8.2(2817)10/10 We stayed here for 2 nights before flying up to Niseko for a week of skiing. I hadn’t yet booked accommodations for when
Great location, incredible staff, very clean, convenient cafe / bar outside lobby, quick walk to multiple subway stops, great bars & restaurants, etc. At the same time it’s located on a very street…the perfect place to stay in and around Shinjuku

6/10 Pleasant
Location - Just a 5 minute walk to the nearest train station, also just a 10 minute walk to main Shinjuku shopping area. Because it's tucked away from the main area, it's super quiet at night and yet safe because it's still in a pretty central area. Tons of food options nearby so you'll never go hungry
Facilities - Toilets are clean, showers really good
Reception - Helpful, friendly and kind

7/10 Good
I really liked that I was able to work from the coffee shop most of the day even though the WiFi wasn't the greatest. The concrete counter tops made it for a solid work desk.

8/10 Modern and cool spot for young people who enjoy the nightlife of the area.
Modern style and cool vibe. Small but well laid out rooms. I liked the ability to open the window in the shower to let in fresh air. Walking distance to great food in authentic little alleys.

5/10 Close to the train station. A good place to have as a base, but not somewhere to chill out in your r
The staff were incredible. Very friendly and accommodating.

10/10 Brilliant location & design
A great use of space in every room & area of the place. Travelling with my 83 year old mum (very fit) and the lovely young staff were so kind to her when I wasn't around for the week we were there. The room is compact and we were only 1 to a room, but the use of space and the modern amenities is unbeatable. Loved the area, it's Korea Town so more of that village vibe (and more interesting) than the neon lights of Shinjuku, which is 5 mins away by foot.

5/10 Great location but not much else going for it
Well-located within walking distance of a couple of metro stations and on a quiet street; modern bathroom fittings with nice toiletries

7/10 Convenient location , stylish look but needs some care for the detail .
Stylish look and the Cafe is with good taste. The location ! It is behind main busy spot so that it's quiet at night.

9/10 Superb
As most Tokyo hotel room goes, space is a bit compact but sufficient for a few nights stay and the bed provided one of the best sleeps I had in awhile. It is also tastefully designed in a modern way. The location being close to the Shin-Okubo station made getting around town easy.

10/10 Relaxing and Fun
I loved this area of town. Super close to convince stores and to restaurants. It was easy navigating through the city. The train station is about a 5 min walk from the hotel which is nice. I also loved the cafe!! They offer delicious pastries, coffee, tea, and more!! Hotel staff was super friendly. I will definitely be booking in the near future!

8/10 Great place, down the street from all the Shinjuku action.
Good location. Nice shower. Laundry and baths connected if you need it. Cool that a cafe is connected. Plenty of spots to sit and chill in the cafe, outside the cafe, and on the roof of the cafe.

5/10 not 5 star
They advertised a photo of the room as having Aesop toiletries. To my dismay, when I arrived at the room, the hotel does not actually provide Aesop for guests. Thus, it already loses stars and points for credibility due to misadvertising. The rooms were small but clean. Breakfast was alright. Won’t be staying again

9/10 Great hotel close to Shinjuku.
The staff were so friendly and helpful, the extra amenities in the room were great, I especially loved the pyjamas. The cafe had great food for breakfast. The rooms were very clean. The location was great, close to Shin Okubo station and a short walk into Shinjuku.

10/10 Great second stay.
It was our second time staying at the hotel. We found it excellent again for our one night stay before heading back to the uk.
We left our luggage in the airport storage so the room felt more spacious this time. Excellent shower and close to the train. Area is perfect for exploring Tokyo.

2/10 Be careful of Hotel Cen Diversity in Tokyo
For $500 p night, it was the biggest disappointment ever. The room is unusually poky and small with no TV, and staff who are kind but speak very little English. I would never stay here again. Their café downstairs can’t make a decent coffee, and has a very limited menu.

6/10 Small rooms but new
The rooms are really really tiny but we managed to make it by stuffing a lot of our luggage under the bed. Can be claustrophobic for some.
We had a room that was near the main lobby and near the lift and I didn’t like it that we could hear guests coming in and out.
The surrounding of the hotel was in a bit of a fishy place as we could see hookers standing around. But it is still relatively well litted with people walking around most of the time.
Walking distance about 5-10 min walk to nearest train station. Convenient enough when you don’t have much luggages. Was in for a hell when we had to drag them as the station didn’t have escalator or lift!!

8/10 Great Value
The hotel’s modern but also has a great homey interior. Aircon was cold, bed was comfy, and good showers. The space might be a bit tight for big luggage, but I did just fine with one luggage and one travel bag. Location is great, around 10 mins walk to the heart of Shinjuku area and around 15 mins walk to the big JR station. Small stations also around, with 7-10 mins walk, so don’t be afraid of not having easy access! The staff were polite and helpful too.

8/10 Modern hotel in a central location
Hotel Cen has great modern design. The room was small and were were worried about the glass bathroom design but don’t fret: there are privacy shades that can be rolled down.
Good location close to multiple train lines. Friendly front desk staff made for easy check in and food recommendations.
Small room but you can see that from the photos.

10/10 Modern, clean but small
As the title suggest, it is a modern hotel with up-to-date design, very clean too, very attentive staff, but the room is a very small if you are staying in a with 2 people, it is located in an alleyway, overall I had very pleasant stay there
