    Kabukicho is not a great area. A lot of garbage everywhere, porn shops and touristic traps. Though Shinjuku and golden gai is in walking distances. The onsen in the hotel does not accept tattoos.

    The facilities are great, clean and equipped rooms and an onsen (not accepting tattoos). No kitchen and no common lounge. A bit expensive but offers a great location with a walking distance from downtown Shinjuku.

    It's close enough to transport, but not too close... 10-15 minutes walk to the station. The neighborhood is a little bit dodgy, but ultimately safe.

    Amazing breakfast. Nice public onsen available to the guests. Great view of the city from room on the top floor. Modern room with bath tub. Great porn selection on the TV for free. Lost and found works: staff was able to retrieve my glasses I forgot in the room 2 days after checkout.

    We were assigned a room where the view from the window was directly into a wall - this caused a feeling of not having a window at all.

    Small, but well-equipped clean room. Good interesting breakfast. Good location directly in the Shinjuku area.

    Location is not near the station especially if you are taking JR lines. Probably 20 minutes walk from hotel. Room size is really small, no space for 2 big luggages to be fully opened and had to stored the luggages under the bed.

    Smooth check in process, there is a small onsen in the building as well.

    There's no real way to opt out of housekeeping, if you put the little sign up they give you a massive plastic bag full of things individually wrapped in plastic every day, not super eco friendly as a lot of that gets burnt in Tokyo. Would be fine with just fresh towels and sheets on request. Would be nice if there was a little luggage space, maybe a dresser instead of the desk or drawers under the bed, but 2 of us made it work. TV turns on automatically every time you enter the room with volume, even if you muted it last time you turned it off, but not a big deal.

    Absolutely great, good location, nice grand bath/public spa, room was clean (tiny but that's everywhere in Japan), staff was friendly and helpful. Shower was hot and really easy to get to the exact temp you want. Fun location if you're cool with everything that's going on in Kabukicho, otherwise there's another APA for the same price next to Gyoen park. Short walk to Golden Gai bars. Awesome to have all of the hotel info on the TV. Fast wifi with dedicated connection for each room.

    Breakfast was expensive (there were plenty of cheaper options around the hotel) and rooms were very small without a wardrobe or shelves to store clothes. Rooms are being cleaned on every third day of your stay. They are not flexible with late check-out.

    Value for money and good location. The hotel also had a public bath which was clean, nice and relaxing after a day in the city.

    Space was small but there was space under the bed to put your luggage. It won't fit more than 2 medium/large suitcases however.

    Staff were extremely helpful. Facilities were nice and amenities in the room were great! Location close to station and convenience store close by.

    The room wasn’t tidied up the next day, which is fine when you don’t stay for long. Instead they leave a plastic bag at the door for extra toiletries, coffee.

    Convenient! A few minutes walk to the station (Higashi-Shinjuku) and not far from all the small bars around. The bedroom was small but the bed was comfortable. Everything was fine except for the use of plastic.On the ++ side, it has an onsen too.
