Sakura Fleur Aoyama — Hotel in Tokyo

This hotel was absolutely wonderful! I stayed here for 8 days. Every one of the staff was so gracious, kind and friendly and they speak English very well. The hotel is a short walk from JR Shibuya Station (about 5-10 minutes once you learn your way around) so it’s very conveniently located. It’s close to restaurants, shopping, nightlife and the train station to travel anywhere you need to in Tokyo. The hotel decor is adorable and they give you free water bottles every day. As a non-smoker I was initially concerned that the non-smoking rooms would smell like smoke since the hotel offers smoking rooms (I’ve been in other hotels where this was the case) but not here! There was no smell at all! It was as if the entire establishment were non-smoking, which was a huge relief for me. Room was pretty spacious for Tokyo and the price was a great value for the location. All in all, this hotel was everything I could hope for! I would definitely book here again.

With all the construction going on at Shibuya Station here’s how to get to the hotel in case your Google Maps instructions don’t work (like mine didn’t) exit JR Shibuya Station at the Hachiko Exit, walk to your right then turn right when you pass the station building. Walk straight under the construction pass-through, straight through the next intersection and at the following 5-way intersection take a sharp right, go over the footbridge and the hotel is...

Tiny rooms, as others have noted. But the hotel could have made the rooms pleasant with white walls and efficient furnishings that gave you a place to put your stuff. Instead, the room had drab wallpaper, faux French country furnishings (including wrought-iron bedposts), and a ton of unnecessary junk filling the narrow desk space at the window. When there is barely enough room to move, much less open your suitcase, you don't want the only horizontal surface in the entire room covered with: note pad, make-up mirror, several plastic holders with notices, telephone, teakettle and cups on a tray, and TV. The chair in front of the desk was so hemmed in by the bed in back of it that I don't think one could have sat at the desk in any case (so why was the chair even there), but at least one would like some open space to put one's things on. The bed was marginal, with the tiniest pillow I have seen in a hotel room and no extra pillows. No night table next to the bed (because then you would have no room to get to the desk, I guess). Really an almost impossible room to live in.|That said, the staff were pleasant and helpful, and though I would never choose this hotel again, if I had had to stay longer (I moved to a different hotel after one night) I would...
