Shinjuku Skyview Serenity Duplex Villa

They sent the key number via email the day before check-in, so we were able to enter the accommodation without any issues upon arrival. It was a clean and cost-effective place for a large family trip. Having an elevator made carrying luggage easy. There were about three subway stations within a 20-minute walk of the accommodation, and there were also cherry blossom spots nearby. Among the nearby subway stations is Takedanobaba Station, which is near Waseda University. Much like the entrances of universities in Korea, there were restaurants and bars. Although small, there were stores like Don Quijote and Uniqlo, as well as large supermarkets that were cheaper than Don Quijote, allowing for more affordable shopping.

Disliked

The shower room looked a bit old and somewhat dirty, but there were no issues with using it. The water pressure was a little weak during the shower.

Liked

Spacious and easily accessible area. Everything very clean.

Disliked

I found it a bit far from the center, but nothing that can't be overcome with a taxi.

Liked

Transportation is convenient (located between Takadanobaba and Ochiai stations, with direct bus access to Takadanobaba), there are two supermarkets across the street, a drugstore a short walk away, and many restaurants nearby (the Gangnam restaurant downstairs is delicious!). The interior space is spacious and well-equipped.

Disliked

The provided clothes hangers are far too few for a large number of people staying in the hotel and doing a lot of laundry! The Shinjuku Fire Station is only 300 meters south, so the sirens will be very loud. The provided recycling bins are too small (specifically for combustible waste and plastic bottles).

Liked

The property is very large; there were four of us, but it could have accommodated more. The location is close to the metro, the house is nice and spacious, and the staff is helpful and ready to solve any problems.

Disliked

The biggest problem was sleeping because during our entire 6-night stay, ambulances and police cars passed by with sirens blaring, and even megaphones, from 3:00 to 4:00 in the morning. This was the only downside, but it was a real problem because we always had fragmented sleep.
