“Very small rooms, but clean, good for an overnight stay without a large suitcase”

The Sunlite Shinjuku is only 30-seconds from Shinjuku Sanchome Station Exit E1, but exit E1 is a good 8-minutes walk from the closest platform of the station, so accessibility might be an issue for some.

The Sunlite Shinjuku is only 30-seconds from Shinjuku Sanchome Station Exit E1, but exit E1 is a good 8-minutes walk from the closest platform of the station, so accessibility might be an issue for some. The Sunlite Shinjuku is a basic Japanese business hotel, targeted toward travelling businesspeople and others who on overnight stays and who are not carrying more than a small cabin bag (wheeled or otherwise). The closet is simply a couple of pegs on the wall, just sufficient to hang a suit and shirt, and storage space is otherwise non-existent. The shower-toilet is just large enough to contain a shower, washbasin, and toilet-bowl. Basic amenities are provided though. The room is very clean (as is the case with most Japanese hotels), but it really is just a place to sleep. There is barely enough space to put a notebook PC, and definitely no space to relax and read a book. It's a good hotel for one or two nights, but for anything longer or if you're travelling with a larger suitcase, you'll do better at a more expensive tourist hotel such as one of the Mitsui Garden chain, or of course at an international class hotel (albeit at 5x the price). I stay at the Sunlite because the Fukutoshin Line running through Shinjuku Sanchome Station is only two stops to Kita-Sando Station and my Tokyo office, but I only ever stay for two nights at most.
