This was the best hotel we stayed in Japan! It was so close to several train stations that it made traveling to nearby neighborhood VERY easily. We were even able to easily travel to Tokyo Station with our luggage to make it to the shinkansen. Also, their breakfast was AMAZING! They had sashimi and ikura to make chirashi bowls, along with other Japanese breakfast items. My mom especially loved their miso soup. The rooms were also very clean! The room was slightly small but so are other hotels in japan so it was not a big deal.

The toilet sometimes smelled of sewage, which was bothersome since the shower, toilet, and sink were in the same room. However, the positives outweigh the negatives. I would 100% recommend staying at Vessel Inn, and I will return on my next trip to Japan.

Location was perfect, just a few stations away from Shibuya and Shinjuku from JR line Takanadobaba station. The hotel was cozy despite the cold weather during our stay. Room was comfortable and bed was clean, couldnt have asked for more.

Only the water dispenser's location that was only available at level 5 which meant taking the lift everytime just to refill your bottles. It would have been ideal if every storey has a water dispenser to truly encourage guests from purchasing their own water which I did to save myself from the hassle.

The hotel has a great location. Good accessible by public transit and right across a 7/11. The rooms are cleaned upon request, which in our case we liked a lot since you have more control about your stay. Amenities are in the lobby for you to grab whenever you need them and if you need them. This reduces waste. All in all, it was a great experience.

Even though probably traditional Japanese, the breakfast didn't appeal to us. We would have loved to have breakfast in the hotel, but we decided to go out for breakfast instead. When outside, however, it seems the breakfast culture is completely different. Of course, this is completely fine. We were not expecting a continental breakfast of any sort. We did not ask or address this up front, so maybe there are options available. The rooms are rather small, but I guess this depends on how deep your pockets are. Since space is scarce in Japan and an upgrade was not available anymore, we just made the best of it.

Friendly staff, amazing location (direct access to train/subway). The room was cleaned daily, there was a washing machine which was great because I packed light

Room was tiny but I guess that's normal for Tokyo

Breakfast and dinner was amazing. Service was friendly and amenities were provided in the lobby. The room was cozy despite being small, which is not uncommon in Japan.

A bigger room would've made a difference. We realize hotels in Japan tend to be on the smaller side. Our second hotel was larger though. No dislikes, just an observation.

Despite the small size of the room, everything is well organized & it feels like the room is actually bigger. Everything was new & it was really nice to be able to cast our smartphone on the TV 👌. Breakfast is also quite good.

It was super convenient, just outside Takadanobaba station. Very clean, great breakfast, well designed room although very small. Good staff. Well managed and designed. It's not a room for hanging out in since it's so small although it has a small desk for one person. They also offer part of the breakfast room downstairs to hang out in.

The room I had would be too small for two people, but fine for one person.

+ Friendly, helpful staff who spoke English. + Clean rooms. + Great if you are a private person and don't like staff entering your room. They ask at check-in if you want your room cleaned every day. But they will still give you towels outside your door every day, and you can place your bin outside for cleaning also. + Good location. You can get to the subway via the hotel elevator or go across the road to the JR line. + Good amenities. Access to free water, ice machine as well as laundry and vending machines on the floor on the hotel room.

- The rooms are small, but the layout is good, so you don't feel confined.

The property was perfectly located so that we could get on and off the train so easily with my mom who needed a little assistance. I loved how there was a 7-11 and lots of food options nearby. The pajamas were also so comfortable and we all loved them, especially our kids! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind to us.

The rooms were clean, spacious compared to Japan standards and well equipped with kettle, microwave and fridge. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating of our special requests as we had a child. The location is very convenient in terms of public transport, shopping and food. Breakfast buffet had many options also for vegetarians (rice porridge, soup, bread, fruits etc.)
