E Hotel Higashi Shinjuku

Good location, small room

Pros: Very convenient to metro and in a good area. Hotel is clean and staff is friendly.

Cons: Room is tiny. Didn't know this going in and booked for myself and a friend. Two beds wasn't an option and the room was really uncomfortable for two people. Bathroom is also tiny and there's no space for luggage. If I had known about room size in advance I would have booked elsewhere

No frills, good location

Pros: Close to train stations and within walking distance of popular area in Shinjuku. Looks modern. Comfy bed and pillow.

Cons: Got the smoking room, provided febreze-like spray but didn't help. The bathroom smelled gross, like wet old clothes. Inside of toilet was not cleaned. Weird brown marks, with pubic hair, on the bathroom door. Shower curtains had a nasty smell that the spray couldn't remove. Room is small, even for one person with a carry-on sized luggage, but that's expected in Tokyo.
