This is a very old traditional family house. There are strict rules to keep the house clean and maintained. This is a family home where the owners decided to open up their home for a hospitality business. If you cannot follow the rules or keep an open mind about other cultures then this place isn’t for you. The rules include: -no street shoes in the house. House slippers are out in the foyer for guests to use. -no house slippers on the tatami straw mats. The mats are fragile and can mold easily. Don’t get water on them, no water bottles on them, and nothing heavy on them. Keep that in mind when you have your luggage. You’ll have to carry it into the closet -open the doors with dry hands. These doors are made out of paper -Keep your luggage as far into the closet as possible. The closet door is made out of paper. Luggage sticking out can damage them -switch into the bathroom slippers when using bathroom -there is a shared toilet upstairs and one shared toilet downstairs. -They have one shared shower downstairs. This is an old residential shower so don’t expect an American hotel shower. I stayed three nights and had a very comfortable and uneventful stay. This place doesn’t offer food, other than snacks when you check in. They do have a hot water pot and tea. I saw a small fridge and microwave outside my room, but never used it. I think those are for the guests. She will show you how to unfold the futon. Since the blanket is nice and fluffy, don’t lay on top or put anything on top of it. The futon is a typical Japanese bed. If you are a side or back sleeper, this bed might be too hard for you. I read that Japanese people like hard beds better because it hardens your body. There is a space heater and A/C unit in your room. I always try to support local business owners. The owner was very nice and spoke English relatively well. It’s well priced for the area. I appreciate the owners allowing us to open their home to share the Japanese way of living.

First time in Japan and the first hotel stay in the country! Location: Very convenient. It's only a 5-minute walk from two subway stations (Shin-Okubo and Okubo). Plus it's right behind a Don Quijote (you need to walk down the dark, shady-looking alley to the right of it with vending machines to find the entrance on the left) and there are plenty of 7-Eleven / Family Mart / Lawsons along the street. McDonald's and many other restaurants too. Shinjuku station is only about a 20-25 minute walk too. Can't complain here! Room: It's a huge room! Even by North American standards (coming from Toronto Canada). The bathroom is basically two different rooms, one with the toilet / sink, and the other has a jacuzzi with a separate stand-up shower spot. The bed was very firm, but found that to be the norm based on our other stays. The room size is definitely above average for Japan standards. Our room had several windows that looked out onto the street (read some reviews about boarded-up windows, but that wasn't our case). Cleanliness: Despite being a dated hotel, it was clean. No issues here. Service: Friendly but difficult to communicate due to the language barrier. We inquired about the Tsujiki market but they answered that they didn't know what it was... even after giving them examples of the fish/tuna auction. On rainy days, you can buy an umbrella for 500yen, but nearly all other hotels give them for free. Tid-bits: There's a flight of stairs you need to ascend before the lobby area. Not recommended if you have bad knees. Elevators are very small. Overall, a decent stay being the first time ever. Missed the size of the room in comparison to our other hotel stays but that's really it. I'd sacrifice the space for more modern facilities. Price was comparable to many other hotels in the area.

Book Tea Bed Shinjuku Gyoen

Good location, friendly staff, not clean

Reviewed By reselotta

This Hotel could’ve been so good. The intentions are there. Someone with taste has made the interior without having the finances. That’s obvious. Price is reasonable. Rooms are nicely set up. But it stops here. Its unfortunately not clean, the “tiles” in the bathroom is a wallpaper, the nice packaging for soap, shampoo is - a packaging - topped up with low cost products, towels thin, bed ok. It’s your choice - if you can stay here for as little as 7500/night and are willing to accept above. do it!

Best for travelling on a budget

Reviewed By Milka S

We initially booked the stay here due to a very competitive price but were not expecting a lot tbh. We were pleasantly surprised. LOCATION. The hotel is located close to the city center, 10 mins from the metro station, with a well-stocked grocery store just opposite of it. Are is a residential one and really quiet at night which for me was a plus. ROOM. For a 3 person room, it was relatively spacious (not big by any means, but organized in the way that does not make it claustrophobic) with a kitchenette and a bathroom. I loved how well-stocked it was - we were provided everything we may have needed, including phone chargers, bath towels, disposable hairbrushes and kitchenware. It was also absolutely spotless, which I really appreciate. STAFF. While some staff members were more fluent in English than others, they were always very nice and helpful. If I ever come back to Tokyo, I would make sure to stay there again.

Fine Hotel for the Shinjuku Disrict

Reviewed By pjbphd

I had things to do in the Shinjuku District of Tokyo before heading to another Perfecture and the Tokyo Business Hotel was recommended by a friend. I found the hotel well located and worthwhile for my needs. It is a Japanese hotel with futons and an on-site onsen. It is about 1/2 mile from Shinjuku Station and the crowded tourist and shopping district. For me this made it convenient yet quiet.

The location is amazing, walking distance to/from Shinjuku station but in a quiet street surrounded with nice restaurants and bars. The staff is super nice and very helpful answering questions and helping out. I had a great time chatting to the guy in the reception (I didn't catch your name sorry!). He spoke perfect English and gave me a lot of amazing tips of things to do in Tokyo. The Japanese breakfast is a nice extra. Cool experience overall! Please read the email they send to you beforehand, if you are looking for an isolated hotel room, this is not the place for you.
