In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Exceptional location near Shin-Okubo Station — Guests consistently highlight the proximity to Shin-Okubo Station, with some noting just a 4- to 10-minute walk. The hotel's placement in Tokyo's Korean town also puts you close to Shinjuku's main attractions and transport links.

- Budget-friendly pricing with essential comforts — With rates from £35, the hotel delivers value in a prime Tokyo location. Guests note clean, tidy rooms with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, making it a solid pick for economy travellers.
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are compact — Several reviews describe the rooms as small, with space for a bed, a small fridge, and limited luggage. If you're looking for spacious accommodation, this may not be the right fit.
- Low overall rating and guest score — The hotel holds a 6.5 overall rating, and guest reviews average around 7.2, with some lower scores. While many positives are noted, the property may not meet expectations for those seeking higher comfort or service standards.
- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed among amenities or policies, which could be a drawback for guests planning to drive. Most visitors rely on public transport, which is conveniently close.

6.5Verified guest“A great stay with no complaints – ideal location just a couple of minutes' walk from the station, very helpful staff, and delicious breakfast. Near car rental, Shinjuku on the cheap, and close to two train stations and plenty of shops.”
6.5Verified guest“The location was the standout feature.”
6.5Verified guest“Location is a huge plus, right by Shin-Okubo Station. The spacious triple room with tatami flooring gave ample space for luggage, and the mini restaurant next door is perfect for quick meals or a drink.”
6.5Verified guest“A small, clean room – enough for a bed, small fridge, and a few travel bags – in a cute K-town neighborhood. Four minutes from the JR station, 15 minutes from Shinjuku Station. Free lobby Wi-Fi. Not high-end, but a clean, small, central budget option.”
