What guests think

Across reviews, Sophiearth Apartment is a budget-minded base near Shin-Okubo and Shinjuku with easy access to trains and local dining, while guest experiences differ significantly in cleanliness, maintenance, and service.

Rooms are small and very basic, with some windowless units and thin walls that let in noise. Cleanliness is mixed, with reports of moldy odors, pests, and worn spaces, and housekeeping during stays can be limited. Staff impressions range from friendly and efficient to unhelpful or hard to reach. Expect a simple, no-frills stay where location and price are the main strengths.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The outside seating areas smelled of cigarettes and the room smelled of dryer sheets or something. They had a very nice laundry machine and commercial dryer, but it was outside and didn't have a combination lock. A little bit of a walk to the train station but not bad and lots happening in terms of interesting shops along the walk. Lots of nice restaurants and shops near the place too. It was listed as a room for two, with two beds but it looked like there were two more fold-out beds in the room if needed and bedded for four was in the room. Door locks were a combination. Wi-fi worked fine. Toilet, sink, and shower were all in separate rooms, which would be nice if you had a bunch of kids or something. 2 or 3 steps in the room to get up to the bath.

宿泊するところは、フロントの道はさんで向かい側でした。あまり綺麗とは言えないけど立地がとても良く、いろんな所に行きやすかったです。キッチンのライトか付かなかったのと、箱ティッシュが無かったのが残念。後、目の前にゴミ置場があるのですがそこがとても不衛生でした。もう少し綺麗にすれば、他の人にも勧められます！もったいない。

Sophiearth is ...only ideal if travelling on a budget, and being based in Shin-Okubo it's a convenient location to easily get to other places in Tokyo, like Shinjuku and Akihabara. The coin laundry works very well.

犬と泊まれて出入自由な駐車場があるので利用させてもらいました。近くに新大久保の商店街があり、外国人が多く独特な雰囲気があります。フロントではチェックイン時の対応のみで後は干渉されないので、自由に出来て私は良かったです。アメニティはなかったので、歯ブラシのみ自分で追加購入。ホテル前の通りがスクールゾーンで平日は完全な通行止め時間があるのでそれは注意が必要です。安くて犬と泊まれて干渉されなくて車も出入自由という点で私は需要に合っており高評価でした。

口コミで衛生面を心配していたのですが、許容範囲でした。ネパール人スタッフが素敵な笑顔と流暢でソフトな日本語で対応してくださりほっこりします。オーナーの方も紳士的で感じが良いです。駐車場前の道路が狭いので、運転に自信のない方は緊張するかな、と言う感じです。怖い目に遭ったと言うわけではないですが、大通り沿いではないので、夜の女性の独り歩きは私としてはお勧めしません。韓国ショップ、料理に興味のある方にはとても便利なホテルです。

Stayed 6 nights. They didn’t clean room nor toilet. No fresh towel. We had to ask them to clean toilet and fresh towels. We had to change garbage can in room and clean up ourselves each day. Room has no window. We stayed in three person room as a couple. No way it would fit 3. Room is extremely basic. But location is excellent. Close to trains, bus and tons of affordable good food and Sento nearby. It is more like a hostel and should not be advertised as a hotel.

WARNING BEWARE OF ROOM 5 AND M5!! PLEASE, for the love of god, reconsider staying here. This was by far the worst hostel experience we had in Japan. The day we arrived they let us check in an hour early, which we thought was awesome. The room heavily smelt of bleach, so we left the bedroom window open. We left to go sightseeing for the entire day and came back late at night. It was a cold night, so the heaters had been turned on, enhancing the smell of mould. We were horrified. It’s hard to explain just how damp and mouldy this place smelt! We started really looking at the room and realised the shower had black mould growing in the silicone. From what we could tell, they had plastered the shower in cheap wall paper to hide how run down it truly was. When you poked some parts of the wall paper, it buckled inwards. It was around 11pm at this point, I was having a hard time sleeping, so I went to the service desk, Hoping, praying, they would have another room. The man managing the service desk acted shocked when I told him about the mould. How could you miss it?! I suggested for him to come take a look, so he followed me to the room. The man looked around the shower, pointing out the mould and poking the walls like we had. He tugged at the silicone in the shower and started to pull it up. Looking at the mould behind the silicone was nauseating so I left the bathroom. The man said he could not help us and that we had to wait till 7am to talk to the manager of sophiearth. I clos

Great and convenient location not far from three train/subway stations but no cleaning service in rooms during our five day stay. Had to ask for clean towels 3 times. Quiet neighbourhood except for people entering and exiting adjacent room at all hours. Overpriced for a two star hotel at best. Hallways are dirty and run down. Rooms were clean but in desperate need of renovation. Beds are squeaky and pillows less than flat. Lesson learned. Caveat emptor.

I took a budget place because I wanted to spend most of the time out of the room. This place is very well located, in the center of Shinjuku. The rooms are little. The insulation is not what we are accustomed to in Europe or in the US. If there is noise outside, you will notice. Nonetheless, if you are aware of the condifions to begin with, you won't be disappointed. Personnally, it matches all the boxes I needed and I had a fun trip with my family.

Our room didn't look like the one in the photo. We had two beds along the wall, each of which had two roll out beds underneath. When they were pulled out, it was hard to access the bathroom without stepping on one of the beds. It was fine because we were only in the room for sleeping and were out sightseeing otherwise, but would not be the most comfortable place to hang out in. Check in was fast and easy. Fairly close to 2 train stations on different lines, so that was pretty convenient. Was an ok price for Tokyo.

I ordered a 2 bedroom family apartment with city view and that is what the picture showed on line as well. When we arrived we were shown to a one room apartment with 6 twin beds and told our side was on the one side. I refused that. They came back with saying they could put us in 2 rooms but it was an apartment. I got the apartment due to having a child who wanted her own room. I was not about to stick my child in a room by herself in a new country. I am still waiting on my refund. It says no refund but considering the fact it was nothing like what was shown should be a reason to refund...bait and switch is not okay! This issue left us with nowhere to stay thankfully i found a place down the road and it was exactly as described and shown! Please dont advertise if its not the actual room and please refund my money already!!!

This was the perfect size for person. This hotel allowed me to come sleep, than hit the street of Japan. This hotel is in prime location, everything is very walk able. Overall I love it.
