Hotel Princess Garden (Tokyo, Japan)

With Princess Garden as a base, you're close to shopping, restaurants, nightlife hotspots, and cultural attractions. Plenty is conveniently close by within walking distance, but several train stations are also near, should you want to use public transit. You have a nice view of the area, and don't have to travel far from the hotel to experience the city.

This is a budget hotel that's great for business travelers, small groups, and those that need a short stop in between destinations. It's a decent option when you're looking to save money, and don't need much more than a bed and bathroom while away from home.

Staff are very pleasant and welcoming, and do what they can to help make your stay a happy one. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, and the environment feels safe and secure, especially for solo travelers. You feel confident walking about and exploring the area.

Expectations for the room and bathroom sizes are lowered upon arrival. They're not spacious, so it may be tough comfortably laying out luggage. It can also feel cramped depending on how many are in your party, or if you are tall.

The indoor ventilation is poor, with inefficient air conditioning, and odd smells permeating the rooms at times. Bathrooms are not spotless, with clear signs of previous use, which is off-putting and insulting.

Although this is budget lodging, it's still too dingy and run down for the price. The whole place could use a serious makeover, from new furnishings and fixtures, to fresh paint and flooring.
