"I'll start with the cons. It is a small room, but I expected it. If you have a large suitcase or two, you will have little room to move around. My Tetris skills finally have a use.
Pros.
1. Location. Close to a train station - Hijashi-Shinjuku. Perfect for getting to and leaving the hotel. Literally almost at the door step. The main Shinjuku station is within walkable distance too.- but not one you want to walk with your suitcases.
But perfect to walk and sightsee to and from the hotel.
Staff - Friendly and professional.
Room/facilities - Clean. Enough power outlets. Light switches were handy. Bed was comfy.
Provided amenities such as toiletries, tea and coffee. Tea maker and fridge in each room. Microwave and washer and dryer on site. Great for doing a load of laundry.
There's even a clothes heat presser.
I was not lacking in anything.
I felt safe. It was quiet. Guests were also similarly aged/types. I think it is good for families.
There are 7-11 and restaurants near by too, for those meals you don't want to go out to get. The Taiwanese restaurant across the road was tasty! "

"The best hotel in Japan. The room is quiet and the location is so convenient. The subway station is right cross the street. McDonald and 7 11, a lot of restaurants, coffee shops and a near grocery store are all nearby. The check in and check out process is so efficient. We will definitely stay here again when we back to Tokyo. "
