The Shibuya Excel Tokyu is an upper-middle-range hotel with a prime spot right next to one of the world's most iconic sights: Shibuya Crossing. Expect clean, compact, and relatively modern rooms, many with astounding views of neon-lit Shibuya. Black-out curtains, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and a decent amount of storage space come standard in all units. Features are limited to three on-site restaurants and bars, including French and Japanese options with astounding views on the top floor. Both serve breakfast, and the buffet at the French restaurant is extensive. The lively bar at the lobby level draws a mix of tourists and local businesspeople. Rates are decent for prime Tokyo real estate, but if you'd prefer something with just a little more style it's worth considering the Shibuya Granbell Hotel instead.

A short walk from Shibuya Station, APA Hotel Shibuya Dogenzakaue is a mid-range hotel with limited amenities and 173 cramped rooms spread out over 14 floors. Though tiny, rooms are pleasantly furnished with dark, contemporary decor, and all come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and kettles. Some also have balconies. Amenities here are few, though there are free hotel-wide Wi-Fi, a washing machine and dryer, and a charming cafe -- Komeda's Coffee Shop -- with limited reasonably priced Western and Japanese breakfast options.

Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel is an upscale business hotel situated in the towering Cerulean Tower skyscraper, just a short walk from Shibuya Station. The 411 rooms here are spread out over floors 19 through 37 and all have great views over the city, but for a high-end hotel, decor is noticeably staid. Facilities at this hotel are remarkable, including an extensive wellness center with a pool, hot tub, and gym, but it costs extra to use (except for Executive Floor guests). There are also numerous restaurants serving everything from Italian to Japanese fare, and lots of conference space for groups of up to 1,000 people. It's one of the nicest hotels in the area, but there are plenty similar hotels in other neighborhoods, such as the Hilton Tokyo, located in Shinjuku.

The mid-range Dormy Inn Premium Shibuya Jingumae hotel is in Tokyo's vibrant Shibuya District, an eight-minute walk to the Meiji-Jingumae subway station. The 136 guest rooms are spread over six stories, and rooms include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi.

The upper-middle-range JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku sports a modern, minimalistic design, and has 240 quiet rooms that are spacious by Tokyo standards. It’s located in the heart of Shinjuku business district, within walking distance from the subway for connections to Tokyo attractions and Narita airport. The hotel has few amenities, but there’s free and fast Wi-Fi, and the restaurant serves food all day. A Western and Japanese breakfast buffet is good quality but offers a limited selection; it’s also not included in all room rates, and is expensive as an extra. The nearby HotelSunroute Plaza Shinjuku is slightly cheaper, in an equally convenient location, and buses from Narita and Haneda airports stop right outside -- but it’s a popular spot and can get booked out months in advance.

Shibuya Granbell Hotel is an upper-middle-range business property situated in the busy Shibuya area, a five-minute walk from Shibuya Station.
