Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Neighborhood may feel uncomfortable — The area around the hotel contains many love hotels and nightlife activity, which may not suit solo female travellers or those seeking a quiet residential street.
- No on-site parking — No parking is listed, and given the central Shinjuku location, guests arriving by car will likely need to find public parking nearby.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in only from 16:00 — Check-in begins at 4 PM and ends at 11:59 PM, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving earlier in the day.
- Basic amenities and facilities — The hotel is rated 2 stars and offers only essential amenities; some guests mentioned that it lacks the space and facilities of a 4-star hotel.
