We absolutely live everything about our stay in Pod Select!! The location is the most perfect part of Shinjuku!!! So walkable to the Kabukicho gate, Omoide Yokocho, the national gardens ect. The staff was very welcoming, and when my husband suddenly was in needed for a dentist care, one of the staff girls tried calling some clinics and in the end walked us in the rain towards one of them. We appreciate this extra mile so much!!! The room size as everywhere in Japan is very small, but we managed perfectly, you just need to be very precise and systematic :D But I should probably mention that if you're one of those travellers with 2-3 massive size luggages, there's no way you'll have space to open it or even fit it all in the room, it's a pod size after all. We loved how comfy the bed and pillows were. Good ventilation, a kettle inside the room and a microwave in the lobby area. Also, they provided free toiletries like moisturizer, shampoo, shavers, toothpaste ect. Overall we loved our stay in here and would love to come back one day, thank you!

Check in was straightforward and welcoming, and service was efficient. The room itself and the facilities felt a little bit small and old, but it was very clean. The bathroom was a sort of all-in-one cubicle that reminded me of one I'd encountered before in a cheap Ibis hotel, but it was considerably better and the bath and shower worked well. The room amenities elevated the experience, with unexpected freebies such as toothbrush and hair brush. There was no space for a wardrobe, but the two wall hooks and hangers did the job. In terms of items like irons etc, they could be requested from reception. Bed was quite solid but I prefer this anyway. Location on Hanazono-dori would be the main factor for people staying at this hotel. Right on Ni-chome, it's perfect for visiting the LGBT area as well as the rest of Shinjuku. Golden Gai is perhaps a 10-15 minute walk, and the San-chome subway station is just across the street. The main JR Shinjuku station is also around 10 minutes away for handy access to the Yamanote line. The lack of breakfast options isn't a problem as there is a Doutor and Tully's Coffee as well as a 7-11 one street away, and for late afternoon tea and light meals I'd recommend the Yuri Café Anchor just around the corner. In terms of value for money in this area, I think the Pod Select would be very hard to beat. It offers a comfortable stay at an incredibly good price.

The information in the room stated there were bread products as well as free tea/coffee in the reception for breakfast but I could only see the coffee machine - I may have just got there too late.

It has everything despite it being a small room. Mini fridge, kettle, hair dryer, TV, toothbrush, comb, towel, soap, hand wash, room deodorant. Free coffee, tea on the first floor. Washing machine and dryer free for the hotel go-ers to utilise.

Just note that the windows are not able to open and the property is a little dusty. No breakfast provided.

The location can't be beat, the staff are friendly and helpful, great A/C and wifi and the price can't be beat. This is not a luxury hotel, the rooms are compact (I mean, it's no secret, it's called a pod hotel) but it's a fabulous choice if you're looking for an affordable option in the middle of the action.

Nothing! We were so happy with Pod Select!

Basic accommodation in a small business-style hotel, but with a pleasing amount of small extras to make your stay more comfortable. Rooms clean. Front desk was always friendly and helpful. Perfect location for Ni-Chome and right beside the subway. JR Shinjuku is about 10-15 minutes walk. Conbini right around the corner.

Unfortunately appears to now be offering 'love hotel' style hourly rates. Hopefully this doesn't drag the quality of the hotel down.

Lovely little place in the heart of Shinjuku, not far from the station and attractions - the staff are exceptionally friendly and accomodating.

The bed was quite stiff, but when only using the room to sleep (and spending all day exploring) this is not a big problem.

The location is great if you’re going to enjoy the nightlife of Shinjuku. it’s near of a lot of bars and clubs, near the subway station, convenience stores and restaurants. The room is simple, but it’s very comfortable and the COSPA is good.

The fridge is too small, there’s no power plug near the bed, the air conditioning there’s no remote control and some installations are a little old, but it’s very clean. These are some points that I didn’t like, but the COSPA is good.

Location is quite central and close to many nightlife spots, room is clean, double bed is large enough, equipment is modern, staff is amenable, can't beat the price for that level of comfort.

The whole area around the hotel is very noisy all night long, even on weekdays. So better book a room on the top floors.

I liked the location, it’s close proximity to a train station, as well as the helpful staff that assisted us with our questions.

Great basic hotel in a fantastic location. Comfortable and a lovely respite from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. Very quite too. Excellent value for money
