It was perfect, I like the way that I can enjoy my room.

Luong Japan

The room was so clean and warm, just like at home! The staff was very friendly and gentle, and the security is good. The location is also very nice and close to the center, still it’s quiet area that good for a stay! The price is cheap considering to the cleanliness and facilities!

Tran Japan

The staff are extremely nice and helpful. The free wifi was super fast. I really liked my stay, thank you!

Jonathan United States of America

Great location and great price! Rooms are tiny, but this is Tokyo so I doubt it would be different anywhere for a similar price range. If you catch the correct exit, it's less than a minute walk from Higashi-shinjuku subway station. Staff was great and even lent me a small luggage scale before I was leaving for the airport. I also liked the fact that it is a small house, instead of a big hotel tower with hundreds of rooms.

Daniel Germany

After a long day of traveling, the friendly and welcoming staff allowed us to check in early, as the room was already prepared. Local food suggestions were provided, and the bed was very comfortable. Room was expectedly compact, but very clean, so no issues there. Short walk to the Shinjuku shops & restaurants. I would easily rate it a 10 if there was a bidet, and more places to hang items.

Eric Denmark

Was easy to check in. Was easy to communicate with the hotel before during and after our stay.

Ian United States of America

V clean with a kettle and microwave.....attentive staff.

Ash United Kingdom

The room was exceptional, clean and the bathroom was somewhat amazing. I liked the location it was central and easy to commute between the train station and taxis.

Vincent Papua New Guinea

The room was bigger than expected, and had a loft for the bed, which made it wide on the lower level. For a Japanese establishment the bed was very comfortable as well as the pillows (often harder than I like). It's located in a very quiet backstreet, so the stay was nice. I liked having a private bathroom. For the price, size and location, this would be hard to beat.

Dahlia Japan

perfect size, it has everything you need, nice location, quiet area but very near Shinjuku centre. Helpful staff.
