Blue Empire Hotel

Everything was well organized. The directions were specific, the staff were very helpful and spoke English fluently, location was perfect, the room was clean and set up to the way it was ordered, great price for the amount time stayed, all the amenities in the room worked perfectly. It was like staying in an apartment.

This was one of the weirdest stays we've ever had. The "hotel" doesn't have a check-in desk on site. You actually check in at "Hotel Empire in Shinjuku" which is a few blocks away on a different street, which is not really made clear at all when booking. Also you have to give a ¥10,000 yen deposit at check-in, which is a first for me living in Japan. My wife checked in before me and said it was a really strange experience and that she felt unsafe in the area surrounding the hotel alone as a female at night. The hotel room itself is incredibly narrow and the walls are INCREDIBLY thin. There are doors between each room and the next, and there is a gap between those doors and the floor which is so wide that light shines through from other guests' "apartments" and that I could hear the neighboring guest cough/clear his throat quite loudly even though he wasn't doing it all that loud. It sounded like he was in our room. Despite the room being narrow, it *is* long, so it doesn't feel super tiny. There was also a loft with another bed that we didn't climb up to because the note by the ladder made it seem like a dangerous liability that somehow the guest is responsible for rather than the hotel... As far as amentities go, however, you have a washing machine, a microwave, fridge, and a desktop PC that I guess is available to use, but we didn't turn it on. It was definitely a weird experience in general that I wouldn't repeat.

이동이 편리하고 오쿠보역에서 짱 가까워요 주변에 편의시설도 가깝고 돈키호테도 가까워서 좋았어요 화장실이 분리되어있어서 편리하네요

住宿都很好，只是分AB館，很不方便，而且B館無人館，半夜有人在猛敲門，真實的是嚇**了......

10000 엔화를 보증금으로 내고 받는다 해도 여행 끝나는데 그 돈을 어디다 쓸까요.. 대신 여권을 맡긴다 해도 면세 혜택을 받지도 못하고요..

名字聽起來高大上，有點上當受騙的感覺，其實就是個民宿，非常吵雜，環境惡劣
