Hotels in Tokyo currently start at about € 94 per night for two people, with a typical price of € 182 and € 181 for a comfortable 4-star room.

Tokyo rooms are small by design and immaculate by default, and the city's scale means your station matters more than your neighbourhood's reputation. Anywhere on the Yamanote loop is a sensible base. Business hotels offer excellent value with 14–18 m² rooms; if you need space, look for 'twin' or apartment-style rooms and expect to pay for it.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 388 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
