10 Lodges in Tokyo Prefecture: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 23, 2023 Elouise Mccaul

Tokyo is the epitome of frenetic energy and jam-packed cosmopolitan culture—it’s populated by 12.5 million people. Still, it’s one of the safest cities in the world, ensuring a (nearly) carefree stay packed with pulsing nightlife, succulent cuisine and endless city experiences. Four national museums, gorgeous gardens and parks, Michelin-starred restaurants, and kooky-chic street fashions are only part of what makes Tokyo so unique. Don’t miss the Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art, the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and the Gwen Stefani-lauded neighborhood of Harajuku.

I regularly use Sakura Hotel Nippori to do business as it has reliable wifi and great facilities. The cost is extremely reasonable and staff are helpful. The location is great, it's right in the heart of the trendy Yanesen district and very convenient for both Nippori and Sendagi stations, making it easy to get from Narita airport and travel around Tokyo. You can even visit Ueno park and its many museums on foot. The rooms are simple and clean. The restaurant has a wide variety of international cuisine and a great selection of world beers. I would equally recommend this to people traveling around Japan, or for those who need a teleworking base.

Small clean hotel near train station

Reviewed By 839AlmaR

Visited Japan and stayed in this hotel with husband, a preteen and a teen. Stayed in a family room with a double bed and 2 singles. Bathroom is small and there are no cabinets to put clothes in. Only hooks to hang your clothes from. They have no meals in the hotel but there are restos around the place. You can even take out food from a store at the corner which is open 24 hours and eat in their kitchen/dining area which is open only until 10 PM. There's also Family Mart 2 doors down and a 7/11 around the corner. If you plan to stay in your room for long periods, I suggest you don't stay in this hotel as it is going to be claustrophobic. But if all you need is a clean place to stay and sleep, then this is the place for you. They do provide amenities like toothbrush, towels, soap, shampoo,conditioner and robe and a hairdryer. There's also a small ref inside the room. All in all, it's a nice place to stay in. And props to the staff. Very helpful. They answered all my questions promptly even before we got there.

Lovely hotel managed by only married couple with croissant culinary qualification

Reviewed By chiyenmichelle

We went to Japan in April, in a 6 person trip. Our tour guide is a gentleman who have lived in Japan for many years, he arrange almost all of our stay in Family Lodge when we travel from Tokyo to Nagoya by car, spanning across few hundred km distance, there are many branches in Japan! The hotel room is very comfortable, we are so happy to check in every night, as most of the room design are similar in all branches, we feel like coming back to home and slept well. According to our tourguide, the hotel are managed only by retired and married couple. Also, they must learn to bake nice croissant with culinary qualification. We love the smell every morning when we walk into the lobby, the croissant and other bread are simply delicious. Room are clean, equipped with branded shampoo and all toiletries, just like other places in Japan. Definitely will visit again if i travel to Japan again.

A 4-minute walk from Tokyo Skytree, SMI:RE STAY OSHIAGE is situated in Tokyo and features rooms with free WiFi. The property is located 1.7 km from Sensoji Temple. The property is set 2 km from Edo Tokyo Museum. Guest rooms in the hotel are fitted with a flat-screen TV. Each room comes with a private bathroom equipped with a bath and free toiletries, while some rooms come with a kitchenette.

Great location, modern design, well-equipped, highly recommended

Reviewed By kidsagogo

We're a family of 4 and stayed at the quadruple room for 4 nights. We chose Smi:re Stay Oshiage mainly for how it looks and where it's located. Pros: Great location, modern design, comfy beds, kitchenette, and in-room washing machine Cons: No daily housekeeping, no wardrobes, tight hallway, could have used a full-sized mirror Bottomline: Despite minor drawbacks, Smi:re Stay Oshiage is an excellent choice for a small family like ours. We definitely recommend this for staying in Tokyo. Here's a more detailed review of Smi:re Stay: 1. Design We loved the minimalist design with concrete, wood, and glass. It kinda felt like sleeping in a Muji store (in a good way)! 2. Size & Layout It's not in any way tiny, but since the layout of the room is narrow, it's also not the most spacious, especially since we had several luggage (however, there is enough space in corners and under the beds to stow them). Two bedrooms are connected by a tight hallway, where the separate toilet and bathroom are located. The bigger room contains the master bed, dining area, and kitchenette, so it can be a bit cramped. The smaller bedroom, however, is just perfect for our 2 kids. Technically, there's no work desk but the dining table can serve that purpose. 3. Comfort & Cleanliness The mattresses are very comfy, cozy, and soft, so we certainly slept well. The hotel also provided pajamas and disposable slippers so plus points for that. The two rooms have air-conditioners to keep them cool (or warm, in our case, since we were here in December). The toilet (Japanese toilets with their built-in bidets are the best) and shower are very clean. Water temperature is adjustable and water pressure is strong. Lots of towels and toiletries for everyone. Our only complaint is that there's only one mirror, which is placed too high for little kids. A full- or even half-sized mirror in the corridor perhaps would have been nice. 4. Service There is no lobby or front desk. The cafe/bar in the building serves that purpose. But Kenzo, who was on duty, was very friendly and helpful. As for housekeeping, they throw the trash and replace the towels every other day and make the bed every 4 days. We're not too happy with that, but it's no deal breaker either. 5. Amenities As this is a serviced apartment, the room is equipped with a kitchenette with a stove, microwave oven, kettle, and fridge. There are plenty of glasses, mugs, plates, and utensils. Breakfast isn't included, so we just bought sandwiches from the nearby Family Mart or 7-Eleven. There are plenty of hangers but no wardrobe cabinets, just a couple of wooden racks to hang our jackets. We liked that there's a washing machine in the room with free laundry soap for a single wash. The funny thing though is we had to dry up our clothes on a steel bar on top of the TV! Speaking of the TV, only local channels are available. But the free and fast Wi-Fi made up for it. 6. Location & Security The location is excellent as Oshiage/Skytree is a great base to explore Tokyo. We can even see the famous Tokyo Skytree from our room! The hotel is a 5-min. walk from Skytree/Solamachi and a 1-min. walk from the B1 exit of the Oshiage/Skytree Station. It's also in a quiet and safe side street of the neighborhood, so we we had a restful sleep during our stay. 7. Check-in & Check-out The check-in was super fast, with Kenzo double-checking our booking details and explaining the house rules for a few minutes. We were greeted by Pepper the robot at the elevator area (she's a delight, though she needs more information loaded in her system to be truly useful). Check-out was just a matter of posting a check-out card at the reception. 8. Family Friendly The hotel is great for families. Our kids have a separate room (a bed each). Access to the station is a short walk for them. There's strong Wi-Fi if they just want to chill. And they loved interacting with Pepper the robot.

Situated in more quiet part of Shinjuku, it is not far walking or train ride from all of the happening spots. The space is modern but still very cozy and comfortable. The staff here is great. Everyone has a smile and they are all willing to help. I will look to book with Glou again when I return to Tokyo.

Great stay for family

Reviewed By mljstravel

We needed space for family on our trip to Tokyo and had to weigh up two adjoining hotel rooms versus an apartment hotel. For the price, this was the better option as central hotels are expensive. Hotel Axas is a cross between serviced apartment and hotel - reception desk staffed more like a hotel, but room cleaning only on request (but available daily) is more like an apartment. The location was in a quite part of Tokyo, only 100m from the airport bus terminal. It’s between two metro lines. And has small supermarkets close by. However it’s not a bustling or trendy area. The room had four beds, dining table, full kitchen, bathroom and laundry with washing machine in the room. Plenty of space for our young kids. On balance, it gets near full marks as it met everything we needed as a family hotel and there really are not many to chose from in Tokyo!

Numero Uno Tokyo

マンション型滞在としては良いです。

Reviewed By GotoCreson

家族旅行で2泊利用させていただきました。 今流行りの「民泊」的なスタイルのお宿となっています。古さも感じず、清潔感もあり、調理器具などもあったので、2〜7日間滞在するには良いと思います。 良い点 ・宿泊に際して、ベッドの台数が1台足りないアクシデントがありましたが、連絡したらすぐ対応していただけました。 ・デザイン性が良いので、民泊や古いビジネスホテルとは違う新鮮な気持ちで宿泊できます。 ・201.203号室に宿泊しましたが、清掃も行き届いていて、ニオイなどもありませんでした。エアコンもちゃんと動作していた様に思います。 ・コンビニと銭湯が近いので、時間によっては広いお風呂を楽しめると思います。 気になる点 ・いわゆる「民泊」的なスタイルなので、歯ブラシとドライヤー以外のアメニティで必要なものがあれば、用意されてるか確認した方が良いでしょう。 ・若干公式サイトの情報の更新に時間がかかることがあるようです。予約した部屋のベッドの台数が変わっていました。予約先の情報は更新がちゃんとされているようなので、しっかり確認しておくと良いと思います。 ・階段が急で、エレベータはないので、大荷物を運ぶ時や酔って帰るときなどは注意する必要があります。足腰が不安な方は2階以上の部屋は予約しない方が無難でしょう。 お値段もそこそこリーズナブルなので、選択肢としてはありだと思います。

Reviewed By Puffinman

This is something you do not have to do. It is saying that this is the hottest robot show in town. However it is damaged in the equipment and very very loud. The actors are playing good and they try to give there best to the tourist. It seems, that they are trying to get every penny out of our pocket for drinks and others. It is disturbing.
