Booked this hotel purely for location so wasn't expecting a great deal from the hotel - just as well! The hotel is relatively easy to find, make sure you go out of the east exit fro Shinjuku Station, look up the road to you left & you will se a very thin, high rise in red brick - it's the only red brick building in the area. Fro the station it is about a 10 mins walk. We arrived at 1230 hrs & were allowed to check in straight away, this was quick & smooth, staff were friendly & polite. We booked a twin bedroom, in the hope this would give us a bit more space. We were expecting to find a small room - what we found was the smallest hotel room we have ever stayed in! Have travelled to various places throughout Asia so I don't think our expectations were too high. Fortunately we had back packs rather than suitcases so we were able to stand these in the 1 foot gap at the end of our beds, I have no idea where you would store a suitcase in the room as it is just too small. The room itself was immaculately clean, as was the bathroom - this too was tiny but served it's purpose. Our room faced on to the main street rather than the train tracks, you could hear trains from early a.m and could hear the nightlife until thenearly hours - if you are a light sleeper this maybe an issue. Wi-fi is free in the hotel reception area (albeit veory slow) & 500yen for 24 hrs if you want wi-fi in your room. We didn't eat at the restaurant but there are numcous breakfast options close by to the hotel. The location of the hotel is perfect for easy access to the train station & you really are iin the middle of it when it comes to restaurants & shops.

Good location if you plan for shopping in Shinjuku area
But it;'s quite a walk from subway (5-10mins)
There's plenty of Restaurants and Pachinko nearby

Room is very small for the price, but there's no better option in this area

As said in a lot of the previous reviews: the location alone is enough reason to choose this hotel. There are so many restaurants, cafés, bars, shops (and people) around, and it’s easy to find - only five minutes away from the massive Shinjuku Train Station. We stayed four nights at Shinjuku Prince Hotel in March 2011. The first two nights at the 14th floor, facing the skyscraper district and the railway tracks - nice view but not as spectacular as expected. The major drawback was the heating system, which couldn’t be controlled manually. As the window couldn’t be opened either, it became very hot during the night (more than 25 degrees). The staff was aware of this, but just said “old building”. After complaining for two successive days, we moved to a room on the other side of the hallway (and on the 22nd floor). For some strange reason, the heating system supposedly worked better in the rooms facing the Kabuki-cho district. This was true, and the last two nights were pleasant - and with an excellent view of the neverending city. If you’re staying at Shinjuku Prince Hotel, do what you can to get a room facing the Kabuki-cho district. It makes the difference.
