Kuribana Holidays

We booked the family room for our family of 5 (kids 13, 10 and 8). The beds were comfortable and spacious, but otherwise it was a relatively compact room. The place was clean but it showed signs of wear. This showed in the condition of the tatami mat, the walls had many marks from perhaps luggage bumping into it, and the corners had accumulated dirt. Beware that the entrance flooring within the room is lower than the rest of the room by maybe a centimetre so there is a ledge on each side of the doorway. It is way to trip on it. Our 10 year old tripped on it one evening and really hurt his wrist. Poor design. There is no closet or drawers but there was a metal ledge on some of the walls for hangers. More hooks or hangers would have been helpful. The bathroom was well equipped with hooks, bars and drying rack though. Around 10min walk to the closest subway station (Higashi-Shinjuku) and 20min walk to Shinjuku station. Quiet streets until you are closer to Shinjuku. Plenty of Lawson’s, Family Mart and 7 eleven nearby. Lastly, there is a short flight (6-8 steps?) down to the main entrance for those who have trouble carrying their luggage up and down stairs.

The breakfast buffet was a really great way to start the day and totally worth the price. I used the laundry room to wash my clothes before departing and it was a great amenity. The rooms were clean and quiet and the location so central to everything.

Amazing hotel, room, staff, location and more! All around great experience

The hotel was well situated. It was in the upscale resdential Azabujuban neighborhood. There were convenience stores, interesting restaurants and bars near by. Rooms were on the small side (though dominated by a huge bed). Unless you have a subscription to a streaming service, no English (or other than Japanese) language television was available. Bring an HDMI cable to connect to the TV if you have those services on your computer. Pleasant 24 hour coffee area, bars in the hotel, but no restaurants beyond breakfast, which was very nice. Definitely a really nice stay.

Clean room, excellent hospitality from the staff, kitchen is equiped, love the washer ans dryer in the room.
