Shinjuku Prince Hotel

“Perfect location for stay in Shinjuku”

Traveling to popular cities like Asakusa, Ginza, Roppongi, Shibuya, and Ueno is made easier by the hotel's proximity to the train station.

“Hospitality was valued ..”

Shinjuku Prince Hotel – thanks! Hello, I’m a Canadian musician/piano tuner living in Tokyo, just turned 70 years old about a week ago.

Shinjuku Prince Hotel – thanks! Hello, I’m a Canadian musician/piano tuner living in Tokyo, just turned 70 years old about a week ago. I’d had a music-performance&party of my own on Dec.8, so stayed at the Shinjuku Prince, arriving after midnite. After a short stroll around Kabukicho to see its (& some ratty critters’ ;-) ) liveliness at the time – I hit the sack rather late, perhaps 2 a.m. .. Following morning after a good sleep, I couldn’t find any coffee or teapot for in-room beverage (turned out later to be in a drawer), so decided to head down to B1F to see the Prince’s well-reputed breakfast selection in the marche-market shops section. Well – the staff were already clearing the tables for lunch, so I thought I was too late – bit Manager UPRETY thrust a tray into my hands, and said, “Have what you can .. Here!” – and seated me in an out-of-the-way spot, in the almost empty (but busy!) dining room. .. And of course as a good manager, asked for my room-keycard to confirm that I was a Shinjuku Prince customer. So I was able to have breakfast at the basement B1, on my 70th birthday morning!!

“Get the larger room if you want more comfort.”

We first booked the smallest room with two twins and its similar to the two other smallest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. Once also in Tokyo and once in London. These are those ultra tiny rooms where there's absolutely no floor space to open your luggage. I was somewhat OK with the tiny room bu… more

We first booked the smallest room with two twins and its similar to the two other smallest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. Once also in Tokyo and once in London. These are those ultra tiny rooms where there's absolutely no floor space to open your luggage. I was somewhat OK with the tiny room but my gf wasn't so we upgraded. It came out to an extra $95 USD/day but the larger room was like 2x larger and much better. I'd say do the tiny room if you're on a really tight budget, are traveling alone and only staying for a short trip - or if you plan on spending as little time in your room as possible. Otherwise the hotel is pretty good. It's not a luxury 4-star hotel, but maybe something like an older Marriott. Totally fine and comfortable (once we got the bigger one). Only thing I wish they could control is the halls smell like carpet cleaner. It seems like they can't open the windows or properly circulate outside air so the cleaner smell just kinda sits. The location is great if you're looking for a lot of action, energy, and night-life. There's a ton of restaurants nearby. Kabukicho is basically the red-light district and party area and unlike other parts of Tokyo, you will find trash on the streets, probably mostly from tourists or drunk locals that forgot their manners. Other parts of Shinjuku are right around the corner and tons of great restaurants there too. We didn't try the breakfast. We thought we'd try it at least once but there's just too many food options in Tokyo. Btw, there's a place directly across the street with these dishes of grilled fish with rice and miso. This is a type of traditional japanese breakfast. That place is really good. Their most popular is a mackerel and second is the salmon belly, we tried both. Really good, but I liked the mackerel a bit better. I think it converted to like $7 USD. There's no gym on site and I did a lot of eating. I overheard the hotel staff recommend a gym nearby, but I found a kickboxing gym a 10 minute walk away, look for "muay thai hostel" on google maps - yeah you can sleep there too. Its 4000Y per day to train but its really more like one-on-one with a trainer, so its very reasonable for that. Really nice guys, no experience necessary. Also, there's a coin laundry right next to them so you can wash your clothes while you train.

First time to stay at Shinjuku Prince. Great location for shopping, eating and accessing transportation. I returned my car rental in Odakyu Ace building which is about 10 min walk. I can walk to Shinjuku station for my meetings in less than 10 min. Upon my departure to airport, it's only few min walk to Airport Limousine bus at Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. My son enjoyed walking to Alpen Tokyo as he checked for new Nike model. We also went to have dinner in yakiniku place nearby. The only negative is the room size which is probably expected in any hotel in Tokyo.
