The Prince Park Tower Tokyo

We have stayed here for four nights when visited Tokyo. The hotel is very nicely done, the rooms are a bit small (okay... in Tokyo all the rooms are small...). The location is not outstanding but they have a metro stop nearby, so it makes things easy. Tokyo tower is just one step away! I must point out that the staff is exceptional. They are really nice! We had a good time here. A bit expensive.

So the rooms are comfortable and clean. They're slightly dated but nothing wrong with them. The best part of my stay was having breakfast on the 33rd floor over looking Tokyo Tower. It's a great view and pretty nice breakfast buffet for Yen 3400++ For what I paid I thought it was good value for money using Hotels.com

Tokyo is so large that it is difficult to know where to stay. We were only here for three days and decided on the Prince Park Tower hotel. This is a very good hotel and the staff are very friendly. We stayed in a Park Suite which was perfect for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The breakfast buffet set us up for the day and from the restaurant you have a good view of Mt Fuji. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from a metro stop and even though the metro and underground train map initially looks impossible to understand we had mastered it after a day or two. From the hotel you can get all over the city easily with the public transport. Also good access for the Haneda airport via the monorail which stops 15 mins walk from the hotel.

Intro: We stayed here on our very first visit to Tokyo. Not having any experience of the city and what it has to offer this seemed nice and a safe choice. Getting to the hotel: We took the Narita Express to Shibuya which takes approx. 80 minutes and then the metro. I highly recommend sorting out your return ticket for the Narita Express immediately or the day before your going back. The queues can be super long and please allow for plenty of time for the trip to the airport! The Location: The location is not the best to be honest. Compared to what Tokyo has to offer, it’s in a very quiet neighborhood. And when you add the “resort�-feelting to it, it get even more secluded. The Room: I was very surprised by the room, it’s a bit out of date but it was quite big. The room had huge windows that gave the room a more spacious vibe and gave a super nice view of the city. Ask for a room that faces the park or the Tokyo Tower! Unique details: As I wrote before, the hotel has a real “resort� vibe going on. They have a bakery and s small supermarket in the lobby. It also has some restaurants and bars as well. Good to know: The walk from the metro takes about 20 minutes. Not as close as we thought. What’s close by: Nothing exciting as a first time visitor. Luckily the metro is extensive, but I highly recommend living in the more busier areas such as Shibuya, Omotesando, Harajuku or Shinjuku. Customer Service: Very limited English skills, but very polite. Overall impression: The hotel is actually nice, if it was 1975. The resort-feeling is really not what we were after.  

Prince Park Tower Tokyo is located right next to Tokyo Tower, as the name already suggests. It's location is useful for business travellers visiting nearby offices. Depending on the weather you could work (20-30 mins) but it's also easy to get a taxi. The rooms are very clean, spacious enough but do start to look a little dated. Renovations are underway. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, speaking good English. Chinese restaurant in the basement has nice food but is fairly pricey. Would visit again should business bring me to the area again.
