Tokyu Stay Shinjuku

Second stay in this hotel and this time we knew better and booked their double room. It's almost twice the size of their regular room. It was great to have a comfortable place after all the walking in Tokyo. Two thumbs up for the great location - shops, restaurants just outside. Plus hotel is in an inner road thus very quiet.

The location of the hotel is very convenient, there are brunch of restaurants near the hotel, subway is just 5 mins walk away. Only thing is that the hotel will not provide cleaning service (only clean up the rubbish and change towels) if you don’t stay over 6 nights. Room is small though but not surprised, this is quite normal in Tokyo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is very conveniently located, great, clean rooms and quiet. Staff are attentive and polite.

Great location if you want to be near Shinjuku San-Chome area. It is close to Shinjuku San Chome train station and several shopping centres like Isetan, Marui and Marui Men. There is washing machine and dryer in the room which is great. The downside about the location is that the station is on the Marounochi Train line which is not as convenient going to the airport or most of the other tourist area which is on the Yamamoto line. Shinjuku station is probably too far to walk if you have a lot of luggage, but it is otherwise “walkable” in cool weather. There is no housekeeping and only once a week, if you stay 7 days or more. I actually like not having daily housekeeping, but having none at all is not ideal. I would have preferred at least one housekeeping every 2-3 days. I ran out of clean towels when I stayed for 7 nights. Previously, when I stayed for less than 7 nights, I get fresh towels by the door every morning. Also, I cannot choose the only 1 housekeeping day I have. Mine was after staying 4 nights, although I would have preferred earlier. They do not inform you the day if the housekeeping until the day before it happens, which is not useful if you want housekeeping earlier. That is, you can only have it later! But overall, it is a great hotel with reasonably “big” room by Tokyo standard. Most Tokyo hotels have tiny rooms. It is one of my regular hotels, but it is probably not suited to those seeking for a quiet peaceful family location as there are several bars around
