Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel Metropolitan Edmont was an amazing choice to stay in Japan, eapecially for a solo traveler. The rooms were the perfect size for one person, cleaned daily, had a good stock of water bottles that was replenished every day, fresh towels, and the staff kept you up to date on things like windowcleanings and changing your sheets (they would do it on request or every 3 days by default). I was on the 11th floor and never felt like it was difficult getting up and down the floors every time I'd keave and come back. I also had an amazing veiw of downtown Tokyo from my window! The hotel is located just a few blocks away from 2 metro stations making it super easy to get to places like Asakusa, Shibuya, and Tokyo Station super quick. There's also plenty of restaurants, several convenience stores (including a Family Mart right ght iutside the front door that's open 24 hours a day) and a really good coffee spot all within a short walk from the hotel. The check-in process was super easy and smooth, as well as check-out. I didn't have the availability to use the amenities while I was there due to time constraints, but they offer things like a laundry room, several restaurants, aswell as room service. Overall, my experience at the Hotel Metropolitan Edmont was amazing and made my first trip to Japan seamless and a lot less stressfull!"

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Amazing hotel and staff. Very clean, air conditioning worked great. !!!Amazing location!!!!!! amazing restaurant, most definitely would recommend and stay here again. The ONLY con would be the elevator situation. Some days it would take me 10 min just to get up to my room. It was a nightmare"

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo - Shiodome

8/10 Good

"The Villa Fontaine is clean, fairly well located and friendly. We stayed here almost ten years ago and the breakfast options were much better then. Their cooked breakfast remains good but the fruit and pastries are very disappointing. But still…you can walk to Ginza and the glorious chaos of the area around Shimbashi station is fun."

Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Value with Spectacular Skytree Views Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo offers some of the best value for your money. If you are arriving from Narita Airport, the Airport Limousine Bus takes you directly to the hotel for approximately ¥3,100, which is both convenient and reasonably priced. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle buses to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. The nighttime view of Tokyo Skytree, the world’s tallest tower, is absolutely spectacular. Complimentary bottled water is provided in the room each day, along with quality toiletries, body wash, and shampoo. The beds are medium firm and comfortable. Even the elevators are exceptionally smooth and quiet. You can barely feel them moving between floors. The breakfast buffet is well worth it. It includes freshly made omelettes, bacon, sausages, fries, rice, steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, bread for toast, miniature croissants, cereals, tofu, candied yams, smoked salmon, and a wide selection of coffees, teas, and juices. The hotel’s other restaurants are also very good. The location is excellent. There is a 7 Eleven directly across the street, a shopping mall about 200 metres away, and Kinshicho Station is only a short walk from the hotel. Sumida City feels safe and has plenty to see and do. There is also a laundromat around the corner that is open 24 hours. This is a great place to stay during a Tokyo vacation. It offers convenience, comfort, excellent transportation options, and one of the best views."
