Hotels in Tokyoa polished 5-star high-rise hotel beside Shinagawa Station
8.8/10
Choose it for polished comfort and excellent rail connections, not resort-style facilities.
The Strings is a polished 5-star high-rise beside Shinagawa Station, and we'd choose it for a comfortable Tokyo base with exceptionally practical transport links. A covered walkway connects the hotel to the station for airport trains and Shinkansen departures. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise spotless rooms, helpful staff and the breakfast buffet. Comfortable beds and elevated city views strengthen the appeal, though the outlook depends on your room.
The trade-off is that this feels more like an upscale business base than a full-service urban resort: there's no pool or spa, and guests describe a small gym. Room sizes vary considerably, so check the exact category rather than assuming five-star means spacious. Shinagawa suits getting around better than nightlife on your doorstep. We'd skip it if extensive leisure facilities or a lively neighborhood are priorities.
