Great location. Very close to multiple stations to allow taking different lines in Shinjuku area. On the very edge of Kabukichō district. Suitable for those who’d like to live close but not right in the centre of all the action (c.f. Hotel Gracery Shinjuku/Godzilla hotel, and a number of APA hotels). Did not feel unsafe at any point during our stay.
Great staff. Easy to communicate online and in-person. Very accommodating. Reassuring to have a property with 24hr staff onsite for assistance. All staff have perfect command of English which makes the stay stress free.
The apartment is part of the building/managed apartment called “G-Stays”. This is shown outside the building and throughout the property.
Beware of occasional noise from the nearby hospital. You will likely notice ambulance during your stay. Not a major issue. This applies to all properties around the Higashi-Shinjuku station (of which there are plenty in a similar price range).
Apartment room is slightly bigger than the typical room in this price range/area. The balcony which allows gust to hang washing is a plus. No washing machine available however. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Stove and microwave are useful.
We would recommend those wishing to stay for the convenience factor to consider this apartment. There are a number of hotels in this area which you may also like to consider if you prefer a more tradition “hotel” setting (Shinjuku Grandbell/E-Hotel/BSPK etc.)
