Sakura Hotel
Hatagaya is a no-frills budget hotel that has the look and atmosphere
of a youth hostel without the typical dorm-style rooms. The 74 guest
rooms are clean, and all have attached bathrooms and
amenities like air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and hairdryers and
toiletries in the bathrooms. The hotel is well-maintained and was
last renovated at the end of 2012, but the decor is functional and
bland. The on-site restaurant, Sakura Cafe, is open 24 hours and has
an international menu, with halal dishes also available. The vibe
here is young, and this hotel is popular with budget
travelers. For a more traditional option, travelers could check out Hotel Grand Arc Hanzomon for its Japanese-style rooms
with tatami mat floors, though rates can be higher.

Scene
Young vibe with a hostel-like atmosphere
Sakura
Hotel Hatagaya is a compact four-story building located on the corner
of a quiet street in the popular Tokyo neighborhood of Shibuya.
The colorful notices pasted on and behind the reception counter and
on the walls of the reception area, as well as the stands displaying
tourist brochures, give the impression of being in a youth hostel
rather than a hotel. A similar youthful vibe is evident in the
adjacent restaurant, with tables and chairs in bright primary colors.
The hotel caters to young budget travelers, many of whom are traveling solo, as couples, or with friends. There are also
several guest rooms catering to families. Muslim
guests are particularly welcome to stay here: There's a Muslim prayer
room and halal food served in the restaurant.

Rooms
Clean, functional rooms with mini-fridges, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi
Basic
but clean and functional best describes the 74 guest rooms at Sakura
Hotel Hatagaya. Space is at a premium in Tokyo, so rooms are
typically small, but they're well-equipped with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges,
tea- and coffee-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms
are compact: with toilets, sinks, and Japanese-style bathtubs (half
the size of conventional bathtubs) squeezed into a space where
barely two people could fit. Toiletries and hairdryers are provided,
as well as robes, towels, and slippers. Rooms are largely devoid of decor
and painted a bland cream color, with drab gray carpeting lining the
floor, and salmon-colored bedspreads covering the beds. Up to four
guests can be accommodated in the Twin Room (fitted with two double
beds), the Triple Room (two singles and one double bed), or the
Deluxe Double Room (one double bed and one sofa bed), which is convenient for families or friends traveling together. Note, the Wi-Fi connection can be
weak on higher floors.
