Top hotels in Higashiomiya
Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
The rooms are fine size, not super large like most US chains but perfect for just two of us. We got lucky and scored a high floor and the view was spectacular. This chain tops the list for efficient check in/check out. Great location.

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower
The room was spacious and clean. It was great to have a Lawsons on site because accessing either restaurant was very difficult due to the elevator. And only having a $36 breakfast brunch option was not ideal so I ate there once and then Adolf property the whole rest of the time.
