Most of the customers are foreigners.The room smells like a club room, a mixture of sweat and deodorant.Even though it's a hostel, I wonder why they charge 5,6,000 yen for things like toothbrushes and towels...Also, they will store your luggage, but the staff will not take care of it, just leave it on a shelf next to the elevator. I don't think you would notice if it was stolen...

I made a reservation through Booking, and to be honest, I was surprised to be able to stay at this price in the Shinjuku area, so I came here with no luck at first.The room was clean and everyone at the front desk was kind and nice.The room also smells good, so you can choose with confidence as there is no body odor or noise.

About 15 minutes from Shinjuku StationGood stay experience, mostly European guestsThe only drawback is that each cubicle is too stuffy.It will be stuffy if you put up the shade cloth, so you should consider it carefully in summer.

Update 2024: many hostels forget they are in the “hospitality” business. I showed up late and I was tired and I had to make my own bed. It’s not a very big deal, but it’s frustrating that I need to do chores when I’m paying for accommodation. Also, charging money for a towel is not hospitality, it’s greedy and disrespectful to customers. It’s a way of making your hostel seem just a bit cheaper than it is so when customers show up, they need to pay more money.
