Cleanliness
8.5
Generally described as modern and clean in multiple reviews, though some guests noted rooms are not always fully cleaned daily and there was litter around the hotel exterior at times.
Service
9
Staff frequently called helpful, warm and accommodating, going above and beyond for guests; a few comments noted rushed or slightly distant service in lounge areas.
Location
9.6
Consistently praised as an excellent, central Shinjuku location close to the station and nightlife; very convenient for sightseeing despite occasional crowding and a few safety/late-night concerns.
Room Quality
6.2
Many guests reported very small rooms, limited luggage space, and small or very hard beds; layout and twin-bed configurations also cited as inefficient.
Amenities
8.6
Unique Godzilla theme, in-room bathtubs and strong showers, coffee/tea facilities and other amenities were liked; some operational issues reported (broken laundry dryers, elevator access complaints).
Value for Money
7.7
Mixed sentiment: location and service justify the price for many, but several guests felt the rooms were small for the rate and breakfast could be overpriced, lowering perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.3
Breakfast received mixed reviews — some guests praised it as excellent, others found it poor and expensive compared with local options.
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall highly recommended by many reviewers for location, staff friendliness and unique character (Godzilla); negatives (small rooms, crowds, occasional cleanliness/service quirks) tempered but did not dominate most guests' overall impression.

Great stay, will definitely stay again if we are in Shinjuku,
Pros:

Location. Close to everything and minutes away from
The train station which was convenient. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Love the shower and separate toilet.

Cons:

Nothing bad about the property but noticed that there were a lot of litter around the corner of the hotel especially early in the morning. Also, lots of shady people but nothing to be concerned about.

Hartje levend, bruisend Tokyo. Beetje plastic, druk, buitenlaag, alsof je self in een anime zit. Maar niet willen missen
Pros:

Midden in druk centrum waar alles te beleven is, beetje ver van de metro maar makkelijke wandeling. Snelle kiften. Oké kamer met goed uitzicht. Vooral heerlijke douche. Koffie en thee prima.,Godzilla is grappig. En in een stad waar heel veel te doen is. Bv disaster preparedness training

Cons:

Indeling kan beter vooral twee losse bedden kost veel ruimte, beter 1 groot bed, het ontbijt was slecht van wat wij in Japan gezien hebben en duur. Beter zelf ergens ontbijt regelen, lekkerder en voor minder. Personeel is natuurlijk vriendelijk maar afstandelijk.

Delightful experience with a warm welcome and hospitality from the staff
Pros:

Hotel Gracery was an excellent choice for our first Japan holiday! Location is great, right in the middle of everything and a short walk to Shinjuku station, which despite all the rumours wasn’t as hard to navigate as I expected.
Gracery staff were so warm, welcoming and always went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and gave us a lovely card congratulating us on our honeymoon.

Cons:

Nothing! Leaving out one side of the building late at night might feel a little unsafe, but there are so many options for how to enter from the station side, this was never a concern!

Pros:

Excellent location, room size was fine as we had carry on Only, any larger (ie suitcases) and it would have felt a bit tight.

Pros:

The staff, the Godzilla theme.

Cons:

Small room. They don't fully clean the room every day (maybe if you specifically request they will). Need 2 elevators to reach your room. I guess the location is great if you're young and looking to party. For me and my wife it was way too crowded, drunks everywhere and women who harass you for their "services".
