In Tokyo there are hotels everywhere. There are a wide variety of lower end and higher end western style hotels. These Western style hotels are usually somehow working with American companies. Usually the staff at these hotels will speak English.
We will now talk about 3 different hotels.
The Andon Ryokan is a budget hotel. The Andon Ryokan has a is a modern, minimalist, and clean hotel. Generally, the hotel is better for couples than it is for a solo traveler, but that does not mean solo travelers are not welcome. Since the hotel is about out of the way, it also has its own feel making it a new experience for just about everyone.
The rooms in this hotel, though only big enough to house two people, the extras that you get make up for its size. There are in fact quite a few amenities. Some of these include a DVD player wherever you go, access to the internet, a kitchen, library of DVD’s, and a staff that can all speak English. Another thing you get is very cheap breakfasts, and free coffee and tea.
Another budget hotel in Tokyo is the Kimi Ryokan. The Kimi Ryokan is one of the most popular budget hotels in Tokyo. It has rooms that have a very Japanese feel to them. The main rooms have wood floor, and the bathrooms even have a Japanese bath. Also, they have a very pleasant staff. With all these amazing things, it’s no wonder that its waiting list is rather long.
The Grand Hyatt is a high end hotel. The Grand Hyatt is a place that is very warm, airy and relaxed. Though, the building itself almost has a maze like feeling. The hotel also uses a lot of fabric, and wood making the hotel have a very organic feel to it. But, the main thing the hotel focuses on is beauty of its interior architect.
