We stayed at this hotel one night. With taxes, we paid 456.00 CAD. It might have been worth 150.00 at most. Its a small room, this is fairly standard at most hotels in Japan, so expected that. No amenities in the room, you could pick them up at the front desk, fine, for the cost, I think they could have put them in the room. Other hotels we stayed at for less, were always stocked.
It’s obviously an old hotel and it was not that clean in the rooms. There is no bedside table or light. There is also only one plugin beside the bed. It’s a small convenience most hotels have. There is a ledge above the bed, so used that to leave my phone.
Our hallway was bright and cheery, which was lovely, but the floor our friends were on was black. It was a bit off putting for them.
It’s definitely a party area too. I mean that is great people are having a good time for sure! However, there were hotels in the area that rented rooms by the hour. I mean it said to rest for short periods of time, but I’m not sure that’s the intent.
It is close to the train station and many bars and restaurants. It feels like a shady area though. If I had known more about the Shibuya area, we probably would not have stayed there and just took a train to visit.
Back to the staff,when we checked in, it was quick and efficient. There was what looked like a lounge area, so we thought we’d have a drink. We asked the front staff and were told it was for pancakes only or go ask ourselves. In short I don’t recommend it
