MUSTARD HOTEL SHIMOKITAZAWA

I enjoyed my stay at Mustard Hotel. The style and atmosphere of the place was great. The staff were very helpful. The small cafe, bar and deck were very pleasant. It is a five minute walk to Shimokitizawa following the path of the railway line which has now been run underground. The hotel wasn't more than a few minutes walk to the new shopping area, restaurants and Tsutaya Books. The Troubled Peach, Mother and Heaven's Above are all nearby. A big arigatou gozaimasu to the guy running the cafe who found my dropped passport. Subarashi deshta. Shimokitazawa is getting trendier everyday but still keeps its originality. I think it was better twenty years ago but I would. It is a great place if you haven't been before. Be a polite visitor.

Excellent coffee! Liked the minimalist style.

It's my second time staying here and I still feel great about this hotel. The amenities are reasonable and the design of the hotel is also quite well done, as expected for newer hotels in Tokyo. The best part of this hotel is its location, I'd book this again in a heartbeat just because it's located in/near Shimokitazawa. It's a part of the new development on the old Odakyu train tracks, so there are a bunch of new trendy shops and cafes in the immediate area. Within a 10 minutes walk towards Daita there is also a group of shops and restaurants forming the development "Bonus Track". Definitely go there to have a look. You can easily spend 1-2 days in Shimokitazawa alone with so many amazing shops and restaurants in the area. It is also very easy for you to get to Yoyogi-Uehra for Yoyogi Park and cafes in Kamiyama-cho. The same metro line can bring you to Harajuku, Shibuya and Kichijoji as well. I'd recommend this hotel for younger solo travellers or young couples who are keen to mingle with other people. Sidewalk coffee roasters is located in the lobby and they have amazing coffee. There's a outdoor seating area for guests to hang around and there is also a bar on site.

We loved staying in Mustard Hotel. The location was great - near the subway to get into central Tokyo easily. There were lots of vintage clothes shops in Shimokitazawa and plenty of restaurant options at night. Staff in the hotel were super helpful and spoke great English. Although the hotel is located in a busy suburb of Tokyo, noise was not a problem and we were not disturbed at night. The cafe was a good option for a quick breakfast before heading out. I would definitely stay here again, everyone was so friendly.

We loved the location. We wanted to be close to Shibuya and the more lively districts in Japan but also wanted peace and quiet in the evenings so this hotel was perfect for that. The room was perfect for what we needed. It was super clean and the bed was comfortable. The coffee shop downstairs was also such a lovely treat to have access to. Highly recommend this hotel as a base to explore Japan.
