Updated and modern hotel. I liked that there was a tub in the room. The bed was a good size. There’s also a desk. Check in was easy and the front desk was nice. It’s close to shops and restaurants. The hotel also has its own restaurants and vending machines Would recommend.

For the price per night I couldn’t fault this hotel. Yes the rooms were small but that’s to be expected, and in Tokyo you’re not in the room much more than to get clean and sleep. Great array of toiletries and additional items in the room, like a shoe horn and shoe buffer. The beds were firm but comfortable. Rooms very clean. Tv has nothing just Japanese speaking channels but that also is consistent with the rest of Japan (suggest bringing a hard drive if you want to watch something of an evening). The hotel in general was good, the rooftop bar has a nice view of Shinjuku and service was good. Vending machines for drinks and snacks downstairs but need to have cash to use. Closest underground stations are approx 10-15 min walk, but manageable. The Golden Gai is a 5 min walk away as are many restaurants. 711 is about 100 metres from the hotel entrance - handy for pre drinks, snacks and fried chicken.

During our five-day stay in the Executive Studio Double Room, we found the room to be cozy and comfortable. The daily housekeeping service was excellent, ensuring that the room remained tidy throughout our stay. Additionally, as guests of the Executive rooms, we were entitled to a breakfast buffet that featured a combination of Japanese and Western options. However, it's worth noting that the breakfast menu remained the same every day. The Wi-Fi connection in the room was reliable and fast, although it required signing in with a different account when using the service in the restaurants or lobby. Unfortunately, we encountered a minor inconvenience during our stay. We attempted to connect a Google TV device to the TV in our room using the available HDMI ports, but we were unable to do so. Despite seeking assistance from the front desk, we were informed that there were no HDMI connections available. Furthermore, we noticed that there were no USB ports in the room, and the electric ports were not conveniently located. We had to use an extension cable at floor level to connect our own USB charger, allowing us to charge our phones at the bedside.

ホテルの朝食のトースターはどうなったのでしょう?パンが焦げて黒ずんでしまったのですが、このまま食べたほうがいいでしょうか? この経験は非常に悪いです。ここには4回以上来ていますが、このような朝食に出会ったのは初めてです。ウェイターが忙しすぎるのか、それとも... ご連絡ください。チェックイン時間は1月21日の913号室になります。 トースターにパンを入れたのは一度だけ Please contact me by my email what I write when I check in.

This is not a 4 stars hotel! 3 stars maybe. Customer service is AMAZING! Rooms are very small and super crowded. They do not provide shampoo and or conditioner. They just put low quality packets/sachets. I won’t come back.

Website pictures are a lie. The positive reviews have to be fake. No way is this a 4 star hotel, maybe a 2 star. There's hardly enough room for one person let alone two people in the room. You have about 2.5 feet of room to walk around. The closet is barely wide enough to hold a small hotel safe and only three hangers. You can hang two jackets but none of your clothes. So, you're literally living out of your suitcase. The bed is shoved up against the wall so you've got to crawl over your mate to get out of bed. No room service. Pick up towels and toiletries from front desk. Two people can't fit in bathroom, and the bathroom door covers the mirror when open. Are you kidding me with the trash bins? And the tiny shampoo and conditioner packets are also a joke. It does have a hair dryer.

I'm rounding up, mostly because of the great location and value. The rooms are small, but it's Japan so that's to be expected. Staff was super friendly, the rooms were clean and it's walking distance to some great restaurants. I'd stay here on a return trip.

Absolutely perfect experience. Small comfortable pristine room, excellent service with a smile. Perfect location, in the heart of Shinjuku but not on a Main Street so very quiet. The bar on the 13th floor has a terrace with a great view. The cafe on the first floor makes perfect cappuccinos and has a pleasant patio. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Shinjuku Granbell for a few days at the end of a 3-week trip to Japan. Hotel: It was a modern hotel that served a very international crowd- including some young, professional, hip, Americans. Our room was spacious with a beautiful large very modern bathroom with separate tub and shower and toilet. The rooftop bar was a fun scene every night until late at night (except the one night when it was closed). There was also a cafe on the first level that served espresso, tea, truffle popcorn, hot dogs, and some good local food options. The breakfast scene was very cool, with incredible views of Tokyo along two windowed walls, a generous buffet was laid out that seemed designed to serve Japanese, Korean, Chinese, European and (to a lesser extent) American breakfast preferences. The staff worked hard and kept everything available and fresh. They had an espresso machine, several juices, yogurt and fresh fruit sauces, cereal, granola, hard-boiled or fried eggs, miso soup and rice and pickled vegetables, noodles and rice, salads, kimchi, shumai, boiled bacon and sausage and a selection of fresh pastries and bread. Amenities: The hotel has laundry machines and also laundry service. There are many vending machines on the first floor where you can get food, beverages and ice cream. The front desk staff will call cabs for customers, store your luggage, and recommend good local places to eat. The neighborhood: The hotel is centrally located at the intersection of a few neighborhoods, shopping/dining/"red light"/gay: where Shinjuku, Kabuki-cho, Harajuku meet. The time of day and the direction you head from the hotel made for very different experiences, all exciting, fun, wildly lit, and slightly confusing. We were not approached or solicited in the red light district, perhaps because we were a couple. And we felt totally safe everywhere we went, as we did in the rest of Tokyo and Japan. A lovely, well-run larger hotel in a great location for exploring Shinjuku and Tokyo.
