This is a Japanese "business hotel" so I didn't have high expectations for my stay at Granbell. I checked in really late at night, close to midnight and the process was a breeze. I actually arrived in Tokyo a few days before checking-in, and I left my huge suitcase with them. When I was checking-in, the front desk mentioned that... More

The Shibuya Granbell hotel is a pretentious “boutique” hotel which is well past its design sell by date. We should have realised this from the lobby which, when we found it, was scruffy, with grubby, grey, sagging sofas and a wooden floor which looked as if it had never been washed or polished. Whilst the location was great, it was... More

This hotel is less than 5 min by walk of Shibuya Station in a very quiet street. It means you have direct access to Narita airport via the NEX and an easy access to the subway network. Very usefull in that city. No need to speak about Shibuya by itself. A must This is a boutique hotel. Its design is... More

this is a nice hotel, well located in the Shibuya area in Tokyo. Small, but reasonably priced. The single rooms are really tiny! So better ask for a double room. But the rooms are clean and the bathroom is very comfortable. When we arrived at the hotel around 13H30, rooms were not ready and many other guests were waiting for... More

Finding a hotel in Tokyo is not always so easy. The city is huge and accomodation doesn't always come cheap. After scanning dozens of options, my wife and I decided to stay at Granbell Hotel Shibuya for a week in April 2013. And we were very happy with our choice. The location is excellent. Its very close to the Shibuya... More

The boutique concept is appealing, in principle: rainshower head, designer room, fabulous bed. The room (superior double) wasn't even a bad size for Tokyo. Unfortunately, it feels as though the person who designed the concept isn't the same person who's maintaining the place: the room needs painting, the elevators and hallways need a good vaccuum and some Windex. And avoid... More

The Shibuya Granbell Hotel is the perfect place to stay in Tokyo. I love the Shibuya neighbourhood and this was in a quiet corner that is easy to get to, but not totally in the middle of all the crazy. What I loved about this hotel is the rooms are fairly small, but absolutely perfectly formed. The bed is super... More

I have been to Tokyo many times and usually stay around the Shinjuku area. This time, I wanted to be even closer to the action and decided on Shibuya Granbell Hotel. I was just expecting a place to keep my bags (and shopping!) and for somewhere to sleep. But this hotel turned out to me so much more - it... More

We stayed here at the end of March and loved the hotel, it has a very modern Japanese feel. Great bathroom with all mod cons. Its in a great location, walk to Shibuya station and JR station, shopping and we even walked to Meiji Shrine and Harajuku. The staff were very helpful in explaining the subway maps and neighbourhoods to... More
