7.9Verified guest“The room was small but neat, and I managed to fit two large suitcases without any trouble. The location was ideal—away from the nightlife noise yet close to everything. The team was very friendly, and check-in was straightforward. I would happily stay again.”
7.9Verified guest“The location was excellent, just a pleasant walk from Omoide Yokocho night market.”
7.9Verified guest“I had a single room with standard bathroom amenities. The location was great and unbeatable—close to the centre of Shinjuku, a coffee shop, a subway station, a pharmacy, a 7-Eleven, restaurants, and bars. Also close to everything Shinjuku has to offer.”
7.9Verified guest“A nice, compact, and excellent hotel in a lively area, really close to the popular Shinjuku area with many restaurants, bars, the station, a restaurant, and a supermarket. The building is new, and the rooms are incredibly comfortable and perfect, even with our suitcases. Great location in town, within walking distance of tourist attractions—and again, a walk to the Samurai Museum.”
7.9Verified guest“The position was marvellous and strategic, with cafeterias and bars close to the hotel.”
7.9Verified guest“The staff gave really good service, helping me with my luggage. The room was spotless and well-stocked with all the necessary toiletries. I also appreciated the convenient location, just a short walk from popular spots. I didn't try the attached ramen shop, but I heard great things about it from other guests.”
