Budget Hotels in Shinjuku: Compare Rooms, Access and Facilities

Looking for budget hotels in Shinjuku? Rates change with dates, occupancy, room type and cancellation terms, so this guide does not call any property the cheapest or promise a fixed rate. It compares four stays using room, access and facility details published by their operators. Set the budget that works for your trip, then compare the final booking total. For a wider shortlist, see our Tokyo budget hotel guide and Shinjuku area guide.

Compare Shinjuku hotels by published room and access details

Property	What the operator lists	Check before booking
Hotel Gracery Shinjuku	The operator lists a five-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station’s East Exit and a three-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station. It also offers Godzilla-themed room options on a designated floor.	Check the exact room category, bed arrangement and whether a themed-room plan is available for your dates. The operator says rates change; use its booking page for a current quote.
Tokyu Stay Shinjuku	Listed room types range from the 15 m² Superior Queen for two guests to the 47 m² Signature Family for four. The operator lists washer-dryers by room type; kitchenettes are available in selected categories.	Compare the room’s listed capacity and amenities with your party. Do not assume every room includes a kitchenette or the same layout.
Shinjuku Washington Hotel	The operator describes the hotel as near JR Shinjuku Station and lists several room types, including Economy Double, Family and Triple rooms. Its access page gives route details and airport limousine-bus information.	Check which building and room type you are booking, the route from your arrival station exit, and the current bus timetable.
APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower	The operator lists a two-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station’s North Exit, a six-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station’s East Exit, and a large public bath with an open-air bath for staying guests.	A public bath is shared, not a private in-room bath. Confirm current opening hours and rules on the operator page before you go.

These details help narrow room and access options; they do not establish which property has the lowest rate, best service or best overall value. Room inventory, facilities and booking terms can change.

Match the hotel to your room and trip needs

• For a private room near the East Exit: Compare Hotel Gracery and APA Hotel using the exact room category, bed setup and route that suits your arrival. Their published walking times refer to different station operators and exits.
• For in-room laundry: Tokyu Stay lists washer-dryers by room type. Check the amenity list for the specific room, and compare the room’s layout and capacity as well.
• For more sleeping space: Tokyu Stay lists a Signature Family room for up to four guests; Shinjuku Washington lists a Family Room. Verify bed configuration, occupancy rules and whether children count toward the limit.
• For a shared bath: APA Hotel lists a large public bath and open-air bath for guests. Check its current hours and bathing rules if this amenity affects your choice.
• For airport transfers: Shinjuku Washington’s official access page includes airport limousine-bus information. Confirm the current route, stop and timetable for your travel day.

“Budget” depends on your own ceiling and dates. Compare options at the same occupancy and with the same essentials rather than treating room amenities or a hotel name as proof of a low price.

Compare the full booking cost, not a remembered nightly rate

Use the operator’s booking page to check your exact dates, guest count and room type. Compare the final total after taxes and fees, then check breakfast, extra beds, payment timing, deposit, cancellation deadline and included facilities. A smaller room or non-refundable rate may have a different total and different terms. Record the date you checked if you are saving a quote for later.
