Shin means ‘new’ in Japan

I’ve only got moderate things to say about New Takanawa Prince – the décor has put me off actually staying there. It’s the ‘Takanawa Prince’ that I’m prepared to praise to the skies (as long as the rate is under 15,000 yen).

I do know the New Takanawa Prince offers large rooms and decent bathrooms, a convenient location and is located in beautiful grounds – it’s often extremely good value.

Calling hotels so close together by the same name with just the word 'New' to differentiate them is just asking for trouble! It's very confusing.

The NTP is also located very close to the Le Meridien Pacific (not the Le Meridien Grand Pacific on Odaiba) – there are lots of comments about this property on the SPG board which go into great detail about the pros and cons of the area.
