For around US$150 a night you can get a great room in Tokyo. Here are my favorite mid-budget hotels in Tokyo, all personally inspected.

Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo

The mid-range is the real sweet spot in Tokyo accommodation. If you're willing to spend around US$150 (Y17,000) a night, there are lots of comfortable and well-located hotels in Tokyo. Here is my very subjective list of the best mid-range and business hotels in Tokyo. Be sure to check my Where to Stay in Tokyo page before deciding where to stay.
