In your description of this hotel, it MUST include that it is not suitable for those with mobility difficulties. The access to the hotel on the second level is a steep stairs from street level. No elevator to the hotel entry; must drag up luggage and bags. Rooms are very small with a 12\" step up to the bathroom. The tub is also very high which makes it unsafe to climb into. Although the location is convenient to shops, restaurants, train station, we would not return there or recommend it to others.

The rooms are too small. I was given a room that hadn’t been cleaned and turned yet. We had to go back down and ask for a new room. The rooms give you no where to set down a suitcase and open it. Suitcases had to be opened on the beds daily. Overpriced imo, there are better hotels near Shibuya which is only a short train ride away. They charge this rate because they’re the only hotel in the area. Pick an Airbnb it’s cheaper and you’ll have more room to live in a space when visiting.

My biggest complaint are the stairs going up to the front desk. It is very steep, and this is the only way to get your luggage up there.
Exiting the hotel with luggage is much easier as you can catch an elevator all the way down to a back exit only, where our taxi picked us up

The location was excellent - felt like we were hanging out with the locals and a 4 minute walk from the rail station. Food and shopping around the area was cheap and plenty, there was a coffee shop and a patisserie within 150 metres of the front door for breakfast, as well as a 711 close by and local minimart next door.
Getting up to the hotel was a bit of a challenge with suitcases as there are about 15 VERY steep marble steps off the footpath to lug your suitcase up.
The staff were very polite and helpful - and available 24 hours a day.
The rooms were very small, and be careful of wording when you book your room - we booked two large twins for 2 adults and an 11 year old who is adult sized which was allowed on lastminute, but found two single beds, and no room for one of us to sleep on the floor once our suitcases were open. The bathroom was a big (80cm) step up from the room into the bathroom, then another step up into the shower over bath so anyone with mobility issues would have struggled.
The hotel itself, while old, was clean and comfortable - with vending machines opposite the lift with beers, highballs and soft drinks, and the lobby had free coffee making and donuts at night for guests, plus complimentary toiletries to collect from the lobby desk if you'd forgotten anything.
Overall the hotel was great, and as we weren't in our room except to sleep at night, we put up with the bedding situation as the price was awesome for 5 nights.

Exactly What I Wanted

I had a great stay at The B. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was clean and tidy at all times and my room was cleaned daily with no issues. As I was staying at the hotel alone my room was on the small side, but the room had a good bathroom and comfortable bed, with a kettle and fridge, so it provided me with everything I needed. The local area was great - good bars and places to eat, and the hotel is situated a minute or so from Sangenjaya station which is very convenient and only 2 stops from Shibuya. I recommend this hotel to people looking for a stay in a good area of the city and close access to the main sites and attractions of Tokyo.

Reasonable hotel I'm a great location.

Myself and my wife really enjoyed our stay at the B. The best part for us was the location. Sangenjaya is small enough to become familiar with after just a couple of days and became a really nice place to retreat to after long days of buzzing around Tokyo. It's also big enough to have some great little bars in the triangle. We didn't try many restaurants in Sangenjaya but the ones we did were ok. There are many 24 hr shops/super markets near the hotel, as well as the carrot tower which is worth a free visit. Sangenjaya has the charm of feeling a little bit off the beaten track for tourists and feels a bit more like real life Tokyo. The Hotel is nothing special, the rooms were small but clean and the staff were friendly. The great thing about the hotel is that it is just a short walk from Sangenjaya station, which is really convenient for a connection to the brilliant, bustling Shubuya and from there the yamanote line connects you to the rest of Tokyo on a Jr pass. The Jr pass doesn't cover the train between Shubuya and Sangenjaya so we purchased a pasmo card and paid using that (400¥ish) pp each way. Overall the hotel was good value for money and even with the extra train costs it seemed to be cheaper than staying in the more popular districts on the Yamanote line.

OK because of the location, but nothing special

Not much to say about this place. When we arrived after midnight, rowdy group of Japanese guys were yelling in the lobby and no one seemed to want to tell them to quiet down. Then we went to the 6th floor and could still hear them in the hallway. The hotel is basic, but being that this area is cool and doesn't have many hotels it's one of the better options. I wish people would make more hotels in this area, but I think the local residents are pretty against it. Bed was comfy. I liked the free coffee and that there is no curfew (also something that other Japanese hotels could learn from!)

I went to Japan on my own and the hotel was perfect for a one person stay. The staff were helpful and very polite, they even gave me extra cosmetics before I went to my room. The size was good for one person, it may have been a bit of a squeeze for two people. The bathroom was very small but as I am also quite small myself I did not mind. For someone who is larger, it would be a problem. The bed was large and it was very comfortable. They offer two kinds of pillows, soft and hard already on the bed for you. There was sufficient table space and other storage spaces for the user. I think the only problem I had with the hotel was the wi-fi speed. It's only really fast enough for basic messaging on your phone and casual use.

Affordable, convenient, but the bathroom size...

I stayed in a Premium Single room. Small room but enough space to walk between the bed and the desk! Big bed, a little too firm for my liking but plenty of pillows. Closet and drawers to hang and store your clothes with a nice view of Tokyo. The staff were very friendly, helpful and multicultural! My only two issues were the steep flight of stairs you have to climb with your baggage to get into the entrance and the super tiny bathroom. If you are tall or husky or both, it is a struggle getting in and out of the bathtub without hitting something and you have to use the toilet sitting sideways. Even for a Japanese unit bathroom it was too compact. I had planned on staying here again on my next business trip but cancelled my reservation because of the bathroom size. Zannen!!

just a brief stop over in Tokyo for me but this hotel was well positioned near to metro stations and also in a part of the city where buildings are not so tall giving a different ambience. There is a nice walking route nearby (turn right out of entrance, going left takes you towards the freeway area) OK, it is Tokyo, so you're still in a big city but given that, the location was pleasant enough. I've stayed here before and would do again. The staff are always very pleasant and normally speak english well.
