💡 Pro Tips for Shiba Park Hotel

1. For travelers using Haneda Airport, the hotel is a 10-minute walk from Hamamatsucho Station on the monorail, significantly reducing travel time compared to Narita Airport. This is a major advantage for those prioritizing airport accessibility.
2. When staying with three people, the Standard Triple Room (21-22 sqm) may have limited table space for dining. If you prefer more room, choosing the Deluxe Twin (max 3 guests, 32-39 sqm) will be much more comfortable.
3. The 1st-floor reception offers complimentary NESPRESSO coffee and ART of TEA organic tea for hotel guests (06:00-23:00). Perfect for a morning coffee before breakfast or a cup of tea after returning at night.
4. The hotel is in an older building. A common note from travelers is that the elevator and corridor interiors feel somewhat classic (retro). Keep this in mind if you expect a brand-new, modern hotel atmosphere.
5. Daily room cleaning is not provided. You need to request towel changes or amenity refills from the front desk separately. You’ll be informed of this at check-in, so don’t be surprised; just contact the front desk when needed, and they will respond promptly.
