I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel located in the bustling area of Shinjuku. The rooms were very nicely presented and clean, despite being smaller than expected. Despite the hotel's location near many bars and restaurants, the room was surprisingly quiet. However, if you have a large suitcase, space could get tight quickly.
