Reviews of Shin Okubo Sekitei 2 stars

This is a really good hotel if you want value for money somewhere that you will be made to feel welcome. The staff are so friendly. If you want high end luxury this probably isn't the place to book but if you want somewhere that is reasonably priced and really central this is your place. The hotel was immaculate. It was a Japanese style layout with beds on the floor which were really comfortable. The reception desk is staffed 24 hours a day and you leave the key with them if you go out. This is a bit unusual and we unsure at first but it actually works really well if you have people coming back to the rooms at different times. It is a quick 20 min walk into Shinjuku but you are situated away from the madness of Kabukicho in a slightly quieter area. The hotel is also a few minutes walk from Shin Okubu Station which is on the Yamanote line so there is quick access to everywhere in Toyko. We would definitely book again for convenience, comfort and affordability.

Nothing - it was perfect for us.

Very cute and nice accommodation in a traditional japanese style. The host is a very cute woman, who was very kind. Definitely recommend!

The room is in a traditional Japanese style, which is a good experience. We slept on futons, and they were so comfortable! The price was also affordable for such a location (near Shinjuku) and quality.

The accommodation is well located, next to metro station of the green line .

Wonderful location, extremely close to the station. Staff were incredibly friendly and all very happy to help, all had great English skills too which was really helpful. Room wise it was spacious for what we paid. The tatami beds were comfortable, and staff changed our towels daily, bed sheets changed every three days. There was a dressing room with a table, wardrobe and clothes rack- very convenient to leave baggage. Shower and toilet both in best condition and very clean. Laundry was easy to use and communal kitchen/common room available for use. Wifi is available. Free bathroom amenities and hairdryer available too.

Nothing!

The staff was really kind and helpful and incredibly accomodating with our luggage. We felt immediately welcomed! The room is really spacious and clean. The location was perfect to explore several Tokyo neighborhoods in no time thanks to the proximity with the metro line (including Yamanote line)

We just stayed one night. I would say everything was great. The location was excellent.

We just stayed one night, and everything was fine.

The staff is wonderfull, the localisation is perfect !

The toilette was a lil bit too small for my friend, but it was alright for me !

- Very conveniently located near train stations, convenient stores and restaurants. - Room is cleaned every day. - Friendly staffs who help to carry our luggage upstairs (no escalators fyi), suitable for travellers who travel light.

- Paper thin curtains so may not be suitable for light sleepers. - Need to pass the room key to the reception every time we leave the unit. Wasn't a major issue as the receptionist was always available.

Perfect location, reasonably sized room, very nice staff.

it was local

First night I couldn’t sleep because of the smell from the toilet. Each morning i wake up with noise of goose or chickens and I heard someone vomiting early in the morning. my son bang his head a few times because each door has some woods on top of the doors and no signs.

The location is good

The room stinks!!! It smelled like molded tatami mixed with dusty air condition pipe. It's also in such a old building and doesn't feel clean at all. In addition, I've paid way more than I should. My booking was early so it suppose to be cheaper but then the price went down so much and I've over paid at least half of it. So disappointing.

We loved this hotel, the character of our room and it was much more spacious than expected with the additional wardrobe/room. We enjoyed the location a lot and would definitely come back.

Very friendly staff and very authentic hotel. Everything was clean and the location is perfect. The Shinjuku station is about 15 minutes walk.

Nothing

Very friendly staff and great location. Room was cute and comfortable and had all amenities needed. Loved that it was open 24/7!

The staff here were very friendly and helpful. Great location if you want to explore central Tokyo - very close to Shin-Okubo station.

Room was smaller than it appeared in pictures - a bit tight for a family of three, with low thresholds for anyone over 5'10" (177cm) or so. Room was generally clean but could really use some repairs / replacements.
