Comfortable and secure
My daughter stayed there for 6 nights. Her return flight was canceled so she needed to stay one more night. She was comfortable and felt safe staying at the Sunshine City Prince hotel, this is our 4th time staying there.

Tokyo trip 2024
Second stay here on the same trip. My room was on a higher floor this time. Everything else remained great, except that our housekeeping was less attentive for this floor. We had to keep requesting for an extra towel for our infant, when our previous housekeepers restocked for us without asking. We also found toys our infant had dropped under our bed after the room was made up. A pacifier was also left under the bedsheets by the housekeeper.
Again, other than that everything else was great. The reception staff helped us with getting a taxi to the airport at 5am. They also pointed us to the nearest post office if we needed to mail stuff back home.
Families with young children can also easily buy diapers at the Babiesrus in the shopping mall. There are also bigger supermarkets within walking distance.
Overall, we will definitely consider staying here again.

Good and bad.
High step into bathroom should be eliminated. As a disabled, it is very hard to step into and out of bathroom.
Now, in a room for tour group. Same problem with high step.
Room is large but luggage racks could be placed in room. Very hard to put luggage on the floor and pack/unpack.

Family trip 2024
Room size was relatively ok for a Tokyo hotel. As with most Japanese hotels, it was very clean and well maintained. One issue we had was the pillows were way too soft and offered almost no support. We were given a pack of baby toiletries each day, which included a hanky. This was an excellent touch for families with young kids. The location was great, as Sunshine City is literally joined to the hotel. However the metro is pretty far away. Staff service was excellent, from reception to the restaurant. There is also a counter that specialises in luggage forwarding. Overall a good experience.

Convenient!
What a great location! The hotel is located right in Sunshine 60, giving easy access to the mall and to local transit. Staff was incredibly friendly with checkin and checkout. Most comfortable bed I stayed in within Japan. WiFi worked great, and conveniently has a stop for the Airport Limousine Bus right outside for easy access to Narita and Haneda. Couldn’t have chosen a better hotel to end our trip!

Very good stay
This is a hotel for tour groups. It is a good hotel very good location to get the subway. Great breakfast. Fun to see all the young people in the attached mall. Many restaurants and shops. Went early a few days before my tour started visited places in Tokyo. Stay on a high floor and it was moved over for the tour. High floor was better. Comfortable small rooms

Front desk staff is bad. I asked for 2 more pillows in person at the front desk. The lady staff told me to go back to my room because they will take it for me right away. I waited for 90 minutes, no one came. I called to the front desk. A male staff said the pillows will come right away. But within half a minute, he called back and told me they DO NOT HAVE any spare pillows. I got angry. He just said SORRY no matter what I said. I insisted to talk to his manager. He hang up. After a minute, he called and said the pillows will come right away. Two pillows came after 5 minutes.

We stayed here the first night in Tokyo and the last night in Tokyo. We utilized the limousine bus service to get to and from Haneda. Very convenient. The hotel staff was great and the room was wonderful. Very clean, cool (after a hot day of walking). Shower was nice and hot with full water pressure. Nice view of the city as well. Kobini located in the lobby was nice too! Lots of variety and options to walk to the Sunshine center to eat or shop etc. I would definitely recommend this place!
