I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you have absolutely no other option. The building is extremely old and has a strong, unpleasant smell that hits you as soon as you walk in. While I’ll give credit that the bedding was clean, that’s honestly the only positive thing I can say.

Sophiearth is ...only ideal if travelling on a budget, and being based in Shin-Okubo it's a convenient location to easily get to other places in Tokyo, like Shinjuku and Akihabara. The coin laundry works very well.

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.

Stayed 6 nights. They didn’t clean room nor toilet. No fresh towel. We had to ask them to clean toilet and fresh towels. We had to change garbage can in room and clean up ourselves each day. Room has no window. We stayed in three person room as a couple. No way it would fit 3. Room is extremely basic. But location is excellent. Close to trains, bus and tons of affordable good food and Sento nearby. It is more like a hostel and should not be advertised as a hotel.

Our room didn't look like the one in the photo. We had two beds along the wall, each of which had two roll out beds underneath. When they were pulled out, it was hard to access the bathroom without stepping on one of the beds. It was fine because we were only in the room for sleeping and were out sightseeing otherwise, but would not be the most comfortable place to hang out in. Check in was fast and easy. Fairly close to 2 train stations on different lines, so that was pretty convenient. Was an ok price for Tokyo.
