If you love the area this might be a hotel for you. We regretted staying here because we didn’t really like the area, and the hotel isn’t cheap when you think of what you get. Very small rooms, but I guess that’s common in Japan. That said we were overall satisfied with our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful, but we will stay somewhere else next time we visit Tokyo (mostly because of the area).

I think hotel cen is a great option for the price point. The hotel is a bit less nice than the photos (but overall well kept and fine) and it’s very conveniently located next to the subway. The staff was friendly and the rooms (although small) did the trick.

Everything about Hotel Cen was great. More of a personal matter the area was a little weirder at night and didn’t realize it was the Korean area of Japan. So not my choice of dinning experiences around. But the staff and everyone was super friendly and helpful.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—situated on a quiet street yet only around a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, making it a perfect base for exploring Tokyo. The hotel itself is very modern, stylish, and exceptionally clean. The room was tiny, but that's to be expected in this part of the city, and it was well designed to make the most of the space. The bed was comfortable and large enough for two people. The air conditioning worked very well, which was especially appreciated during the hot weather. The staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help. Nice coffee shop located within the hotel, which was perfect for grabbing a morning coffee before heading out for the day. The only downside was that our room overlooked the coffee shop terrace. Guests sitting outside could see directly into the room, so there wasn't much privacy unless we kept the curtains closed. It could also be a little noisy in the evenings until the coffee shop closed. Overall, a great hotel with a great location.

My room smelled like a dirty sock, to the point that I couldn't sleep because of the smell. I had to run to Daiso for fabric refresher and use the entire thing on the tiny room. I recommend for the GM to have the carpets cleaned thoroughly ASAP. Gross feet + Tokyo humidity = gross smells. Also I was disappointed the breakfast that came with my booking wasa coffee, 2 mini croissants and a large spoonful of potato salad. I don't really recommend this hotel unless you really want or need to have LGBTQ+ friendly. The cafe staff members were wonderful.
