This hotel is a budget option located conveniently near the subway in Shinjuku. The rooms are quite small but tidy and functional for a short stay. The staff was helpful during our check-in, which was a pleasant surprise. However, the noise from the street can be disruptive at night, and I wouldn't recommend it for more than two people in a room due to the tight space.

This hotel is a budget-friendly option in the lively Kabukicho area, making it convenient for accessing the subway and exploring the city. The rooms are quite compact, which may feel a bit cramped for couples, but the cleanliness was a plus. While the service was helpful, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options. Overall, it's a decent choice for a short stay, especially for the price.

This hotel offers decent accommodation for the price, especially given its convenient location in Shinjuku. While the rooms are quite small and can feel cramped, they are clean and provide the necessary amenities. The service was helpful, and I appreciated their assistance during check-in. However, be prepared for noise from the lively surroundings and the early check-out time, which might be a downside for some travelers.

7.2/10

The hotel offers decent value for money, especially considering its central location in Shinjuku. While the rooms are clean and tidy, they are a bit cramped for two travelers, especially with luggage. The staff was helpful during our stay, and the access to public transport is a big plus. However, the noise from the surroundings can be quite overwhelming at night, making it less ideal for light sleepers.
