"One of the best locations to stay in Tokyo! Takadanobaba Station is literally across the road which is on the JY Yamanote line the main train line in Tokyo. This makes seeing all areas of Tokyo easier. There is also a 711, Lawson, and Family Mart within 2 minute walk. Sakae Dohri street and tons of amazing food options within 5 minutes. Also next to a Donquijote. Staff were incredibly nice and helpful for any needs you may have. They helped my luggage forward to my next hotel in Kyoto and any...

They are right outside the Takadanobaba train station which has the JR Yamanote line which will take you everywhere. Great price, and rooms are relatively spacious for a tokyo hotel. 5 stars"

"It's a nice hotel with about a 5-7 minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. 7/11 about 1 minute away. Not a whole lot of dining options close, but still walkable. Check-in was a tad tricky at first, but everything was simple once it was done. Bear in mind, there are 3 good twin beds, but the room is tiny. Like, no place to put your suitcases. We crammed ours between the beds and did a lot of sideways walking in the room. If you can get a good price (hard to do around Shinjuku), then go for it. "

"Loved this hotel. The view from the rooms is spectacular. Starbucks in the lobby. You are in the heart of Shinjuku with bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The bed was the most comfortable I slept in during my 3 weeks in Japan. And the fact that the Aiport Limosine bus to Narita leaves from just outside the hotel doors is THE best way to finish a trip without stress. And I didn’t even mention the breakfast buffet - it was excellent! I am still thinking about the avocado toast. "
