From guesthouse to five-star luxury, bedding down in Tokyo makes good business sense.

In the past, the pleasure of a stay in Tokyo was often leavened by stratospheric accommodation prices. No more. As Tokyo has become more of an international travel destination, foreign travellers are no longer restricted to a non-choice of international chains. A broader hotel range, offering such special features as women-specific rooms, means that stopping over in the Japanese capital has now become an even more attractive proposition.

  • Hello - I have seen a few different posts on the blog about family-friendly accommodation in other cities. Does anyone know anything about hotels in Tokyo that are good for families?

    • There are many websites offering short term (some as short as 1 week) furnished apartment rental. One such site is http://www.tokyoapartments.jp/ Another option is to stay at a family run ryokan. Kind of Japanese B&B or traditional hotel I guess. These can be quite expensive though and I'm not aware of many in Tokyo. Hope that helps some.
  • The majority of hotels in Tokyo are either business hotels (read small) or 4-5 star types. There is a hotel near where I work claiming to be an apartment hotel but I've never seen the rooms so I don't know exactly what they mean by apartment. Their website is http://www.tokyustay.co.jp/e/index.html
  • The city is vast and you will do a lot of train travel and walking so plan your sight seeing and then decide on the best location to stay. This will make your trip more enjoyable.
