Loved our stay at this hotel! Great value for the price. The room was bigger than we expected of Tokyo; the staff were super helpful and friendly; check-in and checkout process was very smooth. Location is fantastic - we explored most of Shinjuku and Shibuya just walking from the hotel. The subway stop is 3 minutes away as well. Highly recommend this spot!

Great location. Not in the thick fo things but about 20 min walk from the Shinjuku train stations and tons of food options.

The glowing hotel in the heart of Shizuku is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I stayed in Tokyo with 3 friends last December. The room was clean, new, and simple. The staff was always there to help us with suggestions!

The location in Shinjuku is excellent. It is very clean and entire staff are very friendly and helpful. If you want an authentic Tokyo experience that reflects the way locals live ( the units are your typical Tokyo apartment) in nice location, this is for you. It does not have the amenities a regular hotel has. But with so many things to do in Tokyo and vicinity, we only needed the place for shower, sleeping and storage. Love this place!

4.6/57 Jan 2022

Its really hard to rate this place. We spent 4 nights in the glow and it was so amazing. The location is excellent, there is no need to take a $10 taxi ride to the major Shizuku station, and Golden Gai is a short walk away. The hotel is clean and new. The staff speaks excellent English. But the rooms are very small, and they lack virtually no storage. It is challenging to walk between the bed and the wall to get to the limited floor space to store your luggage. That's the only drawback, but it's still very significant. Wed probably consider spending more money the next time to get a bigger room.

I went to Tokyo in November with 3 friends, The glow hotel is located in the center of Shizuku. We adored the rooms. Clean, new, and simple. The team was always there to assist us with our recommendations. Thank you fuck and team!.

4.4/510 May 2022

The location is in a more quiet area of Shizuku, not far from all the interesting spots. The room is modern but still very comfy and comfortable. The staff here are wonderful. Everyone has a smile on their face and they are all ready to help. I will look to book with glow again when I visit Tokyo.

4.2/56 Jul 2022

We stayed 4 nights at the glow and it was truly difficult to rate it. The location is fantastic, easy walking distance to subway station, 10 taxi rides to major Shizuku train station, and easy walk to Golden Gai. The hotel is clean and new. The staff are fantastic with great English! But sadly, the rooms are very tiny and almost no storage. To reach the small floor space to store your luggage, it's difficult to walk between the bed and the wall. That's the only drawback, but it's quite significant. Next time, I would probably consider spending more to get a bigger room.

Great value and excellent location. Very clean as well and easy check-in/-out. Only a bit small/narrow especially with the bed on the upper floor but that’s not uncommon in Tokyo. At times, the wi-fi is a bit patchy/unstable but nothing too bad. Highly recommend as an affordable option!

Great location for catching the trains and exploring shunjuku. Limited size as advertized. Amazingly accomodating staff they deserve more than five stars.

Well located - 10-20min walk to most touristy things in Shinjuku, and 2 min walk to the subway for everything else. Tiny as everyone says. Open your suitcase & put it under the bed for some space. If you have carry on plus checked luggage, probably not the hotel for you. The bathroom is tight, but totally useable.

This room is good enough for one person. But because I should use ladder to get bed, it’s quite scary when I wake up the morning. (It’s almost 2m height)

GLOU is located in the residential area away from Korean Town in Higashi Shinjuku. It is a 3-minute walk from exit B1 from the Fukutoshin Line (Tokyo Metro) and a 13-minute walk from the JR Shin-Okubo station. Check-in progress was straightforward, and our room was very spacious for a room in Tokyo. We stayed across from the main building, where reception and coin laundry are located. Some issue we had during our stay was the odor (the room smelled like feet-maybe because the room was carpeted and the ventilation was not amazing; I had to get room refresher spray day) and squeaky bed/bed frame. It would've been nice if there was a humidifier since the air does get air throughout the night. Overall a nice space where we can comfortably lay out all our luggage in the room; a good 12 min walk to Golden Gai/Kabuki-cho. 7-11/Lawson are within 2-3 blocks away. Located near busy streets with lots of Korean shops.

Cumple con todas las condiciones y necesidades con una buena relación, calidad precio (aunque eso depende de las fechas, es bonito, seguro y sus instalaciones son nuevas). Su personal es de lo mas atento, cordial y muy colaborador. Instalaciones cómodas y modernas, el formato es de pequeñísimo departamento, con lo que sugiero (en general) evitar llevar gran equipaje a Japón. La zona es la mejor para alojarse, en mi opinión ya que hay diversas maneras de movilizarse y hay una línea de metro al lado, también lugares cómodos para comprar alimentos y o desayunar o por ejemplo comprar algunas entradas. No está en una avenida principal sino en una pequeña calle lateral, lo que no representa problema, pero mejor llegar con Google maps o traer la dirección impresa en japonés. Escribo esto porque otros comentarios me ayudaron a organizarme. Buen viaje!

In general, the stay was good. The bathroom was a little small for me but no big problem. There is a humidity smell the bathroom, but air extraction and a door help.
