Nothing shinjuku about this property. Probably the worst hotel ive stayed at. It felt like a prefab structure. Anyone off the street could just walk up to your hotel room door. Theres no corridors and rooms like a normal hotel. The rooms are outside inside a glorifed garage. The room was horrible and dirty. It was not maintained well. It had hairs in the shower (which also had no shower curtain and was coming from a pipe from the sink tap). Leftover shower gel still in the bathroom. I wasnt even sure if the towels were clean. My heart sank when i first seen the room. Looks nothing like the pictures. On top of that, the walls were thin and i could hear a group of people laughing for hours. I was booked in for the final 2 days of my 3 week trip in japan. But i left after 1 day. I couldnt subject myself to the torture of this room and risk ending my amazing trip on such a sour note. The only positives were that the surrounding area was quite nice and quaint and i was allowed to check in earlier than 15:00. Avoid this place.

The location is a short 1 min walk away from the train station and having it be close made our trasit with luggage very straight-forward. The area is quiet and away from the urban areas as well. It is exactly what we paid for. It's not the most impressive but for its price point I'd say it did its job of meeting our accomodation requirements for our Japan trip.

The property is close to transportation and food places. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Kang-san make a delicious gim bap. However the floor in the room needs to be cleaned better especially under the beds and table. Also the shower floor needs to be scrubbed.

The property is simple but it fits the needs you have. It is clean as far as staff is concerned. It is a hostel so you can't account for what other guests do. The convenience is worth the price.

The room was clean and spacious, great for a group of six people. The hotel is near the Nakai station so it wasn’t too difficult to travel. The hotel is also near foodchains and some restaurant, and convenience stores, there’s also a nearby ATM and vendos.
