Recommended Hotels Near Kawagoe Station

Kawagoe Tobu Hotel

Kawagoe
|0.2km from city center
So close to the subway station, and it's fully covered, so no worries about rain! The room isn't huge, and those two chairs really aren't necessary. The bathroom has excellent wet/dry separation, but opening a 28-inch suitcase is a bit of a squeeze.

Super Hotel Saitama Kawagoe

Kawagoe
|0.56km from city center
The location is a little far from Kawagoe, but I love it. It's close to the food court, which is full of food and shopping. The room is also nicely laid out, with a table and sofa for watching TV. The food is delicious, especially the curry rice. There's also a wide variety of drinks. Best of all, the hot springs are there! A day out and soaking in the hot springs makes all the fatigue melt away. I'll definitely be back!

Kawagoe Prince Hotel

Kawagoe
|0.75km from city center
The hotel is located very close to the train station, which makes it convenient for travelers. Right in front of the hotel is a Matsuya, and at night the area comes alive with plenty of izakaya options nearby. Parking is available, but it’s not underground—it’s situated beside the hotel. One thing to note is that the hotel does not have a public bathroom outside of the rooms. The facilities overall feel rather dated, so if you are particular about modern amenities, this might be something to keep in mind.

Kawagoe Yuyu Land Hotel Sanko

Kawagoe
|1.12km from city center
I came here after attending the fireworks festival. It was already late. I called and was told that it was okay to check in later and that I should take my time and not rush. Google navigation led me to the entrance of the parking lot next to it. I had to go around to the other side of the block to find the hotel, and the door next to it was a massage parlor. The guy came out and explained it to me clearly with words and gestures. Turn a corner to the door, take the elevator to the second floor, there is a platform where you need to take off your shoes before entering, and the shoes are stored in the cabinet area on the right. Check in at the front desk on the far right, the staff are very nice. Go to the left and take the elevator to the room. Although it is not big, it is quite clean and a set of indoor clothes is provided. I didn't have time to go to the big bath, but it was quite comfortable to take a bath in the room. It is very close to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, just a ten or twenty minute walk away. The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of styles. Who would have thought that the best meal of the day during the trip would be the hotel's breakfast!

Daily Hotel Koedo Kawagoe

Kawagoe
|1.29km from city center
Convenient location near the townscape and shopping street of Kurazukuri, the best base for sightseeing. The rooms and buildings are clean and calm, with a free breakfast buffet and 24-hour coffee service, Cospa ◎. The front desk and staff are polite and safe, and it is a hotel that is widely used for ”traveling alone”, ”sightseeing” and ”easy accommodation”.
