Excel Hotel Tokyu

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa


This hotel is part of Shibuya Station's 'Mark City' complex with direct access to Shibuya train station, a not negligible convenience factor. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and modern, though nothing special. Prices rise along with the floor numbers, but you can get a pretty good view with a simple upgrade for ¥2000 per night to a 'city view' room.
