Beautiful aesthetics and very traditional Ryokan. As soon as you step your foot in they will make you feel very special. Property is very well kept as it was clean and remodeled. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Private hot bath was also a very nice experience and the Japanese breakfast was beautiful and tasty. 5/5 highly recommended.

The rooftop Onsen was the perfect way to end my stay in Tokyo. Rooms are small but clean, and the bed was comfortable. Was glad to see they had water stations on multiple floors. It is a short walk away from the most lively part of shinjuku, which made it feel a little more relaxing. About a 10 minute walk from the nearest subway line, and about 17 minutes from Shinjuku Station.

As soon as you walk in, you begin to feel relaxed, which I’ve loved! It’s very neat and tidy, decorated in a minimalistic way, yet every amenity that you might think of is available to you, onsen is located on the 18th floor and has great view over Tokyo they allow you to use it even if you’ve got tattoos. The only downside was that the mixture of small room size, low ceiling and the walls/ceiling colour choice can actually make you feel claustrophobic…and the breakfast was not very tasty😬 besides that, I was very happy! I could,even say ‘impressed’

A walkable distance to subway lines and the Shinjuku business area. There are several convenience stores around. All the staff we met are very friendly. We especially enjoy the hot spring on the top floor. It's a satisfying experience staying here.

On the edge of Shinjuku busy area. Good thing about this is it is quiet compares to the crowds and unsafe in Shinjuku 歌舞伎町 area. Then a little walk from the train / subway stations about 15 mins is needed everyday. I would still count it convenient. 7-11 and Family Mart just across from the facility. And 5mins walk, there is a York food supermarket, price is good. Hotel is very welcome and comfortable. Onsen at the top floor that I used every morning. Hotel staffs are super helpful and polite, this includes the front desk and cleaning staff. Definitely will stay again.

Good stay with 1-2 exception
Very nice place, affordable price, decent location, smelled a great, washer and dryer were great, room was small but I knew that going in and wasn’t too bad if u organize ur stuff. My only faults were the elevator took forever especially during check out and as a foreigner with tattoos I picked this hotel cuz it had an osen. I figured a hotel would be cool with that since they deal with foreigners 24-7 but nope couldn’t use osen because of my tattoo and I have bigs too hard to cover up.

The hotel is pretty but we found it to be too crowded to enjoy some of the offered amenities. The on-site onsen is a lovely though but it is a revolving door of guests coming in and out and it felt like the facilities were sort of dirty. Our room was not bad but we found it to be quite small for two people and there was not really anywhere to store or put our clothes. The positive of this hotel is the lovely staff who was helpful and kind the entire time. Also the morning breakfast is pleasant.

As many reviewers mentioned, this hotel is located about 10 minutes away from the closest metro stop (Marunouchi Line - M10 (Shinjuku Gyoemmae)). The metro stop is small, but accessible to a number of tourist attractions. The hotel is also about a 15 minute walk to the heart of Shinjuku. We loved our stay here; the onsen was a highlight after walking nearly 8-10 miles a day. We could relax, take a nice warm bath, and decompress from the tourist activities we had done that day. Additionally, as many people mentioned too, the hotel is right across from 7-11, making it very easy to grab a quick bite to eat. Highly recommend doing the traditional Japanese breakfast at least ONCE during your stay at the hotel. It's beautifully presented and filling, but is just more costly than picking up a quick onigiri or sandwich from the 7-11. There are laundry and water facilities on floors 5, 10 and 15. The onsen is located on floor 18, I believe. Our only complaint was that the rooms are just slightly tight. We had 2 adults, and one child, in a queen/king size bed futon, and we were hopping over our luggage and other things. It wasn't horribly inconvenient, but it was snug compared to other hotels we stayed at in Japan. Overall, though, we enjoyed our stay here. My 8-yo daughter said it was "the best hotel we stayed at during our trip" so overall, we were pleased with the accommodation and overall ease of the hotel location and facilities. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay!

Really lovely hotel, beautiful and serene. About 8 minute walk to the subway and 10 minute walk to cool nighttime hangouts. Not large but very comfortable and felt luxurious. The rooftop onsen was absolutely perfect in the evening and it was a spa-like vibe.
