A budget hotel in Tokyo costs Y12,000 (US$105) or less for a single, twin or double. In some seasons, you might pay a bit more or less. Most budget hotels in Tokyo are located away from the city center, in less fashionable neighborhoods like Asakusa and Ueno. But, you can even find good budget hotels in hot spots like Roppongi and Ginza. Here are my favorite budget hotels in the city, based on price, quality, location and service. Be sure to check my Where to Stay in Tokyo page before deciding where to stay. These are listed in order of preference.

Here are some more good budget hotels, also listed in order of preference. You’ll note that most of these are in slightly inconvenient areas. You save some money by staying in such areas, but think carefully if the savings is worth the inconvenience (and factor in travel costs). Read my Where to Stay in Tokyo page for more details on this.
