I stayed here twice, in March and then April 2012 for about 4 days. The first time in March, I booked a single non-smoking room. The second time, I booked the deluxe single non-smoking room. HOTEL ROOMS: The hotel rooms are very small so I think that they work better for small-ish people (I'm 5'2", 55 kg). It really doesn't... More

Excellent location but despite the renovations, this is still a basic but clean hotel in the shopping mecca of Shinjuku. OK for its price but have stayed in better hotels in this area. Go to the Citadines Shinjuku instead. More

Stayed here for 1 night stopover for when we were travelling between Sapporo & Hakone. This hotel is located about 15mins walk from Shinjuku JR station, the hotel is located on a quiet street far from the hustle and bustle of Ikebukuro. The room was actually very small to our surprise, had you put your suitcase by the corridor of... More

Small and very clean boutique hotel with a pretty decent Free continental breakfast every morning. English is not happening with the staff for the most part but they will work with you to understand your request, very friendly despite my lack of Japanese. Expensive ride from the airport (300 usd or more) like all hotels in Japan, If traveling with... More

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
