    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Nothing really

    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.)

    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.

    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.
