Stayed here for four nights at the beginning of our trip. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The bathroom is combined bath/shower and toilet in the same room which might not be best for more people staying in one room. We were three people and there were some traffic jams while getting ready in the morning. This hotel is about a 14 minute walk from the train lines that take you to Shinjuku and Shibuya then a 30 minute train, which made our travel time in between longer then I was hoping for.

If they had night tables on both sides, it would be an improvement. And only Japanese channels on the TV (in contrast to other hotels I have stayed at in Japan), and no "bilingual" button on the remote either. But these are my only (very mild)...
