"We thoroughly enjoyed Hotel Gracery Shinjuku as a "home base" during our recent trip to Tokyo- it was close to transport and had access to everything we needed to explore Tokyo. Despite being in the "red light" district, we felt safe (mother and teen daughter) and the party atmosphere each night was chaotic, but not problematic. Its distinctive appearance made it an easy navigation tool. Kudos to the daily clean up crew for the streets surrounding. The hotel was a calm oasis inside, and we enjoyed the Godzilla theme- souffle pancakes were a fun tasty treat, despite being pricey. Our room was well appointed- pyjamas, toothbrush, hairbrush, slippers, umbrellas, iron/steamer, safe, fridge etc. But no hand lotion, which was disappointing. Still Tokyo is all about shopping, so no harm done. Staff were lovely, and unobtrusive. 7-11 on site was great, insanely busy at all times. We used the laundry off the lobby, which was great. 30 minutes for wash- machine added detergent so no need to buy but the dryers took about 2 hours to dry to a slightly damp level for a small load."
