Shinagawa Prince Hotel

This is a great hotel. I have only walked through it and have never stayed but I often walk through it and have noticed the service is very high quality. There is a pool and it is connected to the shinagawa epson aquarium, bowling alley, and cinema. There is also a little bit of a pricey food court as well as some fancy restaurants but there is a second floor café opened 900 am to 900 pm which is decent, the atmosphere is pretty generic. Coffee is ¥500~ sandwiches ¥1200 pancakes ¥1500

*This review is for the N Tower*
This was our second stay at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Our first was in February 2015. Both times we stayed in the N Tower which is completely non-​smoking! Shinagawa Prince is extremely convenient for us tourists! It’s just across the street from Shinagawa Station which is a major transportation hub and a stop for the shinkansen!
*Check-​In*
Check in is located on the second floor of the N-​Tower which is just up the spiral stairs or up the elevator. All encounters with the front desk agents were pleasant and everyone we spoke to was able to speak English!
*Room*
Hubby and I planned a last minute (I mean booked the day of the flight last minute!) trip to Tokyo and were able to get a room on their website. We booked a double room which is just under 180 square feet! It’s a typical Japanese business hotel, so it is pretty small, but enough for us. You’re in Tokyo, so you shouldn’t be spending much time in your room anyway! The room somehow fits a small desk, TV, refrigerator, air purifier, electric kettle (and tea), and safe. They also offer great amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bath towel, hair dryer, toothbrush, razor, hair brush, cotton swabs, yukata and house slippers). The bathroom is pretty small, but the water pressure is great and I love the shampoo and conditioner!
*Dining*
This was not advertised on their website, but the N Tower offers free breakfast on the top floor. The floor is mainly for business as there are many desks, a fax machine, conference room etc. In the morning they offer a small breakfast which includes egg, sausage, pastries, yogurt, cereal, a soup of the day and coffee, tea or soft drinks. It’s quite a spread for a free breakfast!
*Haneda Airport Access*
On our first trip we took the airport limo bus from the hotel to Haneda. Bus tickets can be purchased in the main tower and the bus stops right outside the hotel. You need to check the bus schedule to see if it works with your flight time. This time we took the train from Shinagawa Station to Haneda. It was just 410 yen and took 14 minutes. Either way was very convenient!
We have made this our go to hotel while exploring Tokyo for both its convenience and cleanliness. Looking forward to more stays at this hotel in the future. I’m not sure if I will try the other towers as the N tower fits all our needs and seems less crowded than the main tower.

A very convenient hotel just across Shinagawa Station.
We got a booking reservation in the East building and it was not that impressive. Just a normal business hotel.
The staff were very nice and gave in to my request when I requested to switched to a non-​smoking room.
The room is clean and with an ensuite bathroom. Free wifi.
Check out is hassle free, just drop your key at the express checkout box in the lobby.
Very convenient hotel.

I am so glad I booked this hotel for the majority of my stay in Tokyo. The value of the hotel combined with the convenient access to the train station made everything so easy for my husband and I to get around town. Rooms were cleaned and were a decent size. It’s a small room for American standards, but really it wasn’t bad at all. We loved there were a number of restaurants nearby in case we wanted a quick bite to eat (You must stop at Yoshinoya) and even the food court in the hotel was great. There was one place that had awesome Takoyaki. The area was safe and was bustling even after 10pm. If I ever find myself back in Tokyo, I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again. Being next to a train station is so worth it.

Located very very close to the Shinagawa train station, this hotel is a hub for tourists, business personnel as well as international travelers.
I stayed on the 29^th floor, in a room with twin beds. Very small for a western style hotel. Both shower and deep bathtub in the bathroom. Amenities were excellent, wrapped toothbrushes, shower caps, razors etc provided. This hotel, as most hotels in Japan provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash and face soap. I was very impressed with the ecofriendly aspects of it all.
Breakfast coupons were included in our stay. We had the choice of a western style buffet, Japanese style buffet or a set course of Chinese breakfast. My favorite was at the Hapuna western located on the second floor.
There is a 7 – 11 convenience store right outside of the hotel. Though very busy in the morning and late afternoon, you can find all your last minute essentials and food items there.

Great convenience. Across the street from Shinagawa Station. Lots of food options and shopping close by. After a dozen visits it feels very familiar and comfortable.

I name this the most convenient hotel in Tokyo. Shinagawa is located towards the souther part of Tokyo. This hotel is located right across the street from the Shinagawa MTR /​JR stations, so it is convenient to get in and out of the hotel for day trips.
The Shinagawa Hotel boasts three buildings — Main Tower, Annex Tower, and the North Tower. This place is super busy always, as they have a lot of weddings and company celebrations here. The rooms are a bit on the small side (as what can be expected for Japanese hotels). The maid service is super fast and efficient.
I like the customer service here at the hotel. The concierge staff are outstanding. I also like that they hold your luggage for a few days or a few hours if you need to go to another city or need to check out and come back for your belongings!

Very nice hotel, the upper room’s have a great view. The room’s are on the small side by US standards but they make up for it with amenities. Included breakfast was one of the best I have ever had, traditional Japanese and Western.

Tokyo was actually the LAST stop on my Japanese trip (I took the train south to Hiroshima and worked my way back) and I wasn’t 100% sure of my timeline, so I just booked a hotel sort of on the fly, seeing what I could find for a decent price and wound up at the Shinagawa Prince. It was my first time in Tokyo, the price was right on Expedia and it was close to public transit (I was coming from Kyoto and it was on the way without needing to transfer) so it worked just fine for me. I do regret not knowing better and staying in Shibuya or Shinjuku (a LOT more to do and see) but I didn’t really know better at the time. Oh well, next time.
At any rate, the hotel is just a few steps from the Shinagawa Station and there are plenty of food and drink options nearby. The hotel itself is quite nice, very clean and the twin room (I stayed with a friend) was actually quite spacious by Japanese standards. Being able to walk around the room was a novelty, believe it or not! Has free Wi-​Fi which is still not a given in Japan, oddly enough, so that’s a plus and the ‘limousine bus’ that runs right from the hotel to Narita Airport which is quite convenient. The hotel was very clean, good washroom facilities, really nothing to complain about. Also, a fairly nice view (I was on the 36^th floor) and the staff were courteous and helpful with more than adequate English language skills. Sadly I did not get the chance to use the bowling alley!
Would stay again if I were, for some reason, inclined to stay in that area of Tokyo and the price was right through Expedia et al., though again, would much rather go with Shibuya or Shinjuku knowing what I know now. Still, no complaints and a very nice hotel.

When I am asked where a good place to stay in the Tokyo area I always recommend the Shinagawa Prince. My husband and I stayed in a little room on the 36^th floor with a view of Tokyo tower. The room was small but clean and suffice. I would imagine for Japan it’s is decently sized.
The location is convenient. The Shinagawa Station is a major train station. Therefore you can pretty much get anywhere with ease and with few or no transfers.
The hotel is affordable. For the amenities and services provided it is a good deal. My hubby and I utilized the concierge service daily to get directions to our destination. Some spoke English and some spoke very little English but they always tried their best. There also is free wifi, a bowling center, and some good dining options on premise and also nearby.
All in all, my first choice in Tokyo for accommodations!

The Shinagawa Prince Hotel «N-​Tower» is the best kept secret for the business traveler secret in Tokyo. (This is not a review for any of the other towers)
This is not a fancy Western hotel and its not a tiny Japanese hotel either. What you get when you stay at the N-​Tower is perfectly adequate amenities at an amazingly low price. The location, the rooms, the business center and the staff are all absolutely wonderful. Trips to Tokyo are never the same when I can’t say there and I’m always gun wrenched when I can’t book a room last minute.
So first let me make it very clear how great a location this is. I always like to say that Shinagawa Station is life. It is where the NEX train drops you off, its one of the main JR line transit center, there are amazing restaurants in and around the station, most corporate buildings are located here and its just across the street from the the hotel which not only makes it super easy to find a train, but also find a taxi any time of the day.
The rooms are just wonderful and I’m speaking of the «Semi Double Rooms». There are a very nice size with a good size bed for a large guy like myself. They are super clean, have great connectivity and a really nice desk to work at. This goes for the bathroom as well. Just big enough and very well designed. Again, this is not your typical wester hotel room, you really know that you are in Japan, but its comfortable like a well designed Honda Accord.
The business center is just my absolute favorite in any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The server and staff are wonderful, the room is very nice and comfortable to work in and there are free drinks and coffee to keep you going all day long. I really love this aspect of the hotel.
I’ve mentioned the Staff a couple times now and I just can’t say enough for them. Typical Japanese service and quality all around. From the front desk, to the business center all the way down to the cleaning staff. All have been great and have gone beyond their job requirements to help me out in the past. Its a smaller hotel and so over time you’ll get to know many of them.
So thats about it for my review of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel N-​Tower. I have stayed in the other towers, but none of them are anywhere as nice as the N-​Tower. Don’t let the outward appearance fool you, the interior of this tower is just perfect for the business traveler in Tokyo.

Good Hotel, good Location near train station and several restaurants.
Most restaurants close before 23:00 in the hood
No lounge, but they do have a Resturant for bfast and a ⁷⁄₁₁ nearby for snacks and drinks.
Good AC in room this visit, crummy AC last visit.
Decent size even rooms, could be called large by Tokyo standards.
Great bathrooms, good beds.
Nice garden attached to property.

This hotel was chosen by our tour and I can see why. Even though it is not in the heart of Tokyo, the hotel is conveniently located next to the Shinagawa train station making it easy for anyone to take the subway to other parts of Tokyo and JR trains to visit other parts of Japan.
The front desk staff members and concierge spoke English which was incredibly helpful. They can help you with dinner reservations. Rooms are compact but clean and it seems most Japanese hotel rooms are on the small side. There was a vending machine on my floor that sold water and beer.
There is a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, inside and outside of the hotel.

The worst! They charge to go in the pool. Very unfriendly. Amenities were horrible.

If you’re visiting Tokyo, look into staying in Shinagawa (it’s relatively quiet and conveniently located as quite a few major JR lines stop here in addition to trains to Haneda and Narita). There are heaps of shops and restaurants around here along with convenient stores. I stayed here for three nights; when you check in, you pay at the machine, which activates your room key. The room is compact, but not super tiny where you’ll feel claustrophobic. WiFi in the room was free and extremely fast. If you’re looking to stay here, I would recommend checking out deals on their website as it was cheaper for me to book directly through the hotel rather than use Expedia.
Good for: tourists

I stayed in this hotel for three days in June 2014. First if all, location is awesome. it is centrally located in Tokyo and across the Shinagawa train station, maybe 5 minutes walk. I stayed in east tower. Check in and check out were very easy. As usual Japanese people greet you with respect at the front door. Room key was a surprise because it was the old fashioned steel key with steel key chain. Room was very small but I wasn’t expecting a big room. It was maximum 5 m long and 2 m wide. There was a small closet at the entrance, there was a bed by the wall and there was a very small bathroom at the end. Bed was enough for me but I’m 5.6 height. I was able to lock the closet when I’m away. There was also a small table and a small chair. Instead of coffee pot there was a hot water pot with green tea next to it. Bathroom was very small but enough for me to take shower or shave or use the restroom. Bathroom toilet was high-​tech just like any other Japanese bathrooms. There was a small TV by the bed but I couldn’t find any English Channel except CNN international in Japanese doubling. Window was very small and it was looking to the train station. Room was very very clean. Bed comfort was so so. Air conditioner was old but it worked all night long fine. There was a small fridge. Free Wi-​Fi worked fine at all times. Best part of this hotel is the location because it is very close to Shinkansen and metro stations. There was a Mcdonalds and 7-​Eleven at the entrance of the hotel which was very convenient to eat or pick up something. I also shopped at the souvenir shop, it has many items at reasonable price. I did not try the restaurant. Hotel staff was very helpful in finding restaurants around Tokyo. There are two elevators on the east block, they worked fine but they may get very crowded. Overall I was very happy with this hotel. I would definitely stay there again just because the location is awesome.

Nice location, about 10 minute walk to the train station. Very crowded at times, but very big hotel with three towers. Breakfast buffet can get very congested, they manage it effectively and move things through.
Electric plugs are like US, but does not accommodate 3-​pronged plugs on your computer charger.
Food is outstanding, service is impeccable. I sty here every time I visit Japan about 5x per year.

Great hotel and centrally located in Tokyo. The hotel is directly across from the Shinagawa train station, so it is very convenient when touring the country.
I see that it has received some negative reviews, but I am really not sure why. No, it was not a 5 star hotel, but we really didn’t need one since we wouldn’t be in the hotel that much. The hotel itself, like all of Japan, was completely immaculate. Super, super clean. Our room was spacious enough for our needs and had an incredible view of the city. Of course, in place of a usual coffee machine, they offered a hot tea pot with tasty green tea to brew. I am a big coffee drinker in the morning, but this I found just as satisfying.
The hotel offered restaurants and several shops to peruse. I never once spoke with an unfriendly employee– all gracious and accommodating. If I ever return to Tokyo, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
