For backpackers or travelers traveling light, it probably would suit. For travelers with luggage, be prepared to carry luggages up and down a narrow staircase.
Anna, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

My 1st U Hotel experience.
Sorry to say the room is cramp for my family of 3. The tv is way too high for comfort viewing. Washing machine is a plus but no dryer for clothes. Hang clothes all over room, not nice. Train noise, bearable.
Jeremy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the place we stayed. Only downside was there was no elevator and everything was cramped. But had above and beyond facilities for the tiny space including a dryer/washer, microwave, fridge, etc.

yuki, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Satisfied with the overall condition of the property. However, the building doesn’t have lift, so expect to carry the heavy luggage to walk up and down via just stairs. Also very close to the train track, can hear the noise when train pasts, having said that the property only about 2-3 mins walk to the train station.

8/10 Very good

Excellent use of space. Three large people shared the room comfortably.
Naoko, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location and facilities, but no room service, I stayed here for 7 days, so the room was quite dirty. It may be good to stay 2 or 3 days.

No daily room service
Overall is good except we stayed for 6 days, all the daily garbage create smell, no room service and not enough clean towels, we have to wash it.

10/10 Exceptional

Very easy to get around and thru were nice enough to put my luggage in the room.
Meylin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had small touches such as electrical outlets and usb ports for each bed, washing machine, drying rack, cutlery and plates, stove.
BRUCE, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room is a tight fit, there's no walking room but it's super convenient to stores, 7-11, the train, markets, and there are some lovely neighborhood walks. Be aware that there isn't an elevator (we were at the top of the very narrow 3 floor walk-up) but the room, and the tiny kitchenette is so sweet. The bathroom is great. Wonderful water pressure and the convenience that they not only provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but also toothbrushes and toothpaste and some very cute pjs. I absolutely would return.
Jeanine, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was relatively small, but the location was very convenient.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel had everything you need (toiletries, pj, kitchen, laundry) . Instructions were clear and organised. Bedroom small but enough for people with only carry on luggage. I really liked our permanency there.

Loong Chang, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, the room was very clean and the location was perfect, right next to the yamanote line! It was small for 3 people, if you brought in mid sized luggage you’d probably have to open it on the bed but we can’t complain, everything else was amazing. Thank you!

Beware if you have suitcases, they have no elevators.
Kalyani, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's a nice hotel with about a 5-7 minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. 7/11 about 1 minute away. Not a whole lot of dining options close, but still walkable. Check-in was a tad tricky at first, but everything was simple once it was done. Bear in mind, there are 3 good twin beds, but the room is tiny. Like, no place to put your suitcases. We crammed ours between the beds and did a lot of sideways walking in the room. If you can get a good price (hard to do around Shinjuku), then go for it.
Richard, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Check-in was confusing, support number didn’t work. Garbage pile beside the front door that smelt disgusting and the air conditioning smelt like urine. Blood smears in bathroom. Other then that the stay was fine, nice shower and clean beds. Enjoyed the abundance of towels as well as the local grocery and convience stores. Close by to train station aswell.
Dylan, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is very difficult to find via Google Maps. I knew this after reading reviews, and still had some challenges finding it. We stood around with all our suitcases until a local who worked in the area noticed us and asked if we were looking for the U-Hotel. Without him, who knows how long before we found it. Some more clear directions/images to help with finding the hotel would be very helpful. We arrived after sunset, so this was more challenging in the dark. To call this a hotel is also a little misleading. There is no front desk, staff or housekeeping. Check in and check out is through a pretty slow tablet. Our room was on the third floor. It is worth noting that there is no elevator in this building. We had five suitcases, this was a bit of a challenge for us. The unit is quite small and typical for Tokyo, but certainly manageable. While no housekeeping, the unit was clean and we were provided with 9 larger towels and 9 face towels which was more than sufficient for our short stay. There is a laundry machine in the room which is nice, although there is no detergent. The location is superb because it is right next to Takadanobaba station, however because of its proximity, you will hear and even feel the rumble of the trains throughout the night.
