HOTEL MYSTAYS Nishi Shinjuku
West-side rooms at 7-14-14 Nishi-Shinjuku, 7 minutes from the west exit
About this hotel
Hotel MyStays Nishi Shinjuku is a casual three-star hotel on the west side of Shinjuku, among the office towers rather than the neon of Kabukicho, which keeps evenings calmer. Shinjuku Station is within easy reach for the Narita Express, the Odakyu limited expresses to Hakone and the JR lines across Tokyo, so it works well as a base for day trips by rail. Rooms are streamlined and efficient, with free Wi-Fi, and complimentary coffee is a small but useful touch before an early departure. A low-key restaurant and bar on site cover a simple dinner or a last drink without going back out. It suits both business and leisure travellers who want function over extras. A 7.6 score from 731 reviews points to fair, no-fuss value.

Our take
At 7-14-14 Nishi-Shinjuku, this MYSTAYS sits on the quieter west side of Shinjuku Station: about 7 minutes from the west exit by the hotel's count, and 3 minutes from Shinjuku-nishiguchi on the Toei Oedo line, which runs straight to Roppongi and Tsukiji. Self-service laundry is the practical asset for a long rail trip with a Japan Rail Pass. I would book it to stay away from Kabukicho's noise while keeping the Odakyu, Keio and JR lines within walking distance. Its 7.6 score from 731 guests is modest, so I would not expect generous rooms.
- Use the west exit of Shinjuku Station, not the east or south: the hotel is on the Nishi-Shinjuku side, and the wrong exit means crossing the whole station.
- For the Toei Oedo line, Shinjuku-nishiguchi station is about 3 minutes away, often quicker than walking back to the JR concourse.
- Self-service laundry on site lets you pack light for a multi-week rail pass trip and wash midway.
- Nishi-Shinjuku empties out at night compared with the east side, so late arrivals walk through office streets rather than nightlife.

Why guests love itHOTEL MYSTAYS Nishi Shinjuku suits families who value a calm base over space: it is on the west side of Shinjuku Station, among offices and residential blocks rather than the neon of Kabukicho. The walk from the west exit is about 7 minutes, manageable with children and wheeled cases, and the elevator and self-service laundry help on a longer trip. The restaurant and bar mean breakfast without going out. Rooms in this part of Tokyo tend to be compact, and the 7.6 score from 731 reviews is below most hotels around the station, so families needing two beds should check the room category carefully before booking.
