Shimura Ichirizuka

This the perfect option of you want to stay in Tokyo and want to enjoy a quiet stay without spending a fortune. Shibuya and Shinjuku are often mentioned as convenient locations for tourists, however I found these areas to be fun and exciting but not exactly the quiet I desire at a hotel. The Grand Prince Takanawa Hotel is very quiet and the rooms were clean. The hotel is near affiliate hotels like the Grabd Prince Shin Takanawa and the Prince Hotel. Where we stayed is about a five minute walk to Shinagawa station. This station is a major hub to catch the Shinkansen to Kyoto as well as the JY -Yamamoto line to get to popular areas like Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibiya, just to name a few. As for the rooms, I thought they were a perfect size and comparable to the size of US hotel rooms, as I was concerned my friend and I would feel cramped since hotel rooms tend to be smaller in Japan. The staff was very kind to us. We ate at one of the nearby steak house restaurants in the hotel, called Teppanyaki Katsura which was absolutely delicious. The hotel was close to 7/11 and it has a 7/11 shop inside the hotel which we found out a day before we checked out. My friend and I opted out of having breakfast while we were there so I can't speak on that. I plan to stay here if I come back to Tokyo!

My family of six stayed here and we were really impressed. The hotel is new, it just opened the day before we checked in so everything was brand new and very clean. They provide toiletries at the front desk for free, including laundry detergent. The only downside was the washer dryer combo took a long time to dry the clothes which is to be expected when it’s a combo. Close to convenience stores and train station and walkable to GINZA six, about 20 min walk.

Excellent in all areas. Large and comfortable room with all amenities you can think of. The hotel is huge, lots of dining options, on-site onsen to unwind. We were upgraded to a tower view room with the perfect Tokyo tower view. The king bed is the largest I've ever seen in any hotel. Convenient location close to subway station and a short taxi ride to Tokyo station.
