Top Tokyo Hotel Reviews

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and very go area"

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing, I have no complaints the hotel is on a good area not that far of a walk to the train station, there is a family mart across the street for late night snacks. The room was amazing but the bed was alittle hard but doable to slept on harder mattress so still not complaining. 10 out of 10 would and already have recommended. Also the restaurant down stairs is amazing!!"

Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in Ikebukuro. Hotel well placed from JR Station. Room was really nice. It was clean, had a great view from the 21st floor and was well maintained with daily housekeeping. Staff was very helpful. I didn't have a lot of questions, but when I did they were very attentive. I would define stay here again."

Apa Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled solo and stayed here for about a week, and I would definitely recommend this hotel! The location is extremely convenient, especially with the train station nearby, making it easy to get just about anywhere. Whether you’re looking to explore shopping areas, try different restaurants, or enjoy the nightlife, everything is easily accessible. The rooms were cleaned regularly, and I had absolutely no issues with cleanliness or housekeeping throughout my stay. The hotel also offered great amenities and had pretty much everything I needed. One thing to keep in mind is the spa’s tattoo policy. If you have tattoos, especially larger ones or multiple tattoos, you may not be able to use the spa. They do provide small stickers to cover tattoos, but those won’t be much help if you’re heavily tattooed. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay! The convenience, cleanliness, and overall experience made it a great choice for a solo traveler. I would definitely stay here again!"
