The room was a bit small, but it had all the essential amenities. The bathroom was quite tiny, and it would be cramped for two people. If you want a Tokyo Tower view room, make sure to book the room type shown with the Tokyo Tower in the picture and request 'tower view' in your notes. During the May Day holiday, the Tokyo Tower lights shut off at midnight. Breakfast was a bit pricey, costing an additional 150 or 190 per person (can't quite remember the exact amount), but the variety was excellent, and the freshly made cheese scrambled eggs were delicious. You can see the Tokyo Tower from the breakfast restaurant. The lobby is beautiful, and they offer luggage storage on both check-in and check-out days. The staff were all very friendly.

Very satisfied with this hotel apartment I booked! highly recommended! ! Too many benefits! I have stayed at a hotel in Shibuya before. It is 12 square meters for 2k a night. I have to walk sideways with a suitcase. I can't put my luggage on the bed. And compared to the rails, my colleagues who have a poor sleep change the hotel overnight. 😂 Having this experience, I am charmed by the so-called hotel in Shibuya Shinjuku Ginza. The same budget is below 2k. This Fleg Dongma cloth has a 40-square-meter kitchen, dry and wet separation of wind and toilet, large dining table, large refrigerator (freezing and refrigeration is much better than the hotel's small minibar, bought a lot of ice cream), Enough hangers and washing machines, couches and TVs. In short, it is very refreshing and complete facilities, washing powder, pesticides, deodorant spray, hand sanitizer, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Toothbrush, toothpaste, cleanse and so on. Towels and bath towels press the head, we two, he gave two sets. You can bring your own. Kitchen utensils and facilities are complete, cups, dishes, knives, forks and chopsticks are complete. The garbage is divided by yourself, simple recyclable bottles and cans and other dry garbage cans are separated, the garbage room is on the left hand side of the entrance on the ground floor, and you can bring it downstairs when you checkout. We live on the top floor with a small balcony. Overall it is quite quiet, there are not many cars around, the subway is downstairs and there is a drug store and a supermarket is particularly convenient. Going out is the tower, go to a few net red seats on foot, no longer have to envy people. But I recommend walking around. In fact, many seats are very good. There are too many net red people to queue up.

Honestly, I'm extremely disappointed with my stay at this hostel... But I'd like to point out that it was clean, the women's dorm had plenty of sinks, and the capsule itself had a curtain. Cons: 1. A huge negative for me is that the kitchen is only open from 8-9 a.m.; I'm not there during that time. I couldn't get in for four days, and the kitchen is important to me because I often cook for myself. 2. There's no common area/lounge area, so I had to eat outside by the door, in the cold. It's terrible. 3. You have to enter a code everywhere, on every door and even in the elevator. I was constantly afraid of losing my key with the codes. 4. Luggage storage is also only available until 9 a.m., which is inconvenient. Overall, if you don't need a kitchen, it's fine. If you do, it's a poor choice.
