TOKYO ICHIBAN SHINJUKU

I had a good stay here and it was not as bad as what others commented (which made me doubtful before coming, or perhaps depending on the room you get, am not sure). And in fact they were still very much booked. - Location is good: It is near train stations and the korean town. Plenty of eateries, kombini with walking distance. - Hygiene OK after changed bedsheets: The room I have stayed was acceptably clean and decent (of course don't expect dustless, it's like an apartment in Tokyo). Except the bedsheets had stained and hair that needed to change. Their response were quick and immediately someone came to change all bedsheets. Otherwise it's all good. - Space sufficient: I had 2 big luggages, putting along the corridor/room, just be smart about it (the room was bigger than most nearby hotel rooms that charges double the price). - Bathroom is good, comes with hairdryer, washine machine, soap, shampoo, hangers.... Just no toothbrush/paste, small problem. All was great. - Towels had some linen crumbs coming out, I had to wash them but probably cause it's old. However as long they are clean, am fine, you can wash them. - Shoe cabinet had plenty of umbrellas, which I didn't know and it was so useful cause it rained so much. - Balcony area was cool, but I didn't had time to use it. - The responder in Agoda (am not sure if it is direct translation) that gave me a shock caused it sounded a little like a gangsta boss vibe. However, their service is actually OK, could be language barrier as long we have mutual respect. I like this cause it was a local stay vibe, they don't come in to clean during your stay which gives you privacy. Just keep it tidy and clean on your own.
