Hotel & Spa J-Mex Shinjuku Kabukicho (Adult Only)

Breakfast wasn't included in the stay, but the room was lovely.

The room comes with a variety of entertainment and relaxation opportunities: it had a karaoke system, an amazing jacuzzi, a sauna, a music station with different channels and a very comfortable bed. The hotel is close to the subway station as well as to restaurants and bars. The staff was very kind and helpful as they even printed us a map of the closest currency exchange offices when we asked for directions.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this was a great, clean place to stay that didn't feel too weird. The location is great for coming from the subway, and near lots of restaurants, and the novelty of the place made it fun.

The place was very clean but did smell a little of cigarettes. And the room was pretty small - fine for one night but could be tricky if you were staying for longer.

We chose to spend a couple of nights here just to see what a love hotel is all about. Check in was easy, although prepare yourself for the floating hands! You don't see the face of the teller, just a pair of hands that gives you your keys. Once checked in, a porter took our bags up to the room and showed us round. The hotel room we stayed in was large, certainly by Tokyo standards. The room didn't have any windows, but made up for that in the number of mirrors(!). We had a large jacuzzi bath and steam shower and a TV that was easily 60 inches right at the end of the bed. There was a mini bar that had a couple of complimantary drinks, a kettle, and a small fridge. The sink area had a wide range of amenities, including face wash, body lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, hair brush, and bobbles. In the main bathroom, there was a basket filled with lotions and potions for the jacuzzi, plus large containers of shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. There was a TV at the end of the jacuzzi. The bed was large and had a panel next to it that controlled the lighting in the room, with 5 different settings to choose from. There was also music on the panel - everything from trance to jazz. As is common in japenese hotels, a gown and slippers were provided. The area was fairly quiet considering you're in the centre of Tokyo. There is a Seven Eleven and Family Mart within walking distance. Golden Gai is a 10 minute walk from here. Shinjuku JR station is a 15 minute walk away.

Some of the rooms in this hotel allow smoking. This made it into our room, possibly via the air conditioning system. Not very pleasant, but it wouldn't stop us from staying again.
