The location was good…. That’s the only good thing

Cons:

The rooms were old, smelly (like stinky feet smell) mould in the bathroom and definitely very outdated compared to the photos they posted

又宿泊してもいいと思いました
Pros:

トイレと風呂と洗面台が別だったことです。
小さいけどテーブルがあり、靴ベラがあったこと。
ホテル内にランドリーはないけど、コインランドリーが近くにあったこと。

Cons:

脱衣所がないので、着替えを置くスペースがなくて、イスを持ってきて、着替えを置いた。

Budget hotel - fantastic location
Pros:

We booked our trip last minute so we were very limited in choice as far as booking a hotel close to Shinjuku station and taking into account we were a family of 5.

THE GOOD
- excellent location , walking distance to everything
- area felt safe & hotel was quiet considering it’s in the heart of the city
- we arrived around midnight, staff were friendly, check-in was smooth
- staff very helpful, ensuring all our 3 rooms were on the same floor
- useful amenities like a microwave, mini fridge, and kettle all ok
- Water pressure and air con good
- rooms were reasonably clean
- double room was comfortable, and for Japanese standards size was good

Cons:

-Cigarette smell as soon as you walk into each room
-Everything is outdated
-Reception area was cluttered and gave an impression of lack of upkeep
-One bedroom wall has water stains over the wallpaper
-Beds in both the twin rooms were squeaky and mattresses not comfortable
- Twin rooms were dark and and felt depressing
- Furnishings are a mix match of odd large pieces making room feel cramped

By no means were we expecting luxury given its 2-star rating. However I was very disappointed as the photos advertised on line are not a true indication of what they look like in 2026.

This hotel has so much potential. The rooms are crying out for a fresh coat of white paint all over the walls, doors and ceiling. Declutter and replace the mattress and towels. What a huge difference this would make.

Pros:

The location and the staff. Clean except of the mold on the walls

Cons:

The mold , the smell in the hall out of our room was very bad and the room was totally different from the pictures and when I told them it is the wrong room and it is not what we rent, they told us that there is no other available room and that the room from the pictures doesn't exist anymore.
