 | Shinjuku Prince Hotel: Hotel not recommended
|  |

 It may look nice from the outside, but... by bulletproof We stayed here for 6 nights in Dec 2003. The other hotel we stayed at in Shinjuku was much better - cheaper, cleaner, newer, and only a few blocks further away. It was booked for the nights we requested though. Despite the fact that we got a good online deal for this hotel, we still paid more for this hotel, and thought we'd be getting something nicer. Don't let the nice exterior and lobby fool you, the rooms are in desperate need of renovation. The "double" bed sloped down, and we kept rolling into each other while we slept. The carpet needed a serious shampooing - I was afraid to walk around barefoot. The wallpaper was stained, and at the end of our stay I saw food/crumbs under our bed - we never ate in our hotel room the whole time we were there! The windows don't open, so we kept the A/C running all day, but even in winter it felt uncomfortably stuffy. I can't imagine how it would feel in summer! The noise from the trains and the red light district weren't too noticeable though. I wouldn't stay here again, unless all the hotels in Shinjuku were booked. And even then, I would consider staying in another neighbourhood before staying at the Shinjuku Prince again.
Pros: Excellent location (near red light district, restaurants, shopping), TV, bar fridge, pay internet terminal in lobby, helpful front staff, no curfew Cons: Expensive, poor value, run down rooms, slighty dirty, stuffy ventilation
