Hotel Amanek Shinjuku Kabukicho

Heading right to Kabukicho was quite a way to kick off our first ever trip to Tokyo/Japan. It's probably the grittiest location we could've picked, but still felt safe.||As to be expected, the room was small, and the mattress was on the ground, but had everything we needed. It was a good base for the first four nights of trip. There is so much to see nearby and each access to transit (as there is everywhere in Tokyo) never left us without anything to do.||Value seemed good compared to nearby options.

Location was good and clean. They gave us a welcome drink ticket each. We arrived 15 minutes before check in but they were making everyone wait til 3 which we found a bit odd because then there was a rush to check everyone in waiting. I accidentally booked a Japanese room so the mattress was on the floor but it was fine! The room was fairly spacious overall for Japan

One of the best locations in Kanukicho, comparatively near to Shinjuku Stn and within reach of late night food options. Room was very clean and well maintained, and toilets are huge too with separate shower and bath.

Place is very nice. Not too far from the Hyatt I stayed in last time. It was raining and umbrellas were provided for. The front desk are very helpful and nice. The nut lady who expected royal service, go stay at the Hyatt. There’s no luggage service here so no, no one has to help you with your luggage. There’s a fridge in the room, Lawsons and vending machines are across the street. They never said they will give you coffee or tea so where would they get the tea to give you? Out of their own money? I didn’t realize humanity means giving someone free stuff that isn’t part of company policy. How about you give me $100 since I need to pay for the taxi ride and it’s raining? Eye infection amd they need a doctor ASAP. Being a doctor, no I am not running to treat your eye. I tell people to use a warm towel over their eye a few times a day for 3-4 days. There’s your treatment. I’ll bill you $150. Woe is me. A stye. What a big nothing. I hate when people write about their stupid requirements like it’s required and a given in every hotel. Stay in the Hilton or Hyatt if you want freebies and luggage service.

Absolutely perfect position for Shinjuku and not that far from Shinjuku station. Rooms were excellent...bar the lighting in the amazing bathroom.... not that great for shaving or doing makeup. Outside that was very good. Staff very friendly. Definitely worth staying in if you are really wanting to experience Shinjuku over 24 hours.

Nice and clean hotel. We stayed on the 13th floor in room 1302 -7D6N. Overall, everything was fine, and the staff were very friendly, always greeting us with smile whenever they saw us. The only downside was that it could get noisy after midnight if we opened the windows to let in some cool air. Shinjuku area is more of an adult nightlife district, so it may not be suitable for families with children. Aside from that, everything was good.👏🏻

The hotel is located on a quieter side of Shinjuku, which I appreciated. The bed was comfortable, though like most hotels in Japan, the room itself was quite small - no surprises there. The 2 stars rating is almost entirely due to the young male front desk staff member working around 1:30pm. Customer service was basically nonexistent. He gave off the strong impression that helping guests was a personal inconvenience and that he’d rather be anywhere else but there. A smile, some basic engagement, or even minimal effort would’ve gone a long way. I hope management addresses this through proper retraining, as the service fell well below expectations.

As a solo traveller this hotel was sized just about right. What I liked is that you can store your luggage under the bed for more walking space. I just dont like that they dont clean the room everyday. It is around after 2 nights before they do. But they do replace the towels. The bathroom is spacious but the sink area is a bit small so water can leak to the floor. Location is near restaurants and bars. It’s on the more quiet side of shinjuku. A bit of a walk to the subway but still alright.
