A mid-range
property with 94 guest rooms, Kadoya Hotel is located in the heart of
Tokyo's lively Shinjuku district and within walking distance of its
train station, known as the busiest in the world. Rooms are small and basic, but clean, and many were refurbished in 2014. They're all equipped
with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles, but bathrooms are tiny. There's a charming on-site Japanese
restaurant, as well as a small cafe where breakfast is served for an extra fee. For larger rooms, travelers might want to check out Citadines
Shinjuku Tokyo, which offers spacious apartment-style units with kitchenettes, but there is no restaurant on-site.

Scene
Simple, mid-size hotel popular with leisure travelers
Kadoya
Hotel occupies a narrow 10-story building on a pleasant tree-lined
street in the heart of Shinjuku. Sliding glass entrance doors reveal
a small but elegant lobby area of wood paneled walls, a marble-topped
reception counter, and a fancy chandelier. The space doubles as a
shop selling an eclectic mix of products, like orthopedic pillows,
umbrellas, wallets, Shiseido products, souvenirs, and T-shirts. A few
tables and chairs in a corner make up a casual seating area. A door
connects to Cafe La Voie, a small, charming cafe run by
the same management. This is a popular place to stay with leisure
travelers, especially couples and families.
Location
Centrally located, a few minutes' walk to Shinjuku station
Shinjuku
is one of Tokyo's most vibrant neighborhoods, known as an important
business, shopping, and entertainment area. Shinjuku station -- a major railway station (which connects to the subway) -- is just a six-minute walk away. This neighborhood is
a bustling one, with many restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops located near
the hotel.- Six-minutewalk to Shinjuku subway and train station
Rooms
Basic but clean refurbished guest rooms
The
guest rooms at Kadoya Hotel are basic but clean, with the best rooms
being the Comfort Rooms, which were refurbished in 2014. These have
been repainted and feature an olive green accent wall as well as dark green carpeting. The pale wood furniture looks new and
consists of a combination desk and shelving unit. The older Standard
Rooms are fitted with dark furniture, many revealing scratches and
other signs of wear and tear, as well as brown carpeting. Several of the Single
and Double Rooms are cramped, with the bed taking up most of the
floor space. All rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi,
flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. The bathrooms in
many of the rooms are tiny but clean, outfitted with functional
Japanese-style fittings consisting of small bathtubs and plastic
sinks squeezed in between the tub and the toilet. Other handy
amenities include Japanese robes, slippers, free toiletries, and a
hairdryer.
Features
On-site cafe and restaurant, laundry room, and meeting room
Like
many local mid-range hotels, Kadoya Hotel offers a limited
set of features. Breakfast is served at the adjacent
Café La Voie for an extra fee, with both Japanese and Western
breakfasts available. The on-site Japanese restaurant, Hatago, is an “izakaya” where drinks, snacks, and other simple dishes are served, in a
charming setting with Japanese-style decor. The hotel also has a laundry room with
coin-operated machines and a few drink vending machines. An on-site
meeting room can seat 18 to 30 people, and a computer and printer
are available for guest use in the lobby. Guests can rent laptops from the front desk for an extra fee, as well as other handy
gadgets and appliances like a trouser press, humidifier, iron,
