In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rooms run roughly 18–22 sqm, which is larger than what you'd get at an APA or Super Hotel for a similar price. The trade-off is age — the decor and furniture feel a step behind the newer hotels that have opened around Shinjuku recently, and a few reviews single out the bathroom as due for an update. Overall cleanliness lands in acceptable territory. There's a restaurant inside the building, which makes this more convenient than places with no dining at all.
Food and amenities
The in-house restaurant handles breakfast and other meals, so you can eat without stepping outside. Wi-Fi is free throughout the building, the front desk runs 24 hours, and staff speak basic English. There's also a laundry service for longer stays.
Location and getting there
The West Exit side of Shinjuku Station has a completely different character from the east — this is the office district, the Odakyu and Keio department stores, and the quiet green of Shinjuku Central Park. At night, Omoide Yokocho opens up for yakitori and draft beer in narrow alleys that look straight out of the 1950s — a known favorite among travelers who love old-school Japan. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, with a free observation deck open until 23:00, is only an 8-minute walk, and the 360-degree night view over Tokyo costs nothing. The station itself is a 10-minute walk from the West Exit, or a touch closer via the Toei Oedo Line stop at Tochomae.
Things to know before booking
The 7.4/10 review score is the lowest among the options on this list, so this isn't the strongest pick on pure room quality. The rooms and fittings are older, and some guests flag the bathroom specifically. And the 10-minute walk to the main station is longer than some rivals, even if the Tochomae subway stop trims it slightly.
Our take
Hotel Wing International Shinjuku suits travelers who want to base themselves on the West Exit side — Omoide Yokocho, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Shinjuku Central Park — and want a 3-star with a restaurant in the building. The 7.4/10 score says it isn't the best on room quality, but the location and pricing make sense for someone who knows exactly what they're after.

- Good West Exit location, close to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Omoide Yokocho and Shinjuku Central Park — the quieter, office-and-park side of Shinjuku rather than the Kabukicho crowds.
- An in-house restaurant means you can grab breakfast or dinner without heading out, which is more than most no-frills hotels at this price offer.

- Rooms run about 18–22 sqm, larger than you'd get at most same-price business chains nearby.

- The 7.4/10 review score is the lowest of the options on this list, so it isn't the top pick on room quality.
- Rooms and fittings are older than the newer hotels in the area, and some reviews single out the bathroom as due for an update.
- It's a 10-minute walk to the main station — longer than some rivals, though the Toei Oedo Line stop at Tochomae is a bit closer.

Insider Tips
- Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) is an 8-minute walk away and comes alive in the evening — squeeze in for yakitori and a draft beer down its historic alleys.
- The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building has a free observation deck open until 23:00, with a 360-degree view over Tokyo — worth timing for after dark.
- The Odakyu supermarket, about 10 minutes away, stays open until 20:00 for cheap fresh groceries.
