Guest Reviews
- Elzix (9/5): -
- aznjustinx (7/5): - comfy bed, near kabuchiko and convenient stores and some train station Small bathroom, no toilet seat temperature adjustment, not as big as advertised, door hard to close
- Merisalo (9/5): - Kompakti, hyvä sijainti, henkilökunta reagoi todella nopeasti Huoneessa oli hieman likaista
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Alexandra (8/5): Appartamento comodo con tutto il necessario e posizione fantastica! - Posizione fantastica! Vicina al cuore di Shinjuku e allo stesso tempo zona tranquilla.
Metro a pochi minuti di distanza, il che rende comodo spostarsi e raggiungere velocemente i luoghi di interesse.
Letti grandi e comodi. La pulizia del bagno poteva essere un po meglio (il ventilatore era pieno di polvere) e mancava la tendina della doccia.
Poco spazio per aprire le valige, ma d'altronde per un appartamento a Tokyo non ci si poteva aspettare grandi spazi.
- Encio (5/5): -
- Kristine (10/5): Budget place with good location! Will recommend - Close to center Space, cant open suitcase fully
- Oscar (7/5): -
- Muhammad Iqbal (10/5): -
- ELOIR TABORDA DOS (9/5): -
- Muhd (8/5): Comfortable - Easy to locate, walking distance to Shinjuku train station, responsive owner, accommodations are all complete. There's no space to open your luggage, so I open them on the bed instead and had to close/open repetitively.
- kien (8/5): -
- Marisol (10/5): Excellent - Quiet had a balcony comfortable and clean and great location
- Li (8/5): - 位置非常好,步行至地铁站和新宿商业街很方便!
- Bobby (7/5): - Strategic location Was a hiccup with the staff but then they were helpful
- Léa (9/5): -
- Rick (4/5): You need to set up door for shower and more room for restroom. Tall guy I am - It was ok No shower curtain. And no door in shower
- Priya (5/5): -
- Shala (10/5): Perfect for students - The area was perfect if you yearn for the city experience. Close to metro, shops and everything in between. -
- Iulia (8/5): - Location, good value for money, decently confortable for 3 people although it's small, but it has a balcony Cleaness was ok but a little under the standard
- Charles (6/5): Great location, not worth the price for the cleanliness - The location was premium and the check-in process was incredibly convenient. Spending two days was great to get around parts of tokyo like Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya. The inside of shower curtain was entirely covered in black mould, a shocking amount. It was not fit to be bookable in that state.
- Ian (7/5): - Hard to find hotel,was not where the address said needed to be guided to building.
- Jyun Kai (8/5): -
- Sophie (8/5): - Chambre propre, literie confortable, un peu serré à 4 mais c’était très bien. Salle de bain au top.
Laverie à dispo pour pas très cher du tout dans le bâtiment au RDC avec sèche linge donc c’était top!
Très proche du métro et pratique pour se déplacer même à pied pour certains quartier comme Sinhjuku.
- ANGELA (4/5): - Cucarachas sucio y la zona no es de lo mejor para familias ni en pareja
- Dijkstra (10/5): Très plaisant pratique et agréable - Très propre et accessible Rien
- KARIN (10/5): -
- Eren (4/5): Berbat… - Konumu birçok metro istasyonuna yakın olması avantajı sadece Resimlerdeki oda ile aynı değildi odamız ayrıca çarşaflar kirli bir şekildeydi tamam çok iyi bir konaklama beklemiyorduk fakat en azından çarşaflarımız temiz olabilirdi bunu. Yanı sıra burası kesinlikle hir otel değil daire kiralama yapılıyor güvenlik yok bundan dolayı otel konforu da yok ayrıca bu binada bu durumun yasak olduğunu belirtten bir sürü yazı asılı bu durumun illegal olduğunu söyleyeyim fotoğrafları ekledim bence kesinlikle başka hir yeri tercih edin
- seiho (8/5): - La señal del wifi no era buena
- Amedeo (7/5): -
- Mahaliana (5/5): -
- Christie (7/5): Room was clean. Laundry was helpful. Owner is flexible.wish there’s more shelves for our things. Bathroom needs hook for - The owner was nice to let us check in early. It was a big relief after a very ling flight. Smell of the lobby and hallways.
- Tanya (9/5): Fun location, lots of places to explore. - Perfect size for my teenaged daughter and I. Hard to find, map app took me around the corner. Better directions from the owner would have been nice.
- Davide (7/5): - Buona presenza di servizi (es. lavatrice, aria condizionata) e ottima posizione. Piccolo per quattro persone. Adatto solo per dormire.
- Jacob (1/5): Dangerous, unsafe, unhygienic! - nothing Absolutely Disgusting and Unsafe – Stay Away at All Costs!
This was hands down the worst accommodation experience I have ever had – and that’s saying a lot. From the moment we checked in, everything about this place screamed dirty, dodgy, and completely unhygienic.
There were cockroaches crawling everywhere, especially in the bathroom – an absolute health hazard. The air conditioning unit was leaking excessively, soaking the floor with water, and it was clearly poorly installed. We were constantly stepping in puddles. The shower walls were covered in mold, making it feel like we were bathing in filth. To make matters worse, the toilet and shower drains were completely blocked after just two quick showers, causing foul smells and dirty water to rise – and instead of apologizing or offering help, the host blamed us for not cleaning it. Unbelievable.
We also woke up covered in insect bites from the dirty bed covers, which we later suspected were infested. The doors were difficult to open, constantly jamming and adding to the stress of just trying to move around the apartment. Every small thing became a hassle.
To top it all off, the host was aggressive and incredibly rude from the start. Any time we tried to communicate about the issues, they were dismissive, condescending, and even threatening in tone. We felt uncomfortable, frightened, and completely unsupported throughout our stay. Zero accountability and zero professionalism.
This property should be taken off the platform immediately. It’s not fit for human stay, and absolutely no one should have to endure what we did. We left feeling disgusted, upset, and genuinely unsafe. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE.
- Tatlılıoğlu (1/5): The property owner is extremely rude. I had set an alarm for my check-out time, but as things happen, I accidentally ove - The property owner is extremely rude. I had set an alarm for my check-out time, but as things happen, I accidentally overslept. Still, I packed my things quickly and left on time. However, he immediately threatened to call the police. Such a terrible person—it’s like basic human decency no longer exists. I definitely do not recommend this place. Also, the towels weren’t very clean either.
- Yan (6/5): Shinjuku fun, location good, the accommodation not so good. - Location is good, close to subway, konbini/aeon just steps away, and yayoiken and matsuya just next door. Too small for 4 people (2 adults, 2 teens).
- Krystyna (7/5): Good - Great location, has a mart 1min away where I would get my breakfast every morning. Everything was very clean. No room for luggage.
- Ed (1/5): I will never book this accommodation anymore. Neither will I recommend this place to others. - The location is good. The room is too small. There isn't any space to put luggage and walk. The bed fittings and towels are not clean.
- Ed (1/5): It is definitely not worth the money staying here despite its good location. - Nothing Everything. Cleanness is worst. The towel they offer is wet when we checked in. The main door is spoilt, you need to kick open the door. The bedsheets are all dirtied with stains.
- Gabi (7/5): Good -
- Victoria (8/5): it was basic but a decent place to stay - location hard to find and nobody available to help with check in
- Cora (8/5): I am happy with what I paid for. Host was easy to reach and instructions were very clear. - The place has everything I need down to the smallest details. There are all the essentials that you don't get from hotel stay. The washing machine inside the unit was very thoughtful. I wish the wifi could be more stable. My family and I had travel esim so it didn't really matter for us but If you don't I suggest to have your own data.
- Wee (8/5): Very good - Small room with everything in it. Practical. Good location. No space to open big luggage.
- Radithya (6/5): Pleasant - Location was good, basically right in the middle of Shinjuku (though a 15 min walk to JR Shinjuku). Matsuya and a ramen shop were close by. Vending machine downstairs with hot drinks was nice in winter. Limited space for suitcases. Definitely "just enough" space for 4 people to sleep. Very small Problem: Coin operated laundry machines, was under the impression that the machine was inside, and no clothes iron.
- Veerappan (8/5): Very good -
- Ariel (8/5): Very good -
- Loren (1/5): Worst experience ever! - The location is close to metros. I recently stayed at Tokyo Ichiban Kabukicho during our family holiday in Japan, and unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. Here are the key issues we faced during our stay:
Hygiene and Cleanliness
Upon arrival, we saw a mouse running outside the front door of the property, which raised serious concerns about hygiene.
The towels provided had an unpleasant smell, indicating poor cleaning and maintenance.
Non-functional Facilities
The bathroom tap water system was not working properly. It only provided extremely hot water with no option for cool water, making it impossible to take a proper bath.
Although the host sent staff to address the issue, it was not resolved, and the water temperature remained unsuitable for use.
Lack of Support
When we requested to swap rooms due to the water issue, our request was denied.
We also asked to check out a day earlier, but this request was declined as well, leaving us no choice but to stay.
Host's Behavior Post-Stay
After leaving, I submitted a review to express my dissatisfaction, rating cleanliness, service, and overall experience poorly. Instead of addressing the feedback constructively, the host responded unprofessionally:
Claimed that negative feedback wouldn’t affect them because they could simply create new accounts and re-list the property.
Threatened to block me from booking any of their properties in the future.
Conclusion
The property’s poor service, lack of functionality, and unprofessional host behavior nearly ruined our holiday experience. While the location deserves credit (4/5 stars), everything else about this stay was subpar. I strongly advise Booking.com to review the quality and standards of this property to prevent other customers from facing similar issues.
- Nicholas (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sue (5/5): Passable - Unclean room, found pills on bed head, used tissues in bathroom. Very small.
- Ana (9/5): Superb -
- Wakako (8/5): Very good - - The location was great - about a 4-minute walking distance from Shinjuku 3-chome station and 11-minute walk from JR Shinjuku station. It was also by a main street so it was easy to pick a taxi.
- The room was clean and the beds were quite spacious - although the toilet area was a bit narrow.
- The check-in and check-out process was easy and smooth. - The entrance was a bit narrow. While the beds were spacious and nice, they filled up most of the room space, so it was difficult to find space to open or store our suitcases.
- Sometimes, late at night, the main street (right next to the building) was loud.
- G.s (8/5): Very good - bed's were big and comfortable, excellent communication, the staff
are great no hassles, big washers and dryers windows on the main street
- Tin (8/5): Satisfied - Clean and convenient The power suddenly turned off
