Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent
"I would stay here again if I ever return to Shinjuku, Tokyo Japan. The rooms are small but comfortable and clean, the staff are helpful and professional. I enjoyed the very large selection at the breakfast buffet and view from the 25th floor. The Hotel is a 14 minute walk to the main Shinjuku train station, the malls, restaurants and bars, 3 D Screen cat and Godzilla, Just far away from all the noise, the gov. building is 5 minutes away where projected light shows on the building are shown nightly. Easy access to Taxi and airport buses."
