There was a U-shaped lock on the door. Next to the door was a ligh switch and a key card holder.

My room was a small room with only 15 square meters, so if you are staying with large luggage, you may have trouble getting into your luggage. The room was chic with dark brown furniture and a black striped carpet.

DSC05139-copy

The bed is 140cm wide, and it is big enough to sleep alone, but it may be a little tight for two people to sleep together.

If you do not need the towels and sheets to be cleaned, you can fill out this form and receive a 500 yen voucher at the front desk that can be used at the stores and restaurants that are managed by the hotel. They seem to be working on saving the environment.

Summary

The “Shinjuku Prince Hotel” is built in a very convenient location, but it has been a while since the hotel opened, so the rooms were a little old. You can hear the sound of trains from the outside and you can hear voices and noises coming from the corridor. The lobby floor was renovated and beautiful, but the rooms were a bit disappointing. Because it is connected to the station, there are many people waking around in the morning and evening which is commuting hours. I recommend this hotel for those looking to stay at a hotel in a convenient location.
