Top hotels in Sakura Ward
Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
Twin room had a decent amount of space for Tokyo. Good central location although a bit of a ‘party’ area in the evenings- never felt unsafe though. Great view of the city from our window. Check in fairly straight forward. Pillows a bit uncomfortable and bed reasonably hard. Overall pretty happy ...
