    Air conditioner was not very good. It barely cooled the room and it was very hot. Our room had street light coming.

    Very good location. Liked the residential vibe of the area, walking distance from Shinjuku. Clean, comfortable room, quiet street - except for one night when someone was constantly yelling on the street. Good value.

    Wasn't expecting much for the price. The common areas were under renovation, they can be improved.

    No thrills hotel that gets the job done. Clean, good shower and comfortable beds.

    Great value if all you are looking for is a bed to stay the night while you are in Tokyo. There were no elevators and the amenities were pretty minimal. Cleaning is only done when requested, which I was not bothered by. We stayed during cherry blossom season and this was the only hotel that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, so I respect that.

    The sloped ceiling meant that a third of a small room was unusable. The pillows were a mangled mess and the bathroom was very unpleasant and seemed to have stability and leakage issues. Everything is tired and run down, but you get what you pay for.

    Staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was great. The bed was comfortable, and the room and area was quiet. The wifi worked well and consistently.

    It would have been nice to have a trash can available in the Annex lounge, similar to the main lounge. Hot water was a bit intermittent, especially late at night or early in the morning.

    The room location is fantastic with tons of food and entertainment options, plus super close to the JR train station. The room was nice, with a great little workstation for our computer. Window overlooked a cute koi pond across the alley. Room had plenty of amenities, and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

    Unpleasant odour in the bathroom which the ventilation could not cope with but a closed door did. You could touch the wall of the house opposite with your hand from the window, there was almost no lighting at all, however we only stayed overnight in the hotel and this was not a problem at all. It was quiet though! In 4 days we could not arrange for rubbish to be taken out as you have to ask for this at reception and leave your key.

    The booking price was only barely cheaper than a comparable offer in an 8 bed hostel, and here you get a private room for that kind of money, so I wouldn't want to complain. The room was huge by Japanese standards, has a wardrobe to put things in, a table to eat at, renovated bathroom, simple European toilet. Satisfactory cleanliness, no maid service. Comfortable beds. Good location between Shin-Okubo and Shinjuku stations, I really liked the Korean neighbourhood.

    -no soundproof room. -no elevator. Not Senior Citizen friendly hotel. -no front desk staff in the annex building. -We were assigned to room 301 to 303. Both are 15-18sqm but 301 doesn't seem as big as 302 and 303. -small bathroom and NO BIDET. Bring portable bidet like I did! 🤣 -Bring a scented disinfectant because their room has a musty smell, but it will eventually disappear if the exhaust fan is on for a long time. -I suggest that all rooms has door eyelet and double lock.😬

    -The room is spacious for 2 pax with 5 luggages only. We were able to move around comfortably. -They will clean your room if you leave your key to the front desk. -You can bring food and reheat it on their microwave. -there are alot of restaurants and convenience stores. -Just a 10min(max) walk going to Don Quijote, Okubo Station, and Shin Okubo Station. -Near the famous shopping districts like Shinjuku and Shibuya. 1 station away to Shinjuku and 2 for Shibuya.
