This hotel is clean and lovely to stay in. Room was bigger than other budget hotels in the area. Staff were great. Did not see any laundry machines available in building- but there is a paid laundry service.
This hotel is filled with foreign travelers almost exclusively. Which wasnt a bad thing for us, we made friends. Just avoid lobby during check-in & check-out times, since no one has spatial awareness.
For as great as the hotel was, this neighborhood felt like the Las Vegas of Japan. Never felt unsafe, but do your research and be prepared to walk through trash and vomit piles early in the morning. And be prepared to swerve around many groups of drunken youth while walking to Shinjuku station.
I loved it here, but I could see everyone else in my family avoiding Godzilla road altogether. Read up on some forums just to know what you're getting into, its a different vibe from the other major Tokyo neighborhoods (in my opinion).
Avoid restaurants in the building & the surrounding block. We tried a few when we were exhausted and starving, and they were all disappointing. The only disappointing meals we had our whole trip! (We have pretty low standards for food, and these meals were noticibly terrible even for us)
Great hotel if youre just looking for a clean place to crash after being gone all day! (Assuming you're comfortable navigating Shinjuku Station)
