My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was excellent near Shibuya station, the rooms were small and sometimes not as clean as expected. The service was friendly but lacked enthusiasm, especially regarding early check-in. The dining options were average, with some complimentary offerings but also some poor aspects. Overall, the hotel provided a good value for the money, considering its proximity to the heart of Shibuya.

The hotel is a great place to crash in central Tokyo with everything you need, though the rooms are a bit dated but functional. The annex room is reasonably big for two people, but it can get extremely small, making it a challenge to accommodate larger luggage. The staff are so helpful and polite, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The location near Shibuya train station is ideal, close to restaurants and shopping malls, making it easy to get around the city. However, the dining options, more oriented toward Japanese taste, may not suit all preferences.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although clean and equipped with amenities, was smaller than expected and felt cramped with two people. The service received at the reception was helpful, but not overly pleasant, especially during check-in. The location of the hotel was excellent, close to Shibuya Station and with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was decent, with friendly restaurant staff, offering satisfactory meals. The facilities at the hotel were average.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Shibuya, making it ideal for exploring the area's eateries and shopping options. The rooms, though cozy and comfortable, may feel a bit small for two people with limited space to move around. The service provided was friendly and efficient, although there was an extra charge for some patrons at the restaurant. The dining experience, while offering a selection of breakfast options, may not be considered extraordinary. The location is terrific, despite some construction work nearby, and the facilities are adequate for a pleasant stay.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from Shibuya station, surrounded by many food areas and shopping spots. The rooms, though not too modern in design, are comfortable. However, the centrally controlled heating system can make the rooms too hot for comfort, forcing guests to open windows for relief.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is superb, right in the heart of the vibrant Shibuya district, providing easy access to all the action. However, the room I stayed in was uncomfortably warm due to a faulty air conditioner and lacked adequate lighting. The service was generally helpful, though there were minor hiccups with communication. Dining options were basic, reflecting the modest offerings in the rooms, but the hotel's facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is ideally located, just a 4-minute walk from Shibuya's main train station, making it convenient to explore Tokyo. While the rooms in the annex section were a bit noisy due to street and neighboring room sounds, they were clean overall. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist, even helping with luggage to the station. The dining experience left much to be desired, with poor quality and high prices. However, the vicinity to Shibuya Crossing and a host of charming restaurants added to the location's appeal.
