We visited the Shiba Park Hotel at the beginning of March for two nights as part or a tour group. This was our very first hotel in Japan and we were very impressed. We arrived in the rain and were met at the front door, our suitcase was wiped down and check in was very quick. We were allowed into our room which we were not expecting as we'd been advised in Japan they are quite strict on check in times. We had a room in the annex, we and our suitcase were whisked straight across the room and we were in our room about 5 minutes after arriving at the property.
I am surprised at people saying rooms in the annex are small. They are not (certainly the one we were in was not). Okay, one side of the bed is against the wall, but there is room for table and chairs, a vanity table, tv, and tea making facilities in the main room. There is also a wardrobe and a small area being the door you can sore your suitcase. The window looked on to another building but this is Tokyo, space is at a premium! We were too busy out and about enjoying ourselves rather than spending time in the hotel! The bathroom was fine, shower over bath and toilet. We enjoyed checking out all the little amenity packs available!
We had breakfast included, what an experience!...We visited the Shiba Park Hotel at the beginning of March for two nights as part or a tour group.

We had breakfast included, what an experience! There is a mix of Western and Japanese items, if you don't want to try Japanese (you should - you're in Japan!) there are plenty of fruit juices, cereal, bakery items and cooked items.
Every single member of staff we encountered at Shiba Park was friendly, polite and very helpful.
Thank you to you all for looking after us.More
