Hotel Rose Garden Shinjuku

“Very good start to our trip”

I didn't know what to expect on hotels in Japan. Yes, size will be smaller than in other countries but what else would be different?

I didn't know what to expect on hotels in Japan. Yes, size will be smaller than in other countries but what else would be different? This property is the perfect place to acclimatise and familiarise yourself with teh country and culture. It is located very close to Exit 1 off the Nishi-shinjuku station which is the next one after Shinjuku station. As others have noted, lots of shops around with a Yoshinoya (I think) at the corner. While it is a 'chain' restaurant, one must try eating there as the food is very tasty and cheap. There are ice machines which produced the perfect size ice cubes for our drink bottle (a must during hot summer days - 35C!). It provides amenities, from tea bags to comb and lotion. Pick up as much as you need. Bathtub allowed soaking our weary bones after a long day of walking and eating our way through Shinjuku and Shibuya. Breakfast was plentiful with enough varieties, Japanese and Western. You can order eggs, cooked the way you like it. Don't forget to try the individually packaged seaweed. The staff was attentive and helpful. As always, it would get busy from 8am-ish. Their restaurant was popular with locals, as you can get a platter for around 5000 yen, feeding several people. All in all, I would definitely come back to stay at this property if I'm staying in the Shinjuku area.

Stayed here with my husband and two teenage children for six nights. Beautiful bathroom and can tell that it has been recently renovated. The room was a little tight with four single beds but that was to be expected in Japan. Both room and bathroom were nice and clean with towels, toiletries and water replenished daily. The location of this hotel was perfect. 7/11 on one side, Family mart and Nishishinjuku on the other and McDonald’s directly opposite. Make sure you go to the Can do shop (100 yen) nearby as you can buy lots of small items. Shinjuku station was a 13 minute walk. We used the limobus from the airport which dropped us off locally and then it was a short walk to the hotel. Breakfast was served in a restaurant adjacent to the hotel. It was limited but everything was fresh and of a good standard.
