Shinagawa Prince Hotel

Location, Location, Location

We chose this hotel because it was very close to the JR Line AND was listed on the Viator Tour Group list of hotels they would pick up at. It also had a bus to take us to the Narita Airport at the end of our trip. It was so easy to get around from this hotel. Yes, the rooms were small, but very nice and very clean. At the last minute my son decided to join us and he had a room in the annex that was also very nice. There were plenty of restaraunts in the hotel and nearby. Would definately reccomend this hotel.

North Tower a disappointment

The location of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel being conveniently located right next to the Tokyo Shinagawa Station was great. However the accommodations in the North Tower were very disappointing. To be taken in through the front lobby of the beautiful main tower and then brought to "back" of the property to what I would consider to be a mere business hotel was very disappointing. The room was very, very small, and conditions of the room were left to be desired. There was actually mildew and mold in the bathroom. For a Prince Hotel, I had exptected much more. I would hope that the conditions of the Main Tower rooms are better than the North Tower. I may consider staying there in the future, but never again in the North Tower.

Great Location for the money

The Shinagawa Prince Hotel is great hotel that is located on the JR Rail line. We stayed at the MAIN TOWER, there are other towers along with an Annex tower and attached building that will amazed you in many ways. I want to label this hotel a resort rather than what it claims to be. We stayed in the main tower in the 30s (non-smoking). Great view of the city (without selecting the option) and the parking lot and the aquarium beneath. The rooms are rather cozy compare to what you would expect in the US, but it is ultilized efficiently. Bed linen were spotless, room service was awesome (no tip required as the Japanese don't take tips, although that is starting to change now). The bathroom is a bit small, but you wont find a bigger bathroom in Japan. The restaurant in the hotel is suprisingly cheap compared to what you pay outside, but $ = quality. There are 7 different sections of Japanese, so you could never be bored of the same scene. (yes, they offer Kobe beef there for 10k yen) There are buffets of chinese cuisine in the upper fl, and a buffet in the lobby for a fair price (didnt try their food however). There is a Mcdonalds around the corner, a couple of local spots and a food market across the street that might satisfy your stomach for a few meals. Amenities; NO gym in the hotel. There is a swimming pool as mentioned, closed at 9p. There is an aquarium underneath the hotel for a low fee (discount for guest at the hotel). There are tennis courts, a golf range indoor across from the parking lot. There is a movie theater attached to the hotel. Also, there is a roller coaster beneath the hotel. (no joke, for 1000yen each ride) Overall, the hotel is great for the price, great location. Just had an awesome experience.

Not bad

I stayed in the East Tower, which is not nearly as nice as the North Tower, but it is not that bad. The room is very small and has probably the smallest bathroom I have ever seen, but is was very clean. The downside to staying in the East Tower (besides the size) is that the internet access is pretty expensive, about 1000 yen/day. The only other complaint that I have with this hotel is that they advertise a pool, but the pool costs money to use too, it's not free. The great thing about this hotel is that it is right across the street from the train station. There is a nice food market in the train station and plenty of restaurants around the hotel. I really enjoyed the hotel's sky bar which has an amazing view of the city. If you are looking for a cheap and convenient hotel in Tokyo, this is not a bad choice.

Good hotel for the money

We got a deal by staying an extra day. Rooms in the north tower are small, but served the purpose. All we really did was sleep there. The hotel has plenty of amenities if you need them. The hotel is across from the train station, which is convenient, but the subway station is about a 15 minute walk the other direction.

Outstanding in the Main Tower, not the East Tower

Be sure you stay in the Main Tower, far superior to the East Tower

Plaza Comfort, 37th Floor

For the last leg of our Tokyo/Kyoto trip, we came back to Tokyo for a few days and stayed at the Shinagawa Prince. A popular hotel for foreign and domestic travelers alike, we were unexpectedly pleased with the room, the service, and the location next to the JR Shinagawa Station. Not only that, the view from our 37th Floor room was impeccable, with nearly the entire Tokyo skyline in view. The Plaza Comfort room was very clean, though a bit smaller than expected. That's not enough to knock any rating off the Shinagawa Prince, however, because all the amenities they provide easily exceeded my expectations. When in Tokyo and you need a good, central location with access to the Shinkansen and major local lines, I would highly recommend the Shinagawa Prince. For the price, you have no idea just how much you're getting--and that's a great thing to discover when you finally arrive.

Convenient and useful for business stay

I find this hotel useful For clean, no-frill, convenient, short-term stay in Tokyo. The location works for me well and I am OK wih the no-frill service and breakfast facilities. Does not have GYM, SPA or other such facilities which I am OK with, as I usually go for jogging around the residentail neighborhood near the hotel.

Great location and rooms

We spent 9 nights in Tokyo. We stayed on the 35th floor of the main tower. The rooms are remodeled and clean. They are very small - just big enough for two people but fine. The beds are comfortable. We had free internet access. The location is terrific - right across from the JR train station. All major stops are within a 10-15 minute ride (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shimashi, Tokyo, etc). The restaurants around the area are good. Our two favorites were the izakaya next to the bowling alley and the dinner buffet @ Luxe.

Great place for the money

Great location and good accomodation overall for this price in the downtown Tokyo.
