The location is great, situated between Hatagaya and Hatsudai stations, and it's just one stop to Shinjuku. The price is also good, and the neighborhood is quiet. There's even a mini-bus that goes to Shibuya, Yoyogi Park, and Harajuku, plus a convenience store nearby!
However, the road noise is quite significant, and dust accumulates easily. The door to the terrace is right next to the bed, and since it opens directly onto the road, ventilation is a bit tricky. Also, the curtains are very thin; if you open the blackout curtains, you can see right into the building across the street, which was a bit awkward, haha. On the bright side, the room gets a lot of natural sunlight, which was lovely.
If they could just improve the soundproofing a bit, it would be even better.
I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo.
