Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa

Small but compact. Beautiful garden and close walk to cafes and restaurants. Easy stay for our overnight stay in Shinagawa, close to JR train station. Up a slight hill but we didn't have problems managing our luggage and the beautiful garden was worth the walk!

The garden was absolutely beautiful and the view from the room and lounge was completely worth the money during sakura blossoming season! The room was spacious, clean and incredibly comfortable the neighbourhood was great. Not too touristy, good food, shopping and good massage shops in the 15-minutes walking radius. Great transport links too.

This hotel is SO AMAZING!! The staff are super awesome and fun, the beds are clean and it fells like home. The room has amazing design. They include awesome breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and more!! The backyard is so amazing!! There are a lot of beautiful things. There is a little pond with beautiful fishes. There is an butt washing toilet in the restroom, there are also two showers. The bathrooms include bathrobes and towels. It also includes everything you will need. Like a toothbrush and toothpaste and razors and combs. The pillows on the beds feel firm and are comfy. The rooms include a giagantic window with beautiful a view of the city. The food at the hotel includes miso soup, macaroons and Japanese confectionary. The food is delicious and high quality. All the rooms have doorbells, and if someone rings your doorbell, you can see who it is. They also have a great security system. When you go on the elevator, you need to swipe your room card. They also have a currency exchange room that you can exchange money at. There are a lot of restaurants in the hotel. I really recommend this hotel, if you are going to go to Tokyo, I really suggest this hotel. I look forward to come back to this hotel!!!!!!!

We stayed during cherry blossom season and the gardens are fantastic. However, the weather was warmer than usual and the central AC system was still in "heater" mode instead of "cooler" mode so the room was hot. We had to turn off the AC and open the window but it was still too hot. It is too bad each room does not have its own heater/cooler control switch.

Although the hotel has undergo renovation. The room still looks dated due to poor dimly lightings. It is however a very big room for japan standard and I loved that. The ceiling is low though. we had a king size bed and it’s huge we enjoyed that. There were no English channels and that’s disappointing for a grand hotel like this. The room was very warm as they turned off air conditioning in March. The hotel has a free shuttle service to Shinagawa station and a beautiful garden. I will consider staying here again but maybe not in winter.
