This hotel is located quite near to the JR Line and the Odedo line is just besides it. So it is easy to move around in Shinjuku area and to other parts of Tokyo. The hotel room is spacious by Tokyo standard and is really true value for money.

We stayed at the Keio Plaza for five nights in October. It's about a 10 minute walk from Shinjuku station, and opposite the Tokyo Metropolitan building (which, incidentally, you should pop up if you get a chance – it’s free, and has amazing panoramic views over the city). Leaving the hotel, one direction takes you to and through the Shinjuku shops, whilst the other takes you... nowhere in particular. This means you’ll get to know the route from the hotel to the station very well, as you have to take it to get anywhere.

We didn’t have breakfast included in the rate, but – Tokyo being Tokyo – there are several (probably several dozen) coffee shops nearby. The hotel has a number of restaurants, all expensive, none hugely inspiring (although it does have a branch of the excellent Kyubey sushi restaurant – but we’d recommend going to the original in Ginza for the true experience).

As a hotel it was perfectly fine for our purposes, though it's absolutely huge and without much character. The main reception is rather grand, with glittering chandeliers and polished marble, if that’s your thing. While it was clear the room had fairly recently had an update (and was huge by Japanese standards, and included free wi-fi), this had not extended to the bathroom which felt a bit shabby.

Overall though, a good hotel for a good price.

You walk right out of Shinjuku station`s western exit through the covered sidewalk and right there is the hotel. 47 floors worth of it. Find the hidden elevators on the lobby floor and get up to the 47th floor to see the skyline. Many restaurants available in the hotel, but we chose little restaurants outside. Also go to sizzler when you get tired of tempura. It is a nice change. This is the first hotel I've ever seen where the handicap room has a height adjustable bed. You can raise it, raise just the feet or just the head. Wonderful. Spacious room with two beds. VERY small bathroom with impossible to use sink. The whole time I was there I used the first floor HUGE accessible bathroom for everything except showers. Once again, no roll-in showers. I brought a portable bathtub lift.

This place is convenient, the rooms are large, and the staff is fantastic.
