Location is important in Tokyo, and I thought the Shibuya hotel was a great value for its location.
I live here and like this post very much. It addresses what I see as the key issue, i.e. what combination of Quality (incl. luxury) and Location create the best value for you. To me this makes eminent sense. There are always cheaper or more luxurious, but the best hotel for many is the combination of the two that creates optimum utility.

Good post!
