APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Eki Tower
Definitely clean, but of course really small rooms. Having a Lawson in the building was very convenient and it's pretty close to a couple different subway lines. Only thing that was pretty irritating were the elevators...at peak times it can take forever to get on one.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nishi Shinjuku PREMIER
Very honest offering. Reasonably priced. Not much amenities though, but that's to be expected at that price. Make sure you get your breakfast before 9:30 so you can order their delicious fluffy pancakes (seriously), but the rest of the breakfast was very meh.

Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo
This hotel was lovely. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast buffet was also 10/10. It’s in a quieter area which was nice. There’s a 24 hour convenience store across the street and it’s walking distance to three train lines.
