Tokyo Plaza Hotel

Booked for a twin / double bed for the 3 of us. The room came with a double bed + a single bed. Location is conveniently located between the Okubo and Shin-Okubo stations and about 1km walk to Shinjuku. It can be quite noisy at night due to unloading activities. There is a flight of steps up to the hotel lobby on level 2 - so not suitable for those on wheelchair or strollers. There is a 24-hour Don Donkey next to the hotel and makes shopping convenient. Bathtub is deep but there is a high raised step into the toilet. The only issue for this hotel is the need to check out by 10am as compared to other hotels. Slightly older rooms still using Physical Key as compared to modern hotels. However, this works for us.

We stayed her for a few nights at the beginning and end of trip and it ticked enough boxes. For the british reading this is a premiere inn without the breakfast option and needs some TLC and a refresh. What’s good: - The hotel is next to JR rail stations, one is the Yamote line which can get you to most places in Tokyo. - The beds are comfy - The staff are friendly and helpful - You can check in early for 1000 yen - You can leave your luggage for free in reception pre check in and post check out. - Room size for Japanese hotel rooms this was one of the biggest ones we stayed in. - Wifi is fast and reliable - every room has its own wifi. What needs improvement: - Full mattress protectors - Refresh - everything is a bit tired and a fresh lick of paint, some sanding, polishing and updated TV’s would be nice. - charging points - not all rooms had charging points between the beds. Plus different sockets had different charging capabilities- as in the ones near the kettle would charge devices fully but the ones between the beds / by the team would not. I would most likely stay here again because of the location, room size and the price. The main draw back is it does need some series TLC and refreshing.

Stayed at Tokyo Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku and had a great experience! The location is super convenient, just minutes from the station and surrounded by cool shops and restaurants. The room was small but clean and comfortable, perfect for a few nights. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great value for the price!
