About
Hotel Tateshina
Hotel Tateshina is a no-frills 2-star hotel sitting right in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo’s busiest districts. The metro station is a five-minute walk away, and the immediate area is packed with restaurants, shops, and convenience stores. It’s a practical pick if you’re after a cheap, well-placed base rather than a fancy one.
Rooms are compact — several guests described them as tiny — but they come with the essentials: air conditioning, heating, a bathtub, and a flat-screen TV. You’ll also find free Wi-Fi, a vending machine for drinks, and a lift. The staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful, especially for first-time visitors.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Unbeatable location for exploring Shinjuku — A 5-minute walk to Shinjuku Sanchome metro station, plus easy access to Shinjuku Station itself. You’re surrounded by restaurants, shops, and stores.
- Helpful, English-speaking staff — Guests repeatedly praise the reception team for their fluency, friendliness, and willingness to help with transport and local info — a real plus for first-time visitors.
- Free high-speed internet — Wi-Fi is available in rooms and guests note it works well — handy for planning your day or staying in touch.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are very compact — Guests consistently mention the small size — one called it 'my tiny corner of Japan'. If you need space to spread out, this may feel cramped.
- Some areas feel dated — The decor is old-fashioned, with carpeted floors and an older style. It’s clean and functional, but not modern.
- Value rating is lower than other scores — While many guests find it good value, the Value category scores 7.0 — slightly below the overall rating. You’re paying for location and basics, not frills.
