“A great place to stay!”

7/7 found this review helpful

Stayed at this property for 8 nights in late March-early April in a 2-bedroom apartment and was really impressed. For far less than we could have paid for a deluxe hotel room, we had a large apartment with a full-size living/dining area, large bedroom, kitchen and amazing bathroom! The second bedroom was compact and there was no second bathroom.

All the fittings were new, three TV’s (although we had a bit of trouble with the multiple remotes!), heated floors, etc etc which you also get in the studios – but the best thing was the space!
Check-in and out was easy and the staff were always friendly, polite and helpful. The skylounge is nice, so is the library area, and it was great having free internet access at two terminals in the basement lounge area.

The apartments are in a convenient location, close to Shinjuku and other metro and JR stations. Shinjuku station is about 15 mins away – it’s not a long walk but you have to negotiate a couple of busy intersections.

It’s also close to department stores, convenience stores and a vast array of dining choices.
One downside which has been mentioned by others is the train lines – it can get a bit noisy, even at night. Also, not many taxi drivers seemed to know it, so it made for some interesting
trips :-) Given the popularity of the place, it would also be great if the airport bus made a stop there.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Oakwood and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the place to others or staying there again. It’s worth trying for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment just for the extra space.

6/6 found this review helpful

We stayed in Oakwood apartments in April 2008 for 6 nights and it was perfect! We had a studio (for 2) that was rather small (but this is Tokyo!) but it was so well organized and equipped that we enjoyed our stay every minute. Very modern and clean bathroom, very comfortable bed, nice big fla tv, electronic devices, etc, etc. Plus we had the internet connection in the room for a low price. View from the balcony was superb. We also appreciated the lounge in 32nd floor (open to residents). We didn't try the fitness.

We will stay in Oakwood again next time for sure.

This was a great place to stay! This was the first hotel we stayed at in Japan and it turned out to be one of our favorites.

The room was clean and had a washer/dryer and a fridge, plus a comfortable bed and nice bath and toilet area. The room was a class above for the price range - I think you could easily pay twice what we did in Tokyo and would get a lower quality room.

The staff were always courteous and graciously assisted us with a few booking needs - arranging for another hotel cancellation and helping to get our Tokyo purchases held for us at our next hotel in Tokyo while we toured around Japan. They also have a business center for internet use, and a industrial washer/dryer area for bigger laundry loads.

Shinjuku was a fun area to be located since the station has so many connections. The Oakwood is a bit of a walk from the station (15-20 mins) but since we were only carrying backpacks it was not a big issue for us.

3/3 found this review helpful

I don't have much to add from previous reviews. The Hotel/apartment is excellent value. The staff is great (they mailed my lost keys and cell phone back to US). The lounge is fantastic and is even better since you help yourself to a self service bar without costing you an arm and a leg. I can't say enough about properties that has refrigerator you can stock and in room washer/dryer.

One minor point. The premise is located near the Shinjuku station with trains coming in late into nights. We had a room facing the tracks and even on the 20th floor, the noise was evident. Maybe request for street side (west facing) room.

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed here in March 2008. I actually came across this hotel through the trip advisor website. For Tokyo, this hotel is priced at the bargain rate of 120Y per night. At that rate, we were worried that it would be subpar, but were pleasantly surprised at how central and amazing our hotel was. Since it is an apartment style hotel, we had our own kitchen complete with stove and rice cooker. We had a washer and dryer. The room had a 32" lcd screen, dvd player and bose sound system. The hotel is super clean! Cleaning staff came in every two days. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Free internet access is also available. I will definitely stay at this hotel again the next time I come back to Tokyo. Oakwood apartments left such a good impression on us about the city of Tokyo and its people.
