I really liked Hotel Rio overall. The location was great and made it easy to get around, and the hotel itself was nice and comfortable in most ways. The only downside was the bed. It was very uncomfortable, and I had a hard time sleeping during my stay. Aside from that, I enjoyed the hotel and the convenience of the location.

There’s a 7-Eleven and a Family Mart less than 5 mins away walking. Theres a 24/7 Don Quijote right across and there’s many Korean restaurants, cosmetic shops and souvenir shops nearby. Check-in was very easy and fast and so was check out. Rooms were a good size me and my brother could leave three luggage bags open and still have time to move around.

The room was decent but quite small for two people with big suitcases. There is no closet - only a few hooks on the wall. We stayed for three nights and had to live out of our suitcases - so it was a challenge to move around. But if you travel light - you will be fine. Great location. Right across the alley ftom Donki. Also only about a seven minute walk to several train stations. We also walked to the heart of Shinjuku in less than 15 minutes.

It is a comfortable bed and much cheaper than anything else in Shinjuku, based near/in the Korean district and next to a Don Quijote - staff were very accommodating in regards to having to check out at 5am and the hotel was always open for us. Does get loud outside but close the windows and turn on the air con if too warm :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Rio! The room was very well sized for the area and super comfortable, and the staff was very nice and helpful.

The location is also unbeatable - you’re just a few minutes walk from Kabukicho as well as Shinjuku and Okubo stations, which gives you easy access pretty much anywhere via the Yamanote Line. The 24h Don Quijote across the street is also helpful for anything you may have forgotten to pack.

One thing to note - it’s not a quiet part of town, though this didn’t bother me at all. I actually really enjoy hearing the sounds of the city. Just something to keep in mind!

Overall, would highly recommend Hotel Rio to anyone staying in Shinjuku! I’ll certainly be returning the next time we visit.

The staff was helpful with checking in and held our luggage on the day of our flight. It was located near subway stations and some major shopping areas. The room was clean, a decent size and it had all the normal amenities you’d expect. The walls were a little thin, we could hear the neighbor’s tv but maybe they had the volume really loud. I didn’t hear any talking, but they might have been alone in the room.

Great stay

The front desk staff were lovely, we did use google translate to converse but overall super helpful. The hotel itself is a bit of a walk from Shinjuku station but there are other train stations nearby.
Overall great hotel, as most hotels in Japan it is small but we found it quite spacious.

The shower and bathtub was huge. Toilet had its own room and was easy to use.
The interesting cute part was the wallpaper was all Mickey Mouse.

For us this room served its purpose, a place to rest. We spent the rest of our time exploring Shinjuku and the surrounding area.

I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a good price and nice sleep. The beds were firm but I had an excellent sleep. Nice pillows.
There was no room key but a code which was nice you don’t have to worry about loosing a physical key.

If you’re on the fence just book it. You can take an uber from the train if you’re not too keen on walking from the train station.

If you have kids I maybe would not recommend this place the location is nearby an area where there are a lot of clubs. Night life is bumpin’ in Shinjuku if you’re a couple or people with no kids it’s a fun spot.

Did not share photos but the photos online are accurate they’re more of a 0.5 ratio so it’s smaller than you think but the rooms have a really good layout.


Overall excellent. If we come back to Shinjuku we likely will stay here again. Don Quixote is right next door! Such good shopping.

Just book it alright?

Nice hotel with a few inconveniences

Nice location and spacious room. The room was fairly clean and had lots of amenities (it also had a hair curler which i loved).

However, the check-in and check-out process was a bit frustrating, as I didn’t receive a reservation number or QR code when booking through Hotels.com, so we needed assistance from the staff. After checking out the first time, we also had to pay ¥6000 to store two bags overnight while we went to climb Mt. Fuji, even though we were returning to stay at the same hotel the very next day. Might as well have booked another room and left our bags in there…

Staff were very friendly throughout the stay, room had kettle, fridge and microwave which was convenient. Hotel was well situated for train stations and shops, despite being in a busy area we were rarely disturbed by noise from outside. Laundry room was a nice bonus especially as you didn’t need to provide washing detergent. Overall, a great experience at this hotel, the building is showing its age in places but this does not detract from all the positives.

Good location but security is questionable

Hotel location is good, 15 min walk to Shinjuku Stn, 5-10 min walk to other stns. Room was clean and comfortable, big shower with tub. Seperate toliet room. Doesn'thave daily room cleaning, you have to request it. The security of the hotel is of concern. No one mans the front desk. Every time we went in and out, no one was there. Anyone can enter the hotel and elevator requires no key card to get onto the floors, so security is none existing. If solo traveler and security is top of list, this hotel is not it.
