Rough Guide "Rooms have nice Japanese design touches, such as shoji (paper screens) on the windows."
Fodor's "A short walk from the megalithic Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office, the Hilton is a particular favorite of Western business travelers." Full review
Insight Guides "Set among the skyscrapers of west Shinjuku, the rooms are Western in style, but with Japanese accents, all with modem lines and cable TV."
Michelin Guide "Bedrooms at this 38-storey hotel, with its distinctive S-shaped wave, come in a simple, modern style with Japanese touches."
Lonely Planet "Caters mainly to a business clientele... the shōji (sliding rice-paper screens) on the windows were designed to remind disoriented jetsetters that they’re in Tokyo." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Has many excellent facilities including an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and rooftop tennis courts."
Time Out "The standard of service is high. For business travellers, the hotel offers five executive floors... one of few Tokyo hotels to have its own tennis courts." Full review
Star Service "Set at the northeast corner of Shinjuku Central Park, this property faces the Hyatt Regency, 200 m south of the Nishi-Shinjuku subway station and 200 m north of the Tocho-mae subway station." Full review

Daring guests can try the authentic washitsu rooms designed like those of a traditional ryokan with tatami mats on the floor and a separate living room; while others may choose just to take a peek before slumbering in their pillow-top bed.

Rough Guide "Just off bustling Nakamise-dori, this smart little ryokan is... surprisingly affordable."
Frommer's "Whenever a foreigner living in Tokyo, soon to host first-time visitors to Japan, asks me to recommend a moderately priced ryokan in Tokyo, this is the one I most often suggest." Full review
Concierge "Guests have a choice of 16 Japanese-style rooms with tatami, futon mattresses, and a shared bath, or six en suite Western versions with beds."
Fodor's "Just off Nakamise-dori and inside the Senso-ji grounds, this small inn, with both Japanese- and Western-style rooms, could not be better located for a visit to the temple." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This beautifully maintained ryokan is adorned with paper screen windows and tatami mats."
Time Out "Barely 30 seconds from Asakusa’s market and temple complex, yet surprisingly peaceful, the Shigetsu offers a choice of comfortable rooms in Japanese and Western styles." Full review
