We stayed 4 nights as a couple in a private room. For what we paid, I was pretty underwhelmed after staying other places in Tokyo for similar prices.While a small room is expected in the area, it wasn’t well considered. Surely they can add a hook or two on the wall. Bathrooms were fine, but a bit tired.Service was average with an iPad check in process.I really liked the basement area for breakfast and all. Felt very social and relaxed. Common room was the opposite and felt like a 18/19yo party zone.I’d look elsewhere next time.

There are a lot of foreigners making noise and smoking outside, which is a big nuisance to local residents.Cause of deterioration of public order.postscript.It says it will be improved, but it hasn't been improved at all. It doesn't look like he's doing it at all. In the end, it's just a superficial appeal to people who read reviews.Foreigners continue to smoke outside and throw cigarette butts and trash on the street. Talk loudly from early morning until midnight.If we're going to make improvements, shouldn't we first remove the outside rest area?It's really annoying.

Party hostel in the heart of Shinjuku. 15 minutes walk to train station. This is a hardcore youth party hostel, so if that’s what you want that’s what you get. But if you’re looking for a quiet place I’d recommend going elsewhere. It’s decent enough for the price.

A quick night stay 15 minutes walk from Shinjuku station. The room was quite cramped when fully occupied.The breakfast was good and thoughtful. They start it since 4 in the morning! The croissants are a must try.
