신주쿠 그란벨 호텔

The Grandbell Hotel Shinjuku is a good, safe, and modern hotel, but it sits right on the edge of Kabukichō, which is Japan’s largest nightlife entertainment district. It’s a mix of tourists, bars, neon lights, nightclubs, promoters, hostesses, and love hotels. It’s not unsafe, but it definitely has a nighttime atmosphere that feels very different from the rest of Tokyo. Despite how Kabukichō looks: • There is no violence • There is no crime targeting tourists • No one is going to bother you • There is no physical danger walking at night • Police patrol the area constantly It is not a dangerous neighborhood. The Grandbell is located in a kind of “middle zone”: • About 3–5 minutes from the quiet Shinjuku Gyoen side • About 3–5 minutes from the brighter, busier Kabukichō area You will not see explicit behavior, harassment, danger, or anything aggressive. Japan is extremely strict about public conduct.

Great room and veiw nice balcony bar also great view of shinjuku. Nice breakfast

The room I stayed in had a weird humming noise all the time, maybe because it was right next to the emergency stairway? But you will definitely need earplugs if you stay in that room.

Good location, good variety selection for breakfast, safe, but the hotel looks dated for a four star rated hotel.

Clean room, friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location to train station and nearby food/shopping.
