E Hotel Higashi Shinjuku

Rooms where small and comfortable, hotel is in a very noisy location. Our only issue was that the staff wouldn't call us a taxi when there was a large storm so we had to stand in the rain for 10min while trying to hail one. Other hotels we stayed in in the area all where happy to organise them in the past.

Good location, very close to Higashi-Shinjuku subway station. This is different to Shinjuku JR station where you take JR Yamanote line (15 mins walk from the hotel). Hotel cleanliness is good and in well maintained condition, the only drawback is the small size of the room, but this is expected from most hotels in Tokyo.

Small rooms which made the place very cramped for two of us.

The room is very very very small and not designed properly. On the hotel description, its says that the hotel have restaurant/café and its a LIE. The so called "café" is the "Tully's" café house that located just down from the hotel, but not directly related to the hotel (except a voucher that the hotel sell to the guests). Moreover, on the hotel description its says that there is a safe in the rooms, also incorrect. If you don't have to stay in this hotel, look for other hotels in the area (located about 11-12 minutes walk to Shinjuku station, but have a metro station with 2 lines just near it). This hotel is probably the worst I had in my journey, that included several guest houses.

An affordable hotel to stay if you are not the fussy kind . You might need to request additional pillow in your stay as the one provided is too soft and small. Other than that, you pay for what you get. Kind of common for japan hotel.
