Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku

Great hotel; interesting location

This was a great hotel: inexpensive, clean, quiet, friendly and comfortable. Others have complained about room size, but our twin-bed room was comparable to NYC and European hotels as well as others in Japan. The breakfast buffet (Japanese and Western) is excellent and though it isn't cheap it's well-priced if you want a full meal. The Shinjuko location is great to experience the size and intensity of Tokyo, and you can easily get anywhere else by metro. It's also close to the nightlife district if that's of interest to you. Ginza-area hotels would be more convenient to tourist attractions like the fish market and Kabuki, but they also have the downsides of being more touristy. One recommendation if you choose this hotel: take the airport limo that drops you directly at the hotel rather than coming in by train. The Shinjuko station is truly huge and bewildering (and my comparison is NYC) and not something I'd want to tackle for the first time with luggage and jet lag.

Great location, staff, room, everything!

Everything about this hotel was wonderful. The location was unbeatable, next door to the subway entrance as well as a short walk to the train station. The range of food and shopping available within walking distance was incredible. The rooms were clean, and the staff members (who all spoke English) were very friendly and helpful. Although the hotel is located in Shinjuku, the room was very quiet. My family enjoyed it very much and will definitely use this hotel again if we go back to Tokyo.

Loved this hotel for all reasons

This is a wonderful hotel. We got the upgraded room due to reviews that the rooms were small and it was a perfect size for the two of us and our 2 pieces of luggage. The location near the Shinjuku Station cannot be beat. Also the proximity to the shopping, dining, and sites is another bonus. Would absolutely stay here again. The prices per night are also a really great deal considering the average prices for hotels in Japan.

Great location

The hotel is located very close to the Shinjuku Station, it's a very nice neighborhood and convenient for traveling by subway. We stayed in this hotel twice.We had very small room the first time, and it wasn't a big issue, but we had 2 big suitcase so it was very cramped in the room. Then we went to Kyoto for 2 days and we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel, which was great. When we returned we were upgraded to a bigger room that had computer and printer, however we never used it because we had our own laptop. The room was much bigger and I really liked it. Overall,I was very satisfied with the hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Small rooms but with everything you need.

The double rooms were small just enough for two people. The available walking space in the room is like a "L" shape with the width of a standard door way. If you're carrying a lot of luggage it may be a problem as it can take up a lot of valuable walk in space. The check in counter has a very friendly staff and understands/speaks English. Elevators require room keys to prevent unwanted visitors as well. The location may be hard to find at first as its between larger buildings but it is just a few blocks away from the Shinjuku JR station (Exit through Southern Terrace). Don't be afraid to ask the locals either, just mention the Hotel name even if they don't speak English and they will point you to the right place. Besides just being near the subway stations, shopping areas and many food places are just around the corner as well. Very convenient.

Great for the price

Skip the breakfast buffet - over priced, other places in the area. There is a train to Narita. Express entrance is by Starbucks: need to get tickets at main entrance earlier (tracks 5 or 6). Happy Hotel bus stops in front of hotel. Green intiatives at hotel (!) rare for Japan. Didn't wait for elevators. No concierge - front desk doesn't do much with sights but they do give a guide. Ok information. Non smoking rooms have non smoking bedding - huge plus!

Great room for the money

This was our first time to Japan and we expected to pay a lot more for a hotel room of this quality. The room was inexpensive and very clean. The location is just 2 blocks from one of the major subway stations and close to a lot of shopping.

Better Than Expected

The location of this hotel in the heart of the business district of Tokyo and just across the street from Shinjuku Station, had me concerned. For the cost, I was doubtful that this hotel would be comfortable and the service good. But I was wrong. The service was great! The food was good and the beds werent' too hard by US standards. Only recommendation for fellow travelers is don't plan to arrive before 3:00 because you will have to wait in the lobby to register. Shopping within walking distance is great and there is a Starbucks and Krispy Kreme nearby :)

Great Hotel

We stayed at 3 hotels during our stay in Japan and this was definitely the best value for the money.

Awesome for it's price

The hotel was great in every way, the staff, location, and condition of the hotels are perfect. For it's price, i m overwhelm. just one thing..the size, but it's Japan, and it was fine for me and my husband. couldn't ask for better.
