The hotel is situated in a central location near Shinjuku Sanchome station, offering a convenient stay with well-equipped rooms. While the presence of predominantly middle-aged male guests may be off-putting for some, the addition of a women-only area would enhance the experience. Overall, a decent option for a short stay.

The hotel is ideally located with fantastic surroundings and 24x7 snack options. The capsule area is quiet but lacks spacious waiting areas and efficient lift service. The rooms offer accessibility challenges for luggage but provide a socializing space on level 8. Value for money could be improved.

The hotel is located smack in the heart of the busiest part of Shinjuku tourism, making it super convenient. The rooms are pretty clean though the Roman-Grecian style may not be everyone's cup of tea. Service is top-notch, and the pajamas and stocked toiletries are a nice touch. The location is excellent being just a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku station, though the Kabukicho red light district proximity might not suit all. Dining options are alright, with the possibility of grilled cheese. Overall, a great central spot with a hint of smelly shoe changing but still very convenient.

I loved staying at this hotel! The onsen showers were a unique experience, and having lockers nearby was so convenient. The location was fantastic, right by lively Golden Gai and close to public transportation. The traditional dishes at the restaurant were delicious, but the sleeping area could get a bit noisy. Overall, a great value for money!

The capsule room was mostly filled with middle-aged men, which made us a bit uncomfortable for an extended stay. It would be nice to have a separate room for women. The location is conveniently situated in the middle of Shinjuku but close to the red light district. The hotel provides artificial onsen pools and a big screen TV but lacks a cozy atmosphere for socializing.

Staying at this hotel was like experiencing a mix of staying in a hostel dorm with enclosed bunk beds, having a place to sit down during downtime, and using a small locker room. The room's locker was on a different floor but not very convenient due to size constraints, leading to items being left in the open.

The hotel offers a unique, Roman-Grecian style for male guests staying more than one night. The room decor, featuring Greek faces and Ionic/Doric columns, may be too extravagant for some.
