Narita Gateway Hotel

Ventajas: spacious room and english speaking/ helpful receptionist

Desventajas: bath tub is dirty :-( I took a dip then realized that the water is too murky!

Out dated hotel

Ventajas: Close to airport, free shuttle to and from airport, narita station and shopping mall.. Which all other hotels around the airport offer for free as well.

Desventajas: Arrived at 12 pm front desk lady tried to get me to pay 700 yen per hour and check early, all I wanted to do was to leave my bags and go out to eat. Hotel is our dated, not Japanese cleaning quality at all. Room was too small, tv is micro screen smaller than your pc monitor!!

Ventajas: Convenient airport shuttle.

Desventajas: Booked a non-smoking room,was giving a smoking one.When asked to change rooms I was told there where no rooms available.

Ventajas: Close to Narita airport. Nice to have a free shuttle into the city of Narita itself. Lunch buffet was limited in selection but staff was very hard working and being extremely helpful and gracious.

Desventajas: This hotel is geared for large group travel or business travel requiring no more than two days maximum. Lobby was extremely noisy by a large group of mainland Chinese while the staff did nothing to quite them. They said it was normal. The bathroom in our room had mold and mildew along the walls. We experience an earthquake during our stay (7.8 at the epicenter) and was surprises to find the elevators still operating. The staff did not contact any guest, regarding the earthquake, either by phone or in person to see if guest and building was well. We have had experience with earthquakes and their reaction is surprising

Ventajas: The room was clean and comfortable, and like other airport hotels in Tokyo, was capable of being completely blacked out with sliding shutters.

Desventajas: I paid for a room that included breakfast for a day stay on a 13.5 hour layover, but breakfast stopped at 930. I arrived at 10. The restaurant wasn't even open, so I had to eat food from the lobby convenience store, which was only okay. Since this hotel offers day stays for such travelers, they should have better hours for the restaurant, or not charge people for meals they can't eat. My room was right next to the elevator and quite noisy, so luckily I had earplugs. Also, when I walked up the staff was unfriendly, saying that rooms were all booked before I could even say I had a reservation. Even when I did say I had a reservation, the lady seemed like I might not be able to get a room, and overall seemed unenthusiastic about helping me. This attitude was definitely a strange anomaly to encounter in Japan, not at all the usual level of politeness, so they should probably improve their customer service.
