What guests think

At ONSEN RYOKAN YUEN SHINJUKU, guests highlight the serene rooftop onsen with skyline views, friendly service, and a tasty Japanese breakfast, while frequently noting very compact rooms with limited storage; the baths can also feel busy at peak times.

Cleanliness is widely praised, though a few guests noticed dust, occasional bathroom grime, or less tidy changing areas. The quiet Shinjuku setting is walkable—around 10–15 minutes to metro or Shinjuku Station—with a 7‑Eleven opposite and plenty of eateries nearby. Expect a calm, design-forward base if you value atmosphere over room size.

We used the Onsen after a long day walking in the city every night and loved it! Very clean and calm hotel. There’s a 7/11 across the street, which is convenient. During the month of March, they offered late night snacks and tea after 10pm which we found very thoughtful. We’d highly recommend! Shinjuku Station is about 20 min walk away and the closest Metro station about 10 mins.

Very modern but very traditional at the same time. Clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. Great view. Onsen overlooking Tokyos skyline was very enjoyable. Breakfast was Japanese style and very tasty. Staff helpful. Good amenities available such as washing machines, ice, filtered water etc. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Station about 10 mins walk away. We would recommend staying here.

The onsen at the 18th floor opens till 2AM and the outdoors version allows one to sit in the water to gaze at the night sky. The room was also very clean and there is daily housekeeping. 2 small packets of snacks are also provided in the room. A humidifier/purifier is also provided. The tatami and wooden flooring is also much appreciated, limiting the dust in the room. The breakfast in the dining room at 1st floor is almost a must. In house coin operated laundry costs 200 yen (~SGD2) to wash a load of clothes and 100 yen for 30 min of dryer. A 7 eleven is located just opposite the hotel. The location is a ~10 minute walk from the subway. Easy if pulling a small luggage but a challenge while pulling a wheeled case and pushing a stroller with a toddler who asks if we are there yet every minute. However, will not hesitate to visit again.

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

Top drawer location, quiet neighborhood with full services 10" walk from heart of Shinjuku and station. Staff is energetic, enthusiastic, and embodies perfection in craft. Chefs provide 4-5 star service and personal touch cuisine, afternoon tea with traditional red bean pancakes; onsen with seasonal mint a huge plus.

We stayed in the larger queen room and the highlight was definitely the rooftop onsen, tattoos are allowed, which was a big plus. The location is excellent, walking distance from Shinjuku Station, making it very easy to get around Tokyo and catch trains for day trips. Amenities were great, with a washer/dryer. The lobby can look a bit messy with luggage storage, but overall it was a comfortable stay with nice city views of the Tokyo skyline at night.

What a gem of a location. Not too far from Shinjuku station and close to several subways. My only complaint was that our room was very dusty. No ventialltion to air it out. Other than that, staff were great and very helpful, and the reaturant food was amazing as well as the onsen ( as the water is imported from Hakone). Highly recommended.

The hotel was beautiful and very lovely. The onsen was an amazing experience and felt very lush. The hotel location was walkable to most stations or bus stops, usually about 10minutes. We really enjoyed our stay, but appreciate the room is lovely, however, quite cosy/small. We had two suitcases but made it work.

I booked for a twin room for almost a week's stay. The stay was overall nice. Be warned, it is not close by to the Shinjuku JR station, but much closer to Tokyo Metro stations instead (5-10 min walk depending on pace). It was very convenient to have a 7-Eleven right across the street to figure out breakfast and anything you might have missed while packing. Rooms are much smaller than expected compared to American hotels. The only thing that was not good is that our room's blackout curtains had a gap behind it. By 5 AM, the sun was shining so bright in the room, and it disturbed our sleep quality. Besides this, I would recommend if they can fix that problem.

Shopping is not close to the hotel, you needed to walk a distance to get to the shopping area . The matress was too soft , not enough support, and the bed is put against to the window, when you turn and toss easily your hand will hit the shade, the rod of the bottom of shade will hit the wall and making noises, was annoying. The lights in the room was too dim, don’t have one is bright enough for vanity lights. Hotel is clean , and will have room service each day .

Extremely disappointed by the hotel’s rigid and illogical service policy. As two guests sharing a double bed, we asked for an extra duvet or even just an extra sheet, since we do not want to share one single duvet. We were told this was not possible because the hotel provides “one duvet per bed.” Following that reasoning, there should also be only one pillow per bed — which, unsurprisingly, is not the case. This argument makes no sense and shows a complete lack of customer-oriented thinking. Requesting separate duvets for two adults is a basic and very common expectation, not a luxury. The refusal to accommodate such a simple request reflects poorly on the hotel’s service standards. Not impressed.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The rooms and decor embrace a traditional Japanese style, creating a calm and authentic atmosphere. The staff were warm and attentive, and the rooftop onsen was a highlight—an excellent way to unwind and soothe sore muscles at the end of each day. Despite being very quiet, the hotel is conveniently located directly across from a 7-Eleven. The only drawback is its distance from the heart of Shinjuku and the main train station. While the walk is possible, I often relied on taxis to get back and forth. Overall, a relaxing and beautifully designed ryokan experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.
