NISHITETSU INN SHINJUKU, Tokyo

The hotel sits in a calm area of Shinjuku's west side, offering easy access to transport. The Marunouchi Line subway station is just a few steps away, providing a one-stop connection to Shinjuku Station. The main JR and subway hub is an 8-10 minute walk. Nearby attractions include the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and Shinjuku Central Park (both 750 m). The area is filled with restaurants, and a 7-Eleven is right next door. Despite being close to the busy Shinjuku core, the immediate neighbourhood is quiet at night, though sirens from the nearby police station and hospital may be audible on lower floors.

Rooms are compact but efficiently designed; double rooms measure 16 m². Bed firmness varies - some have a noticeably firm mattress, while others are comfortable. Pillows may be hard, and extra pillows are limited. Twin beds can be moved together upon prior request. Windows have wooden shutters rather than blackout curtains, so some light may enter. Street noise, including pedestrian signals and emergency sirens, can be heard in rooms facing the main road. Smoking floors may have residual odour; non-smoking rooms are recommended for sensitive individuals. Housekeeping is provided every two days, with fresh towels delivered daily. Some rooms show wear, with occasional reports of stained carpets or musty smells; requesting a higher floor may improve the experience.

Breakfast options include a buffet with Japanese dishes (7:00-9:30) or a simpler café set (pastry, sandwich, beverage) available until 11:00. The café also provides lunch and snack items, and guests receive a discount. There is no dinner restaurant on-site, but the surrounding area has numerous dining options within a short walk. For late-night needs, a 7-Eleven and several fast-food outlets are nearby. The hotel has vending machines and microwaves on guest floors.

The hotel offers in-room massage services, which can be arranged at the front desk. There is no spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre. For relaxation, guests can use the coin laundry's foot massagers. The area around Shinjuku Central Park and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building provides walking opportunities.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, though connectivity may be weak in some rooms; using the lobby may improve signal. Luggage storage is free with large lockers in the lobby, and the front desk can hold bags for up to two days or while traveling. Laundry facilities include coin-operated machines (¥200 per load) and a paid full-service laundry. Parking is available for ¥2000 per day, no reservation needed. The hotel accepts package deliveries for guests (name must match reservation, payment in advance). Luggage forwarding via Yamato transport can be arranged. Check-in is from 15:00 to midnight; after midnight, guests use an intercom to enter. Check-out is 10:00. Payment can be made by cash or major credit cards. No airport shuttle; the nearest limousine bus stop is at Hilton Tokyo, a 5-minute walk.
