Shinjuku hotels & places to stay

I was looking for a cheap hotel in Shinjuku area, and really didn't mind if the rooms were small, as long as the place was clean, decent, and had a great location. APA Hotel in Shinjuku-Gyonmae fits the bill to a T. It may have bigger rooms, I don't know, but for solo traveller like me, I was just looking for 1 single room.The room was very small, as expected. But amazingly compact in design and complete. This is Japanese efficiency of putting everything together in such a small space. I had a study table, a mini ref, a hospitality coffee and tea, and a giant flat screen TV (this was the only big thing)! The toilet was also amazingly compact, but well designed to fit everything you would need, including automatic bidet and nice hot shower. The toilet seemed like a pre-fabricated module plug into the room, and was spotlessly clean! As a single traveller, the small space is really just enough for one to move around, but who cares, I just need a place to sleep and shower. And I must say, the bed quality and duvet was superb--super soft, although the pillows were flat (Japanese style?). It also had an aircon so I switched it on so it doesn't get so stuffy. The reading lights and switches are also well located in such a small space. And must I say that the wifi was super fast! The location is also just less than 5 mins. walk to Shinjuku-Gyonmae subway (Maranouchi Line) which connects to Shinjuku main station (2 stops away) where you can connect to so many trains. Around the area is quite New Yorkish (quiet side) with Choco croque, Tully's Cafe, Freshness Burger, Coco Ichibanya, many Family Marts and 7-11's, and a big nice park behind. Very safe and clean neighbourhood. I didn't book for breakfast, as it was easy to eat out. It also has a free sauna and spa at the lower basement in case you want to use. I just took a look. It was a small but very clean. Hotel is quite new, it seems, and actually is a tall hotel, seemingly a business hotel for Japanese businessmen o

Perfect location very near Okubo and Shin Okubo stations, great staff, breakfast, huge rooms with kitchenette, microwave, etc., separate toilet and bath.. Well stocked bathroom amenities, coffee, tea in the room.. One of the staff, Mr. Konno, was very helpful in facilitating the transfer of our luggage from this hotel in Shinjuku straight to our hotel in Osaka. In fact our 4pc luggage were waiting for us already in our room when we arrived. (I recommend this luggage service to travelers going to and from Osaka-Tokyo for hassle free transfers in trains or buses.) Good job, Hundred Stay! We will stay here again when in Shinjuku!

Nice Position, Shopping malls & JR Shinjuku Station &Metro nearby, Excellent services all the staying from checking in, everyone friendly,smiling & JPN style attitude. So many delicious restaurants in the hotel, most are worth to have a try, as some need to reserve first or u maybe could NOT in for too much guests, there's a little supermarket until 2or3AM B1F. Lounge is not bad with a nice view. The room is bigger than most other hotel in shinjuku I've stayed, but windows can't opened, so all the fresh air came from air conditioner feels bad. BUT The most CRAZIEST is as a guest I can NOT order anything in any restaurant delivering to my room, even room service foods menu offers littlest choices, trust me, u will be boring with them, as u know there are more choices & u have tried them downstairs. Also there's free shuttle service to Disney roundtrip, just reserve it, love it! Anyway, it's a great choice to stay. BUT so so bad feels while I just want order some more delivering to my room after my lunch or dinner in the same restaurant, All say NO WAY. It confused me so so much. Well maybe u guys think ur room menu is good enough. As a eater, I have to say NOOOOOOOOO!

Our second time in Tokyo and our first stay in Shinjuku. Reading all the other reviews good and bad and watching tons of Youtube videos. I can honestly say this little gem is perfect for everything, location, pricing and cleanliness. Located on the eastern side of Shinjuku you will find yourself with in a 4 min walk to Golden Gai, (A must see and experience for yourself area) The rooms are normal size for Tokyo if you want larger pay more and don't complain because you are frugal. After stalking the prices for weeks we finally found a really good price that included breakfast, normally we don't do breakfast but it was worth the extra 11 bucks a day and the breakfast was enormous and far far better then any skimpy European breakfast we had during out travels. The rooms were very clean and we stayed in a economy double on the 16th floor with a great view. They have a rooftop bar on the 13th floor landing that looked out over the city, they have daily happy hours and a decent menu as well at the rooftop bar. The front desk staff is more then helpful and will direct you and give you maps to anyplace you want to go. If you are a shopper , most big stores are by Shinjuku station which is about a 10 min walk. The area is very safe and you have tons of choices of food with in a couple min walk. I tried to cover all the bases here because I read a couple reviews that just seemed ridiculous and I want everyone to be upfront because thats how we book our hotels. Let me explain, if you have 4 to 5 Large suitcases and book a small double room for 3 or more people you get what you purchased its 15 SQ meters plus bath room they have larger that only cost 20 to 30 bucks more. The food in the restaurants was superior to or equal to most of the 4 to 5 stars we have stayed in. The area is a have a good time area , that is why you are staying in Shinjuku ! If you are looking for a hotel in Shinjuku and on a medium priced level then this far exceeds your perimeters.

Great location in Shinjuku. 5 mins walk to JR Shinjuku. Hotel is part of the Gozilla mall where loads of food places around and a cinema right below the hotel. Room is small as usual in Japan but very nice decor. Loves the bathroom. Room is also provided with a humidifier which helps with the dry air. Take note that the rooms are all non-smoking, i got locked out because of vaping my e-cig and Iqos in room. Apparently they say these are cigarettes too. There's a smoking room at the lobby though The Takoyaki balls is a must try below the hotel. Opens till late

Located very close to Shinjuku station (JR/NEX), and the bus station is at the same location towards Haneda airport. For those who want to go to Tokyo Big Sight for shows, there is a direct train from platform 1 Saikyo line. There is a Macdonald's right at the corner and loads of food at Shinjuku central if you walk a little. Yodobashi/BIC is 5-10min away on foot. The room size is bigger compared to Sunroute on the next street with similar pricing. The room had nice touches like a heated mirror (works great after a shower), mobile phone with unlimited data and free roaming calls to some countries (great for tourist), full size complimentary water and bottled shower foam and shampoo. Definitely my new fav hotel in Shinjuku.

Best Western Shinjuku hotel is positioned in a great location only a few minutes walk from the train station and right in the heart of restaurants, bars and shops within the area. The hotel is well kept and very clean. Rooms are not the biggest however we didnt spend too much time in there so that wasnt an issue. The staff are friendly and helpful. Shinjuku is however the redlight district so keep that in mind. Do not let this discourage you however as everything is tucked in behind closed doors and this is the place to be if you are into food, drinking, shopping and fun. The hotel has everthing you need with a buffet breakfast included in the room price and a convenient store right outside the lift. The staff will help you organise taxis, provide wake up calls etc. I would definitely recommend this hotel

Pro: hotel is between shinjuku and Yoyogi station. Use the Yoyogi station if you do not wish for a meltdown figuring out 6 stories platform with 200exits at shinjuku. Hotel is 4 mins walk from shinjuku new south exit (at new women). Hotel is opposite Takashimaya and Tokyu hands. Shake shack at ground level of hotel, tim Ho wan right outside the hotel, pizza and Vietnamese /thai restaurant on the ground level of hotel. Room facilities: English channels: CNN, BBC, channel news Asia, limited English movies (available usually more often in the day than night) , no children channel. Polite and helpful staff who will help to reserve airport limousine bus to airport. Bus pick up is on ground level of hotel which is super convenient. Hotel supply bottled shampoo, conditioner, body wash and Shiseido facial wash. 24hours family mart 2 minutes walk towards Yoyogi station. Cons: no cons. You pay for convenience.

LOCATION At first I was apprehensive of this as I booked this by mistake as i wanted the one at Shinjuku. However, this was a happy mistake. From Narita, able to get on the express train to the train station with a toddler, a stroller and two luggages in tow. Walking distance from the station (approx 50m). Lots of nearby places to eat, and supermarket just across the street. From Yotsuya-Sanchome station, going to Shinjuku, Tokyo, Ginza, Shibuya is a breeze. AMENITIES Breakfast spread is very good. No lack of variety considering its excellent price point. No gym or pool though. That's a small downside. ROOMS Clean. Comes with humidifier which was a big bonus for someone coming from a tropical country. Can sleep better when the air is not as dry esp during winter. End state verdict. Booked by mistake. But did not regret it at all. Best mistake ever.

I really enjoy staying at Hilton Tokyo a lot. I chose this hotel because Airport limousine can send me in front of the hotel. But I found out later that hotel also provide free shuttle bus from hotel to Shinjuku train station, the bus leave every 20 mins which is very convenient. This shuttle bus also take you back to the hotel from Shinjuku station as well. You can ask for the bus timetable at the reception. Also there's a subway connection right from the hotel lobby. I can get out the train at Nishi-shinjuku station and walk underground around 3 mins and pop up right inside the hotel lobby! Really convenient! Room view is great as I stayed at high floor. Really appreciate this hotel and I will recommend to everyone I know if they're going to Tokyo.

The location is good, but for someone who had to walk to and from Shinjuku Station with snowboard and luggage, next time i will look for something a little closer. The rooms was a good size and bathroom was ok. Staff at check-in were very efficient, but staff in the breakfast restaurant were not so. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast, not just for the service, as you would expect a lot more options in a hotel of this size. We ate there one morning and went elsewhere all other days. The best Shinjuku hotel i have stayed in the last few years that was around the same price per night is the Gracery, but these days it is much more expensive than when I stayed shortly after it opened, so when you consider this was around JPY15000 per night for a stay in Feb, it is actually quite cheap for a Shinjuku hotel of this standard.

If you are travelling between different cities in japan, you will appreciate a hotel so near a jr station. Its just one stop away from shinjuku so its very accessible to go everywhere and at the same time not encounter the crazy crowds at the shinjuku. Hotel staff was very helpful, we met a chinese female staff during our check in and she was so relieved that we could speak mandarin. The korean male staff who is on duty at night was equally eager to help when we had queries. The vip double room we stayed in was roomly and comfortable at great price. There is even a wholesale supermart just next door so you can get your daily necessities like mineral water at much cheaper prices compared to convenience stores.

This place is fantastic! Clean, modern rooms with comfortable, large beds. Just a 10 minute walk from Shinjuku JR Station, and 3 minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku station. The hotel offers free buffet breakfast every morning with a great range of food options. The Super Hotel also has great laundry facilities (only 100 Yen to use the washing machines, the washing powder and dryers are complimentary). Above all, the staff are just wonderful. They make such a huge effort to help wherever they can, and always greet you with a friendly smile. This was my 7th visit to Shinjuku, and best hotel I've experienced by far.

This is a really great hostel! One of the best hostels that I’ve stayed at in Japan. 1.) The location is incredible. (Walking distance from all of the best late night spots.) 2.) The staff was amazing. 3.) There is a good mixture of people from all over the world staying at the hostel. 4.) A nice, free breakfast. Includes eggs, toast with jam/peanut butter, and coffee. 5.) And all of this for a good, affordable price! If you’re looking to stay in the Shinjuku area while you’re in Tokyo, I definitely suggest that you stay here.

Pros: - very near the heart of Shinjuku - has a lot of sockets to plug all your gadgets in for charging - very quiet and peaceful neighborhood - about 15 mins away from Shinjuku Station, and you can marvel at the neon lights on the way there - Family Mart and 7/11 are within close proximity Cons: - This was by far the smallest room we booked in 4 different hotels in Japan, and was slightly more expensive as well. OVERALL: This hotel is highly recommended.

Before our trip to Tokyo, we decided we wanted to find a hotel in Shinjuku because it is central to where we wanted to go and the hotels here, as mentioned in different sites and blogs I've researched, are relatively cheaper than in Shibuya. Hotel Sunroute Higashi-Shinjuku is ideal for us because it is relatively cheaper than other hotels in the area (we were also looking at their sister hotel, Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku) but still offer great value for your money. It is located right beside the Higashi-Shinjuku subway station which services two lines, the Oedo and the Fukutoshin line so it is very accessible. We decided to purchase the N'EX Tokyo Direct Ticket (One-way), a great deal for tourists that offers you more than 50% savings, to take us from Narita Airport to Shinjuku station and from there we just hailed a taxi to our hotel. You can also opt to take the subway if you don't mind lugging your suitcase in Shinjuku station since Higashi-Shinjuku is only one station away via the Oedo line. The staff are very polite and helpful; checking-in and out was a breeze. The rooms are small but adequate for two people with enough space for two small-sized (15 kilos max) luggage. The room is also equipped with a refrigerator, flat-screen TV, free wifi and a toilet that is modernly Japanese you'd want to take it home with you. Dining is not a problem since there are several restaurants, fast-food chains and convenience stores within the vicinity (McDonald's, Pepper Lunch, 7-Eleven). All in all, I would definitely come back here on my next trip to Tokyo and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheaper place to stay without sacrificing the value of your money.

The hotel was very luxurious and beautiful. The rooms were the largest we had throughout our stay in Japan. The city view from our room at night was amazing. It's next to the Shinjuku Central Park and a short walk from Shinjuku Goyen for cherry blossom viewing. A free bus shuttle brings you to Shinjuku station where you can access most areas of the city. You can also walk to the station in under 10 minutes. The only thing we did not like about this hotel was the internet access. You have to request a wireless router for your room and then pay to use the internet (300 yen per day). The internet usage fee is small, but I thought when paying a significant amount to stay in a 4-star hotel they could at least provide free wireless internet. This practice seemed a little old fashioned.

Very good location: just 3 mins walk from Mejiro station (1 sta. away from Ikebukuro & 3 sta. away from Shinjuku). There are Family Mart, drug store and restaurants nearby. Check-in/ out process is fast and simple. Hotel staffs are very courteous and helpful, they speak simple English and trying their best to communicate with us. The room is clean, and spacious by Japanese standard. Laundromat available, and we may check the machine availability/ completion time from the TV in our room. Would be great if they provide bottled drinking water or water dispenser.

First of all, you need to know the room is indeed small (16 sqm) which is the same for all hotels in Tokyo for this price. If you are very very tall like 180cm then you might find standing in the bath room a bit problematic. However, putting that aside, the amenities are more than complete. The wifi with protected password are extremely strong (25mbps). There's mini bath tub, free evian drinking water, toiler with remote controlled bidet, very tidy and clean room, free mila schon shampoo, conditioner and body was gel on top of the provided shampoo, rinse and body wash, free toothbrush, shave, facial wash, clothes deodorant, bubble was ball, hair brush, free ice at 8th floor machine, free green tea, etc. Just put the house keeping sign outside the door and the room will be clean as new and everything used will be replenish except the mila schon stuffs unless the see nth left then they will replenish. The staffs can speak moderate english and one male staff can speak very well chinese. You can buy the 500 yen (worth 600 yen) voucher from the hotel to be used at the Tully's coffee downstairs. The Tully's Coffee pumpkin latte is a must try! Everything is nice! Next to it is also the Lawson store sth like 7-Eleven. The hotel will recommend cheap and good food to you and be very honest about all the tourist spots if you ask them. Hospital, restaurants, shopping complex, drug store and supermarket is just within 3-10 mins walking distance. There's the Don Quixote supermarket that sells almost anything at cheap price near the Korean Town that occasionally will have debuting Korean Star promoting themselves offering free signatures and photographs. The staffs are helpful and nice to offer any assistance you ask. They even have a weight scale for your luggage to make sure you don't go overweight for your flight! Awesome! The hotel is just next to higashi-shinjuku subway station. It is quite far from the red light district area. This area is for shopping, not for sightseeing.

The location in Shinjuku was great, with shops, restaurants and transport links nearby. The fittings of the room were new and everything was clean. However, the room was very small, so small that we could barely fit two large suitcases there, we had to put one on the desk and one on the floor. Also, the noise of the fridge was annoying at night. It’s fine if you basically want to spend all day exploring the city as we did. If you plan to spend some time at the hotel I’d recommend you book a larger room.
