Fire escape door handle broken. We were there during the earthquake in January 2024- no way to walk down to the street level. That’s very dangerous.

The hotel was great. Be sure to pay attention to what type of hotel you're booking when it comes to smoking vs non-smoking. The room was clean, the location was great as it was about a 15 minute walk to Shinjuku Station, and there were plenty of eateries and pubs in walking distance. One aspect of the hotel that I really appreciated was how it was connected to a 7-eleven. Very convenient, and will consider staying again.

It was very convenient to be in the middle of everything. Cleanliness was not an issue: my only complaint was that my room was so small.

Economical accommodation in a central location. This is a party area with lots of clubs and adult entertainment, but we stayed there with kids without feeling uncomfortable. This considered, it was surprisingly quiet in the rooms (we were on the top floor so maybe that helped). There were 4 of us in a room with two double beds. It was tight but not unbearable. Room could definitely do with a deep clean though. Limited English at reception but check in was automated and very straight forward. Coin operated laundry facilities are available onsite which is always helpful. Very close to the Kabukicho airport limousine bus stop (at a larger hotel).

The property was as advertised - clean, with a wider-than-twin bed (possibly a full-size), although it would have been difficult with anything larger than a carryon-rollaway suitcase. Unlike other hotels in the area, there is no under-bed storage for your suitcase. The room has a decent microwave, water boiler, cube refrigerator, AC and a TV (which I didn't use). There were also slippers for the unit, although they were small for me (size 8.5) and were vinyl and not too comfortable. That said, I still used them since the carpet is dark and hard to tell how clean it was. The curtain is a blackout curtain; fully closed, you will block out pretty much all external light. This was super-effective for sleeping in. The bathroom was a little cramped - it felt like a cruise ship bathroom with the sink nearly over the toilet. The single shallow shelf is above the toilet, so I recommend keeping the toilet seat always closed lest you risk having stuff fall in. The shower was adequate, and the room came with a set of body soap / shampoo / conditioner. The one chief drawback of the place is that the walls are thin - soundproofing is minimal, especially from other units. I could feel the occasional bump (of someone hitting their own wall). Hallway noise is also noticeable when someone's walking by or when someone else is knocking on a door several units away. That said, for this price, this was a pretty good hotel for 1.

Terrible! There were drawings on the walls. The room reeked of cigarettes even though it was a nonsmoking room. Beds were disgusting and had marks on them.

One of the staff gave very good service, but for the most part the room wasn’t very clean. Wallpaper was tearing off and there was stuff on the walls. For the price, it wasn’t bad but I recommend finding another option.

The staff were very nice, and the room was good, as you expect in a very central location. The area around the hotel wasn't ideal for me, as it is the red light district. Good for my co traveller. Not bad compared to many others around the world. People are friendly enough if you are into that thing. Overall, the hotel and staff was nice, but being a bit more mature, I wouldn't stay in that area of Shinjuku.

the location is good and it is cheap, but it is not a clean place at all and not a very nice experience to stay here. The lobby and hall ways have a very strong bad smell - like ammonia. The bedrooms look OK at first, but the air conditioning and air filters haver not been cleaned, some rooms smell of stale smoke, and you see more stains and signs of dirt the more you look. I found a louse crawling on the wall in my room. I would not stay here again. There are plenty of other options in this area that are not that much more expensive. Worst hotel I have stayed in in Japan
