    Location wasn't so great, right in Kabukicho (we only found out after) which has it share of shady people. Small rooms. Check-in process is a pain, you have to stand in line. Luckily we got there early and only had to wait about 20 minutes.

    Overall good hotel. Located close to the subway. Cozy and clean rooms.

    Very very very small room. Good for one, not for 2. No place to put anything, even if you place luggage under the bed, it is not comfortable to take it out every time. Feels like a box. Pretty expensive too. Book in advance if you want it cheaper. Breakfast is crowded so you have to queue for it, but it is normal for Japan. No windows in the corridors so it is windy and cold once you step out of the room. 2 towers in the hotel. If you go to onsen you will have to walk in the street in a bath robe.

    Good service, amazing location, close to everything in Shinjuku area, onsen was nice. The hotel has all the amenities possible and even more. Bed was comfy too.

    The only downside is that the room was too small, but we kinda knew that already.

    The location is amazing. The facilities are great. The spa is super clean and nice, wish I had used it every night instead of just once. The checkin and checkout were easy, the hotel is exceptionally clean

    We did not feel like this hotel was a good value for the money. It was costly, and the room, while functional, was tiny. This hotel is only suitable for single travelers, couples, or friends who are very close.

    The location was great! We loved being within walking distance of the train and many restaurants, nightlife venues, and parks. We also appreciated how clean the hotel was, and even though the rooms were small, they were very functional.

    The pillows provided were the worst part of the stay by far. They're extremely firm making for some terrible sleep and painful mornings waking up with stiff neck. This was common across rooms as we had friends that stayed in the hotel too.

    Nice hotel at the back of Shinjuku. Location was great to get into town and to other parts of Tokyo.

    The rooms are very small, if open a suitcase that is the whole space used up but I still thought it was great value for money and you’re in the heart of Tokyo so it makes sense that it’s small.

    Great location, only 10 mins walk with suitcases from the station. And 2 mins away from all the lit streets with restaurants and bars. It was amazing that there was so much going on around the hotel but you heard nothing in your room.

    Room was pretty small. It didn't look so small in the pictures. So, it was difficult to manage suitcases in a small apace.

    Liked the location as it was very close to the hot areas of Shinjuku and it was always clean.

    Since it's right in Shinjuku near Golden Gai that also means it's very close to the red light district which is overun with scam artists and cons so unaware travels need to be careful. That also means the surrounding area is less clean than some may expect for Japan.

    The hotel was nice and modern, well connected to stations, and fairly easy to find. The rooms were quiet and decently laid out (what you would expect in Tokyo). The building also feels very secure with key card access being required at all steps of entry.
