The Best Affordable Hotels in Tokyo

"Neighborhood: ShinjukuPrice: From $279 per night Just steps from Shinjuku Station, Hotel Groove is a top contender for a budget traveler's first Tokyo trip. When it comes to the design, the hotel takes a lot of inspiration from the surrounding neighborhood. Each of the 538 guest rooms are mindfully decorated with an eclectic mix of unique art and furniture inspired by the energetic entertainment scene of Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district—while still being tasteful and subtle. Beyond the entry-level Superior rooms, the sleeping quarters are quite large compared to other budget-friendly accommodations. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide the feeling of more space and a grand view of the city below. The decor is striking with colorful rugs, playfully textured pillows, and unique wood paneling—creating a bit of distance from the cookie-cutter hotels in the area." - Paris Wilson
