The hotel room was small and lacked space, making it challenging to move around with a large suitcase. However, the bed was cozy and comfortable, and the hotel was conveniently close to the train station.

The location was really convenient with an entrance to Higashi Shinjuku station just across the road, allowing easy access to different attractions. Despite being near the red light district, it felt close to town due to the enjoyable walking distance to various places.

The hotel is conveniently located just a minute from the subway and about 10-15 minutes walk to the busy part of Shinjuku. The rooms are uncomfortably small, but clean. The service is courteous, though some staff seemed inexperienced. The dining options are mediocre. However, the location is extremely efficient for exploring Tokyo, especially Shinjuku and Shibuya.

While the rooms are small, the friendly service and excellent location compensate for the lack of space.

The hotel was a bit disappointing with tiny rooms that made it a challenge to move around with luggage. The breakfast was subpar, and controlling the room temperature was difficult due to it being too hot. However, the service was fantastic with attentive staff who provided great care. The location was perfect, right next to Higashi-Shinjuku Tokyo metro station, offering great convenience for exploring the area. The dining experience was mediocre with food that seemed store-bought, but they had some nice jams. Overall, it's a mixed experience with some key drawbacks and positives.
