First of all, I am still staying at this hotel as I am writing this review. I have sinced stayed 3 nights out of 8. Secondly, I understand that hotels in Tokyo are small and expensive in comparison to other major cities around the world -- we reserved a double room for 4 nights directly online from their website.

Stayed at the Star Hotel in Shinjuku in Dec 07. As others have mentioned, the hotel/room is nothing exciting, a clean, functional place to crash after sightseeing or shopping all day. The rooms have everything you need. The best aspect is the price and location, very cheap for the quality and location. They stored our bags before check-in with no... more

First of all, i was in Tokyo like 2 years ago, sorry for the late review but i didn´t use tripadvisor by that time. Well, i spend like 3 nights in Shinjuku Star Hotel, it was in December 2005. The itself is european style so as you can expect there are standar beds and bathrooms. My room had one double... more

Stayed at the Star Hotel in Shinjuku from 1 - 6 September 2007. I chose it primarily for its location and it sure didn't disappoint. Paid USD120 per night for our 5 night stay. The hotel is a 5 minute (or less) walk from Shinjuku Station. Those who know Tokyo would know that Shinjuku is a behemoth of a train... more

I spent two nights at this hotel. The service is good. For me, the best thing is the location. This hotel is easy to find and it is near the JR station, so it is convenient for travellers to visit the famaous spots. more

This is a good hotel, very close to the Shinjuko JR station. From there you can easily take a train/subway to the most important sites in Tokyo. Shibuya is just a couple of stations away. The rooms are relatively small, but clean. Food is very good, with a good combination between western and japanese styles. Staff was always extremely helpful,... more

limo buses from narita usually drop you off in front of the hotel you're staying, but not to the star hotel. the closest drop off spot is at a mall so prepare to walk through a mass of human traffic, 5 intersections, downhill sidewalk, and 50 pachinko parlors that wreak of cigarette smoke. if you have a ton of luggage... more

A typical Japanese business hotel overall that offers good value and great location. Details: Location: This is its strongest point. It is less than a 5 minute walk from the west exit of Shinjuku JR and its various department stores, and even closer if you want to get on the subway or the Odakyu line. Many convenient stores and eateries... more

This misses out on full stars because our room/floor felt very smoky. From what I understand, you are asked to not smoke in bed but this doesn't mean you can't smoke, so try and ask for a n/s floor. That apart, the location cannot be faulted. Less than 5 mins walk from the west exit of Shinjuku and just across... more
