    The rooms were so small you can barely open your suitcase. No option for single beds and could not include buffet in purchase if room

    The location was good it was clean and loved the onsen.

    Second time staying at that hotel. The compact room has everything one may needs, the bed is very comfortable. Location is great and despite Kabuki-cho being a touristy spot, the area is very quiet at night.

    The rooms were extremely small, which I did not realize from the pictures. If you are sharing your room with someone, you better like them because you are not getting ANY space from eachother.

    Great location, super clean, and the public bath was amazing. I love that they give you yakata to wear around as well!

    Hotel is close to a lot of nightlife but wasn’t too bad, not the cleanest area

    Room was clean and comfortable, good place to stay if you want to be in Shinjuku, walking distance to plenty of things, short walk from the main train station also

    Not much, they only give me one key per person, have to always go back to front desk if I forget my key, and then once they have you a new key only the newest one works, and if you forget about that and left the room with the old key you'd have to get a new key again...

    Great staff, locations, spa is awesome and much needed, luggage check-in during check-out is super helpful.

    Absurdly small room. We stayed in another APA hotel in Asakusa and also reserved a double room that was listed as the same size as the one in Shinjuku. unfortunately, this room was much smaller. Almost no room to move around. you check in in the lobby on a computer and the staff don’t really provide any service. When we were there (over Christmas break) mist of the guests seemed to be foreigners. Had more of youth hostel vibe. The bag check was ok.

    It was clean. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was correct.

    The laundry machines are low quality. They take too long to dry, to the point where my wife gave up. We instead went to a laundromat on the same block and it was cheaper and quicker. We also found the constant bags of amenities to be wasteful. We really didn't need one every day of a two week stay. They started to just take up space. I think they should be like the housekeeping where you request it or get it automatically every few days.

    Perfect location. The view from the top floor was amazing. It's very worth paying extra for that room. Check-in was quick and storing our bags on our last day before our flight was quick, convenient, and free. Many convenient businesses are nearby and also close to multiple train stations for easy travel around the city.

    No storage space for bags and less hanging space for clothes. The onsen area was a bit messy with water pooling in the shower area.

    Bathroom was a bit too small for my 6 foot husband. Property was a bit too far from the train station with a family to haul around. Also I didn’t know it was the entertainment district nearby so lots of bars with photos of girls. It was fine for my teenage kids but probably not ideal for family with younger kids. Plus I was woken up at 3am by drunk people as they stumble home. Bring earplugs to help you sleep during jet lag.

    Our family of 4 took 2 basic rooms. We had a comfortable bed and all the necessary amenities (hot water for tea/coffee, blow dryer, slippers, onset outfit, toiletries) with free movies on TV. Breakfast buffet was tasty for 2,500 yen. Property location was walkable to multiple train stations. We took the bus from the airport that dropped off at Shinjuku station so it was a good 20 minute walk with luggages. There was one other bus that would have been closer but we would have to wait longer at airport to catch it. Taking the subway would have been another option but we were too tired from our long flight to navigate tickets and transfers.

    Breakfast was mid. The bath house had limited hours.

    Close to the station, near lots of sights. The bath house was nice, especially after a long day. You can also get a massage in your room if there is availability.
