Top Natural History Museum and Institute Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to find from Terminal 3 and very nice hotel."

Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous place to stay. So convenient to many shops and the local train station. Breakfast was really great and a good selection of foods for everyone. Really loved the relaxation area where you can sit and chill in the afternoon and evening with family and have complimentary beer, wine, other assorted drinks and lollies, especially for kids. The free Disney shuttle is so convenient and runs often in both directions. We would definitely recommend the Oriental Hotel."

Narita Tobu Hotel Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Tobu hotel was older yet clean and very convenient. Super close to the airport and many shuttles back and forth. We will always stay there. Also on the property is a Lawsons convenience store"

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful experience. Staff were amazing! Breakfast buffet was fully compatible with our celiac family members and delicious. Would highly recommend and stay again."

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo-ariake

10/10 Excellent

"We were attending a show at Ariake Arena, so the location was perfect."

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"The room and the hotel was fine for staying. But the room had a dust issue with the AC where the more air you used the more dust blew out. For the fans settings. The amenities like a microwave, washing machines, and vending machines were inconveniently placed in the basement. The fact that the hotel has all floors above the forth be elevator only with only three elevators going above the 18th floor meant wait times were extremely long, and the other guests increasingly frustrated. The staff were amazing and most spoke English well and for the price it was an okay stay but I think they should place the amenities like the vending machines and such on the same floor as the the Lawson's. Or at least add something to each floor. I did like the bed, it was firm and despite the dust problem the AC was nice. The tv options were bad though. Their selection for watchable things had barely anything in English with zero English subtitles. The screen sharing feature for their TVs was also terrible quality streaming strength. However the wifi quality was nice and per room, so you weren't sharing with other guests which was nice. I didn't try the in place restaurant Bec it was ¥3900+ per adult which was far too expensive when I could just go to the station for cheaper food. I did like my stay however despite my gripes."

Asakusa Tobu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay with a room that faced the Tokyo Skytree! The hotel was clean and well run. While breakfast was busy after 730 AM, the offerings were solid and tasty and you could avoid the rush by going right at open (6:30 AM). The hotel location is well situated with easy access to shopping, and points of interest. Staff were all attentive and polite. Truly no complaints!"

The Royal Park Hotel Maihama Resort Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean overall. Good size room and 24 hr convenience store in lobby area. Shuttle services to and from Disneyland, Disney Sea and train station."

Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and perfect location between the 2 x Disneyparks. A short 5 minute walk to the Disney Monorail which was perfect for our small family. Great sized room and lots of internal space. Extra points for the beautiful atrium design of the hotel - something you dont see alot of anymore. Would recommend to others!"
