WPUE HOTEL SHINJUKU, Tokyo

The hotel sits in a central but relatively quiet block, within a 5-minute walk of Shinjuku Station's west gate exits (D4 stair or D2 elevator). Direct train and bus connections to both Haneda and Narita airports via the Shinjuku Express Bus Terminal (10-minute walk) and Narita Express. Restaurants, convenience stores, and attractions like Omoide Yokocho, Golden Gai, and the Godzilla head are all within a few minutes on foot. Shops and pharmacies are close, and the immediate area offers many non-touristy dining options. Walking to Meiji Jingu takes about 30 minutes, and Harajuku's Takeshita Street is around 45 minutes on foot.

Rooms range from Single to Triple, with Double and Twin options also available. All have a private bathroom with bath, shower, and bidet; TOTO washlet toilet seats are fitted. Each room includes bathrobes, slippers, complimentary toiletries, a work desk, TV, and an electric kettle. Room sizes vary-some are compact, especially for two people with luggage, while others are noted as more spacious for Tokyo standards. Bed quality is generally praised, and rooms on upper floors are reachable by lift. Windows are frosted and can only open a crack, which limits outside view and natural light but maintains privacy. Air conditioning is controllable; some units may not allow adjustment. Noise can travel between rooms and from the street, so earplugs are provided.

The complimentary breakfast includes croissants, bread buns, coffee, tea, orange and apple juice, plus margarine. For a simple start to the day it is convenient, though more extensive options are limited. The on-site restaurant, WPU CAFE&DINER, serves international cuisine for lunch and dinner (opening times: daily 12:00-23:00, Sunday until 18:00). The cafe also offers a craft beer bar, which operates evenings and features live DJs and a youthful atmosphere. A shared kitchen with microwave, kettle and fridge is available for guest use. For those wanting more variety, countless restaurants and casual eateries are within a short walk.

The hotel organizes regular events like happy hours and temporary art installations, adding a social, youthful vibe. The shared lounge area is spacious and comfortable for relaxing, reading, or working. No pool, gym, or spa are available. The immediate neighbourhood provides ample entertainment, including bars, nightlife, batting centres, and cinema within walking distance.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. The 24-hour front desk offers concierge service, luggage storage (including for multi-night breaks), and luggage forwarding. Laundry facilities are on the 6th floor (washing machine and dryer). Services include daily housekeeping (with room sign), safety deposit box, and vending machine for drinks. The shared kitchen on the lobby level has a microwave, kettle, and fridge. An iron is available in the laundry room.
