APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower

"Small rooms but perfect for a week longs stay. The morning breakfast is okay but it wi be the same and does not change. But lots of good options."

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

8/10 Good

"I knew the hotel rooms in Japan are small, but this one is really well set out. The bathroom is compact so only one at a time! The room has everything you’d need. We had 2 large suitcases and there was enough room (ours are soft shell so you’d need to think about hard shell if you have those). Everything is spotless. No daily clean but they will replace towels for you. Bedside lights and charging points. Good AC and not noisy! Extra pillows in the hall if you need them. Check-in was easy and the staff we very helpful. We had breakfast included and went to the small restaurant in the Annexe building as the queue was long at the main restaurant. Lots of Asian options there."

HOTEL GROOVE SHINJUKU, A PARKROYAL Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best view in town, we had 2 room the double executive room and the king suite King suite was amazing on the top floor. Nothing beats the view, I would say the only negative of that room is how far the projector/tv is from the bed but thats about it. Executive double twin was really good as well, very clean. The location was perfect, finishing this hotel with your trip is very convenient as it has a direct bus/limo to both airport. Will cost you around $30 but will save you from hauling your luggage in the complicated shinjuku station."
