Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were small but enough space for 2 large suitcases. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the highlight, such a good choice of things to eat and an amazing view over Tokyo to enjoy. The location was good, about 10 minute walk from Shinjuku station which connects you to main touristy areas really quickly. I would 100% recommend and would stay here again."
