The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Loft Experience

I stayed in a loft double room on the 12th floor and it was incredibly spacious compared to most hotel rooms I've encountered in Japan. With an amazing city view, I found everything I needed in the room. It felt modern and cozy, making my stay worthwhile. The layout was perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Fantastic Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom in my room was fantastic! It had a great water pressure shower and a nice bathtub. Not only was it clean, but it also offered ample space, which is often hard to find in Japanese hotels. The overall experience was much more comfortable compared to other places I have stayed in Tokyo.

Charming Rooftop Bar

I really enjoyed the rooftop bar at the hotel. It had a beautiful view of Shinjuku, making it the perfect spot to unwind at the end of a busy day. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was consistently good. I highly recommend enjoying a drink there while soaking in the amazing cityscape.

Cozy Room with Great Amenities

For the price per night, I was impressed with the amenities provided in the room. The toiletries were abundant, and I appreciated the special touches like the shoe horn and shoe buffer. Although the TV channels were mostly in Japanese, it was consistent with what I experienced throughout my trip. A suggestion for future guests is to bring a hard drive to enjoy your own shows.

6.6/10

The hotel is located in the lively Shinjuku area, which is filled with nightlife and dining options. The room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, with a stunning view from the 15th floor. However, the service could use improvement, especially with the handling of room assignments. Breakfast was decent, but I found the amenities lacking. The overall value feels more aligned with a 3-star rating than a 4-star experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The double-decker room is a unique feature that adds some charm, and it was kept clean throughout my stay. However, the dust issue made me concerned about the cleanliness standards, and the overall interaction with the staff left much to be desired. I faced an unfortunate situation where my friend was charged extra to enter my room, which felt unreasonable and really soured my experience.

8.0/10

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is centrally located in the vibrant area of Shinjuku. The rooms were tidy and functional, although a bit on the small side, but what really stood out were the amenities, especially the rooftop bar with a great view. However, the initial room given to us wasn't what we expected based on the booking photos, which was disappointing. The breakfast was tasty but on the pricey side.

The room we initially received was tiny and not what we expected from the pictures, but after speaking to the manager, we were moved to a much better room that was spacious and well-appointed.

Service

The service was generally excellent, and one staff member even went out of their way to help us with something special. However, I did encounter a bit of confusion regarding some special requests.

Location

The hotel's location is a major plus, just a short walk to the Shinjuku train station and right in the middle of the bustling bar and dining scene, which made exploring so convenient.

We enjoyed breakfast with a good mix of options, but it was a bit on the expensive side at 1,700 yen each.
