Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Multiple reviews explicitly note rooms and the rooftop onsen as clean; no major cleanliness complaints.
Service
7.6
Staff frequently described as kind and helpful at check-in, but several mentions of limited English and some chaotic reception operations lower the score slightly.
Location
8.6
Consistently praised as an excellent, central Shinjuku location — convenient for shopping, dining and transit; a few notes about street noise at night did not outweigh the positives.
Room Quality
5.8
Many reviews call the rooms 'very small' with limited space for luggage and some AC control issues; this is the clearest negative theme across reviews.
Amenities
7.8
Rooftop onsen and large spa are repeatedly praised; some minor issues noted (vending machine out of order, clothes dryer performance) but overall amenities are a strong point.
Value for Money
8
Several guests explicitly state the hotel is very good value for the price, making value one of the stronger positives.
Food and Beverage
7.7
Breakfast is described positively by at least one guest ('typical breakfast is incredible'); otherwise limited mentions of F&B, so set near the target rating.
Overall Experience
8.3
Aggregate sentiment is positive: great location, helpful staff, clean facilities and a loved rooftop onsen outweigh room-size complaints for many guests, yielding a strong overall experience.

It’s fine for a short stay, but not more.
Pros:

The location was good, central, and close to many places. It was convenient for getting around.

Cons:

The room was extremely small, it was not possible for two people to be inside at the same time. The bathroom was also very tiny, making it uncomfortable to use. Overall, the space felt cramped and impractical

Pros:

Konumu çok güzel. Otelden çıktığınız anda merkezdesiniz. Bir otelden havaalanına gidecekseniz burayı seçin çünkü limuzin otobüsler hemen dibinden kalkıyor

Cons:

Çok çok küçük.
