There are quite a number of hotels located in Shinjuku, as it has really good access to various tourist locations, which is one reason many travelers choose to stay in this part of town. Due to this, these hotels all seem very similar, and it can be hard to figure out which hotel suits you best. In this article, we are going to introduce Shinjuku West Exit's 5 most popular hotels, and their special features.

1. Washington Hotel

The large building located next to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, housing 1,297 rooms, is the Washington Hotel.

Right in front of the hotel, there is a bus stop for a limousine bus that shuttles from Narita Airport and Haneda Airport to the hotel (charges apply). There's a convenience store, restaurant, and even an izakaya (居酒屋, Japanese-style bar), which means you can get just about everything you need without stepping foot outside the hotel. We recommend this hotel for those who want to relax during their trip.

Furthermore, it only takes an 8-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station South Exit's underground passageways to reach the hotel; you can walk from the station to the hotel without getting wet even on rainy days. (Underground passage is open from 6:00am - 10:45pm)

If you're in a hurry to check out, rest easy as there are automatic check-out machines, allowing you to check-out quickly. Plans including breakfast are available from around 10,000 yen. The hotel can assist you using up to four languages: Chinese, Korean, English, and Japanese.

2. Kadoya Hotel

Kadoya Hotel is a business hotel located a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku West Exit.

Guest rooms are stocked with carefully selected bedding items. Many of the staff are certified "pillow advisors", able to help you choose the best pillow for you. While it is a business hotel, it also features traditional Japanese-style rooms that are particularly popular with overseas guests. Refresh and fully recharge here, then maximize your tour experience the following day.

There's also a computer available on the first floor lobby that's free to use, located next to a cafe where you can get some breakfast. The tamago kake gohan (raw egg and soy sauce mixed into fragrant rice), is quite the popular menu item. The prices for a stay at this hotel start from around 10,000 yen. The staff here can speak English.

3. Nishitetsu Inn

Found 2-minutes on foot from West Shinjuku Station, and an 8-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station West Exit is the conveniently located Nishitetsu Inn. Staff in this hotel can help you in either Chinese, Korean, English, or Japanese. With prices starting from around 9,000 yen, and featuring simple clean rooms, this hotel is popular for its affordable price.

Guests at the hotel can also take the hair brushes, shave razors and other such amenities available to them on the first floor in front of the elevator. The hotel also has free Wi-Fi that can be used in all areas, so you can don't have to access the internet via expensive auto-roaming.

4. Tokyu Stay Shinjuku

We recommend the Tokyu Stay Shinjuku for those who are looking to stay for longer periods, as the hotel has rooms that come stocked with a washer/dryer, microwave, and mini kitchen. It's also very conveniently located at a 3-minute walk from the Toei Oedo Line's Nishi Shinjuku Gochōme Station, and an 8-minute walk from Tochōmae Station.

You don't have to worry about safety at this hotel, as the entrance uses a key-card system, ensuring that only guests are allowed inside. How does a delicious, highly-rated breakfast buffet set a low price of 500 yen sound to you? Single rooms start from 13,000 yen a night. Staff in this hotel can speak English.

5. Keio Plaza Hotel Shinjuku

The Keio Plaza Hotel Shinjuku, with it's high-class feel, is conveniently located a 5-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station West Exit, and a 1-minute walk from the Toei Oedo Line's Tochōmae Station. As this is a high-rise hotel, guests staying on the upper floors can catch a good view of Shinjuku.

Inside the hotel, there's not just a Japanese restaurant, but also a Chinese restaurant, amongst several other kinds of high-class restaurants. We especially recommend the Japanese Sake Bar Amanogawa. This bar features all kinds of Japanese sake, and even houses some sake that you won't find in the marketplace. You can savor the exquisite taste and allure of Japanese sake. Prices range from around 15,000 yen per person, per night, all the way to upwards of 50,000 yen per night. Also take heed, as there are no single rooms in this hotel. The staff here are able to help you in English.
