Better Accomodations at a Better Price Elsewhere
My room smelled like a dirty sock, to the point that I couldn't sleep because of the smell. I had to run to Daiso for fabric refresher and use the entire thing on the tiny room. I recommend for the GM to have the carpets cleaned thoroughly ASAP. Gross feet + Tokyo humidity = gross smells. Also I was disappointed the breakfast that came with my booking wasa coffee, 2 mini croissants and a large spoonful of potato salad. I don't really recommend this hotel unless you really want or need to have LGBTQ+ friendly. The cafe staff members were wonderful.

..and there's a rooftop!
Great shower (it's definitely small though) with proper pressure and nice and firm mattress - what more you need from your hotel in Tokyo? Excellent staff - helpful and speaks English.

They respond quickly to my queries and requests. The bed was good and firm including firm pillows that i requested. A good night sleep is so essential for a traveller. Location was excellent. Not too near the busy shinjuku station and not too far for us to walk to the shinjuku station. Staff ever so friendly and welcoming. A very good experience for me.

Staff were kind and professional. The building is brand new, having opened just last month. Stayed for four nights and had no issues. The attached cafe was fine, but nothing special. Good for a convenient meal if you’re starving, but it’s in one of the most diverse neighborhoods of Shinjuku, so live a little. Check out the balcony, accessible by the staircase outside the front entrance. Good view of the street below and a great place to unwind. The laundry room is right next to it. One of the washers was broken (How? It’s brand new), but I didn’t run into problems doing laundry there. As a bonus, it has AC. The hotel isn’t too close to the heart of Shinjuku, but it’s got plenty of nightlife close by, and Shinjuku Station is a 15 minute walk away. The neighborhood doesn’t feel touristy, for better or for worse, so keep that in mind before you book a room. Personally I was a fan, though you may not be.
