7.8/10

This hotel is a budget option located conveniently near the subway in Shinjuku. The rooms are quite small but tidy and functional for a short stay. The staff was helpful during our check-in, which was a pleasant surprise. However, the noise from the street can be disruptive at night, and I wouldn't recommend it for more than two people in a room due to the tight space.

This hotel is a budget-friendly option in the lively Kabukicho area, making it convenient for accessing the subway and exploring the city. The rooms are quite compact, which may feel a bit cramped for couples, but the cleanliness was a plus.

The hotel offers decent value for money, especially considering its central location in Shinjuku. While the rooms are clean and tidy, they are a bit cramped for two travelers, especially with luggage. The staff was helpful during our stay, and the access to public transport is a big plus. However, the noise from the surroundings can be quite overwhelming at night, making it less ideal for light sleepers.
