Shiba hotels

On Sunday morning the 6th April 2014 at 04.30, a fire alarm went off at the Celestine Hotel and all the occupants had to vacate their rooms and go outside until the fire had been put out. We waited for an hour until we were allowed back to our rooms. The small fire had been in an adjoining café but, after waiting for an hour, we found it very difficult getting back to sleep. The next morning we were given a free breakfast and told that we had a free room that night. Unfortunately, we had already paid for our room before departure but Reception at the Hotel told us to contact Expedia and they would recompense us for our lost night. Please comment

I stayed at another APA hotel in Tokyo back in January and fell in love with the super comfortable bed and great amenities in the bathroom. When I needed a hotel for one night after coming in from an international flight, I did not hesitate to book another APA hotel solely for the fact that I knew I would get a fantastic night's sleep. This hotel is also very accessible by subway. The room with the double bed we had was small, but the bed had plenty of space for two people.

Honestly, my first time to Japan and also by myself on a business trip, I did not know what to expect. I was truly impressed with this hotel OVERALL. Location is convenient, close to train station....hotel staff extremely helpful and very very kind....rooms are clean and super comfortable.... Internet speed is powerful and convenient... Cleanliness was on point. (One thing....my room smelled like smoke on my last day, not sure if someone was smoking outside in the halls or it was coming thru the vents...but, i couldnt say anything, because i was on a smoking floor....) no biggie... I am going back December and I will stay at the Gracery again!!

The hotel is in a very quiet neighbourhood which we liked a lot. Walking distance to the JR line( Tamachi Station) for about 5 mins. Staff are so nice and their English are so well, there is no problem with our communication. The hotel style is a little bit old but it doesn't bother us at all. Room is very clean. The room is in a reasonable size, or I would say it is not small at all. We were worried about the size of the bed before but it is big enough for a couple. Another bonus is that the hotel is very close to the airport, it is about $50 to take the taxi. Everything is there for us. Very very good experience:)

This hotel is a few blocks from the JR train station. It's right in between east and west paths of Tokyo in the JR line. And no more than a 5 min walk. There are some restaurants around this area and a 100 yen shop right across the street. Also right down the block is a Lawson so it's convenient. There are 2 Lawsons, one of which sells cigarettes. The room is small but I think most of the hotels in Tokyo are small. I didn't mind that it was small. It reminded me of a dorm room. It's also close to the rainbow bridge. Didn't get a chance to check it out, but it is walking distance from the hotel. The staff are super friendly and they speak minimal English. They will go out of their way to try and understand and help you. The room has an electrical refrigerator which only keeps the beverages at its current temperature. It's doesn't function like a refrigerator.

I stayed one night at this hotel. It was a bit of a walk from the station, but it wasn't bad at all. There is a great pizza place on the way to the hotel where you can get Chicago style pizza and craft beers. As a foreign resident of Japan, that was a great.

We were so pleased to get to the hotel after our long flight. We walked from the Hamamatsucho station which was tricky but we had a wonderful person walk us there personally. If you don't have GPS then I might suggest a cab from the station so you dont have to carry luggage up/down lots of steps. We requested street front rooms and noise was not a factor. We have cruised before and the room was compact but efficient and very clean. Plus they had free good coffee in the lobby. The WiFi worked great in the lobby and we had bought a device that plugs into a LAN connector and gave us WiFi in the rooms. Please note that the power in the room only works when the key is in the slot. I appreciate the energy conservation, but others may not.

Lovely hotel. Excellent staff. Very clean. The view from the room was excellent. We had a view of the bay and Tokyo Skytree. They have lots of events at this hotel. Mainly weddings. So it does get busy at times. The restaurants are very high-end. We were on a food budget, so we didn't get to go to any.

When I arrived in Tokyo late at night, I had hard time to find the hotel. I walked from the train station with a map but passed the hotel without noticing it. The sign was a bit small to easily find at night. Everything was good after that. The staff was very kind and helpful.

The hotel was lovely. The interior was posh and well kept. Staff were very helpful and tried their best with our requests in English. The hotel is right next to the Yurikamome Line (Takeshiba station), which is a privately owned railway (?), however it is a little bit more pricey than the JR or Tokyo Metro lines. Hamamatsucho station is about a 15 minute walk (or 10 minute walk/run) away and connects on the Yamanote Line which can get you pretty much anywhere.
