What guests think
Many reviews describe HOTEL D-WAVE Shinjuku（Adult Only) as an unconventional love hotel near Shinjuku nightlife, offering unusually spacious, amenity-rich rooms and generally friendly service, with easy access to Golden Gai and nearby train stations.
Guests often praise cleanliness and daily housekeeping, but recurring cigarette smoke odors are noted in the lobby, hallways, and some rooms. The immediate area feels seedy or dirty to several reviewers due to its red-light setting; some rooms lack windows, beds can be very firm, and occasional nightlife noise or an outdated lobby appears in feedback. Best for adults seeking a discreet base amid Shinjuku’s nightlife.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Ok, so it's very very unconventional. Heads up, it's a love hotel. The lobby isn't really a lobby, more of a discreet checkin for those looking to temporarily rent this place for a good time, not a long time. It smells like smoke, as you can smoke there. But my goodness. Once you get past that, the room is AMAZING! I've stayed everywhere in Tokyo from AirBnBs to the beautiful and expensive Cerulean Towers, to efficiency hotels to business hotels. Hotel D-Wave has been my favorite. It's the largest hotel room I've ever had. Completely private, marbled out, and is just insane. It had my own sauna, a giant whirlpool bathtub with aroma therapy supplies and bubbles and a tub TELEVISION! a shower, a separate toilet room (rare in Japan), and the room was MASSIVE! No closets but that's not an issue at all. There was a karaoke setup, tons of free current VOD movies, a 5.1 surround sound setup and you can blare it and nobody can hear you and you can't hear anyone else! Tons of high end ammenities and toiletries they restocked every day, and a fully stocked fridge where they charged you prices almost on par with the prices for drinks at 7-11. NO GOUGING! I love this place so much. I won't stay anywhere else. Also, location location! near 3 stations!

The room was quite spacious per Japan standards and the bathroom was exceptionally large and well equiped with a jacuzzi tub on top of the shower set up. The room also had a sauna and massage chair - very rare. The only downsides were the location in the Shinjuku district that was a bit out there - not unsafe, just more dirty and such. The room also did not have windows, which was a surprise.

Amazing hotel, total luxury in all of its amenities. Perfect location in regards to restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes. The staff are so polite and the level of cleaning in the room on a daily basis is superb. The rooms so quiet as it’s just off the main road whilst only remaining a couple of minutes walk from the centre.

So let's get this out of the way: I didn't know this was a 'love hotel' when I booked it! If you don't know what that is, look it up... However, don't let that turn you off from staying here! The hotel and it's staff were excellent. The rooms are clean and well-kept, and they have plenty of amenities to keep you comfortable. It's very close to the bustling nightlife of Shinjuku/Kabukicho, making it easy to get back to after a long night out. The only thing missing for me was a closet in the room to throw your clothes/luggage in, but that's probably only an issue if you're staying for several nights. Other than that, we really enjoyed it.

The staff was great and kept the room clean. It is in a convenient location if you want to go to Golden Gai. BUT.... You should know this is a love hotel in the red light/nightclub district. On the plus side, that means you get free costume rental. On the negative side, the room is small and not designed for staying for more than a night or two and are traveling with suitcases.

THIS IS A “LOVE HOTEL” IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT!!!! Our stay here was not terrible, but had I known this, I would have selected a different hotel. I did read reviews before booking but I didn’t make this connection so I put it first in my review. The room was large and clean with nice amenities (fridge, hair dryer, free toiletries, etc.) The lobby is outdated and the outside is very run down. There was a large sign either advertising the costumes you could order or for the type of VERY young women you could order. I am genuinely not sure which. The staff we encountered was mostly pleasant. Check-in and out is designed for discretion due to the nature of most visits - so you can’t actually see the staff. The area around this hotel is definitely not an area we would want to stay in again, and not a great impression of Tokyo for our first visit. It is filthy! Trash and rats everywhere. It was close to a few coffee shops and within easy walking distance of the Golden Gai area but you walk through very seedy (happy-ending advertising) massage parlors to get into other areas. If that is what you are looking for in a hotel then this hotel will probably work well for you, but anyone booking this hotel should understand what it is.

Staff is great, the hotel rooms are really nice. If you aren’t familiar with these types of hotels in Tokyo then I recommend looking elsewhere if you are solo or staying with family. It’s more of an hourly or day rate hotel. Very nice rooms but smells like cigarettes everywhere inside the hotel. Bali hotels offer more for food and drinks

While the rooms are spacious and the in room sauna option is lovely, it felt a bit seedy. I’m aware this is a love hotel but I’ve stayed at other love hotels which were far more accommodating and comfortable. Tha staff however were very patient and kind. Additionally it’s in a busy area close to all the shinjuku hot spots…. Be aware that the area around the property is quite dirty and unkempt

Hotel D-Wave has been my favorite. It's the largest hotel room I've ever had. Completely private, marbled out, and is just insane. It had my own sauna, a giant whirlpool bathtub with aroma therapy supplies and bubbles and a tub TELEVISION! a shower, a separate toilet room (rare in Japan), and the room was MASSIVE! No closets but that's not an issue at all. There was a karaoke setup, tons of free current VOD movies, a 5.1 surround sound setup and you can blare it and nobody can hear you and you can't hear anyone else! Tons of high end ammenities and toiletries they restocked every day, and a fully stocked fridge where they charged you prices almost on par with the prices for drinks at 7-11. NO GOUGING! I love this place so much. I won't stay anywhere else. Also, location location! near 3 stations!

The room was quite spacious per Japan standards and the bathroom was exceptionally large and well equiped with a jacuzzi tub on top of the shower set up. The room also had a sauna and massage chair - very rare. The only downsides were the location in the Shinjuku district that was a bit out there - not unsafe, just more dirty and such. The room also did not have windows, which was a surprise.

THIS IS A “LOVE HOTEL” IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT!!!! Our stay here was not terrible, but had I known this, I would have selected a different hotel. I did read reviews before booking but I didn’t make this connection so I put it first in my review. The room was large and clean with nice amenities (fridge, hair dryer, free toiletries, etc.) The lobby is outdated and the outside is very run down. There was a large sign either advertising the costumes you could order or for the type of VERY young women you could order. I am genuinely not sure which. The staff we encountered was mostly pleasant. Check-in and out is designed for discretion due to the nature of most visits - so you can’t actually see the staff. The area around this hotel is definitely not an area we would want to stay in again, and not a great impression of Tokyo for our first visit. It is filthy! Trash and rats everywhere. It was close to a few coffee shops and within easy walking distance of the Golden Gai area but you walk through very seedy (happy-ending advertising) massage parlors to get into other areas. If that is what you are looking for in a hotel then this hotel will probably work well for you, but anyone booking this hotel should understand what it is.

Amazing hotel, total luxury in all of its amenities. Perfect location in regards to restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes. The staff are so polite and the level of cleaning in the room on a daily basis is superb. The rooms so quiet as it’s just off the main road whilst only remaining a couple of minutes walk from the centre.

While the rooms are spacious and the in room sauna option is lovely, it felt a bit seedy. I’m aware this is a love hotel but I’ve stayed at other love hotels which were far more accommodating and comfortable. Tha staff however were very patient and kind. Additionally it’s in a busy area close to all the shinjuku hot spots…. Be aware that the area around the property is quite dirty and unkempt

Staff is great, the hotel rooms are really nice. If you aren’t familiar with these types of hotels in Tokyo then I recommend looking elsewhere if you are solo or staying with family. It’s more of an hourly or day rate hotel. Very nice rooms but smells like cigarettes everywhere inside the hotel. Bali hotels offer more for food and drinks

They have a large room. Large shower and a very large hot tub. Plus, sauna. A SAUNA. Very worth it for couples or solo travellers. Please be mindful that this is designed as a love hotel. But, very safe and very convenient to bars and restaurants.

This still operates as a 'love hotel' as well as a tourist hotel but it is very discreet and the love hotel aspect did not impinge on our 4 night stay at all. The hotel is very clean, reasonably modern and the room we had was huge with a nice relaxing space and very quiet despite being in a lively part of town. On that point - the hotel is on the edge of the red-light district but never felt unsafe; go one block one way and your in the red light district, go the other way and you wouldn't know you were near it. Three metro stations within 8 minutes walk, including the very confusing Shinjuku station. One thing here is you very rarely meet any staff - at the small front desk they are behind frosted glass but this didn't present any problems.
