Guest Reviews
- Mario (8/5): - Posizione comoda, stanza pulita, anche se in 6 notti di permanenza non è mai stata pulita totalmente, pur aggiungendo un asciugamano grande a testa(non sostituendo l'accappatoio), svuotando il cestino, ecc. È presente anche lavatrice e asciugatrice comuni. Ad ogni modo c'è ogni comodità e il personale è stato gentile. Stanza un po' piccola ma funzionale, abbiamo dormito in 2 in quella con soppalco, sconsiglierei di scegliere la due posti senza soppalco, ma così ci si sta. Sull'asciugatrice c'è chiaramente scritto di fare un prelavaggio prima di inserire i propri vestiti, ogni ciclo dura mezz'ora, oltre al pagamento extra. Su questo aspetto sono deluso della poca cura, anche perché dopo aver chiesto come funzionasse (dopo aver seguito le istruzioni scritte)ci è stato fatto spallucce. A parte questo tutto ok
- Josefina (4/5): - Excelente ubicación La limpieza. Dejamos en más de una oportunidad la tarjeta de limpieza de la habitación y la verdad es que con suerte solamente hacían la cama y sacaban la basura. Una vez, simplemnete estiraron el cubrecamas, no hicieron la cama, porque cuando me iba a acostar, el pijama estaba a los pies de la cama de bajo del cubrecamas.. El jabón y shampoo de la ducha era super irritante, tuve que comprar en una farmacia un jabón neutro y un shampoo compun y corriente (algo que no pasó en ningún lugar más). En la habitación había un pote de crema para usar, pero el dosificador estaba todo cochino. La habitación era realmente pequeña, muy típica de tokio, pero sumando a todo lo anterior, la verdad es que la experiencia en general no fue buena.

- Carlota (10/5): Buena experiencia - El cuarto era muy espacioso, la localización muy buena (Shinjuku centro está como a 10-15 mins), konbini y sitios para comer también cerca, nos dejaron dejar las maletas antes de la hora del chekin El hotel estaba muy cerca de una estación de metro, pero es una parada de metro que no tiene las mejores conexiones
- Ariana (8/5): - La ubicación esta bien, cerca de una estación de metro, esta en una zona residencial. La habitación con cama tipo loft no era cómoda la escalera ni el colchón.
- Krystian (9/5): Dobra cena do jakości jak na Shinjuku. - Bliskość do stacji Brak miejsc na powieszenie ubrań / odwiedzenie ręczników. Stosunkowo mało miejsca. Brak wanny.
- Gabriela (10/5): - bellissima top
- Przemyslaw (10/5): -
- Bruna (10/5): Clean, great location and helpful staff 💓 - The Place is very well maintained and taken care of, everything was clean and the staff was always helpful.
Location wise it is also great, you can reach easily the public transport, restaurants and nice skincare shops 🙌🏼 Nothing to complain, it was all very good 😊
- EIDER (7/5): - Habitación muy pequeña. La nevera al principio no funcionaba bien. Cama algo incómoda. Suficiente para descansar y ducharnos durante nuestra estancia en Tokio.
- Eugen (9/5): -
- Jye shyang (10/5): 旅店在安靜住宅區,離大馬路又近,便利性與安全是可以的!不過住宿走到新宿逛街區會經過歌舞伎町,如果獨自一人晚上有經過相關營業的街道時稍微注意周遭狀態 - 櫃檯人員親切,交通方便,附近超商多
- Daniel (8/5): Small hotel, private feel, calm peaceful stay - It was a small hotel with a peaceful private feel in the calm back streets. Small room but everything present and good bathroom. Good for independently-minded travellers. I enjoyed staying here more than the expensive 4-star high-rise, over-populated, always-queuing-for-everything, over-rated hotel in Shinjuku I stayed at when I first arrived in Tokyo. I liked everything and would stay again.

- Maria-Abigail (8/5): -
- Pin han (10/5): 非常美好的回憶 - 交通很便利 去新宿 澀谷 歌舞伎町
不管去哪都很方便
房間兩個行李箱打開都還有很充足的空間
交通便利到可以回去休息一下再出來也無妨
走一小段就有便利商店跟羅森
以後來東京都要住這了!!! 無

- Minh Thao (7/5): -
- Sara (8/5): Muy buen alojamiento en Tokio - Comodo - Ubicación y conexiones transporte público. Recepción estricta en horarios.
- Maximiliano (7/5): No volvería - La ubicación y atención Las instalaciones precarias, y no me refiero a lo pequeño de la habitación, lo cual uno ya sabe lo que está contratando y ya he estado en hoteles chicos.
La cama muy incómoda; la cortina no tapaba la ventana y entraba luz directo a la cama cuando amanecía. No tenía perchero para colgar nada, solo dos ganchos clavados a la pared.

- Ryan (10/5): 最高でした! - 周りの駅が多くて、どこでもすぐ行きやすかった。
また、徒歩ですぐ歌舞伎町や新大久保にたどり着く。
スタッフたちも優しかったです。 特に悪い点なかったという感じでした。
これからも今の品質をずっと維持してほしいです。

El personal excelente y muy amables La habitación que escogí era la más económica así
no es muy cómoda para dos personas
- Beatriz (10/5): -
- Kyle (9/5): Good hotel as home base for travellers in Tokyo - Good location. Minutes from the train station and about 10-15 minutes walking distance from the other line. In the Korea town area of Tokyo and super close to convenience stores. Also good walking/transit proximity to Shinjuku. It was pretty convenient but I would suggest planning out your day as it was a little further north depending on where you’ll be spending time in Tokyo.
They have two buildings. Very quiet, decent amount of space in the room. Bed and pillow was comfortable. Laundry available. They also cleaned the room daily. Wasn’t the most modern or stylish property but a good budget option. Other small thing but they didn’t have anywhere to hang towels. A bedside table would’ve also been nice
- Eva (8/5): -
- Zach (5/5): Cheap and fair - Great location couldn’t be any closer to the station staff were all very nice Bathrooms didn’t have a bidet, our room was in a basement so it was humid and lacked any kind of view
- Sagiv (7/5): Nice hotel and neighborhood - The staff were kind and helpful and the surrounding area was low buildings and low noise (for Tokyo). The room was not very nice, quite empty with old furniture. The pillows were low, and they had only one extra pillow when asking for more. It's overall okay, but it was pricey for the value.
- Veronica (10/5): - The staff were really nice and the location was ideal.
- Tolya (8/5): -
- Bruno (4/5): great location! too expensive. - Excellent location, easy to access and in a quiet area for a good night sleep The room was extremely small, I could hardly turn around, the bathroom was dangerously small. There was not table for my stuff, e.g. lap top.
the place is much too expensive for the comfort it offers
- Azaklı (10/5): Very friendly staff - Everything was sufficient and the staff was very friendly
- jacques (9/5): - L'emplacement, à 2 pas de Shinjuku (15 minutes à pied), dans une petite rue très tranquille, loin de l'agitation urbaine Il manque juste de quoi accrocher les serviettes de toilettes une fois qu'elles sont mouillées. Ki ki

- Chun Wei (10/5): 住宿方上傳的照片和實際情況相同,房間小而整潔,也不會太吵。暖氣正常運作,床墊舒服乾淨。距離東新宿車站非常近。服務人員會說英語,溝通順暢。 - 地點優秀,房間乾淨整潔 樓梯較狹窄,而且得住在地下室
- Chun Wei (10/5): -
- Elisa (10/5): -
- Linas (10/5): - Cozy room. Helpfull staff If you need more space, suggest looking at a bigger room, but for one two people it is fine.
Since washing takes less time than drying, maybe get one more dryer if possible.
- Hsiu Kuo (8/5): -
- Abbie (8/5): Great stay - Great location, larger room size than we anticipated. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Handy location for transport and shinjuku! Nothing
- Dueñas (9/5): -
- Jeremy (6/5): - Attention, les chambres eco sont vraiment ridiculement petites (même pour le Japon !).
- Glenn (10/5): will come back soon! - good nothing at all
- Kelley Ann (10/5): - Very good - compact room. Super friendly and helpful staff. Location so good 👍🏻😊 Nothing
- Paweł (10/5): -
- Marta (6/5): -
- Enrique (8/5): Volveria a hospedarme con esa excelente relacion calidad-precio - La amabilidad del personal y la buena predisposición a todas las preguntas. La ubicacion era perfecta, ya que esta en un lugar muy cerca del metro, habia varios kombinis y muchos restaurantes, pero a su vez el hotel esta en un lugar muy tranquilo. El hotel estaba muy limpio y el baño cumplia todas las expectativas Lo unico que le faltaria para subirle la calificacion es ofrecer desayuno. Nada mas
- Victor (1/5): A fuir - La chambre était sale, nombreuses traces de moisissures, l’air était humide et difficilement respirable. Serviettes de toilette sales. Mur trop fin, on entend les voisins ronfler.
Nous devions rester 7 nuits mais nous avons dû changer d’hôtel après une nuit. Les parties communes étaient dans le même état.
L’accueil laisse à désirer par rapport à d’autres hôtels de la même gamme…
Passez votre chemin, il y a largement mieux au même prix à deux rues !!!
- Gianmarco (9/5): -
- Tobias (9/5): Good hotel in perfect location for exploring Shinjuku - - Location: quiet second row building in Shinjuku, close to Higashi-Shinjuku station
- Staff: very friendly and extremely supportive
- Hotel: late check-out possible

- Stephanie (10/5): Lovely - The ladies running the property were so friendly. The loft bed was cozy and the room was relatively spacious for the price. Had a kettle, stovetop and hairdryer. Very nice stay
- Xhoan (9/5): - Posizione top, 100 mt circa dalla fermata della Metro. Camera molto piccola.
- XOXO (9/5): - Ubicación excelente! Cerca de todo pero en un lugar super tranquilo... El sitio cumple perfecto con lo necesario duermes bien!.. el personal amable y servicial... Todo limpio no percibimos i ningún olor como el wue describió alguien en otras opciones la verdad ... Muy bien
- Taylor (8/5): -
- Paweł (9/5): Great value - Great localization 1 minute from metro. Wals are thin. We had antresola room on parter. Bardzo słychać każdy krok sąsiadów z pierwszego piętra.
- Conor (8/5): -
- Ahmet Levent (10/5): - A perfect place to stay in Tokyo. Located near Shinjuku, Shin-Okubo Station, and Higashi-Shinjuku Metro Station, it offers easy access to the city’s main attractions. The rooms are clean, neat, reasonably spacious, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. Nothing, all perfect.
- Dafne Berenice (7/5): -
- Nisaon (7/5): -
- GRIECOJR (8/5): Perto de tudo - Excelente localização, quartos não muito espaçosos mas muito pitorescos, com as camas numa espécie de mezzanine. A zona é muito tranquila e residencial, mas próxima de algumas das principais atrações de Tokyo. Em termos de espaço, o maior problema é mesmo a casa de banho e, em especial, a zona do duche.
- Dina (10/5): Спасибо большое персоналу отеля, номер уютный, чистый, расположение прекрасное, как говорится в тесноте да не в обиде - Персонал очень отзывчивый, каждый день убирали мусор, заменяли полотенца, номер очень чистый, хоть и не большой, но вместительный. За свою цену на Синдзюку самое то. Автобусные остановки и станции метро находятся близко, поэтому очень круто. Есть лифт для чемоданов)
- Lucila Dalia (10/5): - La ubicación está excelente, la estación de metro está cerca y muy tranquilo el lugar.
- Emre (8/5): - good place , very clean and good location
- Jeremy (9/5): L’hotêl est un peu excentré de la gare de Shinjuku (10 bonnes minutes à pieds) et c’est une bonne chose car le lieu est - Très propre, rien à redire.
- Cassidy (9/5): Great stay, would go back. - Great location and friendly staff! I was a little disappointed that there weren’t any bidets in the toilet. Also th bathroom in general was pretty outdated. That’s my only negative tho, it was a really nice place.
- SERINA (10/5): -
- Michna (7/5): Budget friendly room, convenient location, can be loud inside. - The location was very convenient to 7/11, 2 popular subway lines (5-7 min walk), quiet neighborhood, staff and very nice and friendly. They offer daily room cleaning. There is a kettle and mini fridge in room too which was helpful. Coin laundry in basement. If you book the loft, the people upstairs are very loud (stomping,moving etc) since it’s close to the ceiling. The ladder to get to the bed is very steep and wobbly so be careful not to fall. The loft room option the toilet has NO bidet which we were looking forward to. There isn’t anywhere to hang your towels in the bathroom so we just put it on the shower pole.
- Gavia (5/5): Busca otra opción - La ubicacion, estaba cerca de una estacion de metro que conecta con varias, aun asi para llegar a otros lugares de Tokio hacias 30 minutos minimo. El baño no es japones, por si gustas la experiencia de japon este no lo tiene, las regaderas son extremadamente pequeñas y eso que visite hoteles pequeños en Japon, pero este era minimo e incomodo, y que la cama este arriba es muy incomodo si tienes claustofobia o algo similar no podras dormir comodo, me salio una cucaracha en el baño. La lavanderia solo abre de 6am-10pm y como turista no funciona salvo que te levantes super temprano para lavar o llegues temprano porque si llegas despues de las 10 ya no puedes, adicional es extremadamente ruidoso, las paredes parecen de papel. invierte un poco mas y busca otra opción.

- Deny (8/5): - Alles in de kamer is functioneel ingericht. Douche en bed is prima. Ligging is goed. Het is een kwartier lopen vanuit het station van Shinjuku, en is ook een metro station om de hoek. Makkelijk te lopen naar het centrum. De kamer is erg klein, en je moet klimmen naar het bed (voor ons geen probleem, maar dat kan het wel zijn als je slecht ter been bent). Als je eenmaal boven bent, dan is de ruimte rondom het bed wel weer prima.
