Hotel Sunlite Shinjuku

Location is great, Shinjuku is amazing.

Poor laundry facilities and they don’t budge on the early check in. Rooms are tiny even though on their advertising it says bigger rooms then normal.

10 minutes walk from Shinjuku San-Chome Station or 15 minutes walk from Shinjuku Station. Not a bad location, the extra distance was a trade-off for the price. Good size rooms. Facilities and quality of the room mostly comparable with big-name hotel chains. Staff were incredibly helpful in having my suitcase couriered up to my next multi-night-stay hotel, allowing me 3 days of Shinkansen travel and one-night stops where I didn't have to worry about dragging a large, heavy suitcase with me.

I suspect the windows aren't double-glazed, as there was a very noticeable temperature drop near them, especially if opening the sliding paper screen in order to adjust curtains, etc. Sound-proofing of the rooms wasn't great. There was at least one school sports team staying in the hotel, across multiple floors, and by god you could hear them almost any time of morning, evening and night... Not much in the immediate area in terms of food or late-night activity - requires a 5 - 10 minute walk to find food options that aren't convenience stores. But if you're not usually heading back to your hotel til late at night just to sleep, this might not be a problem for you. (Still several convenience stores close by, and a bakery inside the hotel, plus vending machines. So snack runs are still available.) Not a huge problem for me, but something to note/consider for other potential guests.

Great location, simple but clean room.

Bed was quite hard, but I still got a good night's sleep.
