新宿16 SHINJUKU16 SUMMER SALES, Tokyo

The aparthotel sits on a quiet side street between Shin-Okubo and Okubo stations, giving direct access to the JR Chuo-Sobu and Yamanote lines. Shinjuku station is one stop away or a 10-15 minute walk, while Nihon Christ Kyokai Kashiwagi Church is a 4-minute walk from the property. The surrounding neighbourhood has a local feel with abundant restaurants, beauty stores, convenience stores (FamilyMart, Lawson), and a Don Quijote within walking distance. Tokyo Haneda Airport is 22 km away; the location is practical for city exploration without a car, with two metro lines offering fast connections to Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Tokyo Station.

The property features double rooms (2 beds) and one-bedroom suites (3 beds or sofa bed setups) with air conditioning, soundproof walls, tatami flooring, a washing machine, and a dining area. Each unit includes a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, oven and kitchenware, plus a flat-screen TV. The hot tub across all room types adds a special element. Rooms are modern and spotlessly clean, but sizes vary - family suites can be snug for 4 adults, especially when using the sofa bed for additional sleeping. Windows are well soundproofed; with them closed the nearby train line is inaudible. A vacuum cleaner is available on the first floor. No elevator means stairs (2nd-4th floor) need to be factored in for luggage.

Each apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, oven, refrigerator, kitchenware and electric kettle), making self-catering easy for families or longer stays. There is no on-site restaurant or breakfast service. The immediate area, however, is dense with restaurants frequented by locals - including ramen shops, noodle bars (Noodle Yu, Ramen Gonokami Seisakusho, Gomaryu Hyakunincho Sohonzan) and cafes within 0.5 km. FamilyMart and Lawson convenience stores are right outside the station for snacks and supplies. For a fuller evening out, Shinjuku's dining and entertainment hub is a 10-15 minute walk away.

The only dedicated leisure feature is the in-room hot tub, which is available in every double room and suite, providing a relaxing soak after a day exploring Tokyo. There are no on-site pool, spa, gym or other communal wellness facilities. The quiet residential street and effective soundproofing make the apartments a calm retreat, while the bustle of Shinjuku's entertainment, shopping and nightlife is a 10-15 minute walk or a single train stop away, offering plenty of leisure options outside the property.

Wi-Fi is free throughout. Check-in and check-out are fully contactless via door code, which avoids carrying a physical key. The host communicates quickly via messaging for queries. An in-room washer-dryer with provided laundry pods handles laundry without coin-operated machines. A vacuum cleaner is available on the first floor. There is no on-site reception, daily housekeeping, or luggage storage room, but luggage can be left in the entrance lobby at the user's own risk. CCTV, smoke alarms and security alarms cover common areas. No elevator is present - stairs must be used. Cots are available on request. Smoking is prohibited throughout the property. Parking is not offered.
