Clean and compact place to stay!
Me and a friend stayed for a week and it was great. It is right in front of a station that is a couple stations away from places like ikebukuro and shinjuku. The place was clean and pleasant throughout.

This hotel is across from a Mcdonalds, and very close to the Fukutoshin metro line. Great if you want a late night snack, and travel to Shibuya and Ikebukuro is very easy. The hotel room is clean and has everything you need, although it may be feel very small for some foreigner guests. Staff was welcoming and were able to help in English. Check out is at 10am, which I thought was a bit early and inconvenient. You can pay 2000 jpy to extend by one hour and check out at 11am. I thought this was expensive, and not very customer friendly. Otherwise it was a comfortable stay.

There is only one elevator no option for stairs. The breakfast is not great and the room cleaning was not the best. I would not recommend staying here.

The room is small. But they had two free bottle of water. That was nice!
We liked the breakfast buffet. Traditional Japanese style and some bread too.
