APA Hotel Shibuya-Dogenzaka-Ue

Great location near Shibuya and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean but very small, even for Japan. As another reviewer mentioned, the pillows are also oddly thin.

Great hotel, we have used the APA’s before and they are always clean and lovely staff. The rooms are very small. Perfectly acceptable for the type of hotel room we needed, just a base to explore Tokyo, but does get cramped with two people and luggage!

Hotel and room were prefectly fine, clean and comfortable. More space than other APA's I've stayed in but still pretty small. Good base to go and explore Shibuya. Could do with some more plug sockets, particularly beside the bed.

Pros: It was so nice and clean. The hotel itself is in the quiet side of Shibuya, no strip clubs nearby. The bathroom is big by Tokyo standards. Actually has a bathtub and a bidet. Lots of amenities, toothbrush toothpaste shower cap shampoo body wash conditioner. Has a hot water maker, fridge, tv that you can screen cast to. Washing machine and microwave are available on the communal areas on the other floors. Staff speaks excellent English. Allowed me to store my luggage while I waited for my check in time. I felt very safe and the building is secure. I liked how the switch for the lights was right above the bed so you could turn the lights off while laying in bed. Has a Lawson's convenience store right next door. Cons: The room itself was extremely small, I didn't even have room to open my suitcase fully. The hotel is also quite far from Shibuya Station. Pros 1000 percent outweigh the cons! Great place to stay.

It was great! I have enjoyed staying in APA hotels.

Great

It's understandable that there is no air conditioner in the later fall/early winter time. However, it was unacceptable since the room smelled like smoke. Although I asked for non-smoking. Upon entering the room, it was a musty, smokey smell that was uncomfortable. When I asked if there was central air or an air conditioner, I was given an awkward look and told to just open my window. So, as cold as it was that night, I had to keep the window open in order to breath air that was not smokey/musty. Overall, a very unpleasant stay since the environment was not in the condition as requested. The two nights prior I also stayed at an APA Hotel in Kyoto and they had an air conditioner unit where I could make it cooler, warmer, etc. Therefore, super disappointed in the condition of the room I stayed in. I will unfortunately not be staying there anymore for future visits.

The photos the hotel provides are misleading: my room was very cramped, contrary to what the photos suggested. The window looked directly into another building and its windows, adding to the cramped feel. And at the front desk the owners display a rightwing Japanese nationalist book - imagine going to a hotel in Germany and being greeted with a book blaming Jews for "information warfare" and giving Germany a bad name!

Situated near shopping, restaurants and train station. The room though was tiny but if you’re only going to sleep there, it’s doable.

The stay was very dope and everything was dope. Ty yung blud.
