We had a hard time looking for front desk and taxi couldn't enter alley way to hotel. It was a convenient area to catch trains. It is not suitable for kids and families except for overnight stay to transit. We stayed 5 nights and didn't get a room service after 4th day.

So the room was fine. But the front door was broken so they were opening it with a clamp, clearly dont do maintenence. Having the rooms on a different street to the entrance was annoying.

Was tidy and large enough for us, very convenient location for public transport and local restaurants. I was grateful that they took a booking last minute, but was taken by surprise when they asked for a 10000 yen cash deposit on arrival as this was not made clear to us when booking, so none of us had cash and I had to give them my passport instead.

The hotel itself was very nice and clean, but the surrounding alleyway was dirty with trash. The service was very nice but we had to walk around the block to get our key before walking back to the actual hotel, which has no front desk. The room itself was small and comfortable with plenty of great amenities.

This place is not a regular hotel setup. It’s more like a small Japanese apartment situation. Small clean room in a quiet little side street neighborhood. Tons of restaurants and entertainment 1block away. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Will not stay again
The location of this hotel is pretty good, and that is the olny good thing I can say about this place. You have to check in and then walk a around the building to get to your rooms. The path to your room is like a garbage dump. The AC in our room wasn't working. We had to talk to the clerk multiple times before they are willing to check the AC for us.

Misleading…
As an apartment, we were comfortable, really appreciated having two showers, two toilets, two sinks as we’re a family of four. However, the photos and description provided by the hotel are misleading. One of the pictures shows a hotel tower… the description says the hotel is ‘connected’ to the train station. Neither is true. The ‘hotel’ is a small group of repurposed apartments. The apartments are clean and of good size. Things are in good condition. What is a bit shocking and unexpected is getting to an old small back street, having to go to their other ‘hotel’ to get checked in, having to leave an ID or a 10,000 yen deposit, etc, etc. If they were honest about what the property actually is I think the apartments would be well appreciated.

The space is enough for 2 persons. Very comfortable and the room has everything that we need. When we came in it was spotless clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again and recommend to friends. It is just minutes of walk to 2 train stations and very near to shopping centers, 7-eleven and restaurants. One thing that we didn’t like is that they don’t change bed covers and sheets. And the dusts that we left were still there even if they have cleaned the room. But aside from that, we really had a good stay.

Sensational. Almost brand new property - it's still a building site on Google Maps. We booked the family room which was incredibly spacious and provided 2 bathrooms for the 4 of us staying there. Great central location to Shinjuku and a short walk from Shin-Okubu train station. Lots of restaurants close by. Kids loved the loft beds. Staff were very helpful, stored our bags when we arrived early, spoke great english and even provided umbrellas when it started raining. The room was very clean and the provided house slippers kept it that way. 5 stars !!!!
