The location is brilliant - near the trains and the heart of Shinjuku (but the hotel is out of the noise and the lights). The staff spoke English and were really helpful - they gave us maps and told us which trains to catch. There's a little food place down the road. The free wifi was great.close

Located not too far from the main Shinjuku area but not too close where it gets too loud. Quiet place but it was hard to find. Look for the sign on the main street.

Not bad for business travellers. Off the beaten path but not too far to walk to main busy areas of kabukicho and shinjuku station. Very reasonably priced for tokyo!

Very clean. Large comfortable beds. Tiny bathroom. People speak English and are very helpful. Email them to send you address in Japanese to give to taxi Y2500 from station. Food places nearby. Airport train and bus stop at Shinjuku

The staff were helpful and spoke excellent English! I would absolutely stay here again!close

The staff are very helpful and friendly, the location is excellent (central Shinjuku, with easy access to anywhere else through the subway). I'm tall so I was afraid the beds might be japanese sized.　They arent. In short, its fairly simple accomodation, but what it does, it does well.close

The staff at the reception counter speaks English, is very helpful with directions and suggestions (e.g., to reserve a seat on the Narita Express train in advance). All in all a perfect location and wonderful service. Free wifi or ethernet connection in room.

I personally did not need an awesome place to stay, just a convenient, nice, silent and comfortable place to sleep, so I can recommend the Tateshina. To those people who need English speaking staff, this place is also recommended.close

The location of this place is great and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are small, but for the price and the location, it's not a problem. This is a 'hotel' (and there are several Japanese business men there) more than a hostel, so if you are looking to meet people this is...

Budget hotel, but if on a small budget then it is definitely value for money. One downside is that the hotel is hard to find so it may be wise to take the location down in Japanese as the taxi drivers didn`t know where the hotel was and also couldn`t speak english. It took us three taxi drivers...

Quite a bit of places to shop and go out to around Shinjuku. This was my first time here in Tokyo and the place was a bit hard to find from Shinjuku Station.... walked and found San (3) Chome station and from there was able to find exit C7 and finally make sense of the map and the chome areas. C7 exit is really close and right by a intersection between 3 chome and 5 chome.close

The good thing about this hotel is it is relatively cheap and it is at Shinjuku. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The Internet access is a plus as well. The downside is that is very far away from Shinjuku station - If you intend to go to the hotel from Shinjuku station itself, please...

The shower head was broken, the room was incredibly small, the lamp was some gaudy yellow 100 yen plastic lamp. For what they charge for this place, it is clear that they could care less about using some of the money to refurbishing. All they care about is making themselves richer. The only good thing about this place is the location, which is pretty decent, but there are tons of hotels in the area. Look elsewhere.close

The location is excellent. It is 5 minutes walk from Kabukicho and 15 minutes on foot from JR SHinjuku Station. You can go anywhere in Tokyo within an hour including walking time. This is a huge advantage in a massive city like TOkyo. However, the hotel is located in where quiet neighborhood starts. So you don`t have to worry about urban noises and neon lights. Do your stuff and just come back for comfort. Although the room is tiny, the staffs speak English very well and they have a lot of experience in hosting foreigners. Main types of the clients are Japanese businesspeople who missed their last train to their suburb home or foreign budget travellers like me. I think that this hotel deserves higher reommendation. I really love this place.close
