Top Natural History Museum and Institute Hotel Reviews

Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama

8/10 Good

"Hotel in general was good, close to Disney,clean and staff very helpful. Breakfast was great but the only think I did not like is that you had to reserve your table before you go eat. Where they gave you a QR that is not available until that morning (6:30am)when you supposed to go have breakfast."

Narita Tobu Hotel Airport

8/10 Good

"The property was amazing, wish the gym and pool was open in the am and not in the evening but was a good hotel close to the airport"

Toyoko Inn Narita Airport Honkan

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Nice staff. Onsite convenience store."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This time our triple room had enough space to open 2-big suitcases plus had a small table and 2-chairs but we didn’t have space to open the suitcase when we stayed previous trip. P"

Toyoko Inn Narita Airport Shinkan

10/10 Excellent

"The amenities in the room are fantastic. They even have free toothbrushes for you to use and small single use toothpaste tubs."

The Royal Park Hotel Maihama Resort Tokyo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"As a family of four visiting Tokyo Disney, we really appreciated the convenience, spacious room, and little extra touches that made our stay so comfortable. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle from Maihama station, unfortunately, there wasn’t one operating when we arrived around 1:30 PM. We decided to walk to the hotel instead. It’s definitely doable if you don’t mind getting your steps in! There’s also free shuttle service to and from Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland, and DisneySea that runs every 15 minutes. Our room was VERY spacious and clean! 4 twin beds with plenty of room to spread out and relax. Toilet in a separate room from the stand-up shower, bathtub, and powder room. It made getting everyone ready so much easier! The hotel restaurant, The Compass, serves a breakfast buffet. Lawson located on 1st floor, open 24hrs. Laundry room included 10 washer/dryer combo machines. The staff were patient, friendly, and welcoming; greeted guests as they entered or exited hotel. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay! Between the spacious room, family-friendly amenities, convenient shuttle service, and genuinely welcoming staff, this hotel was a great choice for our Disney trip. I would 100% stay here again and definitely recommend it to families visiting Tokyo Disney! ❤️"
