Hotel DIAMOND

Superb location 5 minutes walk from Shibuya crossing. Very clean and not too small room for Japanese standards. Staff at the reception is helpful and friendly though they can't speak a word of English. I used Google translate and was perfect.

Location was amazing, only a short walk to Shibuya station. Hotel and room were exceptionally clean and we were offered house keeping every day of our 3 night stay. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and very patient with our lack of Japanese language. They helped us book a taxi to collect us for a day trip early one morning. Free drinks and free ice cream available in the lobby every day. Very quiet rooms despite the central location - we couldn't hear a thing from our rooms. Plenty of toiletries provided in the bathroom, along with hairdryer and curling tongs.

This was and is advertised as a budget economy hotel. What you need to understand that in Japan all this means is value for money. The level of cleanliness in Japan is far, far more thorough than what you'll be used to from western countries. The staff are incredibly helpful and polite. There are also free supplies and drinks available 24 hours. i.e. Free drinks, face masks, bath bombs, herbal teabags, bath salts. You're also slap bang in the centre of Shubuya, one of the wildest, busiest parts of the city, but just off the main street.

Staying in a frenetic place like Shibuya requires a quiet and clean retreat. This place provided both! In addition, all staff members,more importantly front desk officers, were extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. The amenities include free flowing champagne, soda water, ice cream, wine liquor, coffee, ice cubes, chocolate, and bathroom/ health and well being essentials...all included in the hotel fee! Guests may take any of these anytime when they feel like it. It's location is just right smack in the middle of all in Shibuya. So you are never far from a nearby conbini, ramen or yakitori or wagyu/ kobe place and dry goods store. Its near the Shibuya station we can actually pat the head of Hachīko every night before going to bed. I would definitely recommend this as your home whilst staying in Shibuya. In fact, I will be back next month for another sojourn in Tokyo and will make Hotel Diamond my home away from home.

If you want to establish a base in the heart of Tokyo, Shibuya could be one of them. And what better place to stay other than one of the multitude of establishments in Dogenzaka. It's literally near everything, including the train station. With lots of local dining places, having been a regular here ( thrice), I now have nearby yakiniku and sushi bar as favourites! I'd recommend this place for short stays in Tokyo when you want to have easy access to transportation and of course...the local shopping experience. Moreover, the staff ate extremely helpful.
