Tokyo Hotels

Unlike the traditional aged grand hotels in Hong Kong such as the Peninsula, or Singapore’s Raffles, Tokyo hotels have barely any one categorized as “old”.  What the city has however, are hotels that are made up by superb service, cleanliness, and efficiency.  These hotels although lacking that old grandeur or quaintness most other hotels in nearby Asian countries have, Tokyo hotels represents the legendary Japanese hospitality; just be ready for small rooms in a country where space is premium.  With the exclusion of expensive hotels, Tokyo hotel rooms appear to come in three sizes: barely adequate, small, and minuscule rooms. 

Additionally, Tokyo doesn’t have a lot of first-class ryokan, a Japanese-style inn. Optionally, the majority of upper-bracket Tokyo hotels provide a number of Japanese-style rooms, having tatami mats, a futon, and a Japanese bathtub.  While these rooms are rather expensive, they’re generally big enough for four guests.  Modest and reasonably priced Japanese-style inns are also available in Tokyo.  For travelers on tight budget, the simple Japanese-style ryokan is often the best means to go.

The price of a Tokyo hotel room will possibly vary because of exchange rate fluctuations; generally it would be at 120 yen.  Always make certain to check present exchange rates when planning a trip to Tokyo.  Also, rooms rates may go up so don’t fail to ask about current rate of the room when making the reservation.

Given that Tokyo’s restaurants, nightlife, and attractions are extensively scattered, and the fact that its public transportation system is efficient and fast, there is no one Tokyo site that is extra convenient than the other; also, since this is among the world’s most expensive cities, including its hotels, the intervening factor in choosing a Tokyo hotel will perhaps be its cost. 

Pricing categories of Tokyo hotels based on a double occupancy per night, and excluding service charges and taxes, may range from 37,000 yen and above for very expensive accommodations category; 26,000 to 36,000 yen for the expensive category; 14,100 to 25,000 yen for moderate hotels category; and 14,000 yen or less for inexpensive lodgings.

Another not so “pricey” option for lodging in Tokyo, although not ideal for claustrophobic people, are the capsule hotels that became popular during the 1980’s, This type of hotel is mainly used by businessmen who have missed out on the last train while having fun in the city; after all, it’s much cheaper to stay in one of the capsule hotels than to ride a taxi home.

Tokyo is dotted with various types of accommodations, finding somewhere to stay will not be a problem; it’s just matter of choice and budget.
