Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district is the closest that Tokyo comes to New York’s Times Square. That’s probably all you need to know – if you like that sort of area, you’ll be happy with the location of this hotel. It’s great for those who want to party in Kabukicho or who just want to be relatively close to Shinjuku Station.
Triple room, Japanese-style
The hotel itself is stylish and efficient, with rates that are quite reasonable for Shinjuku, especially considering the views over the city. A few guests have complained about the service and the lack of bathtubs and proper walls around the showers in some of the rooms. Check out the reviews carefully and decide if this is for you.
Bathroom
Overall, if you’re looking for a mid-range hotel near the chaos of Kabukicho, you’ll probably like the Groove.
