Reply To: Hotels in Japan with soft mattresses
Hi
I recently stayed at the Hilton Shinjuku and for me the mattress was great and the pillows were beautiful and soft
They also offered me a fully universal room but I don’t know how many they have. I loved the attention to detail though. A fully disabled toilet in the lobby and the shuttle bus to Shinjuku Station was great. They lifted my wheelchair however there’s a step to get up which I managed ok
I thought the bed was a good height but I don’t know how high though. I’m 5ft 7.5
I shouted myself this hotel, it certainly won’t be a regular thing
I have stayed at the Prince hotel in Shinagawa and the mattress was a lot harder than the Hilton
I have also stayed in a business hotel in Nihonbashi, that was my first trip and in a single bed eww. I couldn’t do that again. If you can, try for a 4 star
My son makes it easier for me by wheeling me around and doing the talking
Yes, they need buses with completely drop down floors especially the buses to Narita
I definitely would have got on the bus if this was the case, I discovered the same at the Prince Hotel, I don’t know about shuttle buses
Sorry off topic….
