The staff was very nice.
The hotel told us they only have 5 parking spots that need to be reserved in advance, which we didn’t know about until check in. We were only able to reserve a parking spot for our second night for approximately ¥2000.

The staff was nice and I found it very cozy and warm. The smoking throughout the building wasn’t terrible but definetly noticeable. Lastly the rooms were clean, but under the bed and behind various furniture you could tell it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Overall, I’m nitpicking, but I had a great time and everything went smoothly. Staff was very accommodating as well.

I was very impressed with the quality for the price. It’s a great location to get to wherever you want to go. I was surprised with the size of our room. It was “big” for Japanese standards with a nice view. I’d for sure stay at this hotel again for future trips.

The staff was very helpful and kind. We accidentally booked a “smoking” room so I cannot fault them for that, but the hotel room floor felt dirty and areas of the carpet were torn. The room was spacious. The location was perfect and walking distance to many of the “must do” spots in shinjuku. Would stay again but in a “non smoking” room.

Good hotel with friendly staff. Bed and room were a good size. Property was clean, only downside was some mold in the bathroom since there was no air circulation. Free amenities like wifi and towels as needed.

The hotel was pretty basic. Aside from it being pretty dates (from the 90s) it was fine. I like the option not to have daily room service.

I like the location. 8 minutes walk from Shinjuku station and very close to Kabukicho. The room feels a bit old. The ceiling light was a bit hard to adjust, and there’s no room services (guests have to grab new towel themselves). So overall, great location, average room.

The location is great for those who enjoy a night out, a very short 2 minute stroll to Golden Gai, a beautiful vintage market on Sunday at the Shrine across the road and many convenience stores and Daiso in the area. Our room was large and had decent sound proofing. Unfortunately the room is in dire need of a remodel, the carpet tiles were lifted with big sticky glue patches and mould in the bathroom. They let us store our bags before checkin and afterwards which we greatly appreciated.

This is as a great place to stay for our first trip to Japan. A proper 3 star hotel with all needed amenities and very professional and courteous staff. We liked that they had linen available in the lobby for us to grab as needed and umbrella’s available for when it rained. It was also close to an Anytime Fitness, so be sure to bring your fob if you are a member. The only challenge was the room was very small, but we got used to it and made it work. Small rooms are the norm here but as an American, it was an adjustment. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a safe, quiet and comfortable stay in the Shinjuku area.

It's a fair walk from the station but right beside Golden Gai and Kabukicho and a 10 minute walk from the park. And there are plenty of affordable places to eat at nearby.
The rooms are quite depressing. The hotel is very scruffy with scuff marks on the walls everywhere. They have a "no cleaning" policy during stays, but I really wondered if they clean much between visits. The bed is also of low quality. (I stayed in 13 hotels this trip and about 47 if I count earlier trips.) So many hotels have air purifiers which I never use, but here I would have liked one because it is a smoking only hotel. Yes, all rooms are smoking rooms. Unfortunately, there was no air purifier. The breakfast was also very mediocre, but then again, it cost almost nothing.
Despite these misgivings, the location makes up for a lot and I would consider staying here again.
