This place is incredible. As other reviews stated, don't let the "love hotel" status put you off. The rooms were bigger than standard rooms in Tokyo, the amenities were like no other hotel (better than 5* hotel), the staff, although a little language barrier, went way beyond to make sure your stay was comfortable. So clean, in-room whirlpool and sauna made me not want to leave. Quiet area but so much is so close and walkable. Higashi station is like 3 minute walk, and gets you anywhere you want to go in the city (connections sometimes). One thing I would say, if you have more than a backpack, take a taxi from Shinjuku station. I took limo bus into Shinjuku and rolled suitcase to hotel....next time I'll take a taxi from the station. It was dark upon arrival, and being my first time in Tokyo, it was a little tense walking to hotel. Don't let the area scare you after dark....as soon as I unloaded luggage and walked the area, I saw it was very safe and well patrolled by police. This hotel is amazing, and next time in Tokyo, it's a for sure stay here. Don't miss this one....it beats any 5 star hotel I've stayed in for quiet relaxation with amenities and staff that can't be beat!
