We stayed here the DAY after the 9.0 earthquake. We arrived in Shinjuku after an epicly long commute from Auckland, with a delayed 9 hour stopover in KL, and catching a myriad of trains to get there due to the partial JR closure.

Anyway, we heeded advice of this site in that its not THAT easy to find, but if you print/save a copy of Google Maps screenshot on your phone you will be fine. About 10 mins walk from main Shinjuku station or you can get the subway to Sanchome #3 which will drop you right outside but thats a bit trickier unless you are familiar with Tokyo public transit.

We stayed on the top floor level 7, and our room was compact. The bed was wide enough however for the two of us, although floor space was sparse and the bathroom was very small - like a closet.

However, everything was very clean and well maintained - the staff had good English skills, the lobby has free internet wifi and provided laptops, and the free everyday breakfast was great for the level of hotel.

Just walk East towards Shinjuku station at night or day and you will find heaps of cool local food places, Pachinko, shops, vending machines etc.

In Summary: A cosy hotel, in a good location, good value, great staff, very clean, but with compact rooms. Suitable for a single or couple who doesn't want to rough it but doesn't mind not having all the comforts of a larger hotel.

We stayed at this hotel 3 times on our recent trip to Tokyo. Once on arrival, once after snowboarding & lastly on our return from Kyoto. On each occasion we received great service from this small but perfectly located hotel.

A special thank you to the hotel staff for taking extra time to assist us during the recent earthquake. Your extra care & understanding helped us greatly when we were struggling the most.

We will stay here again when we return to this beautfiul country.

This was a great base for me as a solo traveller for a few nights in Tokyo. The price is quite reasonable given the location.

The single rooms are very small, but that is standard for Japan. A basic continental breakfast is available downstairs. You can save a small amount of money by opting for an "eco-stay" where your towels and linen are not changed daily.

The hotel is only 50m from an exit of Shinjuku Sanchome station, a handy station with an interchange of 3 separate subway lines that can whisk you away around the city. It's a very short walk to the west to the main commercial area of Shinjuku where shops and restaurants abound.

The hotel is in Shinjuku Ni-Chome which is known as the "gay area" of Tokyo but the area does not seem sleazy or dangerous.

My biggest gripe is that although free internet is provided in the lobby it is not until after 10am. If you want to look something up online before heading out for the day this is really too late. Better do it by midnight the previous night when the computers are removed.

This hotel is wonderful in relation to price, location, cleanliness and great staff however they need to install thicker doors in their rooms. I was constantly woken up by people out in the hall ways talking really loudly or closing their doors.
The rooms are SMALL. Only book the single room if you are in fact single and have very little luggage. The double room is bigger but only slightly but in my eyes better value for money. Bathrooms are even tinier.
I would stay there again only know knowing what I know now.
