We found this hotel nicely tucked away in Shunjuku (by the way, walk to the back alley area and check out the Hosts Bar and their big dogs). There is a quaint little Kushiyaki restaurant tucked away nearby (sorry but can't for the life of me remember the location) which serves excellent Kushiyaki - note, you can't just go in... More

Okay - there's no getting away from the fact that the rooms in this hotel are smallish, but it IS Tokyo and let's face it - you're going to sleeping in it - not throwing dinner parties! The house-keeping was excellent - room was always cleaned to a high standard. And none of that "Oh - you were still in... More

This was our first trip to Tokyo, so it's hard to compare this place against any other in Tokyo. YES the rooms are small, and the definitely of 'double' bed is not the same as it is in Europe. It doesn't help that the photos on their website seem to make this look much more sophisticated than the reality. But... More

The hotel offers small but tidy and really comfortable rooms. The beds are soft and the sheets are of great quality. The WC are super small, but functional and clean. The location is just perfect, really close to everything you want to see (the subway is so convenient, when you've figured out how it works...), but still in a calm... More

Stayed here two nights while in Tokyo. Staff was very helpful and spoke pretty good English. Adjacent restaurant, but plenty more in the area. Only a few blocks from Shinjuku station made this place a great location, but without the price of downtown. Free computer to use in the lobby and breakfast (breads, juice, and coffee) served every morning. Rooms... More

We stayed here the DAY after the 9.0 earthquake. We arrived in Shinjuku after an epicly long commute from Auckland, with a delayed 9 hour stopover in KL, and catching a myriad of trains to get there due to the partial JR closure. Anyway, we heeded advice of this site in that its not THAT easy to find, but if... More

We stayed at this hotel 3 times on our recent trip to Tokyo. Once on arrival, once after snowboarding & lastly on our return from Kyoto. On each occasion we received great service from this small but perfectly located hotel. A special thank you to the hotel staff for taking extra time to assist us during the recent earthquake. Your...

This was a great base for me as a solo traveller for a few nights in Tokyo. The price is quite reasonable given the location. The single rooms are very small, but that is standard for Japan. A basic continental breakfast is available downstairs. You can save a small amount of money by opting for an "eco-stay" where your towels... More

This hotel is wonderful in relation to price, location, cleanliness and great staff however they need to install thicker doors in their rooms. I was constantly woken up by people out in the hall ways talking really loudly or closing their doors. The rooms are SMALL. Only book the single room if you are in fact single and have very... More

Location was hard to find because directions on other sites were so vague. It's a great location to the metro line. It's at the Shinjuku-Sanchrome station. From the Shinjuku Station underground, just follow the light green C line to exit C8. You'll come out next to the BYGS department store, take a sharp left turn. There is a Dominique Saibon... More
