"Had a quick 2 night stay. The hotel does offer some amenities, but I didn’t get a chance to use them as I was out most of the day. The room and the bathroom are definitely on the smaller side, but it was sufficient for me as a solo traveler. "

"This hotel offers an incredible value for Tokyo, from our experience. Wife and I booked a night here in early March 2026 and ended up extending our stay for another three nights. For rates comparable to the typical sub 200 square-foot micro-rooms at other hotels, the Righa Royal rooms we booked were over 400 square feet. Even better, there was a door between the sleeping area and the hallway to the front door and bathroom, another door sealing off the bathroom, and another door to the toilet. This was very welcome, especially at night so one person had a better chance of not waking up the other. The hotel and rooms have that old elegant look, as compared to the basic furnishings at the typical Shinjuku accommodations. Even so, there were modern fixtures such as plenty of outlets, tea kettle, etc. The shuttle to the nearby Takadanobaba metro station was a welcome and highly appreciated amenity. During our stay, it picked up twice an hour at the hotel and metro station. Last pickup at Takadanobaba was at 9:40pm. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and most spoke English. Very special thanks to Santosh, who spoke great English, as well as Japanese, Hindi and Nepalese, if I recall correctly. He made our stay a delight and was super helpful on a number of occasions. We didn't try any of the hotel restaurants so can't comment on those. For the record, I received no compensation or incentive for this review. "

"No was not working"

"Convenient and walk about 10mins to Shinjuku station "

"The room was pretty small. You had to step up to the bathroom and the washer/dryer. There's a microwave, sink, dishes and utensils in the room. The area was not very welcoming though. The taxi we had said it was not easy to get to. There's a lot of bars around in the area and a couple of restaurants. I wouldn't want to be there late at night alone. No shopping at all. Hotel had free items like brushes, toothbrushes, etc in the lobby. They had free water bottles and water. Coffee was there but not available after 5pm. We stayed at their Shibuya hotel and the location was more convenient in terms of shops and location to a subway. "

"Wonderful stay as always. Staff is so helpful."

"Very nice hotel"

"The property was very nice and a convenient location. For a family of 4 the room was small but that was expected. Next time, I’ll opt for the family room. "

"great staff and amenities"
