"The room was overall very clean, facilities also looked very brand-new. However, given the fact that it's a typical japanese hotel, the room was very small. Also, the staff did not quite seem to understand or be able to communicate in fluent english."

"Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The hotel room was small but in Tokyo what else can you expect. The bathroom was very clean as was the rest of the place. It does the job very well especially if you plan on spending most of your time exploring the city. It's right in the heat of shinju..."

"Once you get over the fact that this is Japan, and not the US, and therefore not everything is gigantic... The room was clean, well organized for a small space, and it's really close to a lot of food options and public transit which in a couple stops brings you to the majority of tourist attracti..."

"The hotel and room are actually quite good - clean, modern and new-ish, with good amenities. Other than being a bit on the small side (standard Japanese business hotel size), my only complaint is (maybe) the location, which is a bit far from public transportation. "

"A bit outside central Tokyo, but the location is very good because it is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, supermarket, and right next to a subway station. Hotel was very good overall, staff was good but a bit confused. I would recommend this hotel."

"The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The café has a great selection of beers, but a bit pricey. We stayed in one of the traditional Japanese rooms. We got to sleep on futons on the floor. We loved it. The hotel itself isn't glitzy or fancy, but it's a great value for the money. It is cl..."

"Stayed one night before jumping on the monorail back to the airport very early. The hotel was very convenient, nothing fancy but a great place to bed down. We asked for a room on a high floor and got one w an amazing view of Tokyo Tower. We'd stayed at fancier hotels which had charged us much mor..."

Things to see in Tokyo
Senso-ji Temple is Tokyo’s largest and oldest Buddhist temple, and entry is free of charge. It also contains Asakusa Shrine, dedicated to the temple’s founders, and now one of Tokyo’s top attractions. Another sight worth checking out is Shibuya Crossing. At this famous junction, shoppers, business people, locals, and tourists heave together, waiting for the lights to all turn red simultaneously. It’s a Tokyo tradition to get lost in the famous “scramble” as everyone crosses the road at the same time. Take a walk round Yoyogi Park, a meeting place for all sorts of clubs and social groups, to see colorful hip hop dancers and rockabilly music gangs hanging out. Admission to the park is free and bikes can be rented for further exploration. For the best low-cost nightlife in Tokyo, head to the Golden Gai, where 6 interwoven alleyways teem with 200 shanty-style bars, nightclubs, and food joints.

Where to stay in Tokyo
Asakusa is the center of the traditional shitamachi, or low city. This walkable neighborhood is where old Japan best survives. Stay here to be surrounded by temples, traditional food, and a more homey, residential atmosphere. The area around Ueno Park is also popular for cheap hotels in Tokyo. Home to iconic cherry blossom trees, several museums, and even a zoo, this stunning public park allows you to experience the city’s unique natural beauty. Shinjuku is the center of the city’s bustling nightlife and entertainment, so choose a hotel here to be close to the action, with some of the best restaurants in Tokyo right on your doorstep.
How to get to Tokyo
Tokyo has two airports. Narita is the most-used for international flights, but Haneda is closer to the city, so keep an eye out for connecting flights. From Haneda you can be downtown in just 15 minutes by train. From Narita, this will take about 1 hour, but cheaper trains run to Nippori and Ueno in around 1.5 hours. The Super Shuttle bus also goes to Ueno and Asakusa and is a great budget option. Buses and trains connect to all of Japan’s major cities also, and Tokyo’s metro system is one of the best in the world for city travel.
