If you’re willing to spend between US$150 and $300 a night you can get a great room in Tokyo. Here are my favorite mid-budget hotels in Tokyo, all personally inspected.

Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo
The mid-range is the real sweet spot in Tokyo accommodation. Here is my very subjective list of the best mid-range and business hotels in Tokyo.

Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo guest room
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo (Tokyo Station Area)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Right across from Tokyo Station, this hotel gets everything right. It’s a great place to be based for your Tokyo stay.

Hotel Century Southern Tower corner room
Hotel Century Southern Tower (Shinjuku)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Just steps from Shinjuku Station, this hotel has arguably the best location of any hotel in Tokyo. The rooms are great, the views are awesome and the rates are surprisingly reasonable.

JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku guest room
JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku (Shinjuku)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Within a minutes’ walk of Shinjuku Station, this brilliant little hotel is a comfortable place to stay and the rates are usually very reasonable.

Marunouchi Hotel exterior
Marunouchi Hotel (Tokyo Station Area)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Overlooking Tokyo Station, this brilliantly located hotel has way more style than a typical business hotel. It’s another great choice in this bracket.

Remm Akihabara Hotel exterior
Remm Akihabara Hotel (Akihabara)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With a great location, in-room massage chairs, and ultra-reasonable rates, this hotel in Akihabara is an excellent deal.

Nohga Hotel lobby
Nohga Hotel (Ueno)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
A short walk from Ueno Station, this smart new hotel offers larger-than-average rooms and super convenient access to/from Narita Airport via the Keisei Skyliner.

Gate Hotel Tokyo guest room
The Gate Hotel Tokyo (Ginza)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
The Gate Hotel Tokyo is a smart new hotel with a super-convenient location within easy walking distance of Tokyo Station, Yurakucho and Ginza. Rooms are spacious, the restaurants are smart and the service is excellent.

Park Hotel Shiodome guest room evening view
Park Hotel Shiodome (Shiodome)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
Comfortable rooms, nice views and reasonable rates make this Shiodome hotel a great value.

Royal Park Hotel the Shiodome guest room
Royal Park Hotel the Shiodome (Shiodome)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With art-themed rooms and a nice location atop a tower in Shiodome, this is a great base for your Tokyo stay.

Blossom Hibiya king suite
The Blossom Hibiya (Tokyo Station Area)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With great views and Hibiya-koen Park nearby, this is a great apartment-style hotel within walking distance of Tokyo Station.

Mitsui Garden Ginza Premier
Mitsui Garden Ginza Premier (Ginza)
(View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
With great style and eye-popping views from the rooms, this tower hotel in Ginza feels like it should cost significantly more.
