Top Natural History Museum and Institute Hotel Reviews

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is great and kind. The breakfast here is a must try at least once. Even if you didn’t book breakfast with your booking. You can pay whenever you want to try it. Close to a train station. Quiet and calm neighborhood with near by local restaurants. Easy travel to Tokyo Disney and very family friendly environment."

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

10/10 Excellent

"I can't really say that the hotel is directly connected to Terminal 3 as you have to walk through the garden shopping area to get to the hotel. It's a quite walk I should say. Didn't use Onsen, Gym, or any of the restaurant so no comment on those. There are 2 Lawson right outside of the hotel."

Hotel Nikko Narita

10/10 Excellent

"Shuttle from airport was fast and easy to find, there’s a Lawsons on main floor for all snacks needed when you can’t sleep from time difference Mornings buffet was great too. At 7:30 we took a shuttle to Jr train station and easy walk to temple with lots of shops that opened on our walk back around 9 am Easily kill a few hours exploring and then get back on shuttle to hotel Room amenities were great too, robes, slippers, toothpaste, hairbrush, razors. Currency exchange with amazing rate too For Great hotel and gave us a great 1st morning experience"

Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a very convenient location for Disneyland and Disneysea. The room was bigger than we thought - we requested an extra bed (2 adults in one bed, 2 kids in one each) and actually ended up with a bed too many! The kids loved having a 'lounging' bed though. The hotel is huge. The ship on site had a few things to eat but selection was a bit limited. The pool area was something we were all looking forward to but was pretty disappointing. You pay to swim outside but it's small, and there were a lot of unexpected rocks so a few grazed knees and stubbed toes. The change rooms and inside pool area looked a bit tired and not very clean (musty, lots of pooled water). Overall a convenient stay though and great price."

Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here, would come again. It is so close to Disney and right next to a train station and shopping centre. The shuttle bus to Disney was very helpful. We also loved the snacks at the end of the day after returning from our adventures."

Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba

10/10 Excellent

"I just LOVE staying at Grand Nikko in Odaiba! Everything about it is just GREAT!"

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Shiodome

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel. Close to the train station"

The Royal Park Hotel Maihama Resort Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Never expect this hotel was so good and complete! they have shuttle to DisneyLand & DisneySea with their time schedule bus (make sure to remember the stop once you arrived at park). They also have a hidden gem: Lawson inside the hotel. So you won’t be worried starving at night. A little thing to improve I guess if you install a smart TV that can sign in to Netflix or YouTube generally."

Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, but the location is far from the city."
