A straightforward value hotel that's only an eight-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, Nishi
Shinjuku Hotel Mystays attracts both business and leisure travelers. The 102 modern rooms are small, but attractive, with flat-screen TVs, small speaker systems, and free Wi-Fi. In-room massages can also be arranged for a fee. No breakfast is served, but a restaurant that shares the building is open for lunch and dinner. Guests might want to compare rates at the Hotel Sunroute Higashi Shinjuku, an attractive mid-range property within a 15-minute walk of Shinjuku Station -- it serves a breakfast buffet and has a Chinese restaurant on-site.
Scene
Value hotel popular with business and leisure travelers
With its flat, gray facade and concrete pillars, Nishi Shinjuku Mystays' exterior doesn't inspire much on first glance, but the hotel is more about function over form. A set of concrete stairs stretches above
the entrance to the parking lot, and the look once inside the hotel is modern, but without frills. The small
lobby has marble floors and concrete front desk, and the vibe is similar to an office waiting room. There isn't really anywhere for guests to hang out, although there four red stools and a tiny table to one side, and Lavazza coffee is available in the lobby all day. Right off the lobby is a restaurant (not owned by the hotel) with a bright, airy dining room and a curved window. Guests here come from all categories, including couples, business travelers, and those traveling on their own.
Location
On a side street within walking distance of Shinjuku Station
Nishi
Shinjuku Hotel Mystays is located on a side street surrounded by office
buildings, across the street from a park. There are plenty of
restaurants in the area, and it’s only an eight-minute walk from Shinjuku Station,
a major transportation hub. Trains from here are available to sights throughout Tokyo, including the famous Shibuya Crossing (18 minutes) and the Imperial Palace (40 minutes). Tokyo’s largest entertainment area,
Kabukicho, which includes the red-light district, is about a
10-minute walk from the hotel. The massive Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, which
offers an amazing view of the city, is an 11-minute
walk away -- entry is free. Haneda Airport is about a 30-minute drive away, while Narita International Airport
is about a 80-minute drive from the hotel depending on traffic. Both are reachable by train as well.
Rooms
Small but attactive rooms with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and speakers
The 102 rooms at the Nishi Shinjuku Hotel Mystays are modern, with sleek, black headboards, carpeted floors, charcoal accent walls, and trendy black-and-white photography. Rooms have frosted windows, so there are no views, and like many hotel rooms in Tokyo, though, they are tiny -- some offer no more than 11 square meters of space (118 square feet) including the bathroom. For its two-and-a-half-pearl rating, though, features are plentiful and include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges,
humidifier/air purifiers, electric kettles, trouser presses, and small sets of speakers for MP3 players. Beds have memory foam mattresses and a choice of pillows. White-tile bathrooms are narrow and basic, with shower/tub combos, electric toilets, and toiletries.
Features
Free Lavazza coffee in the lobby, Japanese curry restaurant, and coin-operated laundry

While it's not owned by the hotel, Amanogawa restaurant serves Japanese-style curries and has a selection of sake available for lunch or dinner. Breakfast is not available. Guests can help themselves to Lavazza coffee in the lobby all day. Vending machines sell drinks, and there's a microwave available for guests' use. The hotel has a coin-operated laundry room, and dry cleaning services are available for a fee. In-room massages can be arranged, and extra toiletries, including razors, shaving cream, and shower caps, are available at the front desk. Garage parking is available for a
