The room appeared clean and I liked the white sheets. I liked that our family room had two bathrooms. There were complimentary umbrellas downstairs to keep us dry in the rain. The neighbors were quiet. We liked the alley ways with restaurants and the local Family Mart that was in our area. There was a Don Quijote store within walking distance of us, coffee shops, and good eats like a quaint hole in wall fresh soup dumplings place. Too bad there was a mound of trash next to this property in the alley that never got picked up in two days we were there. The laundry machine in the property worked but it did not have heat to dry clothes thoroughly so we had to walk to a laundry mat to dry our clothes using a machine that utilized heat. Overall, our stay was comfortable.

We booked a 4-night stay here just before Christmas 2025. Just to be clear: this is not a hotel, but an AirBnB style of accommodation. The AC/heater was almost ready to retire, lots of dust on the weird green curtains, kinda dirty decorative pillows/blankets (the brown ones), dirty laundry machine, and it seems that someone actually lives here as there was a name on the front door. During our last night, we actually had a notice to vacate the premises as they were supposedly doing something illegal in regards to licensing. The only good thing about this place was the location as it was very central. In short, we wouldn't book here again.

My fella and I felt like giants in the room. He’s six feet tall and I’m five nine. There was a loft in the room that we didn’t have access to according to notes saying that they’d know if the ladder was used and we’d be charged a bunch of money if it was found that we touched it. It was a full on key for the room door instead of a card that was fun at first but later became annoying because it’s pretty bulky. The part of town was a bit rundown. I was uncomfortable walking around alone at night. All that being said, it was cheap and close to two train stations which was great. However, in hindsight I think I would have been happier spending another $100+ staying somewhere I wasn’t constantly hitting my head on things and to have a bathroom that was big enough to pull my pants up in instead of having to open the door and step out into the room to do it. We got what we paid for and it was fine for the three nights we were there but I won’t be staying there the next time I’m in Tokyo.

The lobby picture shown on the website is absolutely not true. You need to check in at one of the units of the hotel. Our first night was scary because a stranger came to our door, doorbells 4x and woke us up. We called the receptionist & responded quickly eventhough it was after 11pm. Our second night was ok.
The hotel is a budget-friendly, close to train station, restaurants and store.

Good accommodations, room is a decent size and has a small fridge and washing machine. Check in desk is not at this location but about a 1 minute walk.

Very convenient with a washer.

Pretty convenient, just a 3 min walk to the nearest subway station. The block however is remote from the main hotel and so there was a no front desk on site but about 2 minutes away round the block. We had an early morning flight out of Tokyo and had to wake the manager up in a another round om when ch was a touch embarrassing! And the room was tiny but it had a washer in the unit!

This area is in a great location to walk to various tourist sites and is a 5 minute walk to a central train station. It was extremely clean; the bed was comfortable and it was enough space for my partner and I to rest comfortably. If you're using this just as somewhere to rest your head it is ideal. However; the sleeping was terrible. The sound travels and depending on your neighbours this can prevent you from having any rest as I could hear footsteps constantly all night long and banging from the upstairs neighbours. You can also hear the neighbours talking. If you need proper rest this is not the place for you!!

Area was great and the apartment its self wasn’t bad at all, size was okay compared to other places I stayed in around Japan. My only issue was the staff. Unfortunately, extremely rude and unhelpful and had no idea what was going on, the person I communicated with over email and the person I spoke to in person at the hotel had conflicting rules. Was told not to listen to whatever the person who responded to my emails said because they change the rules daily which made absolutely no sense to me at all. I wouldn’t stay here again because of the unfortunate experience since there were several issues. It’s kind of sad as the area was great.

The hotel is very close to the JR station, but the soundproofing is not very good. The room has a washing machine, which is great, but it is very small and there is no place to hang clothes to dry.

Will not stay again

The location of this hotel is pretty good, and that is the olny good thing I can say about this place. You have to check in and then walk a around the building to get to your rooms. The path to your room is like a garbage dump. The AC in our room wasn't working. We had to talk to the clerk multiple times before they are willing to check the AC for us.

Misleading…

As an apartment, we were comfortable, really appreciated having two showers, two toilets, two sinks as we’re a family of four.

However, the photos and description provided by the hotel are misleading. One of the pictures shows a hotel tower… the description says the hotel is ‘connected’ to the train station. Neither is true. The ‘hotel’ is a small group of repurposed apartments. The apartments are clean and of good size. Things are in good condition. What is a bit shocking and unexpected is getting to an old small back street, having to go to their other ‘hotel’ to get checked in, having to leave an ID or a 10,000 yen deposit, etc, etc. If they were honest about what the property actually is I think the apartments would be well appreciated.

The space is enough for 2 persons. Very comfortable and the room has everything that we need. When we came in it was spotless clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again and recommend to friends. It is just minutes of walk to 2 train stations and very near to shopping centers, 7-eleven and restaurants. One thing that we didn’t like is that they don’t change bed covers and sheets. And the dusts that we left were still there even if they have cleaned the room. But aside from that, we really had a good stay.

Sensational. Almost brand new property - it's still a building site on Google Maps. We booked the family room which was incredibly spacious and provided 2 bathrooms for the 4 of us staying there. Great central location to Shinjuku and a short walk from Shin-Okubu train station. Lots of restaurants close by. Kids loved the loft beds. Staff were very helpful, stored our bags when we arrived early, spoke great english and even provided umbrellas when it started raining. The room was very clean and the provided house slippers kept it that way. 5 stars !!!!

We stayed here 2 nights after i read all the reviews for this hotel. Its very close to 2 train stations, very convenient. Lots of restaurants and stores. Highly recommend.

New and petit apartment with loft. It was like experiencing a Tokyo life for a few days. You need to give ¥10,000 cash for a deposit to a check-in counter in separate building.

Took ten minutes to check out because the clerk needed to check the room before clearing our credit card deposit. Clerk who did check-in was very good. Very convenient location.

Very neat and clean hotel in a quiet area near a station. Walking distance to the Shinjuku hub. Check-in is around the corner at another hotel but they provided clear instructions for this process. There is no lift to level 2 so be mindful. They also require a Y10,000 cash deposit or surrender your passport at check-in. I would have preferred a credit card security payment with a charge-back after check-out. We had a two bed loft which provided more space as we found beds in Japan are very small for two people, by Australian standards. Good value hotel overall.

The room was a good-sized room with a small kitchenette. I like that the toilet is separate from the shower room. I hated the fabrics of the small and large throw pillows and the runner mat, the fabric is filled with sequences which if rubbed to the skin can be irritating. The property owner should replace them with simple or plain fabric. They’re are not functional, useless and tacky looking.

Quarto pequeno mas muito limpo, com todas as comodidades, inclusive máquina de lavar. Perto da estação de metro e na região de Shinjuku. Ficaria tranquilamente novamente. Restaurante’s, lojas e serviços nas proximidades. Funcionários simpáticos.

タオルや寝巻き、歯ブラシなどのアメニティは順番準備されてました。
シャワーブースだけなのでゆっくり入浴はできませんが、大久保駅から近く、この料金で3人宿泊できたので満足してます。
ただ、上階からの音が夜中に気になったのが残念でした。

El.hotel esta muy bien ubicado, estas a unos pasos de la estacion Shin Okubo. Lo malo es que no hay nada de espacio para tener tu equipaje, entiendo que las habitaciones son pequeñas pero deberia de tener un espacio especial para las maletas, por lo que si llevas maleta grande no es opcion este lugar. El servicio de limpieza para la habitacion muy bien sin embargo el.aite acondicionado estaba muy sucio se ve que no les dan mantenimiento, por lo que respiras polvo asi mismo como las cortinas se veia y se sentia que les habia falta una buena lavada. El lugar es solo.para llegar a dormir, nada mas.

駅が近くて利用しやすかった。
飛行機の遅延で到着が遅れましたが
23時過ぎのチェックインも対応して頂けて助かりました。

駅チカで大久保、新大久保共に近くて、歌舞伎町からも徒歩圏内です。部屋も快適でした。ゴージャスなホテルがいい方は違うと思いますが、周りのお店は夜遅くまで開いていて、便利で、部屋内に洗濯機もあり、私たちはリピありです。
ありがとうございました。

事前に頂いた連絡ではエンパイアホテルでチェックインし、ブルーエンパイアにとのことでしたがエンパイアホテルに行くと工事中
仕方なく工事現場の人に聞いたらブルーエンパイアに受付があるとのこと
その連絡がなかったのが悪い点です

Easy to check in and out. Good location in Shinjuku. Small but clean rooms. No space for clothing and suitcases, but over all we were satisfied with the stay. Good living for the price we payed.

The front desk photo is WRONG and MISLEADING.

There is only a small door as \"FRONT DESK\"

NO LUGGAGE STORAGE is provided while website shows luggage storage.

Everything is fake. Room looks like apartment.

It is NOT recommended.
