The budget Hotel Horidome is located in Tokyo's Chuo District, a two-minute walk to Kodemmacho subway station, in an area with traditional restaurants, Shinto shrines, and artisan shops. Public spaces have a fresh, renovated look, and the 92 guest rooms are modern but small and bland in decor. They come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, and Wi-Fi, which is free throughout the hotel. Although there's no breakfast service, free morning coffee and tea are available in the lobby. The hotel also has coin-operated washer/dryers on every floor, and vending machines sell drinks. Travelers looking for a hotel with more character might want to consider the Taito Ryokan, a 12-minute drive away, which has traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats and futons.

The mid-range Hotel Monterey Ginza attempts an elegant European look, with high ceilings, chandeliers, and lots of wood paneling in its public areas, though the results are mixed. Its 224 guest rooms tend to be cramped -- not surprising for Tokyo -- but they're decorated in a simple, elegant style and well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles, and air purifiers. The hotel is located in the middle of Ginza's shopping district and within walking distance to its many boutiques, and it's just a few minutes' walk from Ginza subway station. For a more modern decor -- and lower rates -- it's also worth checking out nearby Tokyu Stay Nihonbashi.

This modern, stylish upscale hotel has one of the best locations in Sapporo, right between Sapporo and Odori stations, and within walking distance of restaurants and tourist attractions. The 181 rooms are a mix of modern styles, with crisp white duvets and large flat-screen TVs. But it's small details that make the difference, like hand grinders to make freshly ground coffee in the morning for guests in Cross Floor rooms. The hallways and other common areas are dimly lit, which gives it a sophisticated atmosphere that won't please everyone, but is sharp nonetheless. The hotel’s high-floor onsen baths have a nice view of the city and the restaurant works with locally-grown produce, though there’s an extra fee for breakfast. It’s a hip, well-priced pick for central Sapporo.

This mid-range hotel, part of a Japanese chain, is right in the middle of Sapporo, just two blocks from Odori Park and Odori Station, and close to plenty of shopping. The hotel has plain, often dated decor, but the 147 rooms -- which include suites with separate living rooms -- are large by Japanese standards and decorated in soothing colors. There are three on-site restaurants, including two that serve breakfast, a Chinese eatery, and a modern bar. For something with similar rates and features, but more contemporary interiors, travelers should investigate the Mitsui Garden Hotel, which is closer to Sapporo Station but has smaller rooms.
