Best Tokyo Hotels

"Perfect for a solo stay, the hotel is exceptionally clean and very quiet. The breakfast spread is plentiful, and shopping is incredibly convenient. A special shout-out to the drugstore right next to the hotel, which offers an extra discount for guests! You'll find a wide array of dining options, plenty of Japanese specialty craft shops, and a 24-hour convenience store nearby. This is my second time staying here, and it's super convenient for transit. Plus, there's even a lovely view from the room window!"

"Excellent hotel, convenient location. Fantastic breakfast. But we would NOT recommend it. Rooms very very small. Not suitable for a stay of more than 1 night. There is nowhere to sit and relax in this hotel."

"This is my second time staying at the Sunshine City Prince Hotel, and I really love this place. First off, the hotel's location is excellent. It's about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro subway station, making it very convenient for visiting various attractions. Secondly, the hotel is directly connected to the Sunshine City shopping mall, which is super convenient for both shopping and dining. Thirdly, there's a performance stage in the mall with boy bands performing almost daily, allowing me to easily catch live shows. The hotel rooms are also very nice, and they provide two complimentary bottles of mineral water every day. The hotel also offers a direct airport shuttle bus. You can book your ticket in advance at the front desk, and it costs 1400 JPY per person, which is incredibly convenient. I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Tokyo."

"What I love: Next to Lumine and Tobu departmental stores Kombini within hands reach Within 400m from Ikebukuro Metro Very committed staff, fantastic hospitality Rooms are clean & modern Breakfast buffet was pretty extensive What I do not love: Thin walls - no insulation from corridoor noise Smoking floors - although mine was a non-smoking room, I was initially checked into a smoking floor (bad smell lingered at the lift landing and corridor, to my horror), which I had then requested a change of rooms because the a/c blew out musky compromised air, and so my request for a change of rooms was done immediately without hesitation by the front desk. Avoid level 6 because that’s the smoking floor."

"Stayed here just for the 1 night before heading back home boooooo!!! Good stay, hotel clean but area outside is very busy and crowded, esp at night. It was a Sunday night and lots of drunks and people just hanging around 7eleven until the early hours of the morning. Dirty with litter at night but in true Japanese style, immaculately clean at the crack of dawn - Amazing!! Plenty of food options around, both restaurants and convenient stores. The Godzilla head was bigger than we expected, we couldn’t go outside to see it but close enough to be able to take photos. There’s self serve cold drinking water available as well as weighing scales in the lobby (handy as we def did some unexpected shopping) Walked to JR Shinjuku train station after check out catching the Narita Express, Google maps says a 15min walk but felt longer because of the heat and we had all our luggages. Manageable though."

"All procedures are streamlined, making checking in and out run quickly and smoothly. We got the type of room we asked for without a problem. There is also an excellent locker system for storing luggage. Very good location for several attractions we were interested in, as well as close to international cruise terminal. Several restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!"

"The room was quite spacious, and we found our 4-night stay very comfortable. The bed was also comfortable, not one of those overly soft types. The location was excellent, with FamilyMart and 7-Eleven stores conveniently located nearby. In fact, there's a 7-Eleven right on the ground floor of the hotel – it couldn't be more convenient! The hotel is very close to the subway station. You can easily walk to Shinjuku to catch a train, or take one from Tochomae Station. The hotel had quite a few international guests, and we were pleased to find a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk. The daily housekeeping was excellent, ensuring a very clean, pleasant, and comfortable stay."

"The room was great, clean, big, good aircon, international plugs. Great services, breakfast was very nice. Very well placed, 200m aways from the subway station . And of course amazing views of Tokyo. The only downside was the check in, you do it on an automatic machine that didn’t work well for us. In a fancy hotel like this, I would love to have a person in front of me instead of a machine."

"The hotel is very grand, featuring a spacious, elegantly decorated lobby with a distinctive centerpiece of purple-pink cockscomb flowers. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted by staff who took our luggage, escorted us to the front desk for check-in, and then delivered our bags to our room. The front desk staff were highly efficient, making both check-in and check-out incredibly fast. We had booked a room in the tower and were pleasantly surprised to be assigned a high-floor room with views of the Imperial Palace. Even though there's an elevated light rail line directly below with trains continuously passing, we only perceived minimal noise. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The buffet breakfast is served on the 17th floor, the top floor of the main building. While the selection wasn't extensive, it more than made up for it with delicious food, excellent service, and superb views. The hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance of Hibiya Park, the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Station, and Ginza. It's also about a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, which was perfect for a post-dinner stroll to digest. We had a truly delightful stay."

"The room was spacious, and the public areas were also very well-maintained. However, complimentary drinking water was not provided in the room; we had to go to the floor's water dispenser, which was a bit inconvenient. We didn't book breakfast as there were so many dining options available nearby. The hotel is very close to Shinjuku Station, easily accessible via the second-floor pedestrian deck, directly opposite Takashimaya – extremely convenient. The airport limousine bus stop is conveniently located right downstairs and is the first pick-up point. However, it then spends about 30 minutes going around to pick up other passengers, which feels like a wasted detour. Opting for the JR train or going to a different bus terminal yourself is also very straightforward and gets you to the airport in roughly 1.5 hours. Overall, the value for money wasn't particularly high, so I might explore other hotels in the vicinity on my next visit."
