"Our stay here was excellent ! The owners are very helpful and even give you directions on the nearest train stations and tourist attractions! The room itself is spacious and well kept. I liked that I had a view of the Tokyo sky tree! I would definitely stay here again"

"The first thing you should know is that this is not a hotel. It's an apartment with two flats, one on the second floor and one on the third floor, above a storefront about half way between the Ueno and Asakusa stations. That said, it's not bad as a rental apartment, and was a good fill-in for us when our Air BnB booking was cancelled on short notice. All of the communication with the owner was via the Expedia site - we never met anyone in person, but got check-in instructions via messages...

"Our host Yoshi and the staff at Toe Library were incredibly welcoming, offering us tips around the neighborhood and, when we left, a bag of delicious Japanese cookies. The room itself was cozy, well-appointed, and full of personality—and we especially appreciated that because we happened to be there during a typhoon and spent a lot of time lounging there as we waited for the worst of the storm to pass. This is a completely unique stay and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo."

"Situé pas trop loin de la station de métro Ningyocho (500m), nous avons été accueilli, ma femme et moi, superbement bien. Les personnes qui nous ont prit étaient extrêmement gentils et plus que serviables (vraiment adorables), sans compté que les dames qui nous ont reçu parlait extrêmement bien Anglais. Nous avons même entendu une personne jouer du Shamisen avec quelques chants.
Nous étions arrivés bien plus en avance que prévu (12h au lieu de 15h, heure de prise de la chambre), et pourtant,...

"Nice neiborhood in a well preserved japanese área. It is nice to see how regular native people lives. Hanare is very basic, small rooms with tatami. No enough room for the luggage and only 2 hangers in the room and one very narrow Mirror. It would be nice to have at least a shelf and a bigger mirror ( wider). The room had a smelt, the cleaning was no very good. Only one shower for 4 rooms (8 people) so you have to book the day before specially on hot days. They have the no shoes policy at the...

"An outstanding experience in every sense. The quality is consistently high, and the service is both professional and genuinely welcoming, with clear attention to detail throughout. The place maintains a remarkable standard on every visit, reflecting a highly skilled and customer-focused team. Definitely a place worth returning to—highly recommended."

"I still like the place and it is still my go to. But the prices went up… and the rooms remained the same. I also didn’t get the same room as usual and I had no view of the tower. First time I get a room without the view and that changes everything."
"The Shinjuku Granbell Hotel was lovely. We booked an economy twin and we're a little apprehensive, but the 183 square feet fit 2 people with backpacks quite comfortably. The breakfast buffet (they call it continental, but only because they do not make food to order) was a really nice spread of Western and Asian foods, and having it on the 12th floor presented a nice view of Shinjuku. Also, nice to have a microwave to warm foods from the nearby grocery (it was a long trip). If we were planning to stay in Shinjuku, we would stay again."
"Excellent hotel and service.
I had a 3 week stay. It was always a pleasure to comeback to the hotel after a long day.
My room was cosy, modern and clean. Every couple of days, staff would replace bedsheets and supply fresh towels. It was well air conditioned, which was easy to use. Remote panels for it and light control, placed on the headboard of the bed. The bed mattress was kind of on the firmer side but I was comfortable and never struggled to sleep.
Wi-fi connection speed was fast and never dropped connection.
Staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. I used the laundry service and was very impressed with how my clothes were returned to me. Packaged, clean and ironed. Would recommend if you are in for a long stay and travelling light. The day I was to leave, my check out was 11:00, my flight 12hrs later. They securely stored my luggage (free of charge) all day. Staff will also arrange a taxi for you, which arrived within minutes.
Ideally located. You are a couple minutes walk from the train station.
The street the hotel is located on is busy with plenty surrounding the area (restaurants, cafe's, convivence stores). But it is still quieter than the hive of activity that is also only a couple minutes walk away. Home comforts? look for the "HUB" pubs. You'll understand when you arrive.
Hotel - Smoking area on 2F.
The only thing I would change; I would of liked the hotel bar to be open later than what it was.
Overall, I loved it. Highly recommended."
"The hotel location is great specially if you love night life. Sorrounded by bars and resto, local shopping stores and malls and near to the train station."
