Great location just a couple of minutes from the Fukutoshin & Oedo subways lines and walkable to Shinjuku station. Newer, clean and the rooms are ever so slightly larger than some other business hotels in the city, comfortable for a solo traveller for 1-4 days. Breakfast was good, staff were good, would stay here again.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, for my first visit to Japan. The staff were excellent, really helpful and reception was well equipped with amenities. The hotel was conveniently located next to the metro station, near lots of restaurants. Despite being in a busy area, the hotel was really quiet enabling a good nights rest after a busy day. I will definitely stay there again.

Overall stay was okay. The best feature was how close they were to the train station, but I think you are able to find better hotels in the Tokyo area for around the same price. Overall the structure of the hotel was very old and the amenities they provided were quite average. The staff was nice and friendly though!
