Kadoya Hotel

Kadoya Hotel

There are 3 criteria that I look for in booking a hotel in any parts of Japan and they are:
a)Easy access
b)Central location
c)Budget

The Kadoya Hotel is a typical Japanese business hotel located west of JR Shinjuku station. It is a mere 3 minutes walk (5 minutes for us) from the JR Shinjuku station, 3 minutes away from Yodobashi, and 1 minute to cheap restaurants. If you are feeling peckish at night, there is a 24-hour convenience store right next to the hotel too. The central location makes for a most convenient place to stay for those intending to explore Tokyo. For those not intending to go beyond Shinjuku, this hotel is within walking proximity to shopping areas and restaurants. The perfect hotel for me!

We had booked 1 triple and 1 twin-sharing room. Both rooms were furnished in modern western-style. What surprised us was the spaciousness of both rooms and bathrooms, most atypical of the usual crammed rooms offered by business hotels in Japan.

This hotel also allows early check-ins but imposes a surcharge (by the hour) for late check outs. However, check out time is at 11am instead of the usual 10am which means we get to sleep even later in their comfortable beds. For those of you who are worried about communication, most staff speaks English.

We were given discount coupons for their in-house cafe but did not utilise them. We did take advantage of their "Pleasant Sleep Program" where guests can request for additional Tempur pillows.

*Ahhh bliss....*

We were able to negotiate our luggage easily to and from the JR Shinjuku station to the hotel. The map and directions were clear and the hotel is fairly easy to find once we got our bearings right. In all, we paid less than ¥7,000 per person per night. This is one hotel we will definitely return to should we ever visit Tokyo again.
