Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
"The hotel was centrally located and extremely convenient. The room was on the smaller side, as expected for central Tokyo, but very comfortable. The shower was amazing."

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main
"Clean rooms, helpful staff, breakfast was good and catered to both Japanese and western cuisine. Convenience stores and restaurants on lower levels. This hotel is more for Japanese business, so the rooms are considered small for western people, but still spacious enough."
