- 15 Jun, 2025
Some Tokyo hotels cost significantly less than similar hotels in their price class, year in and year out. Here are the best value Tokyo hotels in all price ranges, all personally inspected.
[Hotel Okura guest room]
Best Value Luxury Hotels
[Hotel Chinzanso guest room]
Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
The Chinzanso is a magical and largely unknown hotel that offers
old-school style and superb personal service at rates less than half of
other hotels in this budget bracket. It’s an astonishing value.
[Hotel Okura lobby]
The Okura Tokyo
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
We love the Okura — it’s a true classic and it’s recently been totally
rebuilt. The rates here are so much lower than the international luxury
brands in the luxury bracket.
[Shangri La corner room]
Shangri La Tokyo
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
Located right at Tokyo Station, the Shangri La is a bargain compared to
the other international luxury brands. It’s a beautiful hotel with
superb service and it costs much less than its direct competition.
[The Tokyo Station Hotel guest room]
The Tokyo Station Hotel
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
Located literally within the Tokyo Station Building (but blissfully
shielded from noise and crowds), The Tokyo Station hotel is an amazing
bargain for the quality of the rooms and the wonderfully helpful
concierges and staff.
Best Value Midrange Hotels
[Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo guest room]
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
We love this hotel for its location (across the street from Tokyo
Station), the comfortable and clean rooms, the helpful staff and the
healthy breakfast. It’s high quality and very reasonable.
[JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku corner room]
JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
This well-run hotel is one of the best located hotels in Shinjuku. The
cost-performance here is hard to beat.
[Century Southern Tower corner room]
Odakyu Hotel Century Southern Tower
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
The Century Southern Tower feels like a luxury hotel, especially in the
deluxe and corner rooms, but the prices are solidly midrange. It’s one
of our favorite hotels in Tokyo.
[Hotel 1899 guest room]
Hotel 1899 Tokyo
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
Stay here and you’ll feel like you’re in on a well-kept secret. This
charming little hotel gets it all right and the price is the cherry on
top.
Best Value Budget Hotels
[Karaska Hotel Tokyo Station Japanese-style family room]
Karaska Hotel Tokyo Station
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
Just steps from Tokyo Station, we really cannot understand how the
Karaska can offer rooms so cheap in such a sought-after location. And,
the rooms are actually quite nice here. They even have family rooms.
[Sotetsu Fresa guest room]
Sotetsu Fresa Inn Higashi Shinjuku
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
Located in Shinjuku but away from the crowded area, this efficient hotel
is one of the cheaper hotels in Shinjuku. It’s great for those on a
limited budget who want to stay somewhere convenient.
[Villa Fontaine guest room]
Hotel Villa Fontaine Shiodome-Tokyo
(View on
Booking.com
or
Agoda.com)
For those with limited funds who want to stay somewhere convenient and
close to the Loop Line, the Villa Fontaine Shiodome-Tokyo is a good
choice.
