Sanbu accommodation from NZ$52

Overall a clean and straightforward airport hotel. Beds are great and there are no sound issues considering the close proximity to the airport. We had a good sleep between flights. Staff knows basic english and was helpful. Price was also very affordable and the free airport bus to and from hotel was excellent. Our only complaint were the vending machines - none of them accept credit cards and they don't even accept new yen bills. Luckily there is a money exchange machine in the lobby, so ask the staff to point you in the right direction.

The hotel itself is very solo traveler friendlier, but it's very nosey. Walls are paper thin, you can hear other's tv and kids running up and down the hall ways.

The staff was gracious, the room was clean, and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. My only concern was that the sleeping mats on the floor were thin (by my standards, but obviously many people would disagree!) and I struggled to find a comfortable sleeping position.
