Compact stay near Shinjuku

train stations free umbrellas coin laundry

This accommodation is near two train stations and many shops. Free umbrellas was available and the cafe is just at the entrance. My room had a mini fridge. I like the microwave, drink machine and coin laundry are on the second floor.

The room was tiny and difficult when two people was navigating with luggages.

limited natural light annoying fan

The room felt cramped even for one person. I would not recommend a "Single Room" for two people. My room faced a wall, so natural light was limited. The constant sound of the bathroom fan was annoying. Reporting it to reception didn't resolve the issue. I expected more from this stay.
