I am the biggest fan of this hotel and have sent dozens of happy referrals. This is a mega resort in Tokyo, located 2 minutes by walk to one of the most connected train stations in Tokyo. First of all, you will not beat the price at this hotel for what you get. Book online and get the Main Tower, corner unit (20% bigger than others). This advice is the best you will ever get for a hotel stay in Tokyo. Book early, these corner units go fast. Each corner unit room has either a view of Tokyo Tower or Mt. Fuji. You'll never pay more than $175 a night at this hotel, so why stay anywhere else?
As I said, this is a mega resort with over 30 restaurants, a multiplex movie theater, a world class aquarium, a bowling alley, arcade, karaoke rooms and more. There are four towers to choose from, but as I mentioned best bet is Main Tower, corner unit. Around the area is another 70 restaurants, including Shinatatsu Ramen Street, with 12 ramen shops under one roof. That is 100 different restaurants within walking distance from your hotel room!
The hotel is located across the street from the Shinagawa Station, where you can catch the Japan Rail line to Shibuya, Ginza, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Yokohama and more without any transfers. There is also direct train access to Haneda and Narita Airport, but it's best to use taxi if coming from Haneda or the Limousine Bus if coming from Narita, unless you have very little luggage. Shinagawa Station is also a major Shinkansen terminal so you can go to Kyoto or Osaka from here with ease. Next to the station is the Odaiba Rainbow Bus terminal, where you can get to Odaiba for just 210 yen! Get anywhere you need in Tokyo from this hotel. I also like Shinagawa station (品川) because the Kanji Japanese characters is the easiest to read, look for three boxes and three lines! Trust me, this helps.
For restaurants, make sure you check out Luxe Dining Hapuna, the hotel buffet. Its huge, with a very good variety. Yes, its named after the Big Island's Hapuna! Famous Yakiniku chain Jojoen is in the hotel. The 38th and 39th floor of the Main Tower hosts 10 dining and bar concepts with spectacular views of Tokyo. There is a McDonalds and 7-11 downstairs of the hotel. You can get discounts at the Aquarium and Movie Theater by showing your room card.
You'll never have trouble finding English speakers here, and booking online is super easy, with no credit card needed. I've been to Tokyo more than 50 times in my life, and I've tried as hard as I can to find a better hotel in this price range next to a major train station and it doesn't exist. Main Tower, Corner Unit. Book it and enjoy your next trip to Tokyo!
