Clean and comfortable”

easy to find if you know how - when coming out of shinokubo station (and you can only come out on one side) look left along the road and about 100m along on the right hand side of the street you will see the tokyo plaza hotel sign in red. the immediate area is reasonably quiet (it is tokyo) there are a range of food places from convenys to small sit in eateries, the breakfast at the hotel is a good deal too. we mostly caught the train first thing in the morning to sight see, really easy and quick to travel all over tokyo on jr lines and cheap too if you buy an all day ticket- pretty much you are a maximum of 1/2 an hour away from anything in tokyo. the hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and with helpful staff, rooms perhaps are smallish but we fitted in fine with all our skis and luggage, and is good value - but check their website first. if we stay in tokyo again we would stay here

Perfect location relative to everything in Tokyo!”

Just a few steps away from JR Yamanote Line’s Shin-Okubo station, Tokyo Plaza Hotel stands conveniently along great Jap restaurants as well as groceries. A Don Quijote store is practically right next door! There’s a Family Mary and a 7-Eleven on the same street too. The hotel is pretty standard in terms of your regular budget hotels in Tokyo hence, a pretty small lobby (need to take a few steps up from the main door to reception), basic amenities and room sizes. We booked two double rooms and one twin-single room since there were 7 of us. Bathrooms were the typical size of Japan budget hotel bathrooms. I like that they clean the rooms every day and changed the towels. I would love for them to do some deep cleaning and vacuuming every once in a while to get rid of collected dust under the beds and the little nooks and crannies of the rooms, but otherwise, they did a pretty good standard room cleaning. I’d definitely stay here again when I’m back in Tokyo!

Exceptional”

We had a great stay at Tokyo Plaza Hotel! The Hotel is conveniently located right next to a JR Yamanote line station which makes getting around super easy. If you don't mind a bit of walking you can easily reach Shinjuku by foot as well. There are lots of covenience stores, restaurants, shops and bars in the area and it's always busy. Staff were always very friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed breakfast.

Affordable, convenient location, value for money ”

Our stay at the Tokyo Plaza Hotel was pleasant. It was centrally located and close to the city. Although we always had to change trains at Shinjuku and the train fare between Shinjuku and Shinokubo isn't exactly cheap. When we checked in we had a problem in that I had booked a Double but did not realise that it was only for one person - surely a reasonable person could assume that a double room was for 2 people? Anyway, we simply paid a little extra and we were good to go. The person who organised our check-in that night wasn't very good at English so it was lucky that we had a friend who could speak Japanese with us. The hotel has a strict policy regarding people going to your room but not staying with you - they must be out of the room by midnight. The bedroom was well equipped with fast and free wifi and it was spacious enough for 2 people. The bathroom was a little squishy but clean so it was bearable. The toilet was a standard Japanese toilet with 'spray', 'bidet', etc. They provides all amenities needed such as a brush, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush. The room also had a good hair dryer, TV and air conditioner. The room was cleaned daily and towels/robes replaced. Other hotel workers were very pleasant and had pretty good English skills. Overall we were satisfied with our stay at Tokyo Plaza Hotel and would not mind staying there again.

Perfect location”

I stayed here for 4 nights during my stay in Tokyo, this hotel is amazing with staff that can speak English very well. We arrived around 12 noon and they let us go into our rooms straight away instead of having to wait until the check in time at 3pm. Room is very clean, with 1 single bed and 1 double bed. Toilet is small but like common bathrooms in Japan. There are heaps of 7-11s, drug store and eateries around this hotel. Such as Yoshinoya, McDonalds etc.. across the hotel (towards the right side from the entrance) there is this ramen shop which sells delicious ramen for only 500 - 700 Yen per bowl and on top of that, they offer you free noodle top up if you still hungry! Best part about this hotel is the closeness to the "Shin-Okubo" station which is part of the JR Yamanote Line stations. So if you want to go to Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara etc it's very very easy... it's approximately 3 - 5 mins walk from the hotel. There is always many people around the station and around the hotel even late at night. Will definitely come back to this hotel, only because of it's price and location. only 1 stop away from Shinjuku! and 4 stops away from Shibuya.... Hope you enjoy your stay.

Comfortable and memorable stay!”

We went with our 3 children (aged 2-7). We heard how small rooms in Tokyo are and were not surprised that our room, with two double beds, was barely enough to fit all 5 of us. Pros: - Hotel was less than 5mins walk from Shinokubo Station (JR station). Very convenient. - Halal eateries easily available. Located right in front of the station. A mosque is also available there. - FREE in-room Wifi. - Affordable. - English-speaking and friendly staff. Cons: - JR station has no lift or escalator. Had a slightly difficult time handling the stroller, luggage and kids. But the Japanese are very nice people and ever-ready to give you a helping hand! :) - Hotel is on the second floor of the building. Difficult for families with stroller and/or large luggages. - Room did not seem to be vacuumed properly. Found dust and hair on the floor on the very first day. But all other things in the room is clean and comfortable. Overall, it was a pleasant experience at Tokyo Plaza Hotel. Our main priority was access to a train station and halal food nearby. The hotel met these requirements. Would definitely go there again when the kids are much bigger! :)

Good deal, great location ”

I had a very good time in Tokyo Plaza Hotel. The hotel itself is about 5 minutes away from the subway station and the station is very convenient to discover Tokyo. (JR yamanote) Location is one station away from Shinjuku (where you can find the Shinkansen for Kyoto), 5 minutes from Harajuku / Omotesando, less than 10 minutes from Shibuya. It's just easy! The room was nice and clean, and not that expensive for Tokyo. Room service each day to clean your room and change the towels, bed sheets... My chinese neighbours were a little bit noisy but the place was calm overall. Shin-Ōkubo (Korean district)is safe and you can find plenty of little restaurants everywhere. I would definetely come back in this hotel! And a big thank to front desk girl, she helped me a lot during my travel, she speaks english and she has a cute smile! ;)

My Go To Hotel whenever I visit Tokyo”

Have been staying at this hotel every single time I came to Tokyo. Price is very reasonable compared to other hotels that are further with lesser amenities nearby. The hotel is sandwiched between two train station which are less than 5 mins walk away only. A JR station and a non JR station. This area is known as the little Korea town in Tokyo so there’s a lot of eateries and shops around. Grocery store, convenience store, 24 hours eatery, even a newly opened 24 hours don quijote just beside! Highly highly recommend this hotel. Staff are friendly and most importantly they even will keep my luggage for me safely when I sent it over from Osaka for a few days for no charges as I was Flying from Osaka to Hokkaido for a few days. Comfortable beds, nice shower and room size. Looking forward to my next stay in Tokyo at this hotel!

Good hotel but location not perfect”

I chose the Tokyo Plaza Hotel because of the good reviews about its “good position”. Well, guess what? The position is NOT so good, at least travelwise: I guess what usually travellers look for is an underground station not so far away. In this case, this hotel is actually very close to a station, but it is a JR station. This will sound as great news to those fans of the JR network, but visiting Tokyo does not necessarily needs that railway, which is rather expensive if compared to the subway system. In this case the Tokyo Plaza Hotel is rather far away from the closest subway station (15 to 20 minutes of a regular walking pace do not make a hotel ideal in me personal opinion).

Great value and amazing location ”

Very good value for money considering Tokyo prices. The location is a couple hundred yards to the station and a 15 minutes walk to Shinjuku central. The area felt very safe and we also liked that it was not full of tourists so we got to experience the true Japan culture. the staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was bright and airy with large windows. Our room could have done with a bit of DIY but considering it was a budget hotel we had no complaints. Our only problem were the pillows were very hard.

Great location”

Tokyo Plaza Hotel is an excellent place to stay with a great location in Shinjuku ! It is close to the Okubu station. The room was very tidy and clean and the staff was very helpful and polite.

Superb service”

Great customer service of hotel staff. Helpful in all possible ways, they even give guests coupon discount for don quijote. The hotel is just 150meters from shin-okubo station of yamanote line but the station itself has no lift nor escalator, you need to carry your luggages using stairs. There are nearby restaurants, convenience store, supermarket and don quijote. Will definitely book Tokyo Plaza Hotel again.

Great location”

Tokyo Plaza Hotel is in a great location, literally 2 minutes walk from Shin-Okubo Station which is on the Yamanote Line (essential for getting around Tokyo). There are also plenty of options nearby for eating, as well as convenience stores etc. the hotel itself has seen better days and is pretty shabby although it is great value for money in such a great location. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

First time i n Tokyo Japan”

Actually i"m happy in tokyo plaza hotel 6 nights ,Hotel staff is friendly and feel very nice,Nearly hotel have many restaurant ,pharmacy and souvenir shop,if my friends come to tokyo next time,i must introduce to my friends this hotel,Thanks all hotel staffs ,Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

Amazing! ”

i asked a few people if they knew where the Tokyo plaza hotel was and nobody knew so we decided to go on a walk and see if it turned up. In the next 30 seconds of taking a left outside the Shinokubo station we found the big red ring across the road and were instantly relieved of how close it was! Shinokubo is a great location and is on the loop line for JR rail which makes it super easy to get wherever you need to go, I would definitely recommend!

Convenient Location with many eateries around”

It was a pleasant stay for us as we were travelling with 3 young kids. We highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for one that is near the station. It's only 2 mins walk from Shin Okubo station and about 4 mins from Okubo Subway station. There's McDonalds nearby the hotel which is just a few steps from Shin Okubo station. There's 7-11, Lawson, Circle K & Family Mart all within walking distance from the hotel. There were plenty of eateries around the hotel and you can never get hungry here! Really strategic and convenient for us. The only setback of this hotel is the flight of stairs you have to take as the hotel is situated on the first floor, but just treat it as additional work out! Besides, the rooms are spacious for Tokyo standard and is very clean. We love the friendly & helpful staffs there! Don't hesitate to ask them if you need any help. Will definitely stay here again if we have a chance to Tokyo again!

Great location & reasonable prices ”

This is the 3rd time that my family and I have stayed at Tokyo Plaza Hotel. It is in a great location, plenty of restaurants close by (sushi train just up the road on the same side as Tokyo Plaza is fantastic). Close proximity to the train station, especially for lugging suitcases and snowboard bags. We have stayed in the family room previously, this time we had 2 rooms as our children are teenagers which gave a bit extra room. We will definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel”

It’s our 2nd time here in Tokyo Plaza Hotel because of location near train station, convenient store, restaurant, and easy to locate. Overall friendly helpful in all travelers. Rooms are always clean and staff friendly also. Definitely recommended to all travelers.

Exceptional”

This hotel is in a busy street in Shinjuku but there was little street noises in our room. The location is perfect for little restaurants and bars to give you a real feel for Tokyo that you would not get if staying in some of the bigger hotels. The accommodation is a bit on the basic side but the room was very clean and was serviced every day. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Comfortable”

My stay at Tokyo Plaza hotel was great. I really enjoyed the short walk to the train station. The only downside to this hotel is that there is no elevator to the front desk area, so you would have to carry your luggage up some stairs.
