The room is super clean. The staff is super friendly spoke very good English. Very helpful and always on top of everything. Breakfast is very basic. I didn’t eat there. Laundry facility was OK.

Sleeping area was better than hard tatami beds but not full western mattress. If you love firm mattresses you will definitely love them. Free breakfast was only toast tea and coffee, but family mart is conveniently at the exit and easy access to subway trains. Personally I’d book again due to its commodity, not much but not little.

Hotel is nicely located just a five minute walk from Hatagaya Station, giving you good access to the rest of the city. The surrounding neighborhood is cozy with a couple convenience store just steps out the front door. A shot walk also to Yoyogi Park and a couple of lovely shrines. The front desk staff was ever present and courteous. The free breakfast mostly consists of coffee, tea, juice, and some toast with butter and jam. Enough to get you started on your day.
We stayed in the “Japanese style” room. It’s comfortable and utilitarian with a small kitchenette. You are susceptible to outside noise from trucks and other passerby’s from behind the building but otherwise, a good base for active sights. All in all, a good value proposition.

This hotel is absolutely delightful! Location wise you are one street away from the train, and the surrounding area has supermarket, convenience stores and eateries. From the moment you enter the staff greet you with lovely smiles. The rooms are spotlessly clean and have all you need (yes small but we are in Japan) and the breakfast is plentiful with toast, drinks and miso. The cafe is delicious! (we ate there three times during our stay and every dish was so good) I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough; it’s perfect!

I stayed at this hotel as a solo traveller and it was great. It was about an hour long train journey from Haneda airport. A 2 minute walk to Hatagaya station and overall a convenient location for transit (~15 mins to Shinjuku Staion). The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The breakfast consisted of toast, soup, coffee, and orange juice. But there were other options nearby (local cafe and a McDonald's 2 mins away). I would definitely recommend to others.

Staff were rude on arrival. I tried to check-in twice. First time, I kept getting interrupted by other guests trying to get their luggage and the staff kept catering towards them instead of asking them to wait their turn. I was then asked to step aside and the staff proceeded to finish with a guest that interrupted. The staff then forgot I was there and helped a guest that was behind me. When it was finally my turn, he was about to help another person who was behind me (after being asked by someone who appeared to be a tour staff) but the person behind me said to help me first. During check-in, he didn’t explain anything to me and just handed me the hotel information card. That’s not all. They only had one elevator that barely fit 2 ppl with 2 luggage. The hallway was dark. The room had a weird smell. The room was so small, you couldn’t open the fridge door completely. The AC was loud and dusty. The bed was stiff, and squeaky. I felt so uncomfortable, I left and booked elsewhere. If you choose to stay here, be wary.

Great place if you don’t need to be right in the heart of Shibuya. It is in a lovely area and it is close enough for us.
The room was great because we got four futons so my kids and I could all fit. Each with our own bed. It was nothing fancy and doesn’t have all the amenities that most Japanese hotels have but the staff were amazing and very helpful. And like I said, it was a really lovely neighborhood. If I was going to live near Shibuya, this would probably be where I would stay. It was a bit under the way for all of the action, but it was quiet so that was good. I would definitely stay there again.

Sakura Hotel is conveniently located near the train station and surrounded by small restaurants, which makes getting around and finding meals easy. Family Mart is just in the corner. The hotel has small rooms but includes amenities like a laundry area and café. However, it felt quite expensive compared to the previous hotel we stayed at, which included a buffet breakfast for less. The hotel building itself isn’t very appealing, and it takes two train rides to reach Shibuya. Overall, good for location, but not the best value or aesthetics

He made us feel at home. Also, the location is superb. Just two short stops from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku Station. Around the hotel at Hatagaya Station are convenience Stores, and reasonably prices restaurants.

My favorite stay thought my trip. The beds were uncomfortable but I figured they would be as I booked a traditional style room with mats on the floor. Otherwise, the staff was just wonderful, there was laundry by the office and everything you needed in that room! Everything is so close by including the station, and if you book here, be sure to try the bakery with the black label on the corner and the soy ramen across the main road hiding up the stairs (also sells tacos). I do not remember their names but I can guarantee they are the best! The ramen was the best ramen I had throughout my whole trip. I cannot rave enough about the staff and stay at this hotel! Book it, you will not be disappointed!

The restaurant / bar has an eclectic selection of international dishes and beers, as well as local options. If you don't fancy eating in, there are half a dozen restaurants less than a 2 minute walk away. There's a post office next door and a kombini / convenience store on the corner. They even have a currency exchange machine offering a competitive exchange rate.
It's very well located only 2 stops from Shinjuku station, with trains every few minutes.
The rooms are tiny, however that means they are nicely chilled after only a couple of minutes of switching on the air conditioning.
The mattresses are very firm, and the toilet paper is so thin you can see through it.
