Great stay
Pros:

The room is big enough for a family of 3 (couple + baby) and the room size allowed for my baby to roam around to explore. Around the area had many eateries and places to get food from and it's about a 5 min walk from 2 different stations. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Would recommend for families. Oh they had coin operated washing machine and dryer too.

Cons:

Not much to complain, just know that the place has no lift to the upper floors.

Pros:

Onze gastvrouw Eileen deed er alles aan om ons te helpen, en was hierbij zeer proactief. Wij hadden eerder tevergeefs gepoogd om de datums van ons verblijf met 1 nacht te verkorten, maar dat werd door Eileen meteen geregeld in afstemming met Booking.com.
Ook regelde Eileen voor ons de transfer van onze koffers naar het hotel in Tokyo waar we na terugkeer van onze trip naar Kyoto onze reis zouden eindigen.

Good position near Shinjuku and good price/quality
Pros:

Nice and quiet hotel near Shinjuku, it's a small structure with few but large rooms with an authentic and traditional atmosphere. The reception is open 24h and the staff is very kind.

Traditoneel Japans verblijf
Pros:

Een traditioneel Japans gevoel
Uitzonderlijk vriendelijke eigenares! Ze helpt met alles wat je maar nodig kan hebben. Ze helpt je valkezen naar boven te brengen. Wij hadden het pribleem dat onze valies kapot geleverd werd aan ons hotel door Yamato en zij heeft geholpen om hiervoor een vergoeding te krijgen.
Haar Engels is heel erg goed.
De locatie is erg handig, dicht bij metro, restaurants, winkels (zoals een Donki) maar toch erg rustig!
De kamers zijn schoon.
Alles is aanwezig (frigo, handdoeken, tandenborstel, shampoo, haardroger, paraplu...)

Verder heb je ook de mogelijkheid tot een andere futon, deken of kussen te kiezen.

Cons:

De kamers zijn licht verouderd. Maar het brengt wel zijn charme.
Ook de muren zijn heel erg dun. Dus als de buren luidruchtig zijn, hoor je alles. Maar daar hadden wij gelukkig geen last van. Iedereen was erg stil in het hotel.

Tolle Lage und trotzdem sehr ruhig.
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer bestand aus zwei Räumen. In einem waren die Futonbetten, in dem anderen konnten wir unsere Koffer abstellen und problemlos öffnen.
Das Hotel ist zentral gelegen und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Man hat zwei Metrostationen in unmittelbarer Nähe.

Excellent location and introduction to visiting Japan
Pros:

A nice experience to stay in a Japanese-style room. First time sleeping on a futon bed and found it very comfortable. Excellent location close to the Shin-Okuba station and lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Staff were lovely and helpful.

Not a good pick for families
Pros:

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, but unfortunately the hotel itself is badly in need of cleaning and repair so there was no too much they were able to do to help.

Cons:

They have no larger rooms so our family had to split across two - one on the first floor and one on the third floor. Our rooms both smelled absolutely awful, but each in a different way. The first floor room smelled badly of mildew while the third floor smelled like the worst body odor I have ever encountered. In both cases the only solution to airing out the rooms was to have the air conditioner running on cold despite the fact that it was February and freezing. This still did not remove the smell, but it at least circulated air so that it was not suffocating. It is also located down a rather unpleasant alley that was not nice to walk in the evenings with our children.
