What's nearby

  • #Shinjuku #Tokyo #Japan #alley The famous piss alley or Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku, Tokyo. By day it's just another narrow alleyway common in Tokyo, but at night the street turns into a mini nightlife area for the salarymen of Tokyo. With numerous tiny #bar lining up, the nickname comes from the fact in the past so many drunk salarymen doing their "bussiness" there because there's no toilet anywhere in this alleyway. Today, regulation has been set in the area so it is a lot cleaner than before. The alleyway is very narrow and can only fit at maximum 2 people at a time so be mindful of your surrounding when visiting especially when there's many drunk people walking by from the bars. The bars are also very tiny and can only fit less than 10 people at a time. If you are not claustrophobic give them a try, it's a special experience on its own :)

Staff were very courteous. Room was on the very small side, along with the bathroom. Compared to a previous Livemax hotel I've been to. Lights were kind of dreary, and no curtain just a single pull down shade that you could open or close. One of those you get what you pay for kind of thing

Disliked: Cleanliness
The cleaning staff are super nice, everytime I left my room they would say hello and offer to change my towels or take my trash even if I had chosen not to get my room cleaned. The front desk staff treat you like a chore plain and simple. Rooms are tiny, really tiny, you get what you pay for. Room I got had water stains on the roof. If you want to just have a place to store your stuff and pass out in after everything closes this is the place. The park next to the hotel was cool, they had a month long food expo. There were nicer hotels in the same area, please look at those instead of this place.

Good location but the room wa too tiny for people of 4. There was no space at all. Just bed and shower. They need to replace the carpets everywhere and they were so dirty and smelly.

The hotel is average. Ideal for someone who wants a clean place but doesn't want to spend a lot. It's located near a lively and busy location in Shinjuku - right in the middle of action. Around 15 minutes walking to Shinjuku station.

2.5 Stars…In the heart of the action of Kabukicho. Basically the Japanese equivalent of a low cost hotel in Paris. Tiny space, have to climb over partner if sleeping two. Bathroom is some sort of prefab thing that is very efficient but very small only 1 person at a time and god help you if you are a large person. Staff can’t speak english very well but just enough to get by, despite them telling you no English and being 100% a tourist hotel… check in and checkout is very easy done completely at the machine without need for human interaction. Not a bad place to stay if you just need a place to stay for the nights and want your own bedroom but not much further than that. It has air conditioned rooms at least!!!

Great location right in Shinjuku and close to many train stations. The hotel was fairly loud, not due to street noise/busyness but due to the baseball batting range across the street that is open until the early morning. Limited toiletries and amenities compared to other hotels in this price range that we experienced in Japan. Room size was as expected for Tokyo. Aside from location, not great value for the price, we would stay elsewhere next visit.

The room was super dirty. Hair on the sheets and shower upon arrival, what seems to be burn mark on the bed sheet, a lot of stuf under the bed and stains on sheet, towel and on the walls. Got a rooms by the elevator which also cause some noise. That being Said that personal was super friendly and helpful.
