Hotel Villa Fontaine Tokyo-Shinjuku

Great location! It’s located sort of on the edge of Kabukicho, which is the “red light” district, but it’s a pretty great area, always packed full of people! Because it’s on the edge, it’s a little quieter, which I would consider a benefit. Hotel is literally right across from a laundromat (40min and like 1000 yen for a wash and dry) and two convenience stores; you also have access to three good train stations, which makes transit even more straightforward. Staff is excellent and helped us with everything! Friendly and polite and speak great English. They’re responsive over email as well if you need to ask them for anything. They assisted us with our luggage transfer. Room felt a little bare bones at first, but I quickly became fond of it. Washroom and shower are fairly large, and we had enough room on the ground to lay out two suitcases and still had walking room. Air conditioning works well, there’s also an air purifier. Hotel provides things like shampoo, body wash, conditioner, hair dryer - you can also pick up other stuff like cotton swabs, instant coffee, green tea, sponges, razors, etc. easily at a little stall on the first floor.

Room was a good size, with a table and chairs. Bathroom was spacious with a separate toilet, shower and bath space. Decor was unique, with a neon light on the wall. Location was great, close to multiple train stations, convenience stores and even a don quiote. Korea Town is also nearby.

Clean and functional room, staff friendly but check in not the smoothest although they are trying to move to self check in via computer, there always needs to be someone there to troubleshoot. Staff speak pretty acceptable english. Location is perfect, right in the center of shinjuku and also right next to where an airport limousine drop off/pick up is.

Great value for money. Excellent location and room size. We got the queen size room and it was great - good bed size. Lovely big bath. Easy walk to station. Very quiet despite location - slept well every night. If you are looking for a budget hotel near Shinjuku station this is a great choice. Would happily stay again

Tokyo hotels are usually super small but I found this room to strike a good balance on size. I could actually open my luggage and walk around the room, something that I feel was impossible in other hotels I stayed. The bathroom also has a really good size. I didn’t feel claustrophobic at all! There’s a TV and projector on the room which was super cool to play games in a big screen during rainy days. The hotel staff was very nice and welcoming too.
