“In my opinion, its prime location in Kabukicho makes it ideal for exploring Tokyo's entertainment and cultural hubs. I think that the in-room amenities, like the original mattress design and digital information system, add comfort and convenience. However, based on what I read, space is a real consideration, and some services might be inconsistent. Despite this, the hotel's commitment to varied dining and strategic location near Shinjuku station still, in my view, presents a compelling option.”
