    Cleanliness was not great. Not horrible, but not great. The room description says A/c and heating but was actually only heating.

    The location is good but can be a little noisy at night.

    Shinjuku station

    I am used to APA and Japan, if you can except the small rooms you'll be fine. The staff are beautiful people and the service is fantastic, Beware that Kabukicho is in the red light district, it is very safe though I don't recommend young kids.

    Too Expensive for a match box stay.

    The rooms were too small for my likely. My wife and I had a tough time staying in such a small space. The bathroom was so tiny that when one person was using it we had to leave the door open. The AC was not working during this time as it was the end of winter so the heaters were still on, hated that part as it got pretty hot in the night. The windows open 2 inches so that did not help either. Can't imagine paying this much for what we got. I understand that Japan over all is expensive but this did not seem value for the spend. Just off the red light area but that did not bother us much.

    The location was perfect. Heart of shopping, sightseeing and the train stations. A lot of food options close by.

    Excellent location! This hotel is a short walk to the Shinjuku station and many many restaurants and bars within a 5-min walk. The room was very clean and cozy, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

    10/10 - good location. So close to everything. Helpful and kind staff. The Indian restaurant downstairs was really good for dinner. It was clean. A bit small but has space under the bed which is good. We stayed here for 7 nights and were happy and comfortable the whole time. Good value.

    The sheets and comforter had a lot of remnants of stains that were not washed out. There was also hair on the towels that were in the room when I first got there. Walls were also stained, which was exacerbated because they were the kind of paper/fabric walls and it was a small room. Corners and spaces like near/under the mini fridge also had mysterious debris or dust that I really didn't want to get near. There wasn't any noticeable garbage or things left, but the random stains and small debris made me basically not want to touch anything in this room. I went and got a sleeping bag because I was afraid of touching the sheets/comforter/bed. The sheets are also very thin so very little protection against the mattress. I'm pretty sure the dust cover (running across the bottom of the bed) has never been washed. Curtains also seemed unwashed for a while. Even if I asked for new sheets, I was afraid that they just haven't replaced their bedding for a while, so they'd be in the same stained conditions. It's also across from/surrounded by host clubs that play advertisement music at all hours of the day... so you might hear the music all the time depending on where your room is.

    Location is convenient (as long as you're ok being in Kabukicho) and staff was friendly.

    I appreciated being able to leave my luggage there before I checked in, and also after I checked out. The beds were fantastic and the restaurant downstairs was amazing!

    The cleaning ladies harass you to clean the room. No matter how many times you refuse the service they’re still gonna knock at your door multiple times and for several minutes. The massage service offer by hotel is quite good. Too bad that the operator has a discriminatory attitude towards foreigners. They automatically assume you are seeking for sexual services just because you are not Japanese. They even ask you whether you drank alcohol or not (?!) and other inappropriate questions. The room and bathroom is super tiny

    Staff weren't friendly nor helpful, they speak limited English. When we requested them to clean our rooms, they were saying it's not the time yet even though it's the 3rd day (which it's stated in their policy they would change the bedsheets on the 3rd day of the stay). Very tiny room and an extremely small bathroom you can barely walk in the room with luggages. Bed was very uncomfortable and unbalanced. It takes 8-10mins for the kettle to boil. Freezer in the fridge didn't work and our stuff got melted. Only one small lift (3 people with luggages max) and it takes ages for it to come down/ going up.

    Location is good
