Independent hotels in Central Tokyo, Tokyo

"The location of this hotel was in a neighborhood. Local eating establishments were within walking distance of all directions, friendly staff clean hotel in the area felt safe. It was further away from the center of attractions however, the area felt safe."

"Perfect stay, the room was spotless and spacious, right in the heart of the shopping, very convenient, and calm"

"I knew this hotel was in a Business district before I booked it and it was actually not bad. The location is super convenient with a short walk to Oedo line and a few more steps to the much larger Shimbashi station it offered an easy way to get around Tokyo and because you’re in a Business district just avoid the rush hours and it’s quite nice. Evening time may not have as many dining options as other areas but there was a decent selection close by. Room was clean and well kept. They offered a free baby crib which was a huge plus for us. Garbage bins and towels were changed daily and the bed was made but the sheets weren’t changed daily but that was okay with us. Room size was typical for a Japanese hotel but it had just enough space for us. Upon checkout we left an item behind in our room and we called the moment we noticed it was missing and the hotel found the item and they held it for almost two weeks while we travelled Japan and picked it up on our return to Tokyo before our flight home. We would definitely stay here again."

"very clean room, nice view, polite and friendly staff, excellent service"

"Excellent location. Pay more and get a room facing Tokyo Tower."

"Perfect base to explore Tokyo. Love that it’s a few steps from train station. "

"One of the tallest building and we have a beautiful view of the city. "

"The Grandbell Hotel Shinjuku is a good, safe, and modern hotel, but it sits right on the edge of Kabukichō, which is Japan’s largest nightlife entertainment district. It’s a mix of tourists, bars, neon lights, nightclubs, promoters, hostesses, and love hotels. It’s not unsafe, but it definitely has a nighttime atmosphere that feels very different from the rest of Tokyo. Despite how Kabukichō looks: • There is no violence • There is no crime targeting tourists • No one is going to bother you • There is no physical danger walking at night • Police patrol the area constantly It is not a dangerous neighborhood. The Grandbell is located in a kind of “middle zone”: • About 3–5 minutes from the quiet Shinjuku Gyoen side • About 3–5 minutes from the brighter, busier Kabukichō area You will not see explicit behavior, harassment, danger, or anything aggressive. Japan is extremely strict about public conduct."
