Amazing stay. The front desk men were very kind and helpful. The cleaning maids were very detail oriented. Overall great stay and not too close to the chaise that is Kabukicho

Pretty decent hotel. Alittle bit old inside and not as good as some others but very good location right in front of don q and food places.

It is a comfortable bed and much cheaper than anything else in Shinjuku, based near/in the Korean district and next to a Don Quijote - staff were very accommodating in regards to having to check out at 5am and the hotel was always open for us. Does get loud outside but close the windows and turn on the air con if too warm :)

All around a nice experience. The staff were very kind and helpful. I stayed for three weeks and grew very fond of the hotel and surrounding area. It's in a very convenient location with many useful things within walking distance, and it's easy to get around Tokyo as there is a Yamanote line station fairly close. The entire hotel felt clean and the staff was very nice. We efficiently communicated despite the language barrier and there were no problems.

Nice hotel with a few inconveniences

Nice location and spacious room. The room was fairly clean and had lots of amenities (it also had a hair curler which i loved). However, the check-in and check-out process was a bit frustrating, as I didn’t receive a reservation number or QR code when booking through Hotels.com, so we needed assistance from the staff. After checking out the first time, we also had to pay ¥6000 to store two bags overnight while we went to climb Mt. Fuji, even though we were returning to stay at the same hotel the very next day. Might as well have booked another room and left our bags in there…

Good location but security is questionable

Hotel location is good, 15 min walk to Shinjuku Stn, 5-10 min walk to other stns. Room was clean and comfortable, big shower with tub. Seperate toliet room. Doesn'thave daily room cleaning, you have to request it. The security of the hotel is of concern. No one mans the front desk. Every time we went in and out, no one was there. Anyone can enter the hotel and elevator requires no key card to get onto the floors, so security is none existing. If solo traveler and security is top of list, this hotel is not it.

Great stay

The front desk staff were lovely, we did use google translate to converse but overall super helpful. The hotel itself is a bit of a walk from Shinjuku station but there are other train stations nearby. Overall great hotel, as most hotels in Japan it is small but we found it quite spacious. The shower and bathtub was huge. Toilet had its own room and was easy to use. The interesting cute part was the wallpaper was all Mickey Mouse. For us this room served its purpose, a place to rest. We spent the rest of our time exploring Shinjuku and the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a good price and nice sleep. The beds were firm but I had an excellent sleep. Nice pillows. There was no room key but a code which was nice you don’t have to worry about loosing a physical key. If you’re on the fence just book it. You can take an uber from the train if you’re not too keen on walking from the train station. If you have kids I maybe would not recommend this place the location is nearby an area where there are a lot of clubs. Night life is bumpin’ in Shinjuku if you’re a couple or people with no kids it’s a fun spot. Did not share photos but the photos online are accurate they’re more of a 0.5 ratio so it’s smaller than you think but the rooms have a really good layout. Overall excellent. If we come back to Shinjuku we likely will stay here again. Don Quixote is right next door! Such good shopping. Just book it alright?

For my first time in Japan i couldn't have asked for a better hotel. Staff is polite and everything you need is within reasonable walking distance. Definitely would recommend and if i come back ill be staying here again!

8/10 Very good

Staff were very friendly throughout the stay, room had kettle, fridge and microwave which was convenient. Hotel was well situated for train stations and shops, despite being in a busy area we were rarely disturbed by noise from outside. Laundry room was a nice bonus especially as you didn’t need to provide washing detergent. Overall, a great experience at this hotel, the building is showing its age in places but this does not detract from all the positives.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was helpful with checking in and held our luggage on the day of our flight. It was located near subway stations and some major shopping areas. The room was clean, a decent size and it had all the normal amenities you’d expect. The walls were a little thin, we could hear the neighbor’s tv but maybe they had the volume really loud. I didn’t hear any talking, but they might have been alone in the room.

The room was quite small and the bathroom could use some updating as the water from the shower pooled away from the actual drain making it look like it was dirty all the time. The reception area was nice though.

The best accommodation at its price point. Big clean room with coffee table and settee. An old building but well maintained. A lot of restaurants nearby

Nice location

Location was great, especially if you're looking for Korean cuisine in Tokyo! Both hotel and room was clean, easy to use, and offered plenty. The bed was quite firm, but that's a personal preference for anyone.
