4-Star Hotels in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

good location and hotel for a transit stay, closest airport to narita. possible to walk to terminal 2 and 3 but if carrying heavy and bulky luggage, suggest to take the airport to hotel shuttle bus.

This is probably the review that you are looking for; After reading a lot of reviews here, i was skeptical but went for it anyways because of its airport shuttle. Although i wished that they extend their shuttle bus services throughout the night because my flight got delayed. The service was alright overall. I think I know who is the ‘angry red man’ in one of the negative reviews written and at first, he did seem to be an impatient person but i realised that after communicating with a lot of fast speaking foreigners, he was accustomed to their pace of talking and dont worry, he would adjust to yours. The hotel was filled with foreigners, mainly chinese (based on the lobby) and majority were men, calling on speaker and smoking. It was kinda refreshing given that I’ve been in Japan for 3 months and this is the first time i saw such behaviour in public. But tbh, the environment was inviting and you feel less pressured to societal norms because of them lol. The hotel lobby for my floor did smell like cigarettes but it was faint. I guess someone smoked awhile ago. The soundproofing was average. I could only hear someone when I was close to my room door. The store at the lobby had crazy pricing so i would advice to bring your own snacks from the airport before coming. The koi pond outside was cute tho! The cleanliness was average. It was clean but i did found a strand of hair on the wall in the toilet, but other than that (i checked everything) it was acceptably clean (but do use the slippers). My two main issues with the room are the bed and lighting. The bed was hard. It made me think that this is how it would feel like sleeping on the tatami mat LOL but if you’re staying for a night, it was bearable. The pillows were also so hard. The lighting on the other hand was limited. I had to do my make up near the door because that was the only bright and white light area. Even the toilet was kinda dimmed since it didnt have ceiling lights. Overall; its an OK hotel option to stay for the night to catch another flight the next day. I have never been to a motel but I would compare it to one, an OK motel lol. I hope I covered most of what people tend to look for :) Also! Theres a stamp at the lobby for travellers who likes to collect stamps in Japan.

We were given the old wing which was old and worn out. Definitely a no-no and will never visit again. We stayed here 2yrs ago and love the location/rooms as they were modern n new. The old wing area is not suitable to host guests at all. From lift to room corridor, to the room inside and the toilet. Bad condition. Torn carpet with tape, peeling wardrobe door, cracked bathtub, room ceiling mouldy and webs. It was obviously an abandoned and under maintenance with no cleaning service place. The 2 nights stay was unbelievably unbearable.

Kid-friendly, the kids enjoyed sa candy bar and the variety of foods for breakfast. The room is spacious and and the bed is large enough for a family of four 😊 And I loved the free shuttle to Tokyo Disney Resort 😊

I accidentally booked and prepaid the 5-night trip at this hotel on Trip.com, then I became worried after reading a lot of negative comments about Trip.com. i booked this for my parents so I had to make sure they got the room, thus I came to ask the receptionist one day before. The hotel was at a convenient place to a lot of malls and restaurants, the room was bigger than I thought. The only bad thing is this room is a smoking room so there was heavy cigarette smell, and it barely faded out after several days even if we opened the window

As transit hotel it has everything to survive and rest. 24h Lawson is a plus for passengers arriving very late or early. Big room to accomodate family traveling together. On time FREE bus pick up make the travel from/to airport is manageable.

Good choice for those who want to visit Disney. The shuttle bus is reliable and with multiple timing. We took the shuttle bus to Disney to access to Maihama metro station which is convenient. Have to walk cross the road for airport limo to Haneda but it’s not difficult, just need to catch the right timing. It’s helpful especially after long day in Disney. Room is spacious and upgraded our room from 3 person to 4 person room. Room is clean, comes with bathtub and separate toilet. The public hot spring is good idea after long day. There is cafe available nearby, 5 mins walk from hotel.

I was only there for one night so I’m not sure about the service but the location is great five minute walk from the station and they have an outlet mall and restaurants and some brand faces so you can actually get everything you want for souvenirs or shopping in the area and if you have a Costco card there’s a Costco nearby 10 minute walk morning breakfast is ¥2000 if you want breakfast that day it’s 1000 then if you reserve breakfast in advance expect us to say that Friday is not a lot I don’t think it’s worth ¥1000 but that’s just my opinion

Hotel was in driving distance to the airport with free shuttle service to and from airport to the hotel - the driver was friendly and helpful. The room was big and spacious, good amenities and a good view to the forest side - it gets noisy when planes fly through but in the night it’s quiet. Front desk was friendly and worked well. There is a convenience store on 1F inside the hotel too.

We stayed for one night as we were taking the coach to Fuji-san the next morning. The hotel room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable. We didn’t dine in as there were ample restaurants 10 mins walk away. The complimentary shuttle buses are a plus point to stay here. We took it to explore Narita town nearby

Nice and friendly hotel , staff also . When I realised that my room was being taken by others which checked by hotel staff . They immediately change and arranged another room for me without hesitation. Good service and polite .

The bedroom is like a little coffin and so is the bathroom. Very dated but it’s an airport hotel so not expecting much. The bed and pillows were comfy and the aircon worked well but I would bring ear plugs. The sound from other rooms is not bad but if you’re a light sleeper, you may hear it. Cleanliness wasn great - there was rubbish bits (old plastic from bottle caps) on the floor and hair in different spots in the bathroom. The restaurant at level 17 had a surprisingly nice beef hotpot (though pricey at 6500Yen), but the sake was nice. Staff at the restaurant were 10/10. The shuttle bus to the airport runs once or twice an hour but if you miss it (like me), an Uber can cost 2000Yen between the airport and hotel. It did feel like there was an earthquake at 3am as the bed started rocking - initially I thought it was a train but I’m pretty sure it was a mini quake. Overall, it’s nice enough for a 12 hour layover. I chose not to take the shuttle to the mall as was a little tired but there is that option if you prefer it.

The restaurant does not require reservations, so there may be long wait times when it is busy, but apart from that, you can walk to DisneySea (a taxi is only about 800 yen) and there is a large public bath, so it is a very nice hotel!

Hotel has Halloween theme on during our stay, it’s been decorated for Halloween and restaurants offer themed desserts which were really nice. Our room was average though, the furniture and bathroom was a bit dated, room smells muggy for the first day of our trip. We did get a room with sea view, that was the highlight for our stay.

Nice hotel near Disney, they have free shuttle to the park, service was great! I wished I had paid attention about the spa earlier! Really nice and cheap, the convenience store in the second floor comes handy

amazing hotel for its convenience, cleanliness especially travelling with a toddler. Location: maximum 10mins walking to Disneyland entrance Room: large space, no issues with 2 large + 2 small luggages to be open at the same time. Toilet is also very spacious, perfect to bathe children. Clean. Convenience: right opposite ikspiara with food court, restaurants, bakeries (to get breakfast during the queuing to the theme park). Hotel is attached to the JR station.

I used this hotel the night before going to TDL. Guests can leave their luggage in the coin lockers even before check-in, which was very convenient. We were also able to check in 30 minutes early, which was great as I was able to rest before meeting up with the rest of my family.

I accidentally booked and prepaid the 5-night trip at this hotel on Trip.com, then I became worried after reading a lot of negative comments about Trip.com. i booked this for my parents so I had to make sure they got the room, thus I came to ask the receptionist one day before.

I booked the single standard room and it looked exactly like what I booked, mini fridge with free water and a ice bucket, I'm not sure if the ice were free but you can get them easily near the lift lobby, love the bathtub and the bidet. They provided shampoo, body wash and hair conditioner, I don't see many hotels provide hair conditioner so I was glad to see that. They had the humidifier in the room which was good because it was really dry in the room. Haneda airport limousine bus stop was just beside and behind the hotel so you don't have to worry if you are travelling to and from Haneda airport. The cost of the bus was 1400yen. I would certainly visit the hotel again next time when I visit Chiba again!

Location is good in that it's right next to the Don Quiote and the surrounding area is quite relaxing. It's a comfortable 15min walk to Chiba Station. The hotel has its own ”onzen” which I quite unique to have for a city hotel, so thats a nice feature. Rooms were nice and comfortable. The only thing was that road noise was quite audible at times, but luckily it wasn't that frequent when train or passing cars in the area would cause any annoyance

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Francs during my trip to Japan. One of the most memorable aspects of my stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff at Hotel Francs. Despite my limited knowledge of the local language, they went above and beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. They were always available to assist me with anything I needed, and their kindness and hospitality truly made me feel at home. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Francs to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Japan. The staff, the room, and the location were all exceptional, and I cannot thank them enough for making my stay so memorable. Thanks to them, I was able to fully enjoy my trip to Japan, despite my inability to speak the local language.

The hotel on the last day of my trip to Japan, just to see the sea before leaving. The hotel has washing machines, ice machines, free drinks after 2 o'clock, and a very delicious cold drink vending machine, which is a plus. In addition, I went to many museums in Japan and the air conditioning made me feel cold all over. I felt comfortable in the hot spring on the third floor of the hotel, which is a plus. The photo shows the midday sun shining on the pillows and quilts at the head of the bed. I was suddenly moved and took a photo as a souvenir. The disadvantages still need to be mentioned. The room has a slight smell, which is for those with sensitive tastes.

Excellent value for money excellent location

A typical Japanese small room, but the bathroom experience is still very good. A little older, but very clean. It's very convenient to take the Keiyo Line right out of the gate. I highly recommend it when going to Makuhari Beach and other places. It's very cost-effective.
