Shinagawa Prince Hotel

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.

Outstanding Location, nice hotel for value

First off, the location couldn't be better. Right across the 2nd busiest train station in Tokyo; Shinagawa Station. You can take the train from NRT to the hotel ranging from approx $10 to $30 or the Limo Bus for $30. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and always willing to help with all my queastions regarding local attractions. The room we were given was small for american standards but comfortable enough for two people. What did it for us was the view of Mt. Fuji from our room and the fact that the dolphin pool was just below our window as well. We had two excellent views. Many restaurants, including a 7-11 store within the hotel complex and very nice souvenirs store inside the hotel. English newspaper every morning, tea and the room made up in a matter of minutes every morning. In fact, we were so pleased with everything that decided to stay an extra night. The hotel even honored hotels.com rate. I'm planning another trip to the region with a stop in Tokyo on the return and will stay at Shinagawa Prince Hotel or its sister hotel next door, Grand Prince Hotel-Takanawa. Highly recommended!!!

great price for the quality of the room

It is a huge twin tower hotel, the size of a mega resort in Las Vegas. Paid a bit extra for a newly renovated double room which turned out to be ultra modern, top floor and included an HD TV,city view, European style furniture, automatic toilet plus included internet. Front desk help seemed a bit cold but could be from the high flow of visitors. The shinagawa train station is one block away. FYI ( metro daily pass will not work on this station). I had a great 4 day stay on this hotel and recommend it as an almost 4 star hotel.

Great Hotel for first timers

My wife and I stayed here for three nights on our first trip to Tokyo. Based on another review, I paid a little extra for the "Main Tower High Floor Renovated Double" and was not disappointed. The room was a LITTLE tight with our bags and stuff in the way but the bed was extremely comfortable (a friend stayed in the Annex tower at the same time and said her bed was "hard as a rock.") The rate included high speed internet and when you sign-on there's a screen saying you accept a charge for access however there's a laminated sheet in the room with directions for the internet and it states you will not be charged (we checked out with no problem). The bathroom was great...my wife loved the heated toilet seat with bidet settings. The shower had great pressure and lots of hot water. You can waive getting your room cleaned for a certificate to use in the hotel restaurants or convenience store. As others have stated, the hotel is part of complex with a 7-11, McDonald's, and other shops. Shinagawa station, second busiest in the city, is directly across the street and gives you access to the JR and bullet trains (think a commuter station). You can walk 10 minutes through the streets behind the hotel (going up the hill) to get to Takanawadai station of the Tokyo/Toei Subway (Asakusa line).

Excellent Hotel and Excellent Location

Stayed at the hotel twice-Once in East Tower and once in Main Tower. Stayed in the high floor renovated rooms in the Main Tower this time. Excellent room. Bigger than the East Tower and certainly bigger than described. Excellent location-right across from the JR Line. Staff was polite and customer service oriented. Though, staff doesn't speak English well; then again, most in Tokyo don't speak English well either. Excellent shops and restaurants in and around the hotel. Everything in Japan is expensive so hotel prices are reasonable in comparison. Room was very warm because heater was on. Can't open window to get fresh or cool air so only option was to turn off heat vent. Tips: take the airport limo bus, which drops you off at and picks you up from hotel. avoid the expense of going to tokyo city view. go to the tokyo muni bldg instead and it's free.

Nice!

Staying at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo

I love this hotel because it is so convenient to get from one place to another. The train station is across from the hotel, shops are within walking distance as are the restaurants of all types from your fast foods to fine dining, from traditional Japanese food to American and other restaurants. The hotel itself provides bus transportation to and from the airport, Narita and Haneda, convenience stores are in the main lobby or close to it. While in Tokyo I recommend the Shinagawa Prince Hotel to anyone.
