Situated just a short walk from Shinagawa station this hotel makes it easy to travel throughout the city by train. I had the good fortune of being there to witness the spectacular Cherry Blossoms in full bloom. The hotel was spectacular as well with wonderful accommodations, city views and even a view of Mt.

I've stayed in many "I" hotels in Asia, this is likely the worse check-in experience I've ever had (luck of the draw I guess). I'd reserved a double single bed, upon arrival, I re-confirmed with the check-in girl if the room was indeed a double single bed. She said 'yes', I got to my room it was a king size.... more

We arrived at 10 in the morning but the staff still checked... more

Over the years and my many stays though, the quality has started to decrease. The rooms are looking warn (especially the carpet) and more times than not they... more

I would actually rate this hotel a 4.5, if possible. The Strings is a lovely hotel, with exceptional servlce. I felt very posh staying here, as you take a elevator to the 26th floor to check in.
