Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were shockingly small, but at least they were clean and spacious. However, I was a bit disappointed to find 'Blood' stains on the walls and some bugs in the room. The service was a mix of very polite from some staff members and rather rude during check-in. The location was generally safe and convenient, close to the subway and popular areas, but I had to deal with some noise from sirens and speaking cars. The dining experience was a bit basic and not too tasty. The hotel's facilities were just average.
I found this hotel to be a nice choice for my stay. The rooms are definitely small but clean and spacious. The service was accommodating and friendly, although there were some minor inconveniences. The location is great if you prefer the quieter side of Shinjuku. The dining options were sumptuous, although I wished for more variety. Overall, it offered good value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of Shinjuku, close to Higashi-Shinjuku Station and a variety of nightlife spots and good ramen shops. The rooms are suitable for two people with small luggage, and the service provided by the owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. However, the hotel is not near the Yamanote line, and the rooms are quite small.
I found the hotel had neat and tidy rooms, although they were rather small. The service was exceptional, with staff being polite and helpful. The location was great for exploring Shinjuku and easily accessing transportation. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers a variety of amenities in the rooms, which are immaculate and well-equipped with essentials like shaving cream, toothbrush, and slippers. You can easily walk to Ginza in about 10 minutes. However, the rooms are a bit small with limited space for luggage, and the location may seem far from other activities.
The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the train station, providing easy access to popular sites. The rooms, although on the smaller side typical of Tokyo, were immaculately clean and perfect for solo travelers. While the service was polite, it lacked helpfulness in providing directions or adjusting room temperature. The proximity to Shinjuku station may not be as close as expected, but it was ideal for business travelers attending events nearby. The dining options were average, with some room for improvement, and the facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
