to get started.

The staff was amazing! Loads of tips regarding the local area. The room was small (like every room in Japan!) but very nice. The place had a very nice feel and we loved staying there. There was a projector in our room so we could hook up our devices and watch TV! Loads of restaurants within walking distance, including the bustling centre of Shinjuku.

Laura, United Kingdom

Love that it is near to the Koreatown of Tokyo, awesome street food and cheaper drug store and convenience store stuff and Shinjuku is so within walking distance.

We had a great stay at Glou Hotel. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The bed was also comfortable, the location is excellent. Obvisouly the room was very small, but this is Tokyo so all rooms are small :)

Vanessa, Finland

Almost brand new, extremely clean, staff were delightful and happy to help. Not far from Shinjuku - 20 min walk

Chelle, Australia

The staff were amazing, nice tips, modern and all the facilities

João, Portugal

The receptionist was super friendly and very helpful.

Stacy, Taiwan

I really like the location of this little hotel. Although just a few minutes away from Kabuki-cho it is located in a very quiet area so it is quiet at night. The receptionists were great and really helpful. The rooms have everything you need, even a mini projector!

Alen, Slovenia

Staff was very helpful with great English. The room is nice with high ceiling. Less that 3 mins walk from station. Lots to eat around the hotel

Sam, Singapore

Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was very pokey, but we have come to expect this of bathrooms on Japan. Good value compared to other hotels in the area

Tracy, Canada

Good location. Friendly staff. Small confortable room.

Nothing, other than the petite-ness, but even this provided a charm in its own way.

“Fine affordable option in Shinjuku”
- • Leisure trip

Our room was next to the elevator and it was very loud. Not really pleasant in the morning when you are asleep and guests start the check-outs. From the photos I expected the room to be quite small but still didn't think that it would be THAT small. There is no room to even fully open the travel suitcase! If you are alone it should be ok, but we were two with two cases and it was quite tricky to even manoeuvre ourselves around corners. Like the room also the bathroom is tiny. For a few days it is ok but for longer stays I would not recommend it.

There is loft in my room. So the ladder to the loft was quite taking space in the room. Solo traveller (like me) might find uneasy with the dark loft above at night, especially when i found a single long hair on my bed.
