We loved this hotel! Everyone is friendly and helpful. They offer terrific amenities like drinks and toiletries. We loved our private sauna and it was easy to use. The location is great, walking distance to subway stations, stores, and restaurants. We slept well here due to quiet rooms and comfortable beds.

Although the room was a bit small for 3 people, it was clean and nice. We didn't use the sauna (plenty hot weather in July) but imagine during a winter visit it would have been really nice!

Staff was helpful and every afternoon when we got back to the room, they had additional water and other drinks waiting for us.

Location was great, close to lots of hustle and bustle of Shinjuku but still a quiet room to unwind and relax.

Staff was accommodating and very helpful. Rooms and bathroom was clean. Cleaning staff did an excellent job. I realize most rooms in Japan are small so don't expect closet space and it is difficult maneuvering more than one large suitcase. There is more space in the room with a sauna. Also don't forget to try Edy's bar across the street. Unique and fun place to go is a must.

We had a great stay at Hotel Villa Fontaine Shinjuku! The staff were very friendly and nice and always greeted us whenever we left and came back. The rooms are small, so if you are looking for a bigger room this might not be the place, but small rooms are very typical in Japan! We had no problem being in the room with two carry on suitcases and one check-in sized bag. The bed was also super comfortable. We would stay here again! Thank you so much Hotel Villa Fontaine Shinjuku!

My boyfriend and I stayed at this property during our trip to Tokyo and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were very helpful and even as far as going to exchange our coins for dollars that we needed on our trip. When they cleaned the room, everything was well cleaned, and everything was folded and put back on the bed neatly. It was very quiet around the area, even though it’s in a very busy part of Shinjuku. We love the fact that there were two 7/11a on each side of the building. We loved it!

Amazing stay overall! The location was definitely one of the best parts. It’s within walking distance to so many eateries, convenience stores, and great spots to explore. There’s even a Don Quijote right across the street, which was incredibly convenient for snacks, shopping, and last-minute finds. There was also a 7-Eleven right on the corner and a FamilyMart on the other side, which made grabbing quick meals, drinks, or anything we forgot super easy.

The rooms are very, very small, so if you’re used to more space, definitely keep that in mind but honestly, that’s pretty common in Japan. Even so, it was still very doable, clean, and comfortable enough for sleeping and getting ready after long days of exploring. The location and convenience alone made the stay worth it. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was our first hotel in Tokyo and it was a great way to start. Conveniently located in Shinjuku, it was awesome to walk just a couple of blocks and be right amongst the Shinjuku scene and energy. The staff was very helpful as we were getting settled. Fun interior with the neon. Fun place to stay at a great price.

pros:
Location was good, 10 minute walk to the train station, nearby convenience stores and a lot of restaurants, korea town, etc. Quiet street, so noise wasnt a problem, great room soundproof as well. Loved that they changed the towels and give 2 bottles of water and empty the garbage EVERY DAY. Staff was SUPER kind, theres a currency exchange machine at the lobby (but rates are bad, theres a nearby currency exchange store) Free amenities (unlimited, as needed) like hair brush, toothbrush, bath towel scrub, pajama. Hotel uses yamato to transport the luggages, i used it to transport them from tokyo to kyoto, was seamless the process. Apparently you can also leave your luggages before check in and after check out.

cons
Small room and you cant open the windows which i felt suffocating sometimes due to the small space.
Air conditioner can be weak.
Sometimes the bathroom will have sewage smell.

The bed was comfortable and AC was available if needed, although we did not need it much. Bathroom is large. Staff is friendly. We were allowed to store bags until we came back from a side trip. Convenient location close to Don Quijote, restaurants, shopping, train station and main attractions. Overall the stay was good but I would be aware of the size of the room.

The air conditioner was effective but hard to use. The room was beyond tiny and everything was dated, very 2004. However my biggest issue was the stale cigarette smell in the room. We picked this hotel because of the location, which made all its faults bareable. We only stayed one night, so maybe that's why we were given such a subpar room.

When I walked into the room I was shocked at how small the room actually was. The bed and pillows were hard as a hard with springs being poked into my shoulder and couldn’t sleep comfortably at all. The walls of the bathroom were dirty and had some sticky residue with hair. The room also had a feint smell of something that I couldn’t shake off. The hotel lobby and hallways smelled of some type of citrus cleaner, perhaps lovably to mask the bad smell of whatever it was. Had to cancel my booking and ended up biting the bullet without getting a refund. Booked at another hotel for the same price with better cleanliness and amenities.

Overall don’t recommend this hotel. Especially for the price they were charging

Shinjuku but quieter

Nice hotel, good bathroom facilities with a deep bath, perfect as some who is 6’2”, I was able to soak up to my neck comfortably.

Room size was on the snug size with two full size suitcases and carryon taking up a fair amount of the floor space, but not unusual for the location.

The beds were a bit on the firmer side, a little too firm to allow for solid sleep, but that might work for others.

Amenities included were the usual affair, and with a good sized 7/11 and FamilyMart on either end of the block, supplies were easily accessible.

Far enough out of the main hustle of Shinjuku, but close enough that walking to the station is a 7-10min stroll.

Hotel was doing renovations on some floors when we stayed, however the noise levels were unnoticeable, and the construction crews polite.

Stayed here for two weeks. Fantastic location only a few minutes walk from the heart of Shinjuku nightlife. About an 8 minute walk from Shinjuku station which takes you everywhere you could want to go in Tokyo and beyond.

Staff were fantastic with excellent English. Very friendly and helpful, and willing to hold onto our luggage after checkout until our flight.

The room was clean and cosy, with a deep bath and wide shower head. Toilet has a bidet, tap water is cold and drinkable. They provide towels, toiletries, drinking water, a kettle, a fridge, and AC all for free. The TV was also big and easy to use.
I personally enjoyed the bed quite a lot but my Fiancé had some difficulties with the Japanese-style pillow of having a soft top and a beanbag-style bottom. Luckily the hotel is a 2 minute walk from Don Quijote, which sells just about everything you can imagine to make your stay comfy.

The hotel is surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, a batting cage, and bars just down the road. Really a perfect location.

Overall, a fantastic and cheap option for anyone wanting to stay in the hustle and bustle of Tokyo’s nightlife capital. No complaints here. Much love from the UK.
