"It was a very nice, staff was great and food was pretty darn good! However, since we are fat Americans, we found the bed a little hard and toilets too small for my round posterior. Also I sweat like pig at night and 20.0 C doesn’t cut it. I understand these issues are not universal but as an American, I’m gonna give my opinion even if it’s just a me problem. 4/5 pretty awesome stay. Would do it again!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Tokyo

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly times to visit Tokyo are in January, August, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, visitors can discover significant landmarks, museums, and temples, as well as enjoy urban shopping and admire the city's stunning architecture. Additionally, exploring the natural parks and indulging in the local seafood scene will provide a great value for money experience while immersing oneself in the vibrant culture of Tokyo.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Tokyo, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels approaching your travel date. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you’re informed about any opportunities to save. Through Smart Shopping , available on the app, you can compare hotel prices and amenities, allowing you to make informed decisions. This way, you could be the first to know if rooms become available or prices drop, perfect for planning a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more favourable rate for your stay in a Tokyo hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and occasionally better value. When you make a reservation with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that may offer more affordable options, assisting you in finding a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Tokyo’s excellent public transport links, you might find an independently owned hotel further afield that is more likely to be affordable while still being well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
