Ideally located......

Instead of "five minutes' walk", state the hotel's distance from the station.

An elderly, arthritic man like me and a fit young tennis player like Andy Murray will judge for ourselves how many minutes it will take us to walk the specified distance.

I'm sorry, I disagree with Rover_KE. You are trying to promote your hotel, five minutes sounds to me a lot better that 900m and gives me a clearer idea of how far it is to the station.

@Rover_KE @Citibox Thank you very much.

But if it takes me 20 minutes to walk the distance, the hotel owner runs the risk of being sued for false representation.

OK, so let's talk about somewhere I know rather than somewhere I don't. Berkeley Square London W1 to Belgrave Square London SW1. theaa.com tells me that this is 1.1 miles and will take (in a car) 7 minutes. At 03:00 am they may be right but at midday if you can do this it would only be on a fast motorcycle, it could take you 30 minutes in a taxi.

So what is more useful to me as a visit

That's a different case.

It would be more useful to me to know how far it is from the OP's hotel to the station.

I know how long it takes me to walk 1.1 miles.

I don't know how fast he walks when he tells me it takes him 5 minutes.

The thing is, Rover_KE that the guy is trying to write a simple hotel brochure. Yes, I agree that a Google map would probably help but do you know how long it takes to walk 1.1 miles (or 1.76km which the rest of the world outside the US and UK use)?

I'll leave the last word with you, Citibox.

We clearly disagree and nobody else seems to give a ****.

Thank you very much for your answer.
I just wanted to emphasize it is close and a walking distance to the station.
But I understand whatRover_KE points out.
It would take elderly, arthritic men more than 5 mins.
Apart from how long it takes,
how does this sound to you for an expression on a brochure.
Ideally located, a stone throw away from Shibuya Station on JR Yamanote Li

No, a stone's throw means what it says, maybe 50 meters. Stick with your five minutes if that is genuinely what a normal tourist would take to walk the route, if it is not genuine (don't measure it by people walking fast to catch the train to work, tourists take their time they want to look at the sights and not be rushed) then increase it to seven minutes or 10 minutes or whatever is accurate.
