Best Tokyo Budget Hotels

Yes, you can get a room in central Tokyo for less than US$100 per night! Here are the best Tokyo hotels in the budget category, all personally inspected.

Remm Hibiya

A budget hotel in Tokyo costs Y12,000 (US$105) or less for a single, twin or double. In some seasons, you might pay a bit more or less. Most budget hotels in Tokyo are located away from the city center, in less fashionable neighborhoods like Asakusa and Ueno. But, you can even find good budget hotels in hot spots like Roppongi and Ginza. Here are my favorite budget hotels in the city, based on price, quality, location and service. Be sure to check my Where to Stay in Tokyo page before deciding where to stay. These are listed in order of preference.
