Funao Holidays from NZ$3,387

Friendly staff, spacious rooms, nice amenities, and great location

Reasonably clean room. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The only downsides for me were that the tv was mounted to a wall in an awkward spot. Made watching it difficult, especially from bed. Also having to enter the hotel through the restaurant was slightly inconvenient. It just feels weird and awkward. Location is great, staff were helpful and friendly. Overall a great place to stay

Hotel Niwa is very nice. This is the second time we have stayed (8 nights this time). It is more expensive but the quality is excellent. Rooms are cleaned daily. There are washers and dryers which we used. No microwave in room but there is one in the laundry area. The meditation or quiet lounge is nice. The street is a couple of blocks from the main road but still close enough to train station.

This hotel is okay if you don't stay there much, or if you are attendingt a conference where you are carried for by others. The gym is no gym. Itt a small room with no windows, and has only two bikes and two treadmills. No weights, and no room to move. It feels like a tucked away basement even if it is on the second floor. Instead. You are asked to go to the Sakura hotel and pay 2200 Yen every time you want to train in their gym even if it belongs to the same hotel chain and they exchange certain services for free anyway. It's really a slap in the face. Their club lounge closes at 9pm when most people return to the hotel and would love to have a drink and socialise before sleeping; so that's a bit disappointing. The hotel restaurant Trianon is by booking only and kills the spontaneity of enjoying a meal or a drink. The cleaners are lovely. Some of the girls at the reception were really very helpful and nice, but for the most part, you were left feeling that asking anything was a huge bother. You were met with a frown, arrogance and rarely a polite response, which is really unusual for Japan. I'm an avid traveller and Japan has always been a favourite destination and I love the people and culture. This hotel was a disappointment in several ways. Prior to this we stayed at the Prince hotel near the Tokyo tower and that was absolutely flawless. Shinjuku prince hotel is also wonderful with a great bar at the top open until late.

Nice small hotel is located close to Shibya crossing, very conveient location. It doesn't have an option for breakfast, so it's inconvient. Thanks to this inconvenience, we found out about delicious egg sandwich and milk pudding at Family Mart or 7- Eleven. My room sink didn't work properly; the sink cover didn't stay up, so water could not get drained. Bathtub was also drained very slowly.
