Check rates for Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own hotel search — search for “Hotel Gracery Shinjuku” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step.
Booking direct? +81 3-6833-1111 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Book it to be in the middle of Shinjuku’s nightlife and nothing else — the rooms are clean and the location is excellent, but amenities score 7.2 out of 10 and the rooms are small even by Tokyo standards.
The address is the product. Kabukicho is Tokyo’s densest concentration of bars, restaurants and late-night everything, and JR Shinjuku is a five-minute walk with Seibu Shinjuku three minutes away. Shinjuku Gyoen is 0.6 km, Meiji Jingu 2.5 km.
liteAPI’s guest analysis is positive on the two things that matter most here: the location, and clean, comfortable rooms — cleanliness scores 8.71, higher than the other Shinjuku property we cover. The building is relatively new, having opened in April 2015.
Amenities score 7.2 out of 10, the lowest single category on this property and the lowest amenities figure across all eight hotels here. There is no gym, no pool and no full restaurant in the facility list — a bar, a terrace, a minimarket and a concierge. Room size is a named complaint, as is inconsistent staff helpfulness.
Check-in is from 02:00 PM, the earliest on this page, which is genuinely useful after a morning arrival at Haneda.
Best for
- Nights out in Kabukicho where you want to walk back rather than book a taxi
- Couples on a short trip who will be out from morning to late
- Early arrivals — 02:00 PM check-in is the earliest of the eight hotels here
Not for
- Anyone who wants hotel facilities; there is no gym, no pool and no full restaurant listed
- Light sleepers who want a quiet street — this is the middle of the nightlife district
- Travellers who need space; small room size is a recurring complaint
