About

Hotel Sunlite Shinjuku

Hotel Sunlite Shinjuku is a 3-star property set in the heart of Shinjuku, roughly 550 metres from the Ninja Trick House In Tokyo Amusement Center and a 5-minute walk from Full Gospel Tokyo Church. The hotel keeps things simple: a lift, a vending machine for snacks and drinks, and a 24-hour front desk cover the basics.

With Shinjuku Station and its metro links a short stroll away, it's a practical choice for exploring Tokyo without spending a fortune.
