“Good value for a hotel in Shinjuku”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for 2 nights earlier in the month. Our room for 3 was pretty spacious and even had a cosy 2 seater sofa. Even though our room was on the 7th floor, a view outside the windows was non-existent due to presence of an adjacent building barely meters away. Not that we were complaining since we were out of the hotel most of the time. There are plenty of convenience stores (7-11, Family Mart, Lawson) coffee joints (Doutor etc) and eating establishments along the walking route between the hotel and the Shinjuku station.

The hotel is a 20minute walk from the JR Shinjuku station, with Takashimaya, Isetan and plenty of other shops and departmental stores located within a few minutes walking distance from the station. Walking to Kabukicho from the hotel took about 30minutes. The fastest way to get to the hotel from the train station is by exiting via the South exit, but for some reason we kept getting lost and took the slightly longer route out via the West exit on more than one occasion.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Govt Building is a stone throw away from the hotel. You should definitely check out the free observatory on the 54th floor of the govt building for great views of Shinjuku and Tokyo.

All in all the hotel is very good value for money given the fact that it is located in Shinjuku (though admittedly it is not located in a prime location within the area, but hey you cant have it all). We also managed to find an affordable and convenient airport coach service that took us to Narita Airport from the adjacent Washington Hotel, which was a nice way to bring our holiday to an end.

“Cheap but inconvenient”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

I was staying in a semi-double room on the 7th floor which only had one double bed instead of two for me and my girlfriend.
Although it was a small room, it was enough for short trips.
The staff were polite but those on duty at night spoke little english.
The heat in the room was not stable, i woke up too hot for two consecutive nights.
JR was our main mode for transport, this hotel is 15 minutes away from the west or the south exit of Shinjuku JR station.

“Great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here Feb 2010 so it's a late review. Hotel was older than some hotels in Tokyo, but the place was efficient and clean. Location was great, walking distance to gov building and other areas of interest. Best thing was the buffet breakfast which was exceptional, the food on offer was abundant and very good, western and eastern. It was definetely value for money and I highly recommend it. It's better than the other hotel we stayed on our way back, can't remember the name off the top of my head, and cheaper too.

“Basic older business hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

I chose this because of its proximity to a conference venue (Nat'l Olympic Youth Center in Yoyogi) and for that it was very good (~20 min walk). The hotel itself seemed to be undergoing some sort of work - it was shrouded in scaffolding and there were warning signs in the elevator: "Beware of paint smell." I was thinking, "Oh, great!" but experienced zero discomfort in that regard during my weekend stay. The room was clean, but a little tired-looking. That's why I've rated it a 3 instead of a 4. Semi-double bed was comfortable but I woke up at night because the room was hot and stuffy - I couldn't open the window because of the scaffolding outside. The staff were friendly and helpful - directed me to a good restaurant area and were unfailingly cheerful. All in all, a very average stay.
