PETALS TOKYO - Floating Hotel

It was a very beautiful botel! Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Location was great. Razor was great too. Highly recommend.

The staff was so helpful, and went above and beyond in every way. Really made us feel special! The rooms were huge and luxurious, the beds were very comfortable. Being on the river was lovely. No movement at night, only in the day when boats go by. I easily get seasick and I had no motion issues at all.

We really enjoyed our stay at Petals. The staff is very attentive and caring. The setting was unlike anywhere else we have stayed. Many good restaurants close by. We will miss our quiet and comfortable cottage with its many high tech features.

The absolute best property we stayed at in our tour of Japan. Nothing, it was amazing!

Extremely spacious with unbelievable amenities inside the room. Heated towel rack, electric curtains, beautiful large windows with views of the water and Mother Nature, robes, slippers, all kinds of toiletries, a very punctual employee delivered breakfast to our floating room each morning and an oversized bathroom. The water in the shower could have been a little hotter for me.

This was a great find!! Amazing room and location. The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve experienced in all of our Japan travels. The room was top notch in every way. We couldn’t figure out where to find the ice. We wanted ice around 7:30am and the office was locked so couldn’t get in. No staff at that time so couldn’t even ask anyone.

We loved the beautiful accommodations and ease of access to the airport.

Unmatched atmosphere, literally the ONLY option to experience this area. The water it overlooks and the artistic visions of both the outside and inside the property are amazing. The staff are delightfully attentive and truly care, every single night. There was nothing to dislike everything was perfect.

Such a unique and peaceful stay. We only stayed one night and wished we stayed longer. Rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. We definitely will stay again if we visit Japan again!

I knew this would be a unique place to stay in Tokyo, but didn't expect how luxurious our room would be. It was really the size of a studio apartment, with beautiful, high end finishes and fixtures, a spacious bathroom with double vanity, large shower and separate Toto Washlet, a table with 4 chairs, sofa, stereo as well as TV, and a super comfortable king size bed. Everything you could need was provided; boxed drinking water, plates, glasses and cutlery, bathroom necessities and even pajamas in our sizes. My husband and I are vegan and each morning we were delivered a Japanese breakfast bento box with a selection of vegetable dishes, rice balls and miso soup, with a hand-written menu.. The service was impeccable and personalized; the staff speak excellent English. The location in the Arts District is convenient for Haneda airport, but it is in a quiet area with a limited number of restaurants close by. However, there is a rail station on the Rinkai line within a 15 minute walk, from which trains go to Shibuya and Shinjuku.

Immaculate room. Beautiful view, and a gorgeous neighborhood to take a stroll among multiple pieces of public art.

We’ve stayed at many different luxury accommodations, however unit 1 at Petals Tokyo surpasses them all. Lying in your bed at night you can see the lantern lit Japanese house boats (dinner cruises) passing by. The general waves barely noticeable, but adding to the ambiance all the same. As the lights ripple across the water. Accentuating the sky rises surrounding you. It still amazes me how this fairly central located hotel is so quiet, especially at night. With the occasional fish jumping or the diving birds splash the water around you. Three restaurants with water front sitting located less than a stones throw away. Very well designed artsy feel, yet extreme technologically advanced touches. Such as fully automated drapes and sheets controls from your bed. Simply amazing location. I didn’t stay long enough. There’s nothing about this property I would change.

Superb

What a beautiful, unique experience! We loved our stay here and it was truly special. There are only 4 units and every boathouse is unique. We stayed in unit 2 which was simply gorgeous. It should be rated a five star, given the attention to detail with high end finishes, bath amenities, robes, slippers, etc. The bathroom was gorgeous- I felt like I was at the Ritz Carlton ! I would guess it doesn’t qualify as a five star rating since it doesn’t have a restaurant, pool etc on premise. However there are fabulous restaurants in the area. The staff was also knowledgeable and very helpful. The reservation desk was close to the property but not attached and agents were not always there 24 hrs but they were always accessible by phone. Since it is right on the water, you can watch ducks, marine life and boats go by. We would love to return. We have stayed in many five star properties but this one was extra special.

We loved our stay here. The rooms on the water are large and such a neat experience. The staff person is just lovely and helpful in every way. We highly recommend staying here.

Everything!!! This is by far the best place I’ve stayed in Japan across many different visits. Spacious room, great views, quirky and fun, super stylish and comfortable. Mina-san was very accomodating and we were lucky enough to get an early check-in when we popped in to drop off our bags after arriving at Haneda. The location is great, easy access to the Monorail for Haneda and Shinagawa Station for Narita. Cool newish area with some good cafes and restaurants as well as an art museum. We will definitely be back next time we are in Tokyo.

The attention to detail and quality of amenities was exceptional. Every choice is intentional and contributes to the feeling of being in a premium space. Not a single thing.

A microwave would be a great addition to the room.

My partner and I stayed here for one night just to check out what it would be like to stay on a houseboat. I wish we had been able to stay much longer. This is the closest I’ve felt to being in a house while getting all the advantages of a hotel. It’s very roomy: there is tons of storage space and two large closets, a lovely bed that struck the right balance between firm and soft, a fun comfy couch, a table where we enjoyed our breakfast service while gazing out the floor to ceiling windows onto the canals and neighboring islands, a beautiful shower, and a toilet who’s seat automatically lifts when you enter the water closet. The staff was very attentive, communicating with me several times before I even arrived about things to consider. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but very easy to access by subway and a walk of a few blocks. The neighborhood feels thoughtful new suburban. These houseboats certainly add charm and character.

We only spent one night at Petals, the last of 19 nights in Japan, but this is a hotel stay that we will remember forever. It's just so different from a normal hotel. The houseboat itself was immaculate in terms of decor, facilities and cleanliness. The area itself (a former warehouse district) has been repurposed and is full of interesting bars, restaurants, cafes and art-related premises, as well as a few top quality office developments to give it a feeling of permanence. The monorail to Haneda is a 5 minute walk away. Stepping out of our "room" onto the gangway, and then the waterfront to grab breakfast at an amazing patisserie a block away felt special. The communications with the staff was perfect. The hotel reception is a ground floor office a half block away from the houseboats. The quality of the room itself was 11 out of 10. The outside decor of the houseboats is much higher quality than photos taken from a distance would suggest. There was nothing we didn't like. In the morning, the boat rocked a little when a larger vessel went passed. We loved it, but some guests may not.
