Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport - Directly connected to Haneda Airport Terminal 3
Basic room good for over night. Better to stay on premium side

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
Clean rooms with amazing views if you can get high floor. Would definitely recommend asking for room facing away from shinjuku train station as the noise is quite loud, even on high floor (stayed on 28). Soak-in tub and beds are great!

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main
Small cramped rooms with step up bathroom. A real budget option that is not value for money. Good location but full of cheap tour groups with over an hours wait to check in. We cancelled our 5 night booking after one night and paid a penalty. Definitely not suitable for a family or persons with mobility ...

Shinagawa Prince Hotel
Rooms were very clean. But they do need new carpet and new plumbing fixtures, but all in all a very good place to stay.
