Stayed there for a weekend as a first-timer in Tokyo with no knowledge of Japanese and found the hotel great and very convenient. First of all, the location can hardly be bet. The hotel is within easy walking distance of JR Shinjuku station as well as several subway stations. Navigation around the hotel to and from those stations is very easy. Proximity to JR Shinjuku means you have a direct train connection to Narita airport without having to change trains at Tokyo main-station, which is usually extremely crowded and difficult to navigate, especially with luggage. Also very close, there is Takashimaya, a huge department-store.
Check-in and check-out were very efficient and reception was always very helpful when we had any questions. The hotel itself is rather new, our room was one of the bigger ones on the top floor (35th) with a great view of the city. The room was well-equipped, spacious and clean.
We did not have breakfast at the hotel and tried Krispy Kreme doughnuts instead, following advice in previous reviews. I highly recommend the classic glazed doughnuts there. Also, there is Starbucks just a few steps away.
All-in-all, a very positive experience. We payed around 25.000,- Yen per night for the superior room and found that very good value for what the hotel offers.
