In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Prime Shinjuku location — The inn sits in Okubo, a vibrant area full of restaurants and bars, and is within a 10-minute walk of four train stations, including JR Shin-Okubo.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Multiple reviewers highlight the staff as accommodating, from arranging late check-outs to providing local advice, though some noted limited English.
  • Good value for money — Guests repeatedly mention the balance of price and quality, with comfortable beds and clean facilities at a budget rate.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic facilities — The rating for facilities is notably lower (5.6), and while rooms are clean, they lack extras like in-room safes or a proper breakfast area.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types have shared toilets, which may not suit travellers wanting private facilities.
  • Street noise possible — Being in a lively entertainment district means some rooms may pick up street sounds, as one reviewer noted.

“This is my go-to inn whenever I'm in Tokyo. The staff once arranged a late check-out for me. It has everything I need: free Wi-Fi, round-the-clock reception, a flat-screen TV, and breakfast. I'll be back for Easter. No regrets!”

“The staff were incredibly friendly, even if their English was limited. Rooms were spacious, clean, and had a large TV and fridge. The location was perfect — in the middle of lively areas but quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The hostel was well-organized with thoughtful touches. Great value, and the other guests were polite and respectful. Only con: it was all superb!”
