Tabist Hotel New Washington Shibuya

"Pros - location is great, 10 min walk to heart of Shibuya, while still being quiet with minimal noise. Close to multiple train stations and a bus right out the door.\nThe single room is quite spacious and the rooms are very clean, even though the hotel is old. The room also has a small wardrobe, which I appreciated and found this rare in Japan. The bed is soft and comfy. The staff are lovely and friendly.\nCons - The hotel is very basic and does not have any facilities like other hotels I stayed in Japan. The bathroom and shower are quite high to step into and would be difficult for short people or anyone with physical limitations. The air-conditioning does not work properly. If you are someone who prefers a cool room, this is not the place for you. I could not stay here in warm weather. There is a bad smell as soon as you walk into the foyer of the hotel. They also do not have scales to weight luggage, which is very inconvenient. As a result, I've had to buy extra weight for luggage in case.\nDepending on what is important to you, this could be a great option due to location alone. I have not stayed in Tokyo before, so I can't compare facilities to other similarly priced hotels."

"Great neighborhood, close to multiple train lines, a short walk to Shibuya proper, a bit more expensive than a hostel. Staff was great.\n\nHard to beat as long as you don't care much about the room.\n\nWalls are thin, amenities are older, but overall clean and acceptable condition.\n\nMy bathroom had a non-functioning ventilation fan and I felt I needed to leave the bathroom door wide open at all times to avoid mustiness after bathing."

"Very dated hotel, small rooms, old bathroom. location wise is ok, close to Shibuya."
