Bottom Line

Sakura Fleur Aoyama is smack in the middle of Tokyo's trendy Shibuya district, which is known for its vibrant urban landscape of billboards, neon signs, boutiques, and night spots. A few minutes' walk to busy Shibuya station, this mid-range hotel has 133 relatively spacious rooms with compact Japanese-style bathrooms. Interiors are a bit quirky, decorated in tones of soft pinks and grays with some baroque details. In-room amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. An adjacent cafe and bar serves light meals but no breakfast. Be aware that guests undergo stringent ID checks. Travelers might want to compare rates with nearby Hotel Unizo Shibuya, which has lighter, airier decor.

Oyster Hotel Review

Sakura Fleur Aoyama

Scene

Hotel with romantic “Parisian-style” themed decor

Set in an attractive red-brick building with 10 floors, Sakura Fleur Aoyama's pink-toned interiors might not suit all tastes. Described as “Parisian-style," design accents include black wrought-iron furniture and a color palette of lilac, soft grays and pinks, and black. A beautiful hardwood floor distinguishes the lobby, with seating that includes a black leather chesterfield and matching black-and-red velour armchairs. A round cafe-style marbletop table, a black wrought-iron coat rack, shelving, and pink-and-gray velvet curtains complement the look. The hotel caters to the young crowd that gravitates to Shibuya, and guests are mostly couples or groups of friends traveling together. Many past guests chafe at the hotel's stringent identity checks every time they return to the hotel and request their room keys, and the property's no-guests policy.

Rooms

Spacious rooms with dark, pink-and-gray-toned decor

The 133 rooms at Sakura Fleur Aoyama are relatively spacious by Japanese standards, but bathrooms are small. Rooms have a soft pink and gray color palette, with flowery detailing. Several pieces of wrought-iron furniture (beds, coat stands, chairs) give the rooms a romantic feel, but details like the rose-patterned desk lamps and coffee mugs, and pink alarm clocks might be too over the top for some. Bland brown-and-black patterned carpeting covers the floors, and matching brown bedspreads can make the room feel dark. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, free Wi-Fi and mineral water, which is replenished daily. Bathrooms are small with Japanese-style fittings: electronic toilets, plastic countertops, and small bathtubs with showerheads. Toiletries are provided, and the toilet paper is pink. Guests complain about the smell of cigarette smoke in nonsmoking rooms and poor soundproofing, which means noise travels between rooms.
