It's in a great location close to the train station. It is situated in a quiet street but very accessible and close to major shopping areas. In general, staff was friendly and the breakfast was pretty good.

- Great location. Nearby Shinjuku; which has many shopping center, restaurant and easy to go to other attraction. - Breakfast is great ! - Our room is for 5 people, but we had only 4 people so the room isn't too small for us.

Wish there was a kitchen or hot plate where you pod of a like something. Wish there were bigger lockers. Understanding, there’s only so much space. It’s japan though... safe
Location is great for my needs and 3 subway lines run into Shinjuku 3-Chome, though red line is a bit further away. Staff is really friendly and super helpful! Breakfast is convenient til 10am for 620¥ w/ alll the tea, coffee and cereal your heart desires.

“was ok, but there are better places close by”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
- WLAN was crap. Don't know why it is rated so high - you only get a key to a small security locker, which wasn't even enough for my laptop. I asked them about it and was told that there is a different locker - one you have to pay for on a use-to-use basis. A reasonable sized locker in a dormroom is the bare minimum that a hostel has to offer - there is absolutely no noise insulation. Bathroom noises could be heard thru 2 closed doors. - the common area is crammen in between 4 bathroom doors - not in the least bit welcoming - bed was pretty hard
- good place in the city; it's fast to go to attractions - personell is friendly - it's very clean - relatively cheap, but there are others places close by for the same price - breakfast was good but there is no choice, so it is the exact same thing every day

“Decent hostel”
- • Leisure trip

Hotel bedroom decor needs an upgrade, bedrooms look a bit scruffy. The layout wasnt the most helpful. Fridge on top floor, cafe on bottom floor, common area on your room floor. The bedrooms are keypad operated which can get annoying. I'd prefer a key card. Hostel is only cleaned once a day I think, so bathrooms/toilets get dirty as soon as a few people have used them. I think there should be periodical spot checks throughout the day. Beds not comfortable, mattresses are too thin so u can feel bed base. My hips were sore after the second night as I sleep on my side. You have to put you're own bed sheet on the mattress and as it's a flat sheet, it always moves around as you sleep, no matter how well you tuck it in.
Breakfast was excellent. Panini with perfect potato wedges. Staff friendly and helpful. 24 hour check and reception is useful. Showers are hot and powerful. Location isn't bad, 10-15 minutes from Shinjuku main station, depending on what exit you come out off. Right by the nightlife area but it's still quiet.

“Fair Facilities but Perfect Location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
Rooms are quite small with limited space for languages when compared with Imano Ginza. No USB charger inside the bunk (and no space for placing personal belongings for 6 bunks rooms). Room for improvement on cleaningness, but it may also account to reckless Westerner staying in the hostel during my stay. Although there are common area on each floor, fridges are only available at some of the floors.
Location wise is perfect, within 10 minutes walk distance of JR Shinjuku Station, even shorter for Tokyo Metro Shinjuku Sanchome Station. Staff are nice and helpful. Common area on each floor.

“Second time staying at this hostel mainly because of its location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 4 nights
Around 11am the cleaning team clean all rooms on the floor I was staying and one lady was like a steam-roller, straight to business and didn't really like anyone in her way (was my impression). Saw that someone had vomited in the sink on one of the nights, not a good sight! It was cleaned by the time I used the toilet the next morning. Sometimes no seating in the cafe / reception. Keying in the code for the room door is a little annoying and load.
Very practical hostel. Good friendly atmosphere although generally quiet. Most of the guests keep themselves to themselves so not a social spot and that was fine with me. Probably the best shower of any hostel I've stayed! Heated toilet seats. They let you take an umbrella when it's raining which was great. Helpful staff, luggage store at checkout.
