Any good addresses for a place to stay in Tokyo ?? Hit me up !!! I'm trying to find some addresses for a friend, and I thought this would be the best places, considering that a lot of guys have been there... I went there last year, but well, that is just one place
If you don't speak Japanese, or very little, here's a friendly, affordable, hotel in Jimbocho, Tokyo (they now have more than one location), which cater almost exclusively to foreigners -- and a lot of toy sellers lodge there -- the Sakura Hotel. It's a modest, but modern hotel with 24-hour desk service, bi-lingual staff (some also speak French), internet service, 24-hour bar, and more: Here's their English-language website: http://www.sakura-hotel.co.jp/sakura-hotel_link.html
When in Tokyo area I always stay at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Its huge and has lots to do just in the hotel (bowling alley, movie theatre...)and its right across the street from the train station. Has 4 different building with four different room styles with the main tower being the nicest (at least last time I was there) and they just renovated the tower with all the single rooms too (those were small but very nice just for one person with new hd tvs and furniture). Staff all speak english and most of the restaurants close by speak english also. Train station is one the main Yamanote loop line and has access to the Shinkansen trains there too! I give this place a big thumbs up. Super convenient! Check out the website for all they have http://www.princejapan.com/shinagawaprincehotel/
I've had good experiences with the Keio Plaza in Shinjuku. Really good bilingual staff and nice rooms. 5 min walk from Shinjuku Stn.
