Spent 4 nights at the Okubo Hotel Hawaii and really enjoyed my stay. The reception is open all night, the staff is friendly and my room was comfy and spacious(I had a Japanese style room). The Okubo train station is literally 1min away. As other reviewers have mentioned, you can hear the trains, but they don't run from around 11PM to 5AM and even after they start running, I didn't find the noise to be very loud. For light sleepers, I'd still recommend earplugs. The Shin-Okubo station is 5min away. All in all, I had a wonderful stay here and would definitely recommend it!

There was no free water provided - that was the only downside for me. There is tea and a kettle, though.

Exactly like the photos, big enough space in the room for large suitcases, was clean and reasonably quiet considering it was right near the train station.

Only thing was the pillows were very thin which we weren’t used to but other than that it was great.

The hotel room was much more spacious then what I expected of a Japanese business hotel. The location is 5min away by foot from Okubo station and it’s easily accessible from Shinjuku. Conbinis and restaurants can be easily found in the vicinity.

The pillow was so so flat it provided zero support and it wasn’t possible to have additional pillows. There are 4 floors with quite steep stairs so if you have big luggages, maybe ask for a lower floor room. The area at night might have some homeless people rooming around, so do be careful.

The staff was very friendly and provided us with a very heartfelt welcome. They helped a lot with our planing for the day even tho there was a slight language barrier. The room had everything we needed and was just practical, nothing fancy but that simplicity was exactly what we where looking for. There was a vending machine and a microwave on the ground level and a lunch room which was great. Smoking is possible outside in a very clean area. The cleaning was very good, daily fresh towels. The location of the hotel was amazing, right next to 2 stations and you could walk until Shinjuku. A lot of restaurants, convenient stores and everything else you might need.

No elevator but thats not to bad.

Great value place in an awesome location- right outside the local JR station and a quick 3-5 min walk to the Yamanote line. Great to walk back from Shinjuku when the trains stop running. The location is definitely the best part about this place. Good value if you don't mind a somewhat spartan hotel. Staffed 24/7 and seem to speak basic english and were helpful when we locked ourselves out. Detergent is provided in laundry room. AC/heating worked great. Room was clean aside from bathroom with minor gnat problem

Gnats in bathroom, had to clean them from the bathtub before entering, thin pillow. Have to leave room key before leaving- not a minus but an interesting quirk. No elevator, steep stairs so beware. One of the dryers was down for maintenance and took a while to dry a single load- these are residential appliances and not your typical coin-operated commercial machines.

The bathroom has everything it should, I walked a lot in the city during my two-day trip in Tokyo, so it was really nice to have jakuzi every evening to relax. Check in was good since I left luggage at the front desk when I arrived earlier than check in time, when I came back to check in my luggage was already in the room. The location is accessible to either subway station near. The neighborhood is quiet.

There is no lift in the building, so if you have large heavy luggage, you have to move them down stairs by yourself when you check out since the front desk barely answers the phone. The stairs are steep and narrow. Be careful.

The location was awesome, could be in all the central places in a few minutes. It was clean and the staff were very helpful. I would totally stay there again!

I didn’t know they was no elevator for the luggage but I didn’t check anyway, it isn’t their fault.

Booked this as we had to change our Tokyo dates last minute and this was one of the few left in our price range. The value for money is great. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location with one station next door and the other a 5 minute walk away. The room was comfortable if not a little bit sterile / bereft of character. It was also quite big by Japanese standards.

The dryer upstairs didn’t really work at all - clothes still very damp after one hour in the dryer. No lift so not very accessible - luckily we were on the bottom floor.

I stayed for 7 days and It was so clean, housekeeping checked in regularly. The air conditioner was a life saver. The walls are sound proof, I couldn’t hear my neighbours. And there is a coin washing machine that was very convenient. It was really worth the price.

My room (307) was facing the station so it was a bit noisy. And trains were passing every 5 minutes. I wish there was breakfast included.

The location is very good. Right next to the MRT. Close to Korea Town in Japan. Lots of restaurants and places to eat nearby. Excellent locations on the Green line to get anywhere you need to go in Tokyo.

The rooms are small. There aren't really any views or windows. The beds are hard (from what I hear, standard for Japan, but somewhat like military barracks bedding to US citizens.
