"The hotel location is very convenient to public transportation and access to the lively Shinjuku area. The rooms, like most in Japan, are very small, maybe 15x12. The bathroom does have a full tub/shower and the entire room was very clean."

10/10 Excellent
"Great breakfast.The front counter staff was very helpful. There was a young kid with medium a little longer hair and an middle aged gentleman that was tall with medium length hair , that was extremely helpful. The Barbershop on the 2nd floor of the complex is very good.I became friends with them and I visited the grocery store every day and there is a laundry Mat nearby.I had everything I needed , and then I went to Rojins for whiskey and Quattro public bar for company when visited two coffee shops daily. I will come and visit again.I stayed for 3 weeks for a reason. Keep up the good job. I changed rooms three times just to get different views from the building"
