Citadines Central Shinjuku Tokyo

location

Great little hotel in an excellent location. Right in Shinjuku at the entrance to Golden Gai. Five minute or less walk to Shinjuku JR station. At first we were worried about the size of the room but after long days exploring Tokyo all you really need to do in the room is sleep. If you like a firm mattress you will LOVE this bed. We slept better here than at home! Bathroom was very clean, and we loved the separate shower/bath concept. Ate at the breakfast buffet a few times, which had a good balance of western and Japanese foods to try. Most of the breakfast spots nearby don't open until 10-11 so consider buying the breakfast at check-in if you are an early eater.

There is not a ton of space for luggage storage, but that is to be expected. The room has a small couch which for us became luggage and souvenir storage so it worked out. As others have mentioned, there is also the strange situation of having to take one hotel to the lobby and another to the street. However, if you are leaving early enough, the escalator will be set to go "down" to the street level.

Great location

The hotel is located a short walk from the Shinjuku train station in Tokyo and located in a area with great nightlife
