The Mercure Tokyo Ginza is a contemporary three-pearl property with a few French-accented touches. It's located in a major shopping district, walking distance to a range of attractions. The 208 rooms, some with charming red-and-white toile wallpapers, are roomy by Tokyo standards and include smart-phone docks. This French chain has few amenities, but there is a restaurant and bar specializing in Gallic fare. On-site parking is available, but with a subway stop in the basement of the building, reaching either airport via train is easy. For a quieter three-pearl hotel, travelers might prefer The Edo Sakura, which has a bit more personality.

The Shinagawa Prince Hotel Tokyo is a huge mid-range hotel complex offering 3,679 guest rooms spread over four high-rise towers. Rooms here are functional and comfortable and are equipped with mini-fridges and electric kettles, though some show signs of wear and tear. The hotel's complex includes two swimming pools, 13 food and beverage outlets, tennis courts, a shopping mall, cinema, bowling alley, and even an aquarium. Its location opposite Shinagawa train station, a five-minute walk away, makes it a convenient base for leisure and business travelers. But room rates here tend to run more expensive than hotels of a similar category in the same area; for example, Keikyu EX Inn Shinagawa Ekimae offers better value, with bigger guest rooms.

Overall, it's a decent choice for those seeking something affordable in a good location, but travelers wanting more space might want to consider Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo instead -- though it lacks on-site dining options.

Offering 746 rooms amidst the bustle of Shinjuku, the luxury Hyatt Regency Tokyo scores high on location and graceful decor, its quietly elegant vibe drawing in couples and business travelers in particular. The eight on-site dining and bar options are stellar -- though expensive. Fees can also crop up for spa and pool access, breakfast, and parking, though these are waived for Regency Club guests. Regency Club Rooms and Suites are also the most well-kept; lower-category rooms can still have spectacular city views, but they suffer from some oddly dated decor. Another downside, routers in all rooms must be requested at the front desk for Wi-Fi access, strange in tech-focused Tokyo. For similar luxury with fewer extra fees, check prices at the nearby Hilton Tokyo.

Located on the waterfront area of Shinagawa Tennozu Isle, the Dai-Ichi Tokyo Seafort is a good pick for travelers wanting to stay within easy access of Haneda Airport. This upper-middle-range business property occupies the top floors of a skyscraper home to restaurants and shops, and offers great panoramic views.

The rooftop teppanyaki restaurant is a highlight here, with good food and even better vistas, but there are few other amenities on-site. The hotel is connected to a Monorail station and offers easy walking access to other public transport, yet central Tokyo attractions are at least a 30-minute subway ride away. Travelers wanting a pool should consider Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo, though rates are higher.
