Great little hotel in a nice part of the city. We booked a few rooms and I ended up having one with an extremely big bed - cannot remember the room category. I'd say unless booking for a family, that size bed is completely unnecessary and a smaller room category would be recommended. It's too big for the room size. Otherwise, all is lovely - the staff, the comfort, the location - I'd come back. The bar upstairs was also very good and their drinks were great.

“Fantastic boutique hotel in a lovely area”

Absolutely everything about this hotel was wonderful. The staff was supervise and attentive, the interiors were beautiful and the location was just right for us. The Lively is nestled in an upscale residential area that is both quiet and central. It took us both 20 mins to Shibuya and to Ginza. The Roppongi Hill Towers with the Mori Art Museum and Observation deck as well as a really nice shopping center that offers great Japanese brands away from the touristy spots made Azabu-Juban the perfect area for us. The staff is super attentive. They even kept pars of our luggage stored while we travelled to Kyoto and Hakone for a few days, so we were able to travel lightly and didn't have to book extra space on the Shinkansen. We absolutely loved the Lobby bar with its pool table and the Happy Hour from 5pm to 6pm where guest could mingle and relax. It felt so cozy and welcoming. We also made much use of the coffee station there that offered coffee specialities free of charge 24/h (great for the jet lagged!). The roof top bar was another highlight. Super delicious cocktails and a great view over Tokyo Tower. We can highly recommend the superior rooms - ours were corner rooms that had a good sizing (for Tokyo) and an extra window for more daylight. Thank you to everyone at The Lively for making our stay a special time. We will definitely be back!

“Perfect hangout in Tokyo”

Perfect spot for hanging out in Tokyo. Good for the business or leisure traveler. It’s well set up, the rooms are clean and big enough. The guest lounge is a nice touch and means you can get out of your room for a bit. Breakfast is simple but good choices and nicely presented. Coffee on tap, and complimentary beer from 5-6pm. The location is really good, with metro nearby and easy to get around Tokyo. Nice vibe and cool neighborhood too. Staff were great too.

“Good hotel with cleverly designed rooms in an excellent location. Free coffee and happy hour”

We did not like the first room we stayed in as there was no outlook and the windows were frosted which made the tiny room seem even tinier but the staff were great and moved us to a room with clear windows and street view

A very cool little hotel in a great neighbourhood. Walk out on to local streets with great little shops, restaurants and bars & subway station is 5 min walk. This area is great for admiring every luxury car you could think of! The hotel breakfast is awesome, a choice of 4 dishes and they make to order (western style eg smoked salmon & avo, scrambled eggs & bacon etc. Supermarket also very close by and a 7-11 on the ground floor. Comfy bed & pillows.

“Conflicted. Some good, some not so good”

The location is cute, the more you explore the more interesting it becomes. Good Soba spot right across the street. They let you check in early if the room is ready which is a a treat for people arriving from long flights. Good water pressure in the shower. Breakfast service is good, good fresh ground coffee in the machine, lounge area is open and stress free. You’re invisible.

“Amazing stay in Toyo”

The vibe at the property was excellent. The bar area is fantastic and a nice and convenient area to just hang or do some work. Our room was quite large and very comfortable.

“Perfect stay in Tokyo”

Very nice, everything you can expect from a boutique hotel. They have fixed menu as breakfast. If you stay few days you might want to take breakfast elsewhere. Location is perfect. We took the kingsroom the bed is 3p is amazing.

The location was not near any of the major tourist spots, but was good in terms of access to public transportation and in Tokyo, that is the most important. The bar at the top of the building was very nice Room size was ok
