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 :)

The staff was very helpful and kind. We accidentally booked a “smoking” room so I cannot fault them for that, but the hotel room floor felt dirty and areas of the carpet were torn. The room was spacious. The location was perfect and walking distance to many of the “must do” spots in shinjuku. Would stay again but in a “non smoking” room.

I like the location. 8 minutes walk from Shinjuku station and very close to Kabukicho. The room feels a bit old. The ceiling light was a bit hard to adjust, and there’s no room services (guests have to grab new towel themselves). So overall, great location, average room.

The location is great for those who enjoy a night out, a very short 2 minute stroll to Golden Gai, a beautiful vintage market on Sunday at the Shrine across the road and many convenience stores and Daiso in the area. Our room was large and had decent sound proofing. Unfortunately the room is in dire need of a remodel, the carpet tiles were lifted with big sticky glue patches and mould in the bathroom. They let us store our bags before checkin and afterwards which we greatly appreciated.

This is as a great place to stay for our first trip to Japan. A proper 3 star hotel with all needed amenities and very professional and courteous staff. We liked that they had linen available in the lobby for us to grab as needed and umbrella’s available for when it rained. It was also close to an Anytime Fitness, so be sure to bring your fob if you are a member. The only challenge was the room was very small, but we got used to it and made it work. Small rooms are the norm here but as an American, it was an adjustment. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a safe, quiet and comfortable stay in the Shinjuku area.

Conor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It's a fair walk from the station but right beside Golden Gai and Kabukicho and a 10 minute walk from the park. And there are plenty of affordable places to eat at nearby. The rooms are quite depressing. The hotel is very scruffy with scuff marks on the walls everywhere. They have a "no cleaning" policy during stays, but I really wondered if they clean much between visits. The bed is also of low quality. (I stayed in 13 hotels this trip and about 47 if I count earlier trips.) So many hotels have air purifiers which I never use, but here I would have liked one because it is a smoking only hotel. Yes, all rooms are smoking rooms. Unfortunately, there was no air purifier. The breakfast was also very mediocre, but then again, it cost almost nothing. Despite these misgivings, the location makes up for a lot and I would consider staying here again.
