23 Shimokitazawa Avenue, Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, Japan5.4 km from centreShow on map
A converted townhouse in Shimokitazawa with a bar that locals use, which is usually the sign of a good one. Two things people book it for: evening aperitivo for guests and record players in every room. There is a reason the same guests turn up every spring.

Tired and overpriced
Fine, with caveats. We slept well: the room is dark, cool and quiet after ten. Lovely for a couple of nights away, quiet and personal.
No full-length mirror anywhere in the Suite.

Would stay again at that price
Straight to it: the location is the thing. Check-in was straightforward and the desk answered questions properly. Efficient and predictable, which is what a two-night work trip needs.
The bathroom fan runs for ten minutes after you leave and is loud.

Would think twice
Location is the strong point - ten minutes to Shibuya Crossing and a metro stop close by. The rate held steady when we added a night, which we appreciated. There is a coffee machine in the room, which saved us a few euros a day.
Wifi does not reach the terrace, which is where you actually want to sit. You hear the door of the room next to you every time it shuts.

Good bones, tired edges
Clean bathroom, fresh towels daily, nothing to complain about. Three rooms on the same floor, which saved a lot of shouting up stairwells.
One radiator for the whole room, and in November that is not quite enough.

Comfortable and well placed
Spot on for a first visit - you can walk out of the door and start.
The keycards demagnetised twice and we had to go back down to the desk.

Solid choice, would return
For what we paid in November, this was the best value stay of the trip by a distance. Firm mattress, which suits us, and a duvet that is not the usual thin thing. Fifteen rooms, one very good coffee machine and a courtyard nobody talks in above a murmur.
We had to be out by half past ten on the last day, and that is genuinely the worst of it.
