Great location in Shinjuku if you want to be where the action is at.
If you take the limousine bus from Haneda Airport, it will take you to the hotel building. It’s also relatively close to multiple train stations. Had a great view of the city from the bedroom.
Arrived early and was able to leave our luggage at the hotel until checkin. Check in was easy and the staff had already brought our luggage to our room from when we had dropped it off in the morning.

We had a lovely 2-night stay here in one of the moderate queen rooms. It was sweet and everything we needed. Also the location near the Kokuritsu-kogijo station was perfect for us. Really near Shinjuku so just awesome, we totally could have stayed longer. Staff were friendly and we were able to store our bags after we checked out. Would totally go back.

If staying in Shinjuku area this modern-style hotel is a great choice. It is close enough to the action but is a refuge from the amazing buzz of the Tokyo streets. The hospitality we received from Terada and his team was helpful and very welcoming.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Tokyo
Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Tokyo is during January, February, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an affordable trip that allows you to explore the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration will give you the opportunity to visit significant landmarks, such as temples and monuments, as well as delve into the local culture through museums and architectural marvels. Furthermore, you can enjoy Tokyo's vibrant shopping scene and beautiful natural parks, making your visit great value for money. With a little luck, prices might drop even further during these months, making it an ideal time for those travelling on a budget.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Tokyo, consider exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover significant discounts on accommodation as your travel date approaches. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you secure cheap Tokyo hotels. For a more informed choice, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows travellers to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re updated on any price drops or new availability, making it easier to snag a great rate for your last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Tokyo hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to secure the best deal possible.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive. However, thanks to Tokyo's outstanding public transport system, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further afield that is still well connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
