33 Best Hotels in Tokyo for Families, Couples, and Solo Travelers | Condé Nast Traveler

"At the fresh‑faced Hotel Groove I appreciated colorful carpets and wooden paneling that elevate the property beyond typical budget hotels; rooms are comfortable and functional, larger than average in many categories (helpful for special‑needs or older travelers), feature floor‑to‑ceiling windows, and include artist‑designed suites plus some traditional tatami and futon options—coin laundry is a handy perk for longer stays." - Brandon Presser

"At the Hotel Groove, rooms come with colorful carpets and wooden paneling to elevate the offering beyond paint-by-numbers accommodation. A great pick for those who aim to spend minimal time in their rooms, exploring the city instead, but want comfortable—if predictable—digs for a good sleep at the end of a busy day. A boon to special-needs or older travelers who need extra space to move around, Hotel Groove’s sleeping quarters—beyond the entry-level Superior rooms—are reasonably large compared to other properties in this price range. Floor-to-ceiling windows create an even greater sense of grandeur, and the decor is functional but with a few pops of texture and color to distance the vibe from cookie-cutter hotel blocks. At the higher end are suites designed by noted Japanese artists, not to mention some traditional-style accommodations (tatami and futons), too. Coin laundry is a surprise perk for long-staying travelers. —Brandon Presser"

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

Hotel Groove Shinjuku, A Parkroyal Hotel

"Why book? Great prices and the convenient location next to Shinjuku Station make this a top contender for budget travelers’ first Tokyo foray. Set the scene At the brand new Hotel Groove, rooms come with colorful carpets and wooden panelling to elevate the offering beyond paint-by-numbers accommodation. A great pick for those who aim to spend minimal time in their rooms, exploring the city instead, but want a comfortable—if predictable—digs for a good sleep at the end of a busy day. The backstory Esteemed Asian hospitality chain Pan Pacific recently launched two new hotels—one lofted on top of the other—in a glittering tower high above the evolving Kabuki-cho red-light district near Shinjuku station. The Groove is the more fiscally approachable property (the other is the high-end Bellustar Tokyo on the lower floors, but still high enough that guests can take in the sweeping skyline from the large windows. The rooms A boon to special-needs or older travelers who need extra space to move around, Hotel Groove’s sleeping quarters—beyond the entry-level Superior Rooms—are reasonably large compared to other properties in this price range. Floor-to-ceiling windows create an even greater sense of grandeur, and decor is functional but with a few pops of texture and color to distance the vibe from cookie-cutter hotel blocks. At the higher end are suites designed by noted Japanese artists, not to mention some traditional-style accommodation (tatami and futons), too. The neighborhood/area Kabuki-cho has long been the choice destination for Tokyo’s sketchier night scene, but the shimmering tower in which the Hotel Groove inhabits is the area’s first essay at appealing to a more mainstream crowd. While the surrounding blocks have limited appeal, you’re only a stones throw from the fun micro-bars of Golden Gai, the LGBT scene of Shinjuku Ni-chome, and the street eats along Omoide Yokocho. The service Although popular with large groups, the hotel’s lobby has a rather small footprint, which can make check-in a bit crowded. Anything left to mention? Coin laundry is a surprise perk for long-staying travelers in Japan. Direct airport limousine (read: coach) buses are handy, and a rarity for newer properties in Tokyo." - Brandon Presser

Good hotel for location For getting around Tokyo this is is a well located hotel. If you want a peaceful hotel, this it is not! Even on the 38th floor we spent the night listening to sirens and trains. the roons were all different and comfortable. Breakfast was problematic. Space in the dining room is at a premium, so expect delays being seated at peak times. Breakfast starts at 07:00hrs. We were in a queue to be seated at 06:50hrs!!

During my business trip to Tokyo in May, I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Groove Shinjuku, and I must say—it was an experience I’d happily repeat for my leisure trip this time. From its sleek design to its unbeatable location, this hotel truly stands out. The hotel is nestled in the vibrant heart of Shinjuku, just a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. What makes it even more special is that it’s part of a landmark building housing a cinema, diverse restaurants, offices, and even an arcade—making it a lively hub day and night.|The views from the hotel are stunning. Many public areas and some rooms offer panoramic views of Shinjuku Station and the bustling cityscape—a treat for both early risers and night owls.|I was impressed to learn that the hotel’s culinary team includes alumni from Hyatt, and it shows. Breakfast was a highlight—offering a wide variety of options in an interactive open-kitchen setting. It’s the perfect way to kickstart an energetic day.|And here’s the cherry on top: the hotel’s direct airport shuttle service stops right at the entrance. This level of convenience, combined with the overall value, makes Hotel Groove Shinjuku a total win.|If you’re looking for a stylish, well-located, and thoughtfully designed hotel in Tokyo, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s part of the experience.

I really enjoyed our stay here! It was close to the train and right in the middle of the action of Shinjuku. I was worried it would be noisy but it wasn’t. The bed was really comfortable, had everything we needed and the view of the city was incredible. Check in and check out were quick and so easy, and they offer you a complimentary (non-alcoholic) drink at check in. No issues with elevators like I’ve had with other Tokyo hotels (ie. long waits). It was my birthday and they left a thoughtful gift and card in our room when we arrived. We’re not party people but we loved staying in the centre of it all - close to shopping, trains, great restaurants. I would have loved to end the day in an Onsen but Therme-Yu is close by. I would recommend this hotel to others and would definitely stay again!

This is a great base for the Tokyo leg of your trip to Japan. Yes it’s right in Kabukicho, which is the “red light” neighborhood of Tokyo, but the rooms are high above the noise and there is tons to explore in the area even after the trains stop running. The service was impeccable. I recommend getting a step or two above their base room type, and ask for a room high up with a good view. We had an amazing view of Tokyo with floor to ceiling windows. The rooms are simple but spotlessly clean and luxurious- they provide every amenity you can think of, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, skincare kit. Honestly if you just showed up here bringing absolutely nothing you’d still be all set. True Japanese hospitality! The shampoos smelled amazing and I appreciated the cute PJs in the room. On our second stay here, we stayed in the suite, which had incredible views and about 70 feet of windows. A perfect choice if you want to get the view of the city lights at night. Like I said, this is right in kabukicho, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea but honestly it’s one of my favorite areas of Tokyo. The crowds, 50 restaurants on every block, shopping, and right above Shinjuku station. Overall a great experience and I’d recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo.

The hotel staff was all very young, all spoke good English and even though we could do self check in, one of the staff members assisted me throughout, while another served welcome drinks and gave my kids complimentary toys. The room we got was situated on the 34th floor and the view was like an observatory! The amenities are unrivaled! Everything was top quality! Location at Kabukicho was perfect to go everywhere in Tokyo. The Airport limousine is just downstairs of the building. Tons of food options around the area. The only thing is they did not have a bath tub, but that’s ok. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will recommend to anyone.

We have found this hotel experience excellent. Staff here are super friendly and helpful. Most speak fluent English so made us feel very welcomed. Rooms are very comfortable and kept very clean. There is a great view as the rooms are located above 18th floor and we can see the Godzilla statue above Toho cinemas. Pros: - great location close to many shops, restaurants and convenience stores - decent breakfast available on Level 17 every morning. - very clean and comfortable. - convenient washing machine, dryer and fridge in room - excellent service from staff Cons: - have to take a lift to level 18 for hotel lobby then a separate lift up to rooms. - you will hear ambulance or police sirens during the night but it is not too loud.

We really enjoyed our stay for 4 nights. Room was thoughtfully arranged with everything you need for comfort. The room is not big but that’s expected. The bed was super comfy and looked like a super king bed. Breakfast had plenty of good choices. We had diner one night which was lovely. The staff throughout were polite and helpful. Can’t fault this place really. And it was well located for Shinjuku shop, food and station. Highly recommend.

Good and bad, staff lovely, rooms nice clean and well appointed. Lobby does not work as designed, its a chaotic mess, not a place to relax, meet and greet, multiple lifts required to get around the building. Breakfast quality is high, however avoid the hectic chaos after 8am, poorly designed spaces, tables jammed together, no room, coffee queue around the room, everyone is on top of each other. Bar was nice and drinks high quality. Its really over priced, everything is priced 5 star but the hotel is too focused being cool instead of focusing on delivering the basics travelling customers require. If you want a relaxing place to unwind after the fun that is Tokyo, spend your cash elsewhere.
