Very convenient location, close to a main train station. Rooms are small, which is typical for the area, but could use some updating. Things like peeling paint and looking a bit rundown. But overall still a comfortable stay. Staff was very nice, though we had asked for some help setting up a couple of tours that we were interested in and they didn’t quite know how to help us with that. This may be them, or maybe that these types of things don’t exist in the area. Overall very friendly and helpful staff, great location, and adequate rooms.

The hotel is right outside of the train station, but it is difficult to find because the signage is not on the door and only faces one way. We walked around for a long time before realizing that we had walked past the hotel a few times. The rooms are small, but the price and location are excellent.

This hotel was surprisingly convenient to Shibuya Station, had a large room, especially by Japan standards, a large bathroom with very good water pressure and temperature…only thing missing was the breakfast room/pizza room mentioned on their website. But Uber Eats delivers there, so our hangryness and unwillingness to venture out at the moment was solved. There’s a ton going on all around but you’d never know from the room - great soundproofing! Just can’t emphasize how convenient to everything in Shibuya and how great the room was.

SUPER convenient location! You literally walk outside the hotel, take a right and Shibuya Station is right in front of you. Super close to a 7-Eleven and FamilyMart too! Daily cleaning for the room and I thought the shower looking directly into the room was super cool. The single rooms were suuuper small. I brought a checked bag and a carry on and i really didn’t have room to keep both in there. I had to keep the small one standing next to the mirror super awkwardly because otherwise there wouldn’t have been enough room to open the door, but honestly I found that really charming because you don’t see things like that where I’m from!! It’s definitely a talking point when I tell my friends about my vacation :)) Super nice staff as well.

I booked a standard room, but there was no clear mention before booking that it might be a smoking room. After booking, it was marked as “requested smoking room,” even though I never requested this.

The hotel is very old and has an unpleasant smell throughout, making the atmosphere feel stuffy and uncomfortable. It did not match the positive reviews I had seen online.

The bed was uncomfortable, and the bathroom was not in good condition—the bathtub was broken and the toilet did not work properly. Overall, the room felt poorly maintained.

The location looks close to Shibuya on the map, but due to surrounding construction and blocked roads, it takes much longer to reach than expected.

Overall, the experience did not match expectations in terms of cleanliness, comfort, or accuracy of description

Staff were great to deal with, polite, professional and helpful. Great location to everything. I had some difficulty to find hotel initially due to overhead walkways required to get to general area from train station. Once I had it figured, it was easy to get around. Property & room could use some refreshing. Overall met my needs for 1 night stay and experience for that area.

Room was clean and tidy, staff were really nice and friendly. Room is small, but as to he expected in Japan, though it is a little bigger than APA hotel for comparison. TV screen was a little dated and small, and there are no international news channels - there are movies but I think you need to pay to watch the movies. Room amenities are replaced daily, including bottles of water.

Location is very handy. If you are taking the airport shuttle bus, it's only 1300 yen per person one way. From Haneda airport you can get off at Cerulean Tower which is only 5 mins walk to Granbell Hotel. For the return journey, you can purchase the ticket on the bus at Cerulean Tower. I did see signs for Narita Airport at Cerulean Tower, so assuming you can get the shuttle bus to and from Narita Airport too.

The hotel is very close to Shibuya Station and Shibya Scramble, only a few mins walk, handy if you want to pop back to the hotel for a rest if you're out and about the area. 7-11, Lawson's and Family Mart are all close by for drinks and snacks.

Google Maps isn't very clear, especially with how many floors you need to go up or down! If you're taking the JR Yamanote line, the station is just 2 mins from Granbell Hotel, in Shibuya Sakura Stage, 3rd floor. Although in the heart of Shibuya, hotel is located in a quieter area which is nice.

Only thing is the room can do with a new coating of paint, a lot of marks on the walls from suitcase wheels.

Definitely a great hotel to stay in.

The location is brilliant, a 5-7min walk to the station (which is like a maze) and it’s a bit of quiet away from the absolute craziness of Shibuya.
The room was comfortable, we slept well and amazingly you couldn’t hear any noise. Housekeeping was great as were amenities in the suite. The maintenance was a bit off - a few broken light bulbs and broken cupboard door.
Reception was hit and miss, one particularly grumpy chap bur mostly everyone else was really nice
Free water in room and in reception was great
Missed digital tv / English speaking channels
The kettle took 20mins to boil

The Granbell seems like its past its prime days — once a nice hotel has fallen into a need of renovation. Besides the tiny room and the fact that the lighting (especially in the bathroom) was terrible, the service was very good, the bed was very comfortable, the amenities were sufficient, the location is excellent and the price affordable. In this case, you get what you pay for.

If you are a Shibuya person, this is the best location. It is located just a few steps from the Shibuya stop of the Narita Express at the New South Exit. The exit is so new, there are not even signs that tell you where it is if you are trying to enter it. It is steps away from supermarkets, pharmacy, restaurant, and shopping. Best of all the price is affordable. The hotel rooms could be bigger and luxurious but for the price and location, it is unbeatable.

I loved every single staff they were so helpful and they all had smiles each time. Good staff really have an impact on stays and this made me want to come back if I was to stay in Shibuya again. The location is perfect as well it’s walking distance from a lot of touristy areas like the Starbucks reserve, Shibuya crossing, metro, like literally everything.
