In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Exceptional location in Shinjuku — Guests repeatedly praise the hotel's position – a short walk from Higashi Shinjuku metro, Shinjuku Station, and surrounded by bars, restaurants, and shops. You're also within walking distance of sights like the Samurai Museum and Omoide Yokocho.
  • Clean and comfortable rooms — Multiple reviews highlight spotless rooms and comfortable beds. The dormitories are basic but well-maintained, with everything needed for a short stay.
  • Helpful and friendly staff — Several guests noted the staff were 'super friendly' and 'helpful', quickly resolving any issues.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dormitory-style only – no private rooms — The hotel offers shared male and female dorms with single beds. There's no option for a private room, which may not suit travellers seeking solitude.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30. Late arrivals after midnight won't be able to check in, which could be an issue for red-eye flights or late-night plans.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a clear no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
  • Basic one-star amenities — As a one-star property, there's no swimming pool, gym, or restaurant. The amenities are functional – Wi-Fi, tea/coffee, washing machine – but not luxurious.
