Economic and comfortable
The Ace Inn Shinjuku will be sure to put you at ease. The staff speak English, and are friendly, providing you with all the information about the area that you could ask for. It's a 10-story tower just one or two stops from Central Station in Shinjuku, one of the liveliest districts in Tokyo (if you miss the train, it's a 20-25 minute walk). It's somewhere between a capsule hotel and a hostel, mixing the best of the two. The capsules are made of wood, similar to the berths of a ship: spacious, comfortable, and a world apart from the drawers of a typical capsule hotel. The cleanliness is outstanding.
There are two types: economy in in a shared room (about 20 euro per night) or luxury (about 35 euro per night) with a little space and privacy. There's a casual atmosphere with a lively common room, and the hotel organises activities (Japanese conversation classes for beginners, walking tours, etc) for the younger crowd. Highly recommended. Directions: From the station Akebonobashi Toei Shinjuku Line, take the exit A2, turn left and you will find it on the left after a few hundred metres.
