My stay at Hotel Balian Resort Shinjuku Honten was generally enjoyable, with a spacious room and great amenities like amazing toiletries and snacks. The big tub was definitely a highlight. However, I found the bathroom lighting a bit dim for getting ready, and the breakfast options could have been better. I also felt that the hotel was a bit strict with check-out times.

My stay at Hotel Balian Resort was quite enjoyable, though there were some drawbacks. The location is fantastic, close to Shinjuku Station and vibrant areas like Golden Gai, and I loved the spacious room. I was less impressed by the strict check-out policies and the limitations on seeing outside due to the privacy film on the windows.

I had a unique experience at the hotel, which boasted a cozy vibe, but some things could definitely be improved. The room was well-equipped, but the lack of fresh air and dark ambiance made it a bit uncomfortable. The location was convenient, close to Shinjuku, and the service was hassle-free. Overall, I'd recommend it for the experience but with a few caveats.

The room had an old-fashioned feel with dark wood furniture. It was cozy and well-equipped but felt a bit dark and claustrophobic due to frosted windows. A view outside would have been nice.
