Discover the best of Tokyo accommodation with our 2026 review comparing the luxurious TRUNK(HOTEL) YOYOGI PARK and the affordable, view-rich remm Roppongi. Which will you choose?

I recently enjoyed a fantastic 3-day, 2-night trip to Tokyo in late October 2025!
This particular trip was all about shopping and relaxation, and honestly, the destination was chosen because there was one specific hotel I was absolutely dreaming of staying at.
I booked two different accommodations, one for each night. Since my dream hotel was on the pricier side, I opted for just one night there, then spent the other night at a more budget-friendly option.
To my pleasant surprise, both experiences offered something unique and were incredibly satisfying! I'm excited to share them with you today. :)
You can choose the perfect fit based on your travel budget and preferences.

TRUNK(HOTEL) YOYOGI PARK, Tokyo
Average 1-night price (~$576 - ~$1,280 / We booked for ~$384)
📍 TRUNK(HOTEL) YOYOGI PARK
1 Chome-15-2 Tomigaya, Shibuya, Tokyo 151-0063 Japan
Check-in: 3:00 PM
Check-out: 11:00 AM
There are two TRUNK Hotel locations in Shibuya.
The rooftop infinity pool is exclusively available at the Yoyogi Park branch.

It was the stunning infinity pool in the photos that convinced us to choose Tokyo for this trip!
The heated pool operates year-round, so you can enjoy it anytime.

Located right next to Yoyogi Park, the hotel's entrance boasts lush, green landscaping, giving it a unique and fresh feel, typical of a trendy boutique hotel.


Every room here features a terrace.
We stayed in a "Standard Room."

It's wonderful to just relax on the terrace with a cup of tea in the morning.

Given that it's a newer hotel, the in-room dishes and coffee maker were spotless and designed with a stylish flair.
The inside of the coffee maker was practically brand new, which made enjoying a morning tea truly delightful.

We returned to the hotel in the early evening and spent time at the infinity pool until late at night.
Since it's a heated pool, it wasn't cold to use even in the fall. In fact, the cool air combined with the warm water made it even more enjoyable!

Even when we came out to the daybeds, there were heaters nearby, so we didn't feel cold at all. It was truly wonderful!

You absolutely must try the jacuzzi next to the pool. It's perfect for melting away travel fatigue. I personally recommend using it from late afternoon into the evening rather than in the morning.

On one side, there's a cozy sofa area where you can enjoy food while watching a fire pit, but we had dinner reservations elsewhere, so we didn't get to use it.

There's also an oyster bar and outdoor shower facilities, which are great for a quick rinse before hopping into the pool.
We did a lot of searching and managed to book our stay for around ~$384 per night.
Looking now, the rates seem to be in the range of ~$512 to ~$1,280 per night.
If you're planning a Tokyo trip focused on shopping and a luxurious hotel stay,
If you're celebrating an anniversary or special occasion with your partner,
Or if you're willing to allocate a significant portion of your travel budget to accommodation,
I highly recommend this hotel.

remm Roppongi Hotel (Budget-Friendly Tokyo Tower View)
~$64 - ~$192 per night

Check-in: 2:00 PM
Check-out: 12:00 PM
This was our accommodation for the second night:
The remm Roppongi hotel. We booked it for about a third of the price of our first night's stay! It's located right in front of Roppongi Station, making its location incredibly convenient.

With the entrance directly on a main street, it felt safe and comfortable even when returning late at night.

When booking, I specifically requested a high-floor room.
While it's definitely smaller than our first hotel (you'll have to step over your luggage if you open it), the Tokyo Tower view from the window was the main draw.
The room also has a massage chair. It's not incredibly powerful, but the leg massage after a day of exploring was definitely a treat!


The bathroom and shower are combined. While compact, it wasn't overly inconvenient, and with the blinds down, the glass partition wasn't an issue.

This is the hotel lobby.

While there are many even more budget-friendly options, we chose this one for several reasons:
A reasonable price point,
An incredibly convenient location for getting around (restaurants like Meat Man and Don Quijote are all within walking distance),
And that stunning Tokyo Tower view!
Thanks to these advantages, our second night's stay was also fantastic.
I recommend this hotel if you:
Plan to spend most of your time out exploring,
Want a reasonably priced hotel,
Prefer a clean and tidy place to stay,
Ideally want a room with a Tokyo Tower view,
And prioritize a location with excellent accessibility.

Depending on your travel budget, style, and itinerary, you can choose either of these two hotels.
Or, if you're feeling ambitious like us, you can combine both: one night at a budget-friendly spot, and one night as a rewarding luxury stay. That's truly the best way to experience Tokyo!
It operates as a heated pool year-round, so you can enjoy it without feeling cold even in the fall. Heaters are turned on next to the beds, and there is also a jacuzzi to help melt away your fatigue, making it highly recommended to visit from late afternoon into the night.
No. There are two TRUNK(HOTEL) branches operating in Shibuya, and the rooftop infinity pool is exclusively available at the Yoyogi Park branch.
Yes, you can enjoy a view of Tokyo Tower right through your room window. For the best view, we recommend requesting a high-floor room when making your reservation.
It is located on the main street right in front of Roppongi Station, making it safe to walk around even late at night. You can also easily walk to Don Quijote and various popular restaurants. However, the rooms are quite small; if you lay your suitcase open on the floor, you will have to step over it.

Experience the magic of Tokyo with breathtaking Tokyo Tower views from your room at Remm Roppongi. Our honest review reveals why this hotel is a top pick for value.
