Shin-Okubo Sekitei Reviews

location is very excellent as it is close to shin okubo station(yamanote line) and close to lots of asia restaurant. the hotel is very beautiful as it has japanese style room and also the hallway(i like it!).the room quite small but complete with all of the facilitites.i surely recomended this hostel

We had an amazing stay here, the location is perfect very close to the train station so you can be in the centre of the busy areas in minutes but still feel like you are staying in a cute neighborhood. Our room was beautiful with the traditional futon beds that proved excellent for my sore back and the staff were exceptionally polite, helpful and spoke good English.

Short walk from train. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room had plenty of space especially for Tokyo. Very comfortable sleep on the futon.

The staff are really polite and provide a wonderful experience for the stay. The location of the hostel is convenient for travelling around Tokyo. Looking forward to visiting again.

Good location, helpful service and clean and well maintained traditional Japanese rooms.

Very nice hostel, lovely room with everything you need. Quite near the Yamanote line which is very convenient for exploring Tokyo. The staff is very helpful. Thank you!

Nice big room, with wifi. Staff very friendly and helpful, JR station close. It was a pleasant stay.

24 hour reception, helpful staff, personally I enjoy sleeping on the floor but note sleeping area is not big enough to put both mattresses down, had to stack one on top of the other. very comfortable though. enjoyed the free green tea too.

Staffs was very friendly and helpful ..Room was nice and clean...But one thing to complain is the bad smell from the toilet....

This was our first hotel in Japan, and the experience was wonderful. It is within walking distance from Shinjuku station, and very close (2 min) from Shinokubo station. Hotel is wonderfully decorated, clean and nice. It is a bit tight and rooms are tiny, but this is Tokyo after all, what do you expect. Staff are simply wonderful and helpful people. Rooms are very japanese and nice, traditional style. Would stay again!

Excellent hostel! Brilliant location, so close to the train station and very close to major places in Tokyo. Couldn't have asked for better there, and at a great price!! Incredibly helpful staff, we were offered (much appreciated) extra futons to sleep on! And we were also given tips on the cheapest way to get to Narita airport! Room was a good size, and with a good en suite too. Would definitely recommend.

The room might be too austere for the money you pay, but you will hardly find anything cheaper around Shinjuku (15/20 min walk). It´s clean, english speaking staff, 24h reception...but the check-out time is just 10am, so not a good choice if you want to go out at night

It was a nice hostel, and the staff was excellent and very kind. The facilities (shared small kitchen on the top floor, and fridge and electric kettle in the room), the rooms (cosy and with enough space for opening the luggage easily), everything was great.

Thank you for a very enjoyable stay! We liked being outside of central Tokyo and able to stay in area with locals. The staff were a fantastic help, friendly always trying to help. Facilities extremely clean and in great condition, thanks again!

This place gave a good feel of traditional japanese accommodation. However, the rooms were very musty and smelly from the bathroom and we were not able to open any windows. The water pressure on the shower was pretty poor also. On the upside, it was very clean and the staff spoke good English.

I strongly recommend doing your laundry at a nearby laundromat instead of at the hotel. Their laundry machines take a very long time (90 minutes to wash, 50 minutes to dry) and are not very effective. I had to dry one batch of clothes twice. If you overload the washing machines, they will keep washing your clothes without end, and you will have to manually remove them from the extremely cold water. The staff, though very polite, was unhelpful in solving my washing machine dilemma.

Friendly staff. Toilet has this bad odor.

This is was a wonderful place to stay. The staff was very friendly, the facility was clean and well kept, and was located near a fun, lively part of Tokyo.

Good experience sleeping on mats. Wasn't the most comfortable thing. Good location, close to train station, restaurants and bars.

Service is superb! Staff is very helpful, friendly n proactive! Cleanliness is top as well n the room has good warm heater. The location is good as its located near train station n the best shopping district!
