Hotels near Shinkoiwa Station North Exit Square from AU$17

I stayed here for seven nights and would definitely book again if I return to Tokyo. Location: The hotel is very near from Shin-Koiwa Station, about four stops from Tokyo Station. Unlike the busy areas of Shibuya or Asakusa, this neighborhood is quiet and relaxing—perfect after a long day of exploring. The station is uncrowded, with elevators and escalators, making it easy to move even with five large suitcases. It also has direct JR access to major attractions and Narita Airport, minimizing train transfers. The only downside is a staircase right outside the hotel, so I had to carry my luggage up and down. Thankfully, that was the only time I had to deal with stairs during my trip. The hotel has an elevator inside so that's the only stairs you need to face during my trip. Service & Amenities: The service is excellent—staff speak basic English and use a translator when needed. I had two large suitcases delivered from Osaka, and the hotel handled everything smoothly, even helping me track my bags when I made a mistake on the form. The hotel provides yukata and toiletries, so you can pack light. I overpacked and regretted it—I could’ve used the space for shopping! Food & Shopping: Convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart) are nearby, along with plenty of dining options like ramen shops, Sukiya, and Coco Ichibanya Curry. For Western fast food, there’s McDonald’s, KFC, and Pepper Lunch in the area. For shopping, I found Welcia and local tax-free stores cheaper than Don Quijote. Since you’ll likely buy a lot, shopping near the hotel saves you from carrying heavy bags all day. There’s also a Daiso nearby. Hotel Room: Like most Tokyo hotels, the room is small but reasonable for the price. It’s cheaper than other hotels near train stations, so I booked two rooms for me and my partner—allowing us to sleep comfortably while staying within the budget of a single double-bed room in other Tokyo areas. I visit during winter and the heater works perfectly.
