Hotel Empire in Shinjuku

The hotel is nice, but the rooms may seem small by western standards since they are Japanese style. This was no issue for us in the 3 bed room. The only other thing I would say is checkout is a little odd since they just have an odd chute at the front for keys when you go. Staff spoke proficient English, but I also am able to get by with Japanese. Did not ask for any area information because we were only there one night. It is close to 2 train stations and was quiet when we stayed there. The wifi was a little difficult and the networks weren't all showing up. Would stay again, did enjoy the experience overall. :)

the location was great having been in the inside of a quiet community but very near the central hub and train station, it's like less than 100 steps away and you will be in the busy streets where the korean pop culture was in the air.

Great location. Near Shin-Okubo station, cheap eats and in Shinjuku! Would stay again. The light over our bed went out. We forgot to tell them. When we got home that night, it was fixed! Realize this is Japan, so rooms are Japan's standards not Western-size. Desk has limited English so use Goggle for directions. When arriving, recommend avoiding Shinjuku station, just too busy. Plus Shin Okubo is closer.

The place is nice bit far from jr station and the bathroom very small

The hotel is easy to reach, whoever is at the desk is very kind. Problems: needs repainting and renovation (room), we set the card “pls make the room” at 9:30 one day and once we came back in the evening it was not done. In the hard interaction (thanks google translation) we understood the room service is only in the morning. They saw a “don’t disturb” and then mever checked. The toothbrush etc are rarely given
