What guests think

At Royal Hotel Shinokubo, travelers praise the convenient location near JR Shin-Okubo/Okubo and the notably spacious rooms and bathrooms, while repeatedly noting dated interiors, occasional musty odors, and the inconvenience of stairs to the second-floor lobby.

Several reviews mention a required key hand-in policy and restrictions on visitors, with staff feedback ranging from helpful to unfriendly and slow at night. Maintenance issues and inconsistent cleanliness appear in multiple rooms, while others found spaces clean and comfortable for the price. Overall, expect a large, budget-friendly room in a lively area with trade-offs in age, policies, and access.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO ELEVATOR. There is an elevator inside the actual hotel, which starts on the second floor. There is no elevator from the ground level up to the lobby on the second floor. This means if you have an accessibility need or have heavy luggage, please look elsewhere. The room had holes in the wall, only one outlet near the bed, and various cracks on the walls. It is definitely quite run down, but it's whatever for the price. The staff also require you give them back the key when you leave to prevent you from bringing anyone else into the room. The location is great, though! A very quick walk to Okubo or Shin Okubo stations which have easy access to Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Akiba.

팩트만 우선 이야기 하자면, 프론트가 2층에 있는데, 2층까지 엘리베이터나 에스컬레이터가 없습니다. 계단으로 무거운 짐을 들고 올라갈 수밖에 없습니다. 문에 들어서자마자 건물전체에 알 수 없는 냄새가 났습니다. 청결하지 않은 냄새였습니다. 분명히 금연실을 예약했음에도 방에서는 담배냄새가 남아있었습니다. 방은 넓었지만, 깨끗하지 않은 벽지, 화장실에도 뭔지 모를 것들이 묻어있어서 청결도는 최악이었습니다. 슬리퍼는 신기 불편할 정도로 바닥이 돌출되어 있어서 결국 새것을 사서 신었습니다. 지금까지 호텔스탓컴에서 수많은 호텔을 예약하여 묵었지만, 최악이었던 호텔입니다. 직원들의 태도도 친절하다고는 할 수 없었습니다. 방 열쇠를 맡기고 외출해야 했는데, 돌아와서 방 열쇠를 요구했지만, 방 앞에서 다른 방 열쇠를 주었다는 것을 알았습니다. 즐거운 여행이기를 기대했지만, 호텔 때문에 최악이었습니다.

Hotel room smells wet and moldy. There were towels by the window to help soak up moisture. Beds were also very springy and hard, so very painful sleeping on your side. But the bathtub and shower were nice. But the area was very convenient. Below the hotel is Don Quijote. The Shin Okubo and Okubo stations are about a 5 minute walk. And Lawson, Family Mart, and 7Eleven are all within a 2-3 min walk. Overall, was an okay stay but would not book again.

Definitely value for money with the low room rate, considering the big size of the room, which looks dated but is kept clean, and its decor is actually quite nice. WiFi connection is good. Bed is comfortable. Just enough electric sockets to use. The toilet and bathroom are in an separate area. Bathtub is big and deep. There's a big window but no view as it's a frosted glass and can't be opened. There's a microwave oven outside of the corridor. The surrounding is very lively, with many shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Korean town is not far away. Also close to two JR stations.

Strange rule where you had to leave your key with the front desk. Felt insecure as when I asked for my room key they did not check my identity making me think anyone could get my room key. Also there was now clear window in my room it was foggy and I couldn’t see anything outside. Room also seemed lived in as walls and ceiling were a little dirty. Beds were clean and room was massive for what I was paying so still worth it.

Really didn’t like how we have to give in the keys every time we went out. They say it’s 24 hours but we got locked out twice, once for over 30 minutes. Staff said ring the bell and they’ll come, we rang it and still didn’t. A fellow customer had to personally go find him. The room was outdated and stuffy, bad air quality. Charging ports were also in inconvenient places. The dryer also fell apart when I used it, leaving my clothes dusty and a waste of time and money.

Hotel was good for the price, spacious room close to transport links. The rooms could be updated and cleaned more. You can’t take your room key out of the property, it must be handed to staff and you need to request it back when you return. Had a lot of back and forth trying to get our keys back when we re-entered, would have preferred to just have instant access to our room.

Bed is comfortable. Just enough electric sockets to use. The toilet and bathroom are in an separate area. Bathtub is big and deep. There's a big window but no view as it's a frosted glass and can't be opened. There's a microwave oven outside of the corridor. The surrounding is very lively, with many shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Korean town is not far away. Also close to two JR stations.

Definitely value for money with the low room rate, considering the big size of the room, which looks dated but is kept clean, and its decor is actually quite nice. WiFi connection is good.

Room bigger than most places you would find in this area but the building and rooms themselves look old and dingy. Though the location is great for what it is. Super close to the train station and 1 stop away from Shinjuku.

Great central location, everything was just a quick train away and lots of food options in the area.

장점 1. 신오쿠보역 , 오쿠보역 이랑 가깝다. 2. 한국인 직원이 계셔서 체크인이 편했다. 3. 체크인 전 짐보관 서비스, 1층 전자레인지 및 자판기, 우산 판매 4. 건물 1층 돈키호테, 주변 반경 300미터 편의점 5개 5. 방이 아주 넓다. 심지어 가격 아주 저렴. 화장실, 욕실 따로 있다. 단점 1. 먼지가 조금 있는 것 같다. 2. 방이 오래된 느낌이 든다. 3. 외출 시 열쇠를 카운터에 맡겨야한다.

1階がドン・キホーテだし、隣は業務スーパー文句無しに便利過ぎる。ちょうど大久保駅と新大久保駅の中間に有るし大通りに面していて、去年も宿泊しましたが部屋もバスも大きくて贅沢なホテル…問題は入口の階段、あれが無ければ100点満点。

Hotel room smells wet and moldy. There were towels by the window to help soak up moisture. Beds were also very springy and hard, so very painful sleeping on your side. But the bathtub and shower were nice. But the area was very convenient. Below the hotel is Don Quijote. The Shin Okubo and Okubo stations are about a 5 minute walk. And Lawson, Family Mart, and 7Eleven are all within a 2-3 min walk. Overall, was an okay stay but would not book again.

Excellent hôtel, chambres très spacieuses avec une salle de bain très agréable. Localisation parfaite proche (2min à pied) de plusieurs gares JR et 10min d'une gare Tokyo Métro. Quartier très actif avec beaucoup de restaurants et bars à proximité. Staff super gentil et accomodant. Désormais mon hôtel de référence à Tokyo!

The room was spacious, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful, the convenience of having Don Quijote and food locations open 24hrs is extremely convenient. Will be staying here again

Highly recommend this place! The rooms are spotless, the staff is amazing, and you have handy laundry facilities right here. Plus, the location is perfect with lots of shops within walking distance.
