The hotel's location is superb! This is my third time staying here, and this time I was on the 24th floor. The room was spacious enough for four large suitcases and two carry-ons. The hotel's buffet breakfast on the 25th floor offers a wide variety of options. I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit.

Wonderful hotel that goes above and beyond for families traveling with children. From the child amenity kits and pajamas for our toddler to the crib and diaper pail for our infant we felt that every need was met which made for a really comfortable trip. The 7eleven in the hotel was the icing on the cake! We also were able to utilize the Poppins onsite daycare although this is run independently and you should book well in advance of your trip as only 1 day that we requested was available for booking. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

This is my second stay, I know the room is going to be small, lke most Tokyo hotel in very convenient location, but it's a perfect choice for solo traveller. Super convenient, you can be on JR Line within less than 5 minis from your door, would book again for sure!

Hyatt House Tokyo Shibuya

We had a very bad experience when checking in.  The Japanese lady staff was arrogant and had very rude attitude.  This is very rare in Hyatt properties.  Other staff were okay but don't expect too much.  The room is generally clean except with hair left over in shower from previous hotel occupants.  At night, we were woken up 2-3 times with some cracking nose.  Not sure if it was wood or metal bending repeatedly.  If you are deep sleeper, then it's ok.  Otherwise please think about it.  I was attracted by the location and Hyatt brand.  But price can tell you there is no free lunch.

Fantastic location just a cross road away from Shibuya Station , and a hop and skip away from Hachiko statue and Shibuya crossing.We got in via Narita Express and dragged our luggage across the street to the hotel which was easy to find once you spot Bic Camera and McDonalds. Room was tiny but still very comfy and does the job if you wanted to be very close to the train station. Very quiet too so we slept very well. Plenty of amenities including laundry machine and dryers. Great spot for shopping and eating. Highly recommended if you don't mind small rooms.
