izu is an old but well-maintained hotel around 15 minutes walk from ueno station which is very convenient as the station connects you to practically every part of tokyo. the area itself is quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of central tokyo but not totally devoid of shops and restaurants. ueno park and ameyoko shopping street is just around... more

My husband and I stayed at K's house Tokyo (and also K's house Kyoto) on our honeymoon. At K's house Tokyo we booked a double ensuite room. The room was spotlessly clean as were the shower and toilet facilities. The rooms are compact but cosy and ours included a television as well. Wireless internet was available for free at the... more

We reserved for the Shinjuku Star and paid for the whole stay in advance. We passed through Tokyo in our way to Kyoto (we were going to Tokyo and the "Star" afterwards) and we visited the Star Hotel: noisy, worn out, poor illumination, etc. It was quite unappealing and we rushed to a computer to cancel our reservation, even when... more

Stayed for 5 nights and was a great place to base ourselves for sightseeing in and around Tokyo. It is right next to the main station in Tokyo and is located very close to all the shops, restaurants and bars of Shinjuku. The rooms were quite small but the hotel was very good value. It was also extremely clean. I... more

Oh my G-d, the best sushi on this planet. Toro, botan ebi, anago, tai, aji, uni, kawahagi, hotate are great! more

This is one of several Intercontinental hotels in Tokyo, and is located near the Roppongi entertainment district. It is better known as the ANA. It has a subway station (tameike-sanno) on the Ginza line (colour coded yellow on transport maps and signs) almost outside but this not particularly helpful for reaching either Tokyo or Shinjuku stations which are the two... more

The Park Hyatt in NW district of Shinjuku is one of the grandest I have ever stayed with a high level of modern luxury and service, with price to match. We stayed three nights Friday 26-Monday 29 September 2008. Shinjuku is a smart district with wide road from Shinkuju station which is possibly the largest anywhere I have seen. Easy... more

We enjoyed our stay at New Izu Hotel. The room is small (as expected) but clean and comfortable. There is no wardrobe for clothes. The hotel is convenient located near the subway/train station - getting around to other places is easy. Since it is our first trip to Tokyo and arrived late at night, we had difficulty following the map... more

I have stayed at New Otani twice in 2008. On both occasions, it was for 3-4 days. The hotel is huge, and has a complex layout. On my first visit, I actually got lost and had to ask my way around. However, the staff is really efficient and helpful. They all speak English, so it wasn't a problem to find... more

Don't stay at the Grand Prince Akasaka. If you read no more of this review I have hopefully done my duty in protecting you from this hotel. The positives: the location is fine, close to the subways and 10-15mins walk from Roppongi. The staff are polite (this IS Japan...) (but see below re not being helpful at all). The negatives:... more

good price. reasonable sized room. great gym, pool and Japanese bath (but for extra money) and spectacularly cool toilet/bidets more

Excellent ramen for only JPY650 more

Reliable steak house at the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills. Open kitchen, you can select your cut of meat, nice sauces. Good wine selection, as well, including nice Washington/Oregon wines. more

I spent a week in this hotel with my boyfriend whilst we were on a tourist trip to Tokyo & what a fantastic bargain it is. We searched long & hard for a hotel only to be put off by the high prices. We booked the Hotel Asia directly with the hotel & for the price we paid we were... more

Booked into a 4 bedded room measuring approximately 50 square metres so there is adequate space with 2 bathrooms.Toiletries provided were more than adequate eg toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, facial foam, toner, lotion, soap, shaving cream, hair wax, hair cream, shaver, hair shampoo, conditioner, body shampoo. The Hotel is located near the subway, Tochomae Station on the Odeo line, so getting... more

I stayed at Ryokan Sawanoya for 5 nights in early August 2008. I booked a single Japanese-style room (no en suite bathroom) months in advance -- it is not a big place and very reasonably priced especially by Tokyo standards (I paid less than $80 per night). There are two shared baths available for around 4 hours in the morning... more

FABULOUS MUSEUM - DON'T MISS IT! See what it was like to live in Tokyo (Edo) in ancient days right up to WWII .. .. Easy to get to with a JR Line & Subway stop right at the museum .. .. And, there are ENGLISH-SPEAKING guides available when you enter the museum .. .. Our guide used to live... more

Very few 'perks' exist for active duty and retired military types nowadays but this one ranks right at the top. Well appointed decor, excellent staff, and great price/value. Convenient location for doing all the touristy things available in Tokyo. The hotel has a Tours Desk to help you decide what to do during your stay. The dining opportunities available at... more

I always stay in Asakusa when I visit Japan. This small town is by far my favourite location in all of Tokyo! This is in part due to the Sensoji temple. Morning, afternoon and evening. Whatever time you visit you are guarnteed to have a whole new experience when you visit. In the morning all the shops on the Nakamise... more
