HOTEL GROOVE SHINJUKU, A PARKROYAL Hotel

Excellent stay overall! The only downside was a bit of noise, but the service was exceptional. They offer Chinese-speaking staff, and we even received complimentary drinks upon arrival. We stayed for 5 days, and since our triple room was on the highest floor (23rd), I slept closest to the window. The subway noise downstairs was still quite audible. We ended up asking the hotel for earplugs, which helped. There are plenty of food options nearby, and the subway station isn't far, making it convenient to get around. The only thing is, it wasn't cheap, haha. The room was cleaned perfectly every day! Really great, just a tad on the small side.

One of the tallest hotels in Shinjuku (shares the same tower as BELLUSTAR but is lower in price and floor level). My room on the 32nd floor already felt much higher than the surrounding buildings. Of course, if the budget allowed, I'd still choose BELLUSTAR. Shinjuku Station and Kabukicho are right downstairs, making it very lively. The hotel room isn't too small, and the high-floor views are excellent, overlooking the surroundings and the performance stage below. Breakfast is decent, but there's often a queue due to the crowds.

The hotel is pretty good, located in the bustling Shinjuku Kabukicho area. It's about a ten-minute walk to the subway, and there's an airport shuttle bus stop right downstairs, which is super convenient for getting to the airport. When checking in, definitely avoid rooms on the east side; below is Shinjuku Station, and the constant traffic noise will keep you from sleeping. I firmly requested a room change, and the front desk staff were great, changing it promptly.
