Hotel Villa Fontaine Tokyo-Shinjuku
4.3/5126 Reviews

Hotel Villa Fontaine Tokyo-Shinjuku

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|0.16km from Cultural Center Arirang
A reasonably priced hotel in Shinjuku about 15-20 minutes walk from the Shinjuku Train Station. You can get to this train station via the Narita Express on your way from or to the Narita airport. It is difficult to find the first time, basically use the East Exit and head North from the Shinjuku Train Station. You need to walk around the Cinema complex (use the West side as the East side is a tad more seedy at night). The staff were very helpful and polite. They helped with maps and suggestions of places/areas to visit. The twin room we had (Room 1004 on the 10th floor) had a view and the biggest shower/bath room that I have ever seen in Japan. The room had a bright neon pink sign ”Never ending journey” in the room on the wall for some reason (it can be turned off but just well...so Japan). The room was clean, modern and though relatively small was nice and comfortable. The hotel in general looked quite new. The hotel is close to the Shinjuku neon night life which has to be seen to be believed (walk back towards the station). So many bright neon signs and young people around enjoying themselves. The area of Shinjuku takes on a different life at night. You can walk to the Golden Gai area (full of small bars) which is apparently an attraction. We saw the area during the day when mostly everything was closed (there are lots of CCTV cameras and warnings about not fighting).

Sophiearth Hostel Tokyo

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|0.23km from Cultural Center Arirang
I just wish to share my experience in writing in order for all the parties involved to be aware of the reality of such an accommodation. A few months ago, having seen photos on Agoda.com, I had a booked a twin room for 2 people which (as per the photos) had a small tv screen, along with a few other small amenities. This room, very clearly differentiated itself from the remaining rooms Sophiearth III hostel was offering by having 2 mattresses on the floor (which could be joined so that 2 people could sleep together). This specific room/mattress configuration was the sole reason I made this booking (so I could avail it with my partner). Before leaving for my trip, as I was double checking my bookings on Agoda and their corresponding facilities, I noticed that my confirmed booking no longer showed me any similar photos of the same room I had booked. In fact, I noticed that the photos of the said room were no longer available anywhere for viewing. I worried that the hotel would no longer honour & provide me with the same room booked, so I emailed Agoda to share my concerns. I was reticent to cancel this booking in order to make another one as it was non refundable, so in order to be sure of what the situation was, I contacted Agoda. I was assured by Agoda through an email that I indeed would be getting the same room with 2 mattresses on the floor, and that I should not worry as everything would be as exactly booked (my worries were gone post this). As I reached the hotel on the 20th of Feb, I checked in and made the full payment at the property for 5 nights convinced that the room situation was sorted. Unfortunately, as I went up to drop my bags in the room I was disappointed to find that it was not what I had booked as per the photos. They in fact gave me a small bunk bed enclosure/room with no space for 2 mattresses on the floor, no small tv screen or other amenities. The shared bathroom looked very grim, dirty, with a wet floor, no bath mat to dry the feet (another clear contrast to their website photos). When I went to the reception to explain the situation, I also had with me the Agoda email assuring me of the 2 mattresses on the floor and photos of the room I originally booked for (I had taken screenshots for my reference prior to them being removed from the website). To confirm my worst fears, the lady apologized and said they no longer could offer that room as they were going through renovations and it was no longer available. I asked what could be done from their side as this was not acceptable to me. She said ”Sorry, this is our mistake but this is the room we have for you”, however, when I again expressed my displeasure she then mentioned they had a room with similar sleeping arrangements and that I could have it provided I paid an extra 22,000 Yen. I also inquired about refunds and checkout to which I was told no refund could be given and that to check out I simply had to leave the room and be on my way (key less/number pad

Hotel BaliAn Resort Higashi Shinjuku - Adults Only

Shinjuku Area
It's rare to have a big room and a massage chair. You can stay here for a night or two.
Toyoko Inn Tokyo Shinjuku Kabukicho
4.5/584 Reviews
Shinjuku Area
Situated in a very good location in Kabuchiko. Right near all the bars and restaurants. Rooms are very small you can hardly move let alone find somewhere to put your cases to unpack. But apparently this is the norm in Japan unless you're willing to pay more. It's quite a walk with cases from shinjuku station especially on the busy streets so you might want to arrange transport or get the subway to one of the closer stations (Higashi shinjuku is very close) Overall not a bad choice if you're on a budget and just want a base to see the city. I wouldn't be hanging around the rooms too long but would definitely stay again.
ELE Cabin Shinjuku Kabukicho
4.3/575 Reviews
Shinjuku Area
The accommodation is a bit distant from Shinjuku station, with Shinokubo being the closest station. As you make your way to this ”cabin,” you'll experience the bustling atmosphere of one of Tokyo's busiest areas. Cabins or capsules do not offer a separate room and resemble dormitories in hostels. While the cleanliness of shower booths and other shared spaces isn't impeccable, it's generally acceptable. Each cabin is equipped with individual fabric partitions and a personal light. If you're not overly sensitive, you may find the setup somewhat isolating.

Enjoyed my stay there. Polite staff and great location. About 16 minute walk to main Shinjuku station. Be aware that rooms are small, it's downtown Japan after all.
Hotel BaliAn Resort Shinjuku Glamping
4.4/512 Reviews
Shinjuku Area
It was the most spacious than any hotel I stayed in in Japan. I recommend it if you want to stay in a spacious hotel room without having to worry about opening two suitcases, but it's not recommended for families as there are a lot of host bars on the way to the hotel. I thought it was a glamping-like concept, with hammocks and a cute atmosphere, but it also looked somewhat like a motel, so take a good look before choosing.
