Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Narita Tobu Hotel Airport

8/10 Good

"Close to airport. Also within walking distance and took about 15 mins. Bus is well used and takes time for loading and stopping at different terminals. Walking was a good option for us."

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early and staff was able to hold our bags for us until check in time. The check in process was very easy. The room was a little small but had all the amenities we needed. The laundry room was a very nice addition. The property was very close to the subway station. Lots of dining available near the property, we did not eat at any of the hotel restaurants but they did have 4 or 5. There is also a family mart across the street which was very convenient. When we checked out they were able to hold our bags for us for a few hours while we went and got breakfast. Very nice hotel I would definitely recommend."
