A three-minute walk to the Kiba subway station, Tokyo Kiba is a “capsule hotel,” offering basic budget accommodations. The 120 capsule rooms are not much bigger than the size of a bed, and are stacked one on top of another, like enclosed bunk beds. Tokyo Kiba has capsules large enough to sleep two (which is rare), along with its single-size capsules. There are tiny Single Rooms with mini-fridges, kettles, mounted flat-screen TVs, and attached bathrooms with showers. All capsules have TVs, radios, and alarm clocks. Bathrooms are shared, and there's a sauna, Japanese-style public bath (onsen), and a lounge. Free Wi-Fi is available in the lounge area, and there's breakfast and dinner service. Travelers looking for more privacy should check out the Nishi Shinjuku Hotel Mystays, a good budget option.

Dai-Ichi Hotel Annex is a mid-range business property situated in the Minato area, a short walk from Shimbashi Station. The 180 rooms here are simple and comfortable, with double-glazing that reduces, but doesn't eliminate, noise from nearby trains. While the bathrooms are bigger than average for Tokyo, sleeping areas can feel cramped, without much room between beds and desks in some units. Hotel features are limited, though there is an Italian restaurant -- Trattoria La Paranza -- with a good wine list and buffet breakfast service (for a fee). There are also a guest computer in the lobby (fee) and free hotel-wide Wi-Fi, but not much else. Travelers may want to also consider the adjacent sister property, Dai-Ichi Hotel Tokyo, which has larger rooms but more of an Old World decor scheme (and higher rates) that may not suit everyone's taste.

Green Plaza Shinjuku Capsule Hotel is one of the biggest capsule hotels in Japan, with 593 capsules (enclosed bunks) for men only -- although there is a separate women's section made up of 30 bunk beds in a dormitory setting, as well as an on-site beauty parlor and sauna. The men's section has an attached bathhouse, spa, and sauna. Some past guests are put off by the communal bathing facilities and the abundance of rules enforced by the management, which give the hotel an institutional feel. For example, guests can't leave the premises after check-in without requesting a pass. Travelers keen on trying the capsule experience might also want to consider the nearby Shinjuku Kuyakushomae Capsule Hotel, which is smaller, immaculately clean, and seems to have a more relaxed atmosphere.
