Review Narrative:
I got their Superior Double room and was put on the 19th floor. At 240 sq ft, the room is nice size for the middle of Shibuya, right across from the Hachiko statue, so definitely convenient.
Walking into the lobby, you get the feel of a higher class hotel, maybe a 4 star but not a 5 star, and the front desk staff was excellent. The room was very clean, decor/furnishings are nice but I'd say more in line with a good 3 star hotel.
There are 4 elevators that go to the rooms. Two of them are glass, and one faces the Shibuya Crossing, so you can get a nice view of Shibuya. It does require a key card, however bringing up a date to your room is not an issue. Just meet her on the lobby floor (5th) by the elevators, as the front desk is located off to the side, without a good view. It's also a larger hotel, so there's usually other guests going in and out.
I booked a room for 1 person, but 2 sets of towels were included. This was my second time staying there and it was the same both times. I did bring my beautiful escort there, and she was impressed with the room, as I was lucky enough to get a room with a view of the Shibuya Crossing.
I would definitely stay here again, if I need to be in Shibuya. However, the next time I'm with my lovely escort I'll pay additional to go to a love hotel, as I just love being in a large hot tub with her.
Final Rating:
