Tokyo Kokuryo Shrine Hotels

"The good parts: The front desk staff were very helpful when I needed to call the airline on a local Japanese telephone number, allowing me to use the front desk phone without charge. The location is convenient for this price point. There is an underground passageway from Shinjuku station straight to the hotel, open until 23:00. (Though difficult to find, looking for the entrance to the Shinjuku subway line should put you in the right tunnel) There are convenience stores and restaurants in the same building. Not so great stuff: The rooms are small, even by Tokyo standards the space to move around the bed is tight. The rooms are not even slightly sound proof. It sounds like they put up standard stud walls with simple plasterboard. You can hear people in other rooms talking, snoring and banging around. They give you ONE low quality pillow upon checkin. You want more pillows? They put a small amount more in the corridor each day for first come first served. Reception simply tells you to check there. The TV is the worst hotel TV I have seen in a long time. The toilet is unnecessarily LOUD! Sit down? LOUD. Flush? LOUD. Refilling the tank? LOUD. I have never come across a toilet this unnecessarily loud. The provide one medium sized towel and one hand towel. You can put a sign on the door to just provide a new set. But they will come in after 3 days, clean and remove any extras. The laundry room is far too small for this size if hotel. It needs to be twice the size."

"An Oasis of Calm in the middle of Tokyo. Situated in the relatively quiet Shimo-Tikazawa neighborhood, and on a pedestrianized street, the Mustard Hotel was a lovely relief after a day of facing Tokyo crowds. You can sit on the expansive terrace and watch locals walking their dogs, riding their bikes. The coffee bar, which provides the breakfast is great, and the bar, open in the evenings was also a laid-back treat. Rooms are not huge, but everything is very clean and modern, and the staff was more than helpful on several occasions during my stay. Excellent choice!"

"Stayed at this hotel with my partner and our 8 y/o daughter. Choosen based on proximity to the start of the Tokyo Marathon which I was a participant. Hotel and staff were fantastic, we booked two rooms and I emailed shortly before arrival asking if they could be close to each other and they gave us rooms next to each other. All the staff had a smile on their faces and were always happy to help. Rooms are not huge (but it's Tokyo!) but more than adequate and had a good sized wet room / bathroom. Walking distance to main Shinjuku station and a great base for sightseeing. And what's not to like about a hotel with a massive Godzilla Head!!!!"

"Location, location, location. A great hotel near all"

"Very clean, new, well maintained property. 1 minute walk from metro station. No noise during night, even in busy Tokyo. Would rent again!!!"

"Nice hotel"

"Great hotel in great location staff where amazing - couldn’t do enough for us . Room cleaning though - we got extra towels , robes and slippers on day two but they didn’t take the towels slippers and robes from day before? The room was very compact so little space for clothing ( no wardrobes) , and limited space for our luggage !"

"Room is a little small, but the convenience of the location, good cleanliness and top notch service by the staff more than covers for it."
