The Best Bang-For-Your-Buck Hotels in Tokyo
Tokyo has a reputation for being an extremely expensive city – and rightly so. Some hotel rooms run in the quadruple digits. But if you know where to look, there are great deals hidden in plain sight. Here are some of the best budget conscious accommodations in town.
Hotel Monterey Ginza
Why it made the list
This no-frills hotel is set in the middle of the posh shopping streets of Ginza. With high end boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants all around, this area can get pricey. But at this hotel, you can expect clean and not-too-small rooms between $125-$175. You won’t beat that price for this area.
Book and Bed Asakusa
Why it made the list
Part hostel, part library, Book and Bed is exactly what it says it is – there are books and there are beds. One long corridor is flanked by bookshelves that have curtained off areas for sleeping. Depending on the night of the week and season of the year, you could pay as low as $40.
Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho
Why it made the list
This affordably priced lifestyle hotel caters to budget-conscious guests in a number of ways. Rooms are around $100-$150 and there is a bevy of free or cheap amenities both in the rooms and the lobby area. The bar is open 24-hours and there are video games and nightly DJs to keep you entertained.
Wired Hotel Asakusa
Why it made the list
Set in the heart of Asakusa (old world Tokyo), Wired has accommodations that range from dorm rooms with shared baths to giant suites. The cheapest rooms you’ll find are around $100 – but the rooms are quite small.
Sumisho Hotel
Why it made the list
Part hotel, part traditional ryokan, Sumisho is a quaint accommodation on a quiet street that’s still walking distance to many Tokyo attractions. You’ll pay between $100-$150 depending on room type and with that you’ll get small en-suite bathrooms, yukata pajamas, and access to their own onsen (Japanese baths).
Ryokan Katsutaro
Why it made the list
For a truly authentic Japanese experience, you have to stay in a ryokan, or Japanese Inn. These accommodations have tatami mat floors, rolled up futons, onsen baths, and a variety of other uniquely Japanese amenities. For a room with its own bathroom at Ryokan Katsutaro, you can expect to pay between $125-$150.
Park Hotel Tokyo
Why it made the list
Though it may be on the higher end of this particular list, the Park Hotel prices are on the low side for high(er) end accommodations. Rooms run in the low $200s but in off-season can get even less. Keep in mind that you’re walking distance to great shopping, dining, drinking, and attractions and there’s a subway station attached downstairs.
