I stayed there last February for my first time in Tokyo. I had a lot of trouble finding the hotel from the train station and even Japanese people had a hard time helping me, but at last a taxi driver was able to drive me there. The front desk guy who was there when I arrived was very nice and... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in a standard double room. Excellent location in busy Shinjuku area with lots of shopping, bars and restaurants to choose from. Wrecked from overnight travelling we got a taxi from the train station (cost around 1000 yen) but on the day we were leaving walked back to the station in about 15mins. Metro station is... More

I had 2 nights there before, it's located a bit far away from Shinjuku JR Station (15-20mins walk) and the hotel is not easy to find (I asked local police but almost no one knows about it). Metal room door is kind of annoying when someone is closing it nearby (noisy), the room is very small but I should expect... More

I had 2 nights in the Lonestar. It was very convenient to the subway, the shopping, and the nightlife of ni-chome. The room was tiny, but acceptable, and very clean. Free wi-fi in the lobby (and in your room, if they had a special wi-fi box available to lend -- all of them were lent out on my first night,... More

Small hotel with small rooms as expected, like all Japan hotel. Rooms are very very clean. Located near subway station which in actually a little far walk to the real trains (depends on what line you will be using) but at least you walk in a covered passage way. Very convenient and warm in cold and rainy fall season like... More

What I got: A small, clean single room. The bathroom is about as big as a closet. I asked for non-smoking but the room smelled of cigarette smoke, something a different reviewer noticed. In the room is a very mini fridge with two glasses for water, which can be had for free on the 4th floor. There's also some sort... More

A 3-star hotel in the great Shinjuku area of Tokyo. Small rooms of course but also very very clean. The neighborhood is a bit noise on the week-ends with loud talking and screaming on the street outside. I had some problems sleeping as this goes on all night!!! Only Jap channels on the TV. Nice and polite staff though!! Will... More

Our main hotel during our stay in Tokyo. We didn't know how to speak Japanese hence we got a police officer to bring us there :). If we had done out research and landmarks properly, looking for the hotel would have been easy. We stayed in a double standard room(no smoking). It was a simple room. The size is like... More

Good economy hotel. Small room with barely enough space for our luggage. The room was non-smoking but smelled like smoke anyway. The staff was really nice. I ended up losing my rental cell phone in the cab on the way there and they were super helpful with getting it back for us. They went out of their way to be... More
