great hotel in tokyo at a great price

was a little difficult to find from the station when we arrived at night, but didnt take too long

highlight here was the helpful and friendly staff, which was great since it was our first place we stayed in Japan. Spoke english very well too.

Rooms were small, as i expected, but who cares when your out sightseeing all day and night anyway!

I found this place through the reviews on trip advisor and was VERY pleased when I arrived. Its 2 stops from Shibuya, but outside from all the crazyness of the city, so you can have some peace of mind when you sleep. The places is great for sleeping, not to lounge in the hotel because the rooms are small, but your in tokyo to enjoy it not to stay in your room!

The staff speaks good english and are very helpful to make RVSPs for you if you need it. The lobby cafe has free WIFI, and foreign beers!

And again ITS A GREAT LOCATION, CHEAP and close to everything ^o^!

We stayed at the Sakura Hotel Hatagaya for 4 nights when we arrived to Tokyo. The hotel is conveniently located, 2 minutes away from the Hatagaya subway station which is 2 stops away from Shinjuku and the main subway lines.
The hotel itself is very basic but clean. The rooms are tiny and difficult to live in when you're two, but still it does the job. Choose the Sakura Hatagaya as a basis to explore Tokyo, leave in the morning and come back to sleep.

Well located close from the Hatagaya subway station, the rooms are quite cheap (for Tokyo) but very tiny: there is no other space available for the luggage than the small corridor between the bathroom and the bed (so that you have to climb over to reach one or the other). This hotel is ok if you are on a budget and are not too claustrophobic, but I am pretty sure that something better can be found for the same price.
