Apartment-style hotel that's suited to long-term travelers
Hundred Stay Tokyo Shinjuku is situated in the tallest building on a street of many other tall buildings. Renovated in 2015, the hotel's lobby features the kind of minimalistic, modern decor found in guest rooms. Black-and-white tiled floors are paired with wood laminate accents, while a small sitting area features a few square pieces of furniture in white. The small, efficient lobby, which fades directly into the hotel's tiny breakfast nook, speaks to this hotel's status as a long-stay, apartment-style property: there aren't many extra features here. The property's spacious units draw in foreign travelers from across the spectrum, from tourists (including families or friend groups) to business travelers. The hotel is especially suited to long-term stays, though shorter-term guest plans (less than a week) are available.

Rooms
Spacious, long-stay suites and apartments with top technology, some with kitchens
Catering to the long-term traveler, Hundred Stay Tokyo Shinjuku offers a range of rooms, from Studios to One- and Two-Bedroom Apartments with full kitchens. They're spacious by Tokyo standards, and decorated in a modern, minimalist style.
The hotel's range of entry-level accommodations, are pleasant but can feel sterile, with wall-to-wall carpeting, wood laminate furnishings, and white bedding. Space is thoughtfully accounted for, though, with storage units cleverly built into the walls in some rooms. Premier-level rooms, situated on the 20th and 21st floors, are trendier and sometimes downright luxe. In some of the most spectacular rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows show off sweeping city views.
Modern bathrooms, often with white or marbled tiling, can be quite compact (this is Tokyo, after all), and come in a variety of configurations that range from small shower stalls to separate showers and tubs, some of which are strategically placed in front of floor-to-ceiling windows with scenic views.
Standard amenities include lots of handy gadgets like flat-screen digital TVs, DVD players, iHome docking stations, and Bose stereo systems, plus the standards: free Wi-Fi, irons and ironing boards, safes, toiletries, hairdryers, slippers, and Japanese-style robes.
Not all units have kitchenettes or kitchens, but many do, outfitted with sinks, fridges, microwaves, hotplates, and electric kettles, plus cutlery, dishes, and cookware. Some units also have washing machines, fold-out sofas, sitting areas, or even massage chairs.
Features
Continental breakfast and small fitness center, but few other property features
In part because this is a self-catering, apartment-style hotel, Hundred Stay Tokyo Shinjuku offers limited extra property features. A continental-style breakfast is served daily in a wood-floored breakfast room with cafeteria-style seating, though it doesn't come standard with the room rate. The choices are basic (bread, cereal, pastries, meats, cheeses) and lack day-to-day variety. There is no on-site restaurant or bar, but there are a few vending machines selling cold drinks.
There's a small on-site fitness center with two stationary bikes, two treadmills, a cross-trainer, bench press, and free weights, but no other wellness facilities. The business center is a step above standard hotel nooks, with a long table featuring empty work stations, a desktop computer for guest use, and an office-quality photocopier. An event room behind the breakfast area is available for private parties or meetings of up to 10 people. The hotel offers self-service laundry for no extra fee (though guests should bring their own detergent) or laundry service for an extra fee. There is no on-site parking. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Concierge service is offered 24 hours.
