Guest Reviews

• Serena (7/5): -
• Keiko (7/5): ひとつ珍しい経験になったなーと思います。 - ベッドはふかふかで清潔だった。安い。 早稲田駅から徒歩10〜15分くらい。途中にコンビニがあって便利。 洗濯機もあって、長く滞在するならそれなりに快適。 民泊です。 風呂トイレの古さ。溝などが汚くて嫌だった。 テレビのリモコンはなかった。代わりに謎のリモコンがあったけど、なんの約にも立たなかった。アパート名ではないので注意。
• Angela (7/5): - Camera più grande della norma, metro a 5 minuti a piedi e poco distante dal centro di Shinjuku (2 fermate). Quartiere tranquillo. Piccola cucina e terrazzo disponibile. Avrei gradito qualche asciugamano in più, avendo soggiornato 5 notti. Camera non pulitissima e bagno un po’ piccolo.
• Lexton (1/5): DONT COME HERE - nothing DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE MISLEADING IMAGES. The apartment suffers from severe maintenance neglect, structural leaks, and widespread mold, making it entirely unfit for guests. We booked this accomodatiom, thinking ee could cook delicious japanese A5 wagyu in the kitchen HOWEVER, the kitchen was unusable. Given the induction cooktop, it was hard to get a sear on the beef but given the space and price, this was excusable. WHAT WASN'T EXCUSABLE, WAS THE SAFETY HAZARDS PRESENT. The kitchen induction cooktop was completely unsealed to the bench. Because of this, water leaked directly through the gaps and into the lower cabinets whenever the area was used or cleaned. Mixing unsealed water drainage with the electrical housing of an induction cooktop is a massive safety hazard. From thr attached image, it is clear that it is inevitable that water will splash towards the stovetop, given the tiny distance but what's NOT OKAY is this leakage. We contacted the property agent and they sent two guys over the next day. They inepected it for one second and said it was okay and the device was waterproof and could be used normally. Additionally, they claimed the waterproofing between the bench and cooktop was degraded due to time, By this logic, shouldn't there be a chance the waterproofing sealant within the cooktop could possibly have degraded? They shook us off and denied even a partial refund. The property has a systemic moisture and ventilation problem. We spotted visible mold growing on the shower curtains and in the bathroom corners. Far worse, mold was actively growing directly on the apartment walls, creating discomfort and possible health hazards. Images of this mould is attached To add to the bathroom, the toilet was broken, it could only do big flushes, which followed by with a three minute water refilling process??? As for the beds, they were literally on the floor, lifted up by two old pallets??? COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE SDVERTISED IMAGES.

• SU (7/5): -
• Joseph Jr (8/5): - No bidet at least in our unit.
• Olga (6/5): -
• Linnéa (3/5): Mögel - Hyfsat bra läge, när till matbutik, fint och lite lugnare område runt om. Väldigt litet boende och mögel på många ställen. Väldigt fuktigt i rummet, till och med ens kläder blev lite smått fuktiga. Kändes inte så fräscht pga detta, annars välstädat.
• Veronica (8/5): Location: TOP! -
• Izquierdo Pérez (5/5): - El sitio calidad precio esta normalito. El sitio es bastante antiguo, sobretodo el baño.
• Joannes (7/5): Schoon wel klein - Locatie was uistekend, Wel kleine kamer
• Giulio (6/5): -
• Dung (9/5): Tôi sẽ quay lại! - Không gian bếp rộng, bàn ghế ăn tốt cho 8 người; Thiết bị mới và tốt. Giường rộng thoải mái, chăn-ga-gối sạch sẽ. Nhân viên lễ tân rất chuyên nghiệp. Cầu thang bộ, khá khó khăn khuân valy. Giao nhà lúc 16:00’
• Cheron (6/5): - The lockbox was jammed. It took a while to get the keys. The beds are pretty uncomfortable. You can feel the springs. Location was great. The place is pretty rudimentary. Kitchen utensils were scarce. Overall a 6 for the price.
• Federico (6/5): -
• Millie (7/5): -
• Wijnie (7/5): - Er was wel een wasmachine, maar geen waslijnen
• Demetra (6/5): Overall, the apartment has a good location and responsive staff, but improvements in facilities and housekeeping would m - We appreciated several aspects of our stay. The staff allowed us to check in our luggage earlier, which was very convenient. The location also made it easy to access the train, and communication through booking was smooth—responses came within half an hour, which was very helpful. That said, there were a few areas that could be improved. We had to request a bath curtain, which wasn’t initially provided. The air conditioning wasn’t working properly, and the room became quite cold. I also asked for a small mirror in the main room, but unfortunately, this wasn’t arranged. During our 10-day stay, the room was not cleaned at all, and although we requested new towels, the old ones were not collected. The bathroom and WC were extremely small, making them uncomfortable to use. Lastly, we had to ask for the trash bins to be emptied, which ideally should have been done automatically.

• Jessica (7/5): The apartment had a lot of space, however was a little outdated especially the bathroom. Otherwise the location was in a - Spacious room and location Bathroom
• Lumetess (8/5): Logement pratique - Bonne localisation. Logement avec tous les équipements nécessaires. Communication excellente avec l'hôte. Prix intéressant Logement petit. Insonorisation et isolation.
• Mariia (9/5): - Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and felt very comfortable. The location was excellent, with many shops nearby, which made everything very convenient. We also appreciated having a bathtub instead of just a shower — it added extra comfort after long days. The bed was large and very comfortable, making it easy to rest well. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which was not reliable and kept disconnecting frequently.
• Nancy (8/5): -
• Martina (7/5): Instantný nocľah - Dobrá poloha, príjemná obytná štvrť. Staršie vybavenie, stiesnené podmienky.
• 영민 (7/5): -
• Tsubasa (3/5): - 特になし 設備清潔感
• Chandrasekera (6/5): Decent value for money - Easy check in and check out Bathroom was quite small.
• Emma (3/5): Not as we saw in pictures - The location is fine and bedsheets are clean. The living space is so small that the tv is almost touching the small dining table. They asked us to register way ahead of time and the owner knew we are all seniors. But they did not tell us that there is no elevator and no railings in the stoned steps of the building.. Two chairs were broken that 2 of us almost fell on the floor. One us of had a hard time going up and down the stairway and had painful hips that we had to book a hotel in Booking. Com and moved just after 3 nights.
• Shelina (8/5): Overall this was a great stay! - The host was very gracious and responded really fast to all questions and concerns The bathroom could have had a bidet. Microwaveable plates could have been provided. Body wash, shampoo and conditioner needed to be labeled

• 祐美 (9/5): -
• Irene (7/5): - Habitación limpi y amplia para lo habitual en Japón, cama cómoda. Buena ubicación cerca del metro
• Maria (9/5): Nice, quiet spot for a relaxing holiday - I like that it was in a quiet neighbourhood and that the train station were close enough (5-ish minutes walk). There's a shrine nearby too. The bedroom was big enough for us too. Enough space to move around. Non-washlet toilet 😞
• Rachel (9/5): Excellent! - Had everything we needed. A dryer would have been useful
• Michael (8/5): -
• Léolio (8/5): -
• Eden (10/5): - The staff are amazing people very sweet and helpful the rooms were very nice and i loved the food lounge
• Sandra (9/5): Genial - Las camas eran muy cómodas, había lavadora y lo mejor es que el apartamento estaba bien equipado. Había gel, champú, acondicionador, detergente para la lavadora y suavizante, gel de manos, bolsas de basura, platos, vasos, cubiertos… Los espacios son muy reducidos pero creo que en Tokio siempre es así.
• Oraison (10/5): -
• Justin Robert (8/5): Great place to stay for a Family Tokyo experience - The apartment is a good size for a family of 4 and has excellent facilities for a 4-5 day stay. Easy check in method and close to station, supermarket. Could have been cleaner and better maintained. Several lights didn't work and balcony was inaccessible.
• Nao (4/5): I don’t recommend - There is a laundry machine! It was 15minutes walk from Waseda station but with heavy suitcases, it wasn’t the easiest access. The room is ok, but it was very very humid inside… The bathroom wasn’t very clean, the mirror was dirty I couldn’t use it, the toilet is normal toilet.
• Pitel (7/5): - Great location and great value for money. Had decent facilities and beds. It felt a bit crammed and limited either movement space
• Djomins (8/5): - Not much space
• Léo (10/5): -
• Márquez Torres (10/5): - La cercanía con el metro y la estancia es acogedora
• Sabrina (4/5): Pessimo - Poco o nulla Premesso che all’ora del check-in previsto alle ore 16:00 non era ancora arrivato nessun messaggio per poter accedere alla struttura. Per altro scomoda da raggiungere, in più al 3 piano senza ascensore e con pochi servizi vicini. Dopo aver telefonato ed essere riusciti a farci capire in inglese, ci hanno indicato come accedere… L’alloggio era sporco, ancora con lenzuola, asciugamani e immondizia dei precedenti ospiti. Abbiamo telefonato almeno 4/5 volte, non capivano l’inglese e ci dicevano di scrivere su Booking. Per farla breve alle 19:00 è arrivata una signorina a pulire alle 20:15 siamo riusciti ad entrare. L’appartamento di per sé piccolo e nel bagno una vasca/doccia/lavandino tutt’uno…
• 千代子 (6/5): 場所がわかりにくかった - 寒かった
• Julia (8/5): Bon séjour je recommande - confortable, bien situé, bien équipé, spacieux
• Timothy (3/5): Not for us ,only stayed one night, would be more suitable for young students - Bathroom was to small and not suitable for our age group,
• Alma (10/5): -
• SK (7/5): - Clean, decently equipped if you want to use the kitchenette. Having a washing machine in the apartment was also great. Though it is managed by a hotel company, this definitely would fall under a BnB type situation. The apartment is in a residential building (this is however made clear by the name, so that's on me for not paying attention). No proper place for hanging up coats/jackets inside, though laundry can be hung up on the balcony. The photos here give the illusion of more space, but the room was small, with little space for two large suitcases (standard for Tokyo though).

• 忠津 (8/5): - 部屋がキレイでした ドライヤーが温風が出なくて寒くなった
• Francesco (9/5): Accogliente e pulita - Pulita, accogliente e in un ottima posizione per spostarsi verso il centro Un po’ piccolina
• MIREIA (1/5): Fatal. Camas y duchas incomodísimas. No estaba bien cuidado y, debido a un mal entendido, los propietarios han tocado nu - Nada Era incómodo, las instalaciones estaban muy mal cuidadas y estaba sucio. Además, por un malentendido los propietarios del alojamiento han tocado sin nuestro consentimiento nuestras pertenencias. Nos ha sentado fatal la manera de reaccionar que han tenido.
• Inmaculada (3/5): - It was well located , metro nearby and had a private bathroom. From the first day, the toilet didn't work, and we had to go to the subway or cafes if we needed to use it. It's true that we never told the hotel staff to fix it, and I'm sure they would have resolved the issue. We decided against it because we didn't want it to disrupt our time in Tokyo in case we had to be in the room while they fixed it. But I think it would have been good if they checked that everything was working before a new guest arrived. Not having a toilet made our stay difficult. Also, the hotel wasn't quite like the pictures. In the photos, everything looks newer. And sleeping was quite uncomfortable. We were two slim girls sleeping in the bed, and the duvet was much too small for us. Almost half our bodies were hanging off the duvet; I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be for two larger people to sleep in there.
• Nikola (9/5): -
• Chayarat (4/5): - the cleaner was pretty rude
• Diana (6/5): - Price fast check-in, staff Smell, humidity, old house, spring matress, felt less secure, is not as spacious and white looking as in the pictures.
• Lena (6/5): Für 1-2 Nächte okay, für längere Aufenthalte zu klein und etwas unbequem. - Gute Kommunikation mit einfachen Check-In, ruhige Gegend, kein Straßenlärm hörbar Winziges Bad + Zimmer, sehr spärliche Küchenausstattung, die teilweise etwas dreckig war. Etwas abseits vom Geschehen, wenige Restaurants und Bars in der Nähe

• Marno (6/5): - - Es war sehr sauber - Ruhige Lage - Sehr gute Kommunikation mit dem Host - Sehr günstig für Tokyo, deshalb waren wir auch insgesamt trotzdem zufrieden. - Balkon mit Wäscheständer - Als wir in das Zimmer eingecheckt haben, war die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Zimmer sehr hoch und es roch leicht modrig (bedingt durch hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit) - Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ging mit der Zeit weg als die Lüftung im Bad Tag und Nacht lief. Der Geruch wurde besser, aber blieb. - Es war nachts sehr kalt und wenn man mit der Klimaanlage geheizt hat, hat das nur bedingt geholfen. Ich vermute es ist nicht gut isoliert. - Nur 2 Handtücher pro Person für 5 Nächte und kein Duschvorleger. Wir haben ein Händehandtuch dafür geopfert. - Es wäre schön, wenn es ein paar Haken gäbe z.b. im Eingangsbereich für Jacken und im Bad für Handtücher.
• Fang (7/5): -
• MING MEI (5/5): - Comfy dining area Small bathroom with very small mirror
• Josune (4/5): - Ubicación Las camas incómodas. El piso está basta
• Jean Luc (8/5): -
• Carlos (9/5): -
• Karen (9/5): CONVENIENT - Location was pretty convenient, we had a 7 eleven, Lawson and Family Mart near the place so we could buy anything we needed. Also eventhoug the place is small, it was more than enough for a friend and I + 2 25 cm luggage. I think other reviews are pretty rude about the space, at least we didn't suffer at all and we spend 4 nights. The photos we're accurate related to reality too. We also found anything we need, like iron, cups, etc... Staff were fast and responsive. They told me they work as an Hotel, but I think is more like Airbnb dynamic because they don't clean nor change your towels everyday as formal hotels do.
• Piotr (8/5): - -Apartament jest duży w porównaniu z innymi pokojami w Tokio w tej półce cenowej -Apartament posiada pralkę, lodówkę, łazienkę, telewizor, balkon i sprawne wi-fi -Apartament jest czysty, a pościel świeża -Spokojna okolica, daleko od zgiełku bardziej zatłoczonych dzielnic -Lokalizacja- najbardziej popularnie miejsca w Tokio (okolice Shinjuku station, Shibuya, Akiba, Ginza, itd.) są dosyć daleko. Trzeba dojść pieszo do stacji metra i jechać z przesiadką, albo szykować się na dłuższy spacer. -Pokój na zdjęciach na booking i pokój który otrzymaliśmy to dwa rózne pokoje- nie zgadzało się umiejscowienie szafy, telewizora itd. Pokój na zdjęciu jest jaśniejszy, niż w rzeczywistości
• Wendy (2/5): Very disappointing, misleading and not what I expect from booking.com - We didn’t like the shabbiness of the room and we couldn’t shower or bathe because the taps didn’t work in the bathroom. The extra 7000 yen for cleaning was excessive and almost doubled the cost of the room and did not show up until we had booked and paid for the room. Not acceptable. Total upgrade of the apartment especially the bathroom is needed. Booking.com should add the cleaning cost before we paid so that we could find something else. See above for other problems although I have not described all. Too expensive for what was offered.
• Siran (8/5): - nice laundry machine and big enough tub nothing but one that there is no space to put our private stuffs like facial cleanser and body washer.
• David (3/5): Late checkout bad experience - The location First, pictures are better than the reality. Second, I thought we had one hour compliment so I admit I misread the checkout info. The housekeeper was cleaning all the apartments and she didn’t have to wait for us. I kindly asked for late checkout but it was denied, instead we needed to pay 2000jpy in person and rush to leave the space. I could have just quiet and leave the place at anytime but because I admitted my mistake I got charged. There was no flexibility from the housekeeper neither the owner. I own a booking room and always give free late checkout if the housekeeper isn’t busy. I don’t give a 0 because the communication was respectful and I do respect their work.
