Multiple guests repeatedly praised cleanliness (clean, 綺麗, 很乾淨) and well-stocked toiletries; overall strong positive cleanliness sentiment.
Service
1
Staff were responsive in key moments (locked out resolved quickly) though some guests reported difficulty reaching staff by phone at times.
Location
1
Consistently praised: very close to train/bus stops, convenience stores nearby and convenient access to Ikebukuro/Shinjuku; clear positive location sentiment.
Room Quality
1
Mixed: rooms described as spacious and modern but several practical issues (no elevator, difficult 4th-floor access, heavy entry door, shaky table, some hard pillows) negatively affected stay comfort for multiple guests.
Amenities
1
Good range of in-room amenities noted (washing machine, dryer, iron, large fridge, toiletries, umbrellas) but some missing services (no luggage storage, no elevator) lowered the score slightly.
Value for Money
1
Several reviews explicitly called out strong cost-performance (コスパ最強) and would recommend/book again, indicating positive perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
No on-site F&B noted and one report of a strong cooking/spicy odour in the building hall that spread into the apartment, which negatively impacted guest experience in this area.
Overall Experience
1
Overall sentiment is positive (recommendations, would book again, spacious and clean) but practical downsides (stairs/no lift, luggage issues, occasional noise or odour) tempered the overall score.

Pros:

整體都算不錯，就是要爬上四樓，較麻煩一些，還好樓梯算很寬了，所以整體給個優質住宿點

Cons:

唯一比較能加強的就床墊太薄了，邊邊較沒支撐性，舒適度較沒那好，但走累了還是好睡的。

Best hotel for small families wanting to stay in a quiet neighborhood, but accessible to train station.
Pros:

We love how accessible this hotel is from the train station. It was close to everything and had lots of convenience store and small grocery options. It is located in a residential area where there are small parks you can go to if you have kids in tow.

Since this was an apartment hotel, staying here feels live you’re living in Japan! It has a fully functional kitchen so we often prepared our own food, and a washer/dryer so we didn’t have to bring a lot of clothes with us.

Cons:

There’s no elevator so if you’re staying at the upper floors, it’ll be a struggle to carry heavy luggages to your room.

Pros:

A lovely, cozy stay, close to Shinamachi station. They kindly provide laundry soap for the washing machine too, which was nice of them. Clean. A great choice if you'd prefer to self-cater.

Cons:

Very minor, but it would be good if a bin could be provided for the bathroom for sanitary products, rather than having to put them in the kitchen's bin.

Excellent?
Pros:

Everything was great! Clean, spacious, and well-designed. The area was very safe and quiet. Near the train station. Located near convenience stores and restaurants

Cons:

Just a minor issue about the location: It wasn’t along the Yamanote line, so we needed to do a transfer each time we wanted to go to a major destination.

Pros:

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour, le logement était propre et bien équipé, nous avons reçu toutes les instructions à l’avance et la communication avec notre hôte était fluide.

Cons:

Il n’y a pas d’ascenseur dans l’immeuble et la rue est très passante et bruyante la nuit.

Very decent stay for a family of four
Pros:

I like the shower room can be doubled as a drying room. It's very handy to be able to wash and dry clothes every day during the hot summer days.

The location is great except it is outside the Tokyo subway route which you can't take advantage of those 24/48/72 free ride pass and have to pay extra from Ikebukuro. But the excellent room rate makes up for it.

There's a lawson convenience store from the south exit towards the building. There's also a few restaurants and a supermarket at the north exit which is very handy to pick up food.

The facilities are very new. I wish there's free local Japanese tv program available though.

Cons:

It has all the essentials for the stay. There're a few things that could make it even better. There's no sweeper or paper towels which means you have to use tissue paper to clean up messes or splashes on the floor. Also, there's no dish towels or dish drying basket for the kitchen. One of the double beds is a tad too narrow for two persons. The other one seems to be a decent size.

Perfect!
Pros:

Appartement is perfect. Voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Locatie is vlakbij het treinstation en bus 11 stopt voor de deur. Bus 2 (brengt je naar Shinjuku) stopt om de hoek. Winkels op loopafstand. Rustige fijne wijk.
