Good location

Great location, good price for somewhere in Shinjuku. It is not super pretty, but has everything you need. Shower was hot, bed was soft and comfortable. The room was non smoking but easily accessible smoking area is in the common area.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The outside seating areas smelled of cigarettes and the room smelled of dryer sheets or something. They had a very nice laundry machine and commercial dryer, but it was outside and didn't have a combination lock. A little bit of a walk to the train station but not bad and lots happening in terms of interesting shops along the walk. Lots of nice restaurants and shops near the place too. It was listed as a room for two, with two beds but it looked like there were two more fold-out beds in the room if needed and bedded for four was in the room. Door locks were a combination. Wi-fi worked fine. Toilet, sink, and shower were all in separate rooms, which would be nice if you had a bunch of kids or something. 2 or 3 steps in the room to get up to the bath.

Not at all as described or pictured!!

I ordered a 2 bedroom family apartment with city view and that is what the picture showed on line as well. When we arrived we were shown to a one room apartment with 6 twin beds and told our side was on the one side. I refused that. They came back with saying they could put us in 2 rooms but it was an apartment. I got the apartment due to having a child who wanted her own room. I was not about to stick my child in a room by herself in a new country. I am still waiting on my refund. It says no refund but considering the fact it was nothing like what was shown should be a reason to refund...bait and switch is not okay! This issue left us with nowhere to stay thankfully i found a place down the road and it was exactly as described and shown! Please dont advertise if its not the actual room and please refund my money already!!!

Caveat emptor

Great and convenient location not far from three train/subway stations but no cleaning service in rooms during our five day stay. Had to ask for clean towels 3 times. Quiet neighbourhood except for people entering and exiting adjacent room at all hours. Overpriced for a two star hotel at best. Hallways are dirty and run down. Rooms were clean but in desperate need of renovation. Beds are squeaky and pillows less than flat. Lesson learned. Caveat emptor.

WARNING BEWARE OF ROOM 5 AND M5!! PLEASE, for the love of god, reconsider staying here. This was by far the worst hostel experience we had in Japan. The day we arrived they let us check in an hour early, which we thought was awesome. The room heavily smelt of bleach, so we left the bedroom window open. We left to go sightseeing for the entire day and came back late at night. It was a cold night, so the heaters had been turned on, enhancing the smell of mould. We were horrified. It’s hard to explain just how damp and mouldy this place smelt! We started really looking at the room and realised the shower had black mould growing in the silicone. From what we could tell, they had plastered the shower in cheap wall paper to hide how run down it truly was. When you poked some parts of the wall paper, it buckled inwards. It was around 11pm at this point, I was having a hard time sleeping, so I went to the service desk, Hoping, praying, they would have another room. The man managing the service desk acted shocked when I told him about the mould. How could you miss it?! I suggested for him to come take a look, so he followed me to the room. The man looked around the shower, pointing out the mould and poking the walls like we had. He tugged at the silicone in the shower and started to pull it up. Looking at the mould behind the silicone was nauseating so I left the bathroom. The man said he could not help us and that we had to wait till 7am to talk to the manager of sophiearth. I clos

As a last minute reservation since my Airbnb was small for the amount of people we booked for. I stumble upon this property, at first I wasn’t expecting nothing big. However upon first impression. This was the perfect size for person. This hotel allowed me to come sleep, than hit the street of Japan. This hotel is in prime location, everything is very walk able. Overall I love it. Will for sure look for posting when I come back to Japan

As expected of a 1 star

Not a great place to stay, more of a last resort short stay. Dirty, toilet leaked on the floor after every flush, shower drain didnt work effectively so the shower would flood with dirty water from the run down flooring and walls. Bugs were frequent and it felt risky just being in the beds. Dont be cheap; spend the extra cash and get a better place.
