For the best (affordable!) views of Tokyo, look nowhere else but this great value and well-appointed hotel on the 20-29th floors of a Shinjuku tower. We only stayed one night, en-route to Kyoto, but the view from our 27th floor room was breathtaking.
All rooms come with a stunning view, but push the boat out a little further to get a room with as much space as you can afford - Tokyo hotel rooms are usually tiny. Our double room was 34m squared, which was perfectly ample and suited us perfectly.
The bar and lobby have the best views - vertigo-inducing floor to ceiling glass on opposite sides give sunset views of Mount Fuji to the west and the centre/east of Tokyo city respectively.
Pleasant and helpful staff, ubiquitous many-functioned japanese toilets and fantastic location made staying at this hotel a really fun and enjoyable experience. The only drawback was the long queue for the (expensive) breakfast in the morning - we skipped it and grabbed a bite and coffee at Starbucks just across the plaza.
The Shinjuku location is great for that in-your-face, bright-lights, big city Tokyo experience. Shop till you drop at the countless department and electrical stores and wander down the quieter back streets for an amazing array of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets.
A huge bonus was the direct train service from the airport to Shinjuku station, so you only have to drag your luggage across the plaza and you're there in 1hr 15mins door to door. Direct tains run once an hour, but if you've just missed one, you can get one going to Tokyo station and change there. It adds about another 20 minutes to the journey. Don't try and get a cab from Tokyo station - you'll drain your cash in one very expensive trip. You can also get the hotel limousine bus from the airport, but it takes an age and is more expensive than the train!

“Good value and base for action”

Hotel Century Southern Tower

4 of 5 stars
Dallas, TX

2/2 found this review helpful

Location of this hotel affords great views of the cityscape (all rooms are on higher floors) and offers convenient access to trains. You are also steps away from the incredible Shibuya area, where you can just watch hundreds of people cross the street at night. The concourse, to which the building is connected, has an overpass connecting to a small shopping mall, which in turn is adjacent to two huge department stores. Dining options abound. Staff speaks English well and tries hard to be helpful. Rooms are tight, typical Tokyo. There is no room service, but rooms have a mini fridge. Breakfast is in an bright, airy space, and offers both Japanese and western style food--none of it very good (except for the fresh juices and other beverages). Never fear, there's a Krispy Kreme and Starbucks on the concourse, and it's a hoot to see people scramble to line up when that donut "Hot Now" sign lights up! When it was time to leave, I took the Narita Express from the downstairs JR station to the airport. No problems.

“what can I say!”

Hotel Century Southern Tower

Feb 4, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We caught the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo. Got off at Shinjuku station and followed the "south" exits. The hotel was easy to find (shares the Microsoft building).
We asked for and got an east facing room on Level 34. Magnificent views - possibly the best you'll get from a Tokyo hotel.
The check in was seamless, the room facilities great (no mini-bar but who cares - there's a Lobby store on level 20 that sells everything you'll need). Free internet connection was really useful.
The hotel was quiet and in a great position. We only ate at the hotel one night - great food and reasonably priced for a hotel restaurant.
It really was a great choice and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Nobody does service like Japan!

“Oasis in the middle of the action”

Hotel Century Southern Tower

5 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom

3/3 found this review helpful

Stayed for 4 nights in this great hotel, right next to one of the best places for going out in Tokyo.

The hotel was excellently maintained, the view from the rooms is fantastic and the staff were all very helpful and spoke good English.

Although there is no room service there is a fridge and a kettle in the rooms and a host of convience stores outside meaning that preparing breakfast and snacks is no problem.
