Top Japan Hotel Reviews

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time. Home base for the ten days spent in Tokyo was a great idea. Arrived in the terminal and after clearing Customs went straight to the hotel; no hassles having to catch the metro, a bus, or taxi. Ability to use the free airport shuttle helped us to shop for souvenirs all in one convenient location. Look forward to our next trip to Japan and staying at the Haneda Airport."

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location was wonderful. Clean rooms but very small. The airport limousine stops right in front of it so it’s very convenient for the airport. The staff was polite but a little hurried. The Mart on the first floor is the best. You find many many things and the employees are SUPER nice. I will go back there and to the hotel."
