The staff was great and helpful. The hotel is location in a great spot and close to everything (i.e train stations, nightlife, food, etc.)
Fantastic hotel. Great location. Great price. Friendly staff.
Yes its a bit tired and dated but its spotless and your room will be so much bigger than anything similar price wise in Tokyo. We had a room with a couch, double bed which lead onto a little hall area with Japanese toilet, sink area and full walk in shower with a bath tub to boot. Hotel provides all toiletries and was just fantastic. Good area min walk or so from Shinjuku station. Room are smoking but our room didn't smell at all. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very convenient and good value. The service at the front desk was excellent, even though we couldn't speak Japanese.
I think that this hotel room was perfect for my stay. I stayed one night by myself and it was great! It had everything I needed to sleep and shower comfortably. Also, it was very close to the main Shinjuku area which was convenient!

Great location and big room, the room itself was clean but the shower room had a fair amount of mold on the grout and on the ceiling. Definitely needs to be re-tiled but other than that it was good for the price

Awesome location with everything you need and easy access to Oedo and Fukutoshin lines. The property is dated, but the rooms are spacious with an excellent ofuro room separate from the main room. The toilet is also separate so good for travelling as a couple.

The location and the overall value for money was good. The room size exceeded our expectations. The hotel needs renovation, though.
Good place to stay.
Hotel has classic decoration, is clean, rooms are spacious, near from transport, restaurants, 7 eleven and bars at Shinjuku.
If you want a quiet place and save money this is a good place to stay. The only weird thing is that you have to leave the key every time you go out, but it is because rooms do not have technology to be opened by digital card.
Huge space - had a separate bathroom, separate toilet and then a bedroom with a living area next to it. Shower pressure was fantastic, check in & out was very simple, fantastic central location for a brilliant price

It was a simple hotel room in japanese style. The Area was very good there are a lot of shops and train/ bus stations around. The receptionist were very friendly but they didnt unterstand english so we communicated with translator apps on the mobile phone.

Staff were nice. The room I stood in had many problems. The toilet handle would flush but it was loose and not mounted correctly. The lav faucet leaked from each handle as well as the tub faucet. The hotel needs to be remodeled

Great location to experience nightlife in Kabukicho. Good access to convenient stores, restaurants, and major subway stations. This property is dated, but the room was not too small. The shower was separate from the main room which is great, and shower/bath was excellent.
Pros: the room was quite bigger than others we stayed at while we were traveling around Japan.
Cons: the room smelled a lot of cigarrettes, it looked a little dirty because of the carpet, the sofa also looked quite desgusting, and the bed was really uncomfortable. They need to change the mattress ASAP.

The facilities and conditions are very old and not very clean but the staff are very friendly.
This was our first trip to Tokyo, and we gave a lot of thought (and research!) about where to stay, and we’re so glad we picked this area (Kabukicho/Shinjuku). The prime location of this hotel beats everything else! The price is very decent considering where it is, plus it’s very roomy, and has its own fridge, and Japanese style bathroom, which we enjoyed. The staff is very courteous, and accommodating. We would definitely come
back again!

For the value for money, this place is excellent. It is quite close to Shinjuku station and to all the shops and amenities. As the other reviewers suggest yes it is old, but it is very clean. It is well run, and the rooms are very large for Japan, which was excellent for our last three nights, as we needed to have space to organize our purchases. I highly recommended place as excellent value for money. They also allowed us to store our luggage in preparation for our flight home.

It is a old building. So the hotel management try to compensate offering a very clean room.
Also, the room is relatively big and the bed is comfortable.
Although I think they do a good job on the cleaning up part you must remember that this is a old structure. Overall I think the hotel is a good deal. nice location, clean and a comfortable bed.

Clean but old hotel
Its a clean motel . The location is in kabukicho. Staff were polite and helpful . But the hotel goes back to 1980 i think . Some rooms are in Japanese traditional style. But the room was very clean . Its what you pay for .
It's ok, a good price and the location is great but the room was a little bit Oldscool. The carpet has seem better times in his life and the Toilet was flushing the whole time. Maybe I don't understand the system but in four days nobody cleaned the room, or asked me for cleaning. All on all I'm fine for the money I payed but it's not a Secret star recommendation
