Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku

Cool, traditional Japanese lodging option. A serene escape from the bustle of the busy city. Try the Japanese Nellie, so good!

The room space is very limited, we couldn’t even have room to open our luggage. The luggage storage policy is also very restrictive, not convenient for travelers with luggage.

Steam curls in stillness City fades in quiet grace Yuen bath, soul soothed

The place was okay overall, but it offered limited amenities. The staff was decent, and the location was just alright—slightly far from the train station and situated on a busy, narrow street, which didn’t feel very safe for young children. Considering the price, I expected more from the experience. I’m not likely to stay here again.

Flat out amazing. The breakfast is so delicious and a beautiful experience, highly recommend. The room was beautiful with nice amenities. Shower was a little underwhelming but used the public bath, which was very hot temp but a good experience. Tattoos are fine. Will definitely be back

Incredibly relaxing stay, wonderful staff and in a great location.

Continues to be a peaceful oasis from the bustle of Shinjuku. Beautiful aesthetic with natural pine wood tones and Japanese design. Rooftop onsen is soothing. Breakfast is crafted with care and night snack and drink offerings were an unexpected treat this time!

We loved the location, the outstanding customer service, the room, the use of the extras (laundry, drinks water, ice dispensary). We would have given it 5 stars had they had at least one English speaking entertainment channel for foreign guests. Every single channel (there were 10) was in Japanese - it was very disappointing.

It’s in a quiet street close to metro station. Walkable to many local restaurants and shopping. The public onsen is great after a day’s walking in Tokyo and has a beautiful city view at night. Room is a bit small but nicely arranged and very clean.

The exterior of the property was absolutely beautiful, with a sleek, minimalist Japanese design. It’s in one of the best locations in Shinjuku—right across the street from a 7-Eleven, which made grabbing snacks or using the ATM super convenient. This is a very busy ryokan, with a constant flow of guests coming and going. At times, the lobby felt a bit hectic, with piles of luggage from guests waiting to check in. They use self check-in kiosks, which are easy to navigate, and staff is available to assist if needed. However, the experience didn’t feel particularly personal, as the staff seemed a bit distant and detached. The common areas were clean and modern, and the elevators, though busy, were fast. Our room followed the same minimalist Japanese aesthetic—compact but well-designed. It was a bit tight, as was the bathroom, but both were functional. We appreciated the bidet toilet and the stunning city skyline views from the 17th floor. Unfortunately, the fridge in our room wasn’t working, so we couldn’t keep anything cold. The room had a few basic amenities. The hotel also has a restaurant offering traditional Japanese breakfast and kaiseki-style dinners, which must be booked in advance. We didn’t have a chance to try it, but it looked like a unique experience. There’s also a rooftop onsen, which we didn’t explore but heard good things about. Overall, it was a good stay—especially if you’re looking for a stylish and well-located spot in the heart of Shinjuku.

Staff was super helpful

Very helpful staff especially when we needed a cab to go to the bus terminal. Big thanks!

We loved our stay at Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku. The aesthetics were beautiful and the reception staff were so lovely. The hotel is located on a quiet street but a short walk away from all the action. 100% would stay here again.

Great place

Beautiful hotel, from reception to rooftop onsen. The location is perfect and the decor matches modern with traditional. The rooftop onsen is beautiful and they also offered a ‘sleep easer’ of free sale and treats from 22.00-22.45 Highly recommend and the perfect way to end our 2 week Japan adventure

Relaxing stay, great for the start or end of a trip to Japan.

Amazing staff and great hotel

Nice clean hotel but i bit far from shinjuku center

Beautiful quiet property but very close to high end shopping and subway

This property was a perfect gem in the city and with a 7/11 right across the street!
