Staffers are equally out of touch, often forgetting special requests.
"Perched on a slope above Shibuya's chaos, the Cerulean Tower has a cavernous yet bustling lobby filled with plenty of attentive, English-speaking staffers." Full review
"Interiors mix Western and Japanese aesthetics. Simple, unfussy guest rooms have calming colors; some have unobstructed views of Mount Fuji in the distance." Full review
"This 40-storey tower comes into view as soon as you leave the station and is one of the landmarks of Shibuya."

"Enjoy the free tea and coffee here while taking in the compact design of this ultramodern ryokan."
"It bills itself as ‘Tokyo's first designer ryokan’, but you'd probably do better to think of Andon as a high-end backpacker hostel." Full review
Budget
