A modern hotel with a beautiful view! The hotel is tucked away from the bustle of Shinjuku nightlife so you'll get a nice rest, but not too far if you wanted to join in the fun. Staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was clean. There's a bar and restaurant on the upper floors that have an amazing view of Tokyo; I recommend visiting. The breakfast buffet that I paid separately for was delicious; they had a mix of Western and traditional Japanese breakfast cuisine so it was fun to try everything. Dining with the view was also a great easy to start the day. A small cafe is also on the first floor if you want coffee and sweets later. Thanks for having us!

Good hotel, fairly clean and can’t complain about the service. The only real downside to this hotel is the fact that it’s located amongst all the love hotels and a somewhat unsafe part of Tokyo

Staff at desk was friendly and helpful, however, when we had our room cleaned a few 500 yen coins that we set aside for doing laundry were taken from our desk while we were out. There are rats in the bushes outside the property door. Hotel is in Kabukicho area (red light district) which has some shady characteristics associated with the area so be mindful if you’re bringing children or do not want to be exposed to those things. The refrigerator didn’t get cold so we couldnt store food. They only provide little packets of shampoo and conditioner good for one day unless you request more for every night. Far walk from subway stations or use taxis. Lobby staff was very welcoming and helpful with luggage transfer service.

Great location not too too close to the bar area. The location itself is safe. Close to convenience store like Lawson or 711. Restaurants are also close if you walk a couple blocks. Trains are also walkable to the hotel. Clean hotel, rooms are expected- small but enough room for two people, 2 medium and 1 large luggage if you book the economy room. There is also a coffee shop and restaurant in the hotel. English speaking staff available. Overall, felt safe, convenient, will definitely stay again!

You can’t beat the location if you’re there for night life and bar hopping around Shinjuku. The room was on the small side but not as bad as other hotels. There were some streets around with bars I wouldn’t consider “family friendly” so keep that in mind. But the location still makes this place worth it. No more than a 10 minute walk to anywhere around Shinjuku. Excellent dining, shopping, and entertainment everywhere!

Easy to get around Tokyo once you know the bus routes. You get what you pay for so do not expect a large room or the nicest rooms. It’s good enough for long trips for people on a budget.
