Pros:

This was the second time I stayed here. I appreciate the friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere, even while the location is convenient for both Okubo and Shin-Okubo (and not far on foot from north Shinjuku). The room is spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

The doorways in the room are a bit low, so if you're taller than 175cm or so, you'll have to watch your head.

Pros:

Piccola per gli standard occidentali, se si ha valigie grandi è consigliato per una notte per una questione di spazio. Per il resto ottimo.

雖然沒有電梯,但服務人員打趣的協助扛起28吋行李箱,並說:她就是電梯!

Pros:

Personale molto cortese e disponibile. Stanza stile Ryokan, senza troppe pretese. Bagno ok.
Diciamo un buonissimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. La posizione è il suo punto di forza, certamente.

Cons:

L'armadio e l'appendiabiti erano un po' scomodi per come posizionati nella camera

Вполне приемлемо на пару дней
Pros:

Жили в отеле 4 дня. Сначала показалось сыровато, потом обжились и запах ушел и мы привыкли, в Токио в целом очень влажно, сложно с этим бороться. Расположение отличное, все рядом и метро и магазины, до знаковых мест пару остановок. Советую этот отель, если у вас пара дней в Токио, надолго будет сложновато, потому что тесно. Полотенца меняли каждый день, заправляли кровать 👍

Cons:

Запах сырости, тесновато. Но со всем свыкаешься, все равно номер был нужен только чтобы принять душ и поспать. Имейте ввиду - лифта нет, если чемоданы тяжелые, будет сложно, мы жили на 3 этаже.

Clean, comfortable and friendly
Pros:

The person on the reception desk was very warm and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable, and toiletries were also provided. We were able to leave our bags after checking out with no problems, which made a huge difference as our train wasn't until 630pm

Cons:

Nothing!

Struttura accogliente, posizione ottima!
Pros:

Mi sembrava di stare in una stanza tipica. Si trova esattamente tra due stazioni, 4 minuti ciascuna, molto comoda per gli spostamenti. Personale tanto disponibile!

Cons:

Pochissime finestre, sia in camera che negli spazi comuni, quindi l’ambiente purtroppo sapeva da chiuso.
