This is my third stay with this hotel and I fully enjoyed my stay this time as well. Hotel is located only 5 minutes walk from Shinagawa station where you can catch shinkansen train to access other sightseeing spots around Japan. Hotel room is super clean and all hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful. I definitely stay in this hotel again.

Really great property. They were so welcoming and hospitable. I really appreciated them holding all of our luggage while we traveled around Tokyo for a day and then had it ready to go at 5pm which I had mentioned briefly. Their attention to detail was wonderful. The room itself was also great. They had the bed ready and all of our luggage from an earlier stay already in the room for us. Will definitely come back. The hotel is also very close and walkable to the station, very convenient for subway access.

The location is great for the nearby station which you can reach simply through the skyway, no stairs or going down to the street. Really beautiful inside and great views of the city. Room was sizeable, clean, and nice bathroom and shower. Breakfast was great with lots of options and good quality. Very hospitable staff and really appreciated them storing my luggage for an extra night between stays while we visited Fuji. Will definitely come back here.

Excellent bed old carpet quite dated
Great bed and view but old carpet. Very expensive in comparison to other rooms we stayed in Tokyo. Good location. Staff would not consider a discount in spite of second night due to it being ‘busy’ as weekends have weddings.

Wonderful, wonderful hotel.
I have stayed at the strings on a number of occasions. This time, it was a week of business filed by a week of pleasure with family members. The staff could not be any better as they are just wonderful. The whole vibe of the hotel is serene. The breakfast offers many choices, both western and Asian foods. The only negative comment I have to make about the hotel is that it’s carpeting in the hallways and guestrooms needs updating.

The Strings Shinigawa is an excellent Tokyo Hotel
The Strings Shinigawa has easy/covered walking access on one level to the train station and is close to many restaurants. The hotel and the rooms are excellent; the breakfast buffet is one of the best I have had. Just a great Tokyo hotel to stay in.

This appears to be a older design hotel with rooms facing a large central atrium. Everything about the hotel was very nice except for some minor confusion when we arrived to check in. The confusion arose because you have to go up to the 26th floor to check into the hotel. This fact did not bother me but when you enter the lobby there isn't any sign of a hotel employee to direct you to the 26th floor and this includes porters to help with luggage. Once we got to the 26th floor evereything was very nice but getting there was a bit confusing and unwelcoming. When I mentioned this to the staff at reception they noted that there is a phone on a desk when you enter on the ground floor which can be used to call for assistance. However since the phone is unmarked we had no idea that option was available to us. I think if the hotel would fix this issue with clearer signage in the ground floor lobby it would be much more welcoming to guests. Other than that everything was great. Exceptionally good restuarants as well. Our room was on the 30th floor with sweeping views and we loved looking at the cityscape and lights!

What is so unique about this property is the fact that it is very clean and upscale. What I don’t like about the property is the front desk staff. They seem always overworked and stressed. This percolates to the guests when they are greeted. The front desk seem rude although they may not be but they are always overworked and rushed. They speak English but you can’t understand them because of their accent.
