Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms run small — Several reviews mention compact rooms—fine for a short stay, but not ideal for spreading out.
- Two smoking room categories — Standard Twin and Standard Double are both smoking options, which may limit non-smoking choices in those bed configurations.
- Paid parking only — Parking is available but not free, and given Shinjuku's density, spaces may be limited.
- Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Guests arriving after 10 pm must plan ahead, as the official check-in closes at that time.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

7.9Verified guest“The location was excellent, the room clean, the staff helpful, and breakfast tasty with a view.”
7.9Verified guest“A convenient spot with free breakfast and all-day drinks. I stayed over Christmas at a reasonably priced hotel that was comfortable. The room was small but clean—just right for a short visit. It's near the train station with plenty of eateries around. The free breakfast with pastries and coffee was a bonus, and I liked having coffee, Japanese tea, and water available all day.”
7.9Verified guest“Right in the heart of Shinjuku, this hotel works well as a base for shopping and the nightlife of Ni-chome. The underground station is a stone's throw away, and Shinjuku's sights are minutes on foot. Free internet in the lobby, free water and green tea 24/7, and a simple but decent breakfast spread.”
7.9Verified guest“Great location and friendly staff! I stayed for a weekend trip and couldn't have asked for a better spot. It was within walking distance to the train station and subway, making city exploration easy. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful with local tips, and the rooms were clean with everything I needed.”
