Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3

8/10 Good
"Villa Fontaine is conveniently located at Terminal 3, making it an excellent choice if you need to catch an international flight. The hotel has great laundry facilities and an onsite onsen available for an additional fee. There are also plenty of eateries and airport shopping options nearby, which is very convenient. However, the hotel is extremely busy and crowded, and shopping centres outside the airport are quite far away. Overall, it is a practical choice for an overnight stay before a flight, but less ideal if you plan to spend your time exploring shopping malls"

The remote control might need new batteries(Room 201) The breakfast was good: good quality, other than margarine, thee โ€œAsari no tukudaniโ€ was excellent. The variety of menu was good, too. I had only Japanese menu though: I did not have any sausages, crumbled eggs, etc."
