The best thing about the mid-range Shinjuku Prince Hotel is its location in the bustling area of Shinjuku, close to the train and subway station that gives easy access across the city. This is a large 571-room high-rise hotel offering pleasant rooms with modern amenities, some with scenic city views. Like other Tokyo hotels, the Standard Rooms are small and bathrooms are tiny, but Deluxe Rooms offer more space and seating areas. The hotel is going through a refurbishment and the lobby got a fresh new look in February 2016. On-site features include two restaurants and a cafe, a breakfast service (charged extra), and free Wi-Fi. Travelers should compare rates with the newly renovated E Hotel Higashi Shinjuku, which is also conveniently located, but does not offer breakfast.

Hundred Stay Tokyo Shinjuku is an upper-middle-range hotel catering to the long-term travelers and situated in the bustling heart of Korea Town, a quick walk to restaurants, shops, and two subway stations. Its 102 guest accommodations, which range from Studios to One- and Two-Bedroom apartments, are spacious (for Tokyo) and feature minimalistic, modern decor and techie extras, like iHome docking stations and Bose sound systems. Many rooms also feature kitchens or kitchenettes, which come fully equipped with dish- and cookware. Premiere Rooms are individually decorated, and some offer up luxe amenities and sweeping city views. Public spaces are limited here, with only a business center, little breakfast room, and small fitness center. For a more standard hotel experience guests might consider the nearby Hotel Gracery Shinjuku, though guest rooms here tend to be much smaller.

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku is an enormous mid-range tower hotel set in the heart of Tokyo's busy Shinjuku neighborhood. With 970 rooms, it's massive, though the hotel doesn't offer too much in terms of features. Still, for an affordable Tokyo hotel, it's a solid choice, and there are an Italian restaurant and a pleasant cafe with a terrace. There's even a giant Godzilla statue on the terrace! Rooms are small and bland in terms of decor, but they're clean and offer a great set of amenities, including flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. Other conveniences include a laundry room and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Overall, it's a good value for those looking to be near Shinjuku Station, but there are lots of similar options nearby, such as Shinjuku Prince Hotel, so travelers should compare rates.

Modern and functional, the upper-middle-range Tokyu Stay Shinjuku attracts mostly business travelers with its apartment-like accommodations. But its location -- situated in one of Tokyo’s liveliest neighborhoods, near the busiest train station in the world -- is just as appealing to tourists. The 179 rooms here are larger than others in the city, and exceptionally well-appointed, with washer/dryers, air purifiers, and free Wi-Fi. However, while a prime location and bigger rooms are serious pros, the property's downside is the scant offering of other on-site features: There’s no pool, gym, bar, or even a restaurant. Housekeeping services are also limited depending on the length of stay. Travelers looking for a wider range of features might prefer the equally central Shinjuku Granbell Hotel.

The four-pearl Rihga Royal Hotel Tokyo is surrounded by the green space of Okuma Garden, next to Waseda University. The rooms are large (especially for Tokyo) and, like the rest of the hotel, are decorated in a classic European style. Its out of the way location isn't convenient for much beyond visiting the university, or attending on-site events in the hotel's elegant banquet halls, yet it's still only a 10-minute ride on the free shuttle bus to Takadanobaba Station, which offers quick access to the bustling center of Shinjuku. The atmosphere is more bucolic here, and room rates are lower than at more centrally located hotels such as the Hilton Tokyo near Shinjuku Station, but fees for everything from breakfast to the fitness center and pool can add up.
