Tabist ホテルニューワシントン 渋谷 — Hotel in Tokyo

This is a no-frill "business hotel" not far away from Shibuya. Honestly, the location is great: the bus stop is just 50m away, and the bus takes you in 5 minutes to Shibuya and in 10 to Harajuku. A nice park is in walking distance and, most importantly, the narrow streets just behind the hotel are a hive of hidden gems in terms of cozy restaurants and shops. Far away from the maddening crowds of Shibuya itself, you can experience local life in walking distance. The price of the hotel is lower than the average in the area (but still expensive, mainly because of vicinity to Shibuya) and the rooms are larger than average (that is, for Tokyo standards). Interesting fact: one of the reasons why the hotel is cheap is that it is known among the locals as "suicide hotel", because apparently many salarymen committed suicide there in the last years, so superstitious people don't like it. This was confirmed by local Japanese people I befriended in one of the nearby izakayas. Other than that, the structure is modern, and for me noise was not an issue. I asked in advance for a quiet room at a higher floor and they were so kind to accommodate my wish in a very satisfactory way. The only complaint is maybe the limited arrangement of power sockets in the room. Breakfast is not provided, but a convenience store is just next to the entrance...

The hotel room has japan old style bed mattresses and the space is larger than usual double size, which is suitable for family travel. The heater is also old style that you have to adjust the temperature limit manually but unfortunately it was locked, so that It is a little bit cold at night time. Another thing might be bothering you is no coin laundry service in the hotel and it takes 10 min to walk to the nearest 24 hour open coin laundry. The location is between Yoyogi park and Shibuya station and the price per night is also cheaper than...
