Top hotels in Shintoshin
Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
Twin room had a decent amount of space for Tokyo. Good central location although a bit of a ‘party’ area in the evenings- never felt unsafe though. Great view of the city from our window. Check in fairly straight forward. Pillows a bit uncomfortable and bed reasonably hard. Overall pretty happy ...

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku
We only stayed one night, so it is difficult to say how the hotel is, but it had a cool vibe. We arrived on Friday night and DJ was playing at the front lobby. Generally the decor was mostly black. The hotel staff were very nice. The bakery attached to the hotel looked really good.
