should only wear them inside the room (I don’t remember a time in my life when I wore bathrobe walking around any hotel), and that since the quantity was limited, they would not change the bathrobe during my stay - it all sounded like a conversation I would have with my school principal, one that was not so friendly.

The fancy picture of the centerpiece which flooded Instagram was one place on the hallway, first floor, where we took off our shoes before entering the hotel. Reception is on the second floor, and the interior was a mixed in style, I don’t know how to call it. It was dated and furnished with uncomfortable sofas and chairs. We and other guests were not allowed to checked in until 3 pm (regardless whether a room was available) so we could see several parties, some with small children hanging out on those sofas like at a train station. Not all of us can time our flight to arrive at the hotel at exactly 3 pm, so it was a tiresome wait during which we were provided with one cup of tea per person the whole time. After that long wait, the welcome ritual with snacks at the lounge on our floor became quite pointless. We already did not feel welcomed. Service at Hoshinoya Tokyo was also not great and definitely not 5 star. As a guest pointed out, it’s difficult to get to the entrance via taxi. The basement entrance was dark. Room cleaning was not reliable - we left the room for 3 hours in the morning, came back at 1 pm and the room was not cleaned. But if you stayed in (which well, what you are supposed to do at a ryokan), they wouldn’t go in to clean or even asked if you wanted the room to be cleaned. On such a day, I asked if I could get new towels when we left for dinner, the staff said yes, but nothing happened when we came back and no follow up call to let us know why. There’s no view from our room (executive room at the corner). The hotel is surrounded by other taller buildings. When we opened the window screen, we could see people from the other building office and they could see us. It’s all grayish. 

 Staying at a ry

Not perfect but we loved our stay here. We had two king rooms that while small were nicely appointed, and aesthetically sufficient for our needs. I will say that if you travel with Full sized suitcases then this isn’t the place for you. Some wall hooks and a shelf would have been a nice edition but we made do with what we had available in the space. We booked two rooms, the second room was for our 14 and 11 year olds. I asked two months ahead of time for the rooms to be near each other and they placed us on separate floors, not ideal. Other families had rooms next to each other so I know it’s possible. But we made it work. The restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner and the daytime cafe/nighttime cafe was awesome as well. The location of this hotel is outstanding. Super close to shibuya dining, shopping, entertainment, and the train but in a special calm little nook. It always felt great to return . I will say that you’re kind of on your own here. Checkin/out was completed on a kiosk and while there are always people in the “lobby” I was never actually sure who worked there. Checkout/in time can be pretty chaotic as it seems most people store their luggage In The lobby. But none of this would stop me from staying there again. This was our first time in Tokyo and having now been around the city I’m glad we chose Shibuya to stay in. Definitely glad I didnt pick a place in shinjuku!

Brand hotels live relatively safe, clean and tidy, the rooms are relatively large, although the location is partial, but the hotel has a subway bus connection is also convenient.

This was my first trip to Tokyo and I picked the hotel based on other reviews regarding the location and the staff. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You can add the cost of breakfast to your stay and eat at the cafe attached to the hotel. I did this for one day and had the best America-style pancake. I booked a single room, and as I expected, it was economical in space, but the space was not wasted. The bed was comfortable. Pajamas and slippers are provided. The hotel is convenient to a couple of different train stations, but the Kanda station is the closest (I found the other station accidentally when I went right instead of left and got lost. Oops). I would definitely stay here again.

Tokyo DIAMOND HOTEL (Diamond Hotel) is located not far from the Banyanmen Subway Station, and because it is located in a quiet residential area, it is not too noisy to enter and leave the hotel in the morning and evening. There is a large wooden table at the entrance, with a table lamp, tea bag, phone, and a teapot and refrigerator under the table that can boil hot water. The sound insulation in the room is OK, the only downside is that the floor is a blanket not a common tile in the hotel. If you have the opportunity to renovate the hotel, it is recommended to change to a tile floor. Although it is more difficult to clean, the mood of the tenant will be very pleasant from check-in to leave!

I booked for 2 consecutive nights. The entrance and front desk were fashionable, but the room was small and there was no TV, table, sofa or water heater. It may be okay for people who just sleep, but it is not suitable for people who want to relax in the room. You can use a water heater and a TV tuner, but I will go to the front desk to get it. The cup is given a paper cup. Even if you put a TV tuner on it, the image quality is bad and you can't see the screen. There is no place to put the water heater, and it is put in the space above the bed as an outlet and boils it. There is no sofa, so sit on the bed and drink with a paper cup. The toilet paper in the toilet is too bad to take. It was written that the concept was simply cut off, but it was too inconvenient. The only quality of towels, soaps and slippers was good. On the first night, I thought it was noisy because people were talking all the time in the corridor, but it continued for a long time, so when I looked at the situation, it was the voice of the next room. You can understand what you are talking about and you can hear the laughter clearly. I tried to put up with it and go to bed, but the noise of the car was noisy and I couldn't sleep because it continued until after 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I had an important business the next day, so I called the front desk in the middle of the night. It's too noisy to sleep at all, so can you change the room? The man at the front desk said that the room was unfortunately full and could not be changed. And light 々. I stayed for consecutive nights, so I told him that I would like to change it at least tomorrow. Then tell the staff the same content tomorrow morning. I was told. What? ?? !! !! Will this tell the same content again? ?? Isn't it your job to tell it? ?? I thought, but I understood because it couldn't be helped. I answered. After all, it was noisy and I couldn't sleep at all due to the sound of cars on the road. I can only hear the sound from the next room, and it echoes so much that there is no sound from any other room, so I think it wasn't full, and even though the noise is so terrible, did you put the room next to each other? The next morning, I explained the same thing to the front desk again and asked them to change the room. I ordered coffee at the front desk in the morning and brought it to my seat, but there is no milk or sugar, do you have milk? Milk is near the cash register and is self-service! !! The female staff strongly told me. No, then you should say it first when you order ... And do you need to say so strongly? The room on the second day was on the other side of the road. It was a very quiet room. So, on the contrary, what kind of nerve it was to make guests staying for consecutive nights into a noisy roadside room ... Moreover, this was the worst yesterday because I couldn't sleep, but for example, for an apology, Make it a slightly larger room. There is no correspondence such as. As usual, the room was small and inconvenient, and it was quiet, but it was a difficult room to use. I was very disappointed with the hotel stay because I couldn't follow the room on the second day with satisfactory response to the troubles and complaints on the first day, and regretted that I chose it as an inn for consecutive nights at this hotel. I am.

The location is really good, coupled with the good maintenance after the new renovation, the overall facilities are really good. It's just that the room size is a bit not particularly spacious. Hygiene: The room hygiene is no problem. Environment: In the surrounding square, countless people come to check in and take photos. You can see it when you open the curtains in the morning. Service: Needless to say, really good.

In terms of transportation and location, you can take JR from Narita Station to Kinshicho Station near the hotel without changing lines. The express train will arrive in 1.3 hours, and the fare is half the price of Skyliner. Exit JR and walk along the street for 5 minutes to the hotel entrance, passing by a large shopping mall (12 floors high, containing a large supermarket, GU, Daiso, restaurants...). Opposite the hotel are Donki, Lawson, 7-11, Aeon supermarket, many yakiniku restaurants, and ramen shops, so you don't have to worry about running out of food. JR is an isolated Z line subway station. The double railway is very convenient to get out. It is only one station away from the Skytree on the subway. It is very close to Asakusa and Tokyo (taking JR). The hotel is one of the Disney-friendly hotels and has a free shuttle bus directly to the park. Entering the room on the 19th floor, the view is amazing😍. It faces the Skytree. There are lights at night. In conjunction with the nearby low-rise buildings, it feels like going to the observation deck to enjoy the night view. The dining environment for breakfast is comfortable and there are many choices of food. The staff are polite and will nod when they meet.

Until 3 days ago, the FS on Koh Samui was in a terrible eye. This time, the master's medal (the smallest medal) was the Imperial Palace, and the ceremony was Chinzanso Tokyo. ”I want to go to the Grand Hyatt club because it's okay to be early in the morning １” Darling pinched Da 々 Now the hotel price in Japan is soaring, so I can't get a hand, so I can't get a hand. Point accommodation ２ ２０ year for the first time in a year Staying at Grand Hyatt I loved without it. After all it calms down. Mahogany (Kana) Granite. High-quality space that is not gorgeous. Beauty of lighting. I don't feel the age of 20 years old this year. It's great to return to your appearance. The artistic pool is a waste. In the last few years, the plane has not flew in Corona. I have stayed at a domestic color 々 hotel. There are various hotels that do not match. But my husband, ”Why do you like Grand Hyatt?” I wondered if it was the number one in Tokyo, the number one in Japan, the number one in the world, ”Well, so I don't think I'm satisfied wherever I stay.” (I like Mr. Aman too) The club lounge was overseas without passports because the customer base returned. Thank you for taking a lot of pictures of all the Bell staff. There is a dignified air in Ray, and everyone at the Grand Club, I swelled my stomach to the fullest in the club lounge (this time it was 20 years １ delicious). When did you lose money? Thank you for your wonderful memories. This time, I took a commemorative photo from Mr. S tudio S. Thank you for your wonderful professional work. It became a dreamy commemorative photo. Thanks to everyone, the best. １ It's a day. It's been a day. It's been a day. It's been a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day. It's a day.

Location: 1) It's 5 mins ride from Ginza , taxi is about 880 to 12xx yen depends on timing so if you have a few people travelling , taking taxi is a good option. 2)It has 2 metro stations nearby with very short walk. I tried to google actual view for the walk before ibarrived japan and it felt like much longer than it actually is. Both stations are just around the cornor. Daimon station is on Asakusa line, and Onarimon station on Toei Mita line. 3) Many convenience stores nearby and 2 are particularly almost just next to the building with less than a hubdred steps walk i bet. 4) Many eatery around the area too, if ypu are willing to walk down for 10 to 15mins to shinbashi direction, it's a full street of resturants and drinking places run until late. 5) We rented a car for a few days for our driving trip. The hotel offers 24 hrs parking (no hourly rate option although they have the price, guess that hourly price is for dine in customers) for arpund 2500 yen but there are a few open public carpark just outside the hotel where you can park your car for just 500 yen as maximum between 1900 to 0800 ( its perfect for us as we go back late n go out early everyday) The premise: 1) Not the newest but very well maintained, clean and neat 2) It's extremely close to Tokyo tower, you can take close shot of it when you walk back to hotel. We stayed in even number room which is not facing Tokyo tower side so i bet the Odd number rooms would be able to see it from their window😉 3) There's free nespresso coffee machine at check in lobby, we fueled ourselves with it every morning before we start our joruney of the day 4) Rooms are small but very well design with good utilisation of spaces 5) We booked a 3 bedder room with bunk beds , my kid loves it and got very excited running up and down every night. The bed is with mostly round cornors which is a nice detail that a mom who travel with kid wpuld appriciate 6) Although the rooms are small but they have a reading room on each floor where you can have some private quiet time for yourself if you need so, and the lobby has plenty of comfortable setting where you can bring your computer to work or i think its a great idea when we saw a group of friends drinking there too. Improvement recommendation: 1) There are 3 shelves in the bathroom , top is for brushing cups, it's better to add something at the edge or a tray to avoid falling of cup as when it's wet , it's easy to slide down. I broke one 😅 as im not tall and the cups were one next to each other, so it's quite easy to have accident breaking it 2) The hotel website can add transportation to and from the 2 airports and other popular destinations as the location is really not bad. It's very helpful for those who are looking at the hotel to make up their mind. 3) The website can also show some reference for taxi cost going to nearby popular tourist destinations for reference of distance , that makes the hotel a more tourist friendly option. Conclusion: I would recommend the hotel and stay there again.
