HOTEL
INFORMATION
Budget
hotels
Ueno
First City Hotel Though it's a bit of a walk (12 to 15
minutes) from Ueno Park, this is the best budget-range business. The
sweetest part of the deal is that the traditional Japanese rooms are,
unusually, the same price as the plain Western-style rooms. This humble
business hotel is a sweet deal if you're on a budget but want to stay
in a Japanese-style tatami room.
Tokyo
Backpackers
Even though it was built in 2006, Tokyo Backpackers is still
dirt-cheap. Modern, clean dorm rooms have six wooden bunk beds, and
there is free internet and a ladies-only floor. The entire building
shuts from 11:00-16:00 daily for cleaning. As low as $25 per night.
New
Koyo has developed a reputation for having unbelievably
affordable room rates. Double rooms are slightly more expensive at
around $44 (still quite cheap for a Tokyo hotel). New Koyo bills itself
as "the cheapest hotel in Tokyo for travelers touring Japan on a
limited budget"
Sakura
Hotel While not quite as cheap as the New Koyo, the Sakura
Hotel in Tokyo offers yet another low priced alternative for budget
travelers. Single rooms start at around $55 and the Sakura offers a
variety of room types including double, twin (complete with bunk beds),
and dorm style rooms at $35 per person.
Hotel
Oozora
10 min walk from Minamisenju on JR Joban line and subway Hibiya line.
Facilities in each room include a color TV and Air
conditioner. Toilet, Public bath, and Laundromat, are shared.
The hotel has an 11pm curfew. ¥2,300
Best
Historic Japanese-Style Inn: Homeikan, 5-10-5 Hongo (tel.
03/3811-1181), consists of three historic buildings, one with a
Japanese garden and very nice tatami rooms. A great choice for those
who don't mind roughing it a bit (there are no private bathrooms), this
is traditional Japanese living at inexpensive rates.
Manboo
Internet & Comic Café is an internet
cafe that has small, private rooms to crash out in. Rooms have a
comfortable reclining chair, Internet, TV and headphones. There's also
a shower room/toilet and toiletries on sale. Good as a last resort.
¥1,800.
Tama
Ryokan, Prices for one person start at ¥4,500, and
the prices drop if more than 1 person stays per room, prices can vary,
so it’s not a bad idea to write an email and ask about
seasonal prices. There is a lounge for relaxing and internet access.
Three-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station
Ten
Ten Guesthouse, the cheapest youth hostel in Tokyo. Price
for a dorm bed starts with ¥1,200(per day for 1 month stay),
¥ 1,400(per day/1 week stay) up to ¥ 1,600 (2-6
nights). Don't expect too much for this price. The manager manages 6 of
these guesthouses, all the same price, same style.
Mid-range
hotels
Ryokan
Katsutaro This thoroughly modern concrete ryokan is a
standout for its simple yet chic designs, spotless Japanese-style rooms
(all with bathroom), and location -- right in the heart of Yanaka with
its old-fashioned neighborhood and about a 20-minute walk northwest of
Ueno Park. If the ryokan is full, don't let management talk you into
taking a room in its much older main Ryokan Katsutaro; it's not nearly
as nice as the annex. From ¥6,300 onwards.
Ryokan
Asakusa Shigetsu Just off Nakamise-dori and inside the
Senso-ji grounds, this small inn could not be better located for a
visit to the temple. The best options are the rooms with futon bedding
and tatami floors; the Western rooms, plain but comfortably furnished,
are less expensive. All rooms have private baths; there's also a
Japanese-style wooden communal bath on the sixth floor with a view of
the Senso-ji pagoda.
Hotel
Villa Fontaine Shiodome Although this hotel appears to
cater to business travelers, it is a good option for leisure travelers
as well. The location is great in terms of being close to many of the
metro lines. Spacious and clean, with a complimentary breakfast each
morning, the average price is USD170/night
Crowne
Plaza Ana Narita Thanks to its top class hospitality and
excellent facilities, from a swimming pool with a retractable roof, to
a fully-equipped fitness room and a sauna, the Crowne Plaza Ana Narita
Hotel is the ideal choice for a leisure or business stay in Narita.
Rooms are available at ¥9900 onwards.
New
City Shinjuku Located in a tranquil spot across Shinjuku
Central Park from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building, this
hotel has clean rooms with nice views of the skyscraper district, two
decent onsite restaurants for the truly lazy, and a free shuttle bus to
and from Shinjuku station. Singles start at ¥9500.
Sawanoya
Ryokan, Closed Dec 29 - Jan 3. Well-known ryokan, all
bedrooms with tatami floors. 2 rooms with bath, the 10 others share two
Japanese-style baths and showers. Good neighborhood to simply wander
and look at the houses and gardens. Free internet and LAN points in all
rooms. They have friendly helpful staff. Single ¥4935-5250
without bathroom, double ¥9240/9870 without/with bath, triple
¥12600/14175 without/with bath.
Splurge
Park
Hyatt, 800/233-1234, 03/5322-1234: Quite simply, it's
among the most gorgeous and sophisticated hotels in Japan, with rooms
to die for, stunning views, and one of Tokyo's best restaurants. It
also wins kudos for free entry for hotel guests to its dramatic,
sunlit, 20m (66-ft.) indoor pool, on the 47th floor with great views
over Tokyo.
Four
Seasons - Ridiculously opulent, the Four Seasons
Chinzan-so manages to present a cohesive European-Japanese sense of
design. With a location only slightly removed from the city centre, it
feels like a luxurious suburban refuge. . Large windows make the most
of the city or garden views. The interior is unquestionably civilized,
yet oddly organic in tone: antique wooden tansu (Japanese cabinets)
stand alongside ornate overstuffed rococo chairs with natural flair.
Seiyo
Ginza
This hotel has been rated as on of the best hotels in Japan not only
for its service, but restaurant's cuisine as well. 1105HT The hotel is
very simple in style from the outside. A modern style building with
hints of a European touch, this hotel has an elegant feel. Located in
the world famous shopping district of Ginza, this hotel's location is
excellent.
Mandarin
Oriental +81 3 3270 8800. Hallways are
dramatically lit, and the interior design makes smart use of gorgeous
custom fabrics. The spa offers relaxing treatments such as shiatsu and
Ayurvedic massage, plus a steam room, sauna, and a series of pools. The
overall effect is one of sophisticated calm, but with panoramic views
of Tokyo and all its thrilling commotion, visible from every guest
room, bath, and even treatment rooms
Hotel
New Otani is the flagship of the New Otani chain, worth a
visit just for the gorgeous gardens alone. It's a bit of a hike to the
nearest subway station though. Rack rates for singles at
¥26,500 and up.
