Tokyu Stay Aoyama Premier

We looooved how spacious it was in the premium twin room. Beds and views were so comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a long day. We also had a lot of space for opening and packing our luggage. We also saved a lot of time on washing our clothes once we get back home considering how we had a washing machine all to ourselves in the room. There was a bottle of detergent free to use in the room, too! The area was lovely, too. A few steps away from a great cafe and very accessible to Omotesando and Harajuku if you're after shopping in these areas.

Very close to Gaiemmae station G03. Ginza line is 2 stops from Shibuya G03. Very convenient. Clean. Helpful efficient staff. Change towels and bins daily at your request (put blue magnet request on front door as you leave in morning). Drinks machine at lobby. They can keep your luggage on your last day. Free coffee and teabags/toothbrushes/shavers/earbuds/cottonwool/hairbands at lobby area. Loved washing machine tumble drier in the room. You can load your dirty washing as you leave and return to it dry. Note: do not put sheets in as it won’t dry them, gets too hot. Do not overload the machine. Request them to change sheets if you need. It’s an extra cost if more than once a week. Family mart 2 mins away for water and snacks.

The location is wonderful, just a 4 minute walk to the subway (Gaienmaie) and just around the corner from the bus to Harajuku. Convenience store, grocery store, pharmacy, and Starbucks just around the corner. Great views from the room. Good wifi. Helpful to have a laundry machine in room. Easy check in and check out.

We stayed in a comfort room and by Japanese standards it was spacious. We were able to fit (closed) 2 checked-in luggage and two carry-ons. The location was very good as the omote sando neighborhood is really nice and local (especially the small streets). It's also 2 stops away from Shibuya and on the Ginza line for Ginza/Ueno/Asakusa. The staff was helpful and was in good communication. Also a nice view at least from our room.

So, it is a mid-range/mid-star hotel that has typically smallish rooms for Japan, but packed with features. Clothes washer/dryer, mini fridge, stove, easy check in/out, free (pretty decent) coffee. However, the best of this hotel is location (super close to Gaiemmae Station and an easy walk to Harajuku or Aoyama) and the view. I had Mt Fuji glimpses on a sunny day from my room, and an unobstructed view for vast stretches of Tokyo. A great way to start your day!
