Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa

Check in was smooth. They gave us a bottle of bubbles for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. That you can use the facilities at all three Pronce hotels on site including the club lounges. The hotel is located very close to train station within a 5 minute walk.

The hotel is quite old with the furniture and bathroom suite requiring updating. We stayed on the Club floor and was surprised by the stained old shabby carpet on floor 15. The bathroom was dated and bedroom furniture old and worn. Sadly we didn't sleep well either. We didnt like that we paid substantially more for Club lounge access to find that we had to have breakfast in the lounge each day. There was no other option for us to have breakfast in the main restaurant whereby the breakfast choices was vast. We stayed 4 nights so by the last day the limited breakfast choices were getting tedious especially with special dietary requirements. There was nothing special on offer for breakfast. The snacks were the same every day and you had to get your own drinks and make your own cocktails which we didnt expect the Club lounge to be self serve for drinks. The pool was closed even though it was still very hot and humid 30 degrees + as they only open it in summer.

Comfortable Stay

Overall, a pleasant stay. I was there on business and bought an extra room for my children. Clean, comfortable beds. I've had better breakfasts at other hotels. Very close to Shinagawa station. Quiet rooms and comfortable beds. Clean and pleasant. 7/11 in basement comes in handy for a late snack.
