Hotel Villa Fontaine Tokyo - Shinjuku

Staff were very welcoming and helpful with any needs be it needing a shower cap to booking a taxi to Shinjuku bus terminal with all our luggage. Room was cleaned wonderfully each day. Bed is hard as per other reviews but we didn’t mind it, pillow was also small and on the firm side. If your not used to Tokyo hotels you may find it difficult with luggage but we simply moved the desk chair and placed one luggage under the desk (as I prefer to keep mine open) and my husband kept his at the end of the bed (just had to open it each day when he needed anything and moved the humidifier to the corner of the bed). Plenty of amenities were provided at the lobby in front of the elevator and on the room floor by elevator. There was a vending machine on ground floor which we used multiple times. There are also laundry facilities but we used the clothes line above the bath and washed what we needed ourselves in the room. You are right within walking of Kabukicho area, not great if you have kids perhaps with all the clubs as it can seem a bit seedy but for adults it’s fine and safe. Shin Okubo area (Korea town) is literally across the road and a straight walk. Great little Korean street food stall in front of Don Donki. There’s also a family mart and 7/11 within meters of hotel. Shin okubo station is a little walk but not too far, same for Higashi Shinjuku station (metro line). JR Shinjuku station is a walk but not far. Hotel was nice and good value. Would recommend.

Rooms were neat, space efficient and had everything we needed, walking distance to stations and choose to multiple 7-11 and family marts. The only downside is the beds are a bit hard and can be tricky to get a good sleep on of you like softer beds.
