APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower

APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower

8/10 Good
"Room was supposed to be a nonsmoking room but it smelled like someone had smoked in there before even with the room fragrance. Other than that, super convenient stay, quick check in, and luggage storage was super easy."

Shinjuku Granbell Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room is on the small side but we knew this and is absolutely fine for a city trip. We did feel we may have found a bit more storage space helpful. The room did smell a little damp but think that’s a consequence of not being able to open any windows and having air con. Breakfast is fine but wouldn’t rush to have it, although they did cater for my gluten free needs. The location of the hotel was also ideal for getting to all areas of the city. On the whole, the hotel was good and would recommend to friends coming to Tokyo."

8/10 Good
"Expect small rooms, a standard in Japan We have stayed here twice before Close to station, and if you’re happy to walk around lots, it’s a good choice not too far but not too close to the main Shinjuku area - shops/Godzilla. If you want to go shopping at Don Quijote there’s one walking distance from the hotel. If you like bbq there’s 2 bbq places just past the station entrance. Laundry services for washing and drying - although allow Enough time for drying as 1 cycle will not be enough you’ll need at least 1hr min to dry unless it’s a small load .Tullys is next door for breakfast too We will be back to this hotel"
