The location places you within easy reach of Shinjuku's nightlife, shopping, and dining, while the immediate vicinity remains calm. Kabukicho and Golden Gai are a short walk away. Shinjuku Subnade Shopping Mall is 7 minutes on foot, and the Samurai Museum is 600 metres from the hotel.

Accommodation

Available room types include Double, Single, and Twin, each with a private bathroom fitted with a bath, shower, bidet, hairdryer, and slippers. Rooms also include a safe, electric kettle, sofa, and work desk. The hotel has been recently renovated, so rooms feel modern and well-maintained. Corner rooms offer more space and better views. Some rooms have a frosted window between the bathroom and the bedroom, which may not suit all travellers. Noise can carry from adjacent rooms and the train line, so consider requesting a higher floor room away from the tracks.

A buffet breakfast is served daily at an additional charge of 1760 JPY, offering a mix of Japanese and Western dishes.

Continental and Japanese options are available, including bread, rice, fish, salad, and hot dishes. Coffee from an espresso machine is included. Some may find the selection limited or the food not always hot. The surrounding area has numerous restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores within a short walk, providing additional dining choices.

Wellness and Leisure

No dedicated wellness facilities such as a pool or gym are present, but the hotel offers practical amenities for a comfortable stay.

The focus is on convenience: there is a guest laundry on the top floor (500 JPY for a full wash and dry cycle) and an on-site luggage storage service. The quiet location on a side street contributes to a restful night's sleep.

Free WiFi, 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, and a self-service laundry are among the key services.
