Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel Review. The Best Family Hotel in Tokyo?

Is the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel worth it? My honest Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel review after an 8 night stay . Our full family experience at this beautiful hotel close to Tokyo and Tokyo Disneyland.

Our review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you’re looking for a family-friendly Tokyo hotel with a luxury feel, spacious rooms, and fantastic transport links then the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel deserves a place on your short list. We have stayed in dozens of Tokyo hotels over the years, and the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince hotel is one of the best we’ve ever experienced.

We read so many Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince hotel reviews before we decided to book our family room, but most of these weren’t from people travelling as a family. And if you’ve travelled with kids, you’ll know that their needs are so different from the needs of adult and solo travellers. Which is why I’ve put together this Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince hotel review with families in mind:

At A Glance: The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

The Shiomi Prince hotel is sleek and modern, and so close to the station that you can see the trains passing by from some of the windows (soundproofing means that you can’t hear them though!)

The hotel’s proximity to the station is a great benefit of this hotel, and we loved that at the end of a long day of exploring, we could walk back to the hotel from the station in less than 2 minutes. This hotel is on the JE line, and the nearest station is Shiomi. Just what you need when your feet are throbbing from a day of exploring the city!

Where Is The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel?

The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel is located in the heart of Shiomi, right next to Shiomi station. From here it’s easy to access the following locations:

• Tokyo Station: 7 minutes via public transport
• Maihama (Disney): 17 minutes via public transport
• Haneda Airport: 1 hour by pubic transport or 19 minutes drive time via taxi
• Narita Airport: 1 hour 24 minutes by public transport or 50 minutes drive time via taxi

The Rooms At The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

The rooms at the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince hotel might seem quite cramped by western standards, but they’re incredibly spacious by Japanese standards. This gave us enough space to comfortably open our multiple suitcases without having to climb over them. Something every parent travelling with children will appreciate. Because nothing ruins a trip faster than kids fighting because they’re too close to each other all the time.

The photo below shows the family room that’s set up for 4, and as you can see the beds are very close together but they’re also absolutely enormous! Soft and comfortable. The pillows were soft and the bedding was cosy too. We all slept so well, which is the biggest compliment you can pay to any hotel.

The room also boasted a large wardrobe (which was a godsend for all our luggage) and the bathroom, toilet, and open vanity area were all separate. The vanity had a great ring light that was great for doing my make up!

Ideal for a family, as it meant there was no fighting for the bathroom (and no one coming into the use the loo when you’re relaxing in the bath!). There was a big screen TV (with English language news channel) and USB charging points as well as regular plug points, ideal if you don’t bring enough adaptors.

When you’re trying to charge phones for the adults, Nintendo switches and headphones for the kids, and still have enough sockets for your hair dryer and hair straighteners every day, I know this sounds like a small point but I can’t emphasise enough how much easier it made our stay!

In terms of the amenities including in the rooms, these were also plentiful and of high quality too. Like most Japanese hotels there were soft cotton waffle pyjamas (so don’t pack yours, save the space in your luggage) and the hotel has a self-service amenities bar.

This is a pretty common system in Japan, and if you’re not familiar, you can go and choose whatever you need with the selection available including moisturizing lotion, Moisturizing milk, Face wash, Liquid cleanser, Hair treatment, Cotton pad, Cotton swabs, Hair tie, Hairbrush, Razor, Shaving cream, Body towel, and Shower cap.

In the room are Shampoo, Conditioner, Body soap, Hand soap, Toothbrush, and Washable slippers.

The Facilities At The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

You walk into the hotel and straight into a huge reception with comfy seats to sink into (just what we needed after a long flight) and the reception staff were friendly and spoke English, which was great for us as it meant the check in process went very smoothly.

The main restaurant in the hotel is called the Tide Table Shiomi, and the restaurant here serves both Western and Japanese dishes with locally sourced ingredients. If you choose to have breakfast in the hotel, this is where you will enjoy your meal.

There are lifts up to the all the room floors, and there’s also a fitness room/gym and a traditional bathhouse.

On the subject of food, Shiomi has lots of local restaurants surrounding the station. So you’ll have plenty of cheap eat options – a couple of the ramen shops were particularly delicious.

The hotel also boasts a full service spa, but as I was travelling with two little boys, I didn’t get the chance to try it. And it’s worth mentioning that the hotel also provides car parking (though most tourists don’t hire cars when visiting Tokyo!) This cost JPY 2,200 per night.

If you’re travelling with younger kids then there is a kids room and a nursing room showing clearly that the hotel is targetting families, and that they’re made to feel so welcome when they arrive at this hotel. You can also ask for cots or extra beds for toddlers in your room.

What we did use A LOT was the on site convenience store. On our way up to our room every night, we would let our kids pick a new weird and wonderful Japanese snack food , then we’d have a bed picnic before we went to sleep!

There’s also free wifi in the hotel, which was a godsend for planning where we wanted to go, and what we wanted to do, next. Finally, there are vending machines, ideal for if you’re thirsty in the middle of the night!

The Prices At The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel

Since our stay, prices have increased considerably during peak travel periods. The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel is no longer the budget option it once was, but it’s still an excellent value option given the room size, facilities, and location. Because its equidistant between Tokyo Station and the Disneyland Parks, it appeals to travelers that want to visit both locations as part of their Tokyo stay.

If you’re staying at the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince then I HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of the proximity to visit Tokyo Disneyland.

Booking via Klook (our recommended booking partner), a 5 night stay for 2 adults and 2 children visiting in September would cost £129.68 per night, as this is an off-season stay. Showing that, if you’re not trying in peak periods, this is still a very affordable choice.

Family Tips

✔ Don’t forget to pack your swimsuits if you’re planning on using the spa
✔ No need to stop for drinks and snacks on the way back to the hotel, and carry your supplies half way across Tokyo. The FamilyMart downstairs in the hotel foyer is brilliant, and always fully stocked!
✔ Don’t pack pyjamas. Super soft cotton waffle pyjamas are provided in the room, and kids sizes are available on request
✔ If you want a family room, book this early. These are generally the first to sell out!

FAQS

Is Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel A Good Location?

Yes! The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel is in an excellent location. It’s located a stone’s throw from Shiomi Station on the Keiyō Line (JE line). In fact, it’s so close to the station that you can see it from the windows on the left-hand side of the building. (photo below)

You’re just 7 minutes (and two stops) away from Tokyo Station, which is a great gateway to the rest of Tokyo. And if you plan to visit Tokyo Disneyland, then you’re just 9 minutes away from Maihama Station, which is the gateway to the Disney resort.

Is Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel A Good Place To Stay?

This is by far the best hotel we’ve stayed in during our visits to Japan. It’s in a great location, the room sizes are good, it offers excellent amenities, and it has a fun and stylish vibe too.

If you’re visiting Tokyo with kids and looking for a hotel that will meet all of their needs whilst still being an amazing spot for adults to relax and unwind (thank you onsen bath!) then this is a great choice.

Is It Worth Staying At The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel For Disney?

When you’re travelling with kids and all the luggage that involves, the ideal of changing hotel every 3-4 days simply isn’t appealing. So one of the reasons we chose the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince hotel is because it makes it so easy to get to the Tokyo Disney Resort AND Tokyo from the same base.

Getting from Shiomi Station to Tokyo Disneyland takes just 17 minutes. You get on the JE line and travel from Shiomi Station to Maihama Station, with no need to change lines at any point, so it really couldn’t be any easier. We would definitely stay at the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel for our visits to the Tokyo Disney Resort again.

Can You Leave Luggage At The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel?

Yes! Our flight arrived early and left late. But there was a secure luggage room, and the staff were happy to keep our luggage for us (suitcases, holdalls and backpacks) so that we didn’t waste a minute and could get straight out and explore. This seems to be common practice across the city (though some storage facilities are more secure than others).

Does the Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel have good reviews?

Yes! In addition to this review (I would consider this a great review) we found that almost all of the reviews we read of the hotel were good, praising its location, quality, and comfortable spacious rooms.
