Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nishi-Shinjuku PREMIER
Room types and bathrooms are worth comparing; for access, use Nishi-Shinjuku Station as the baseline.

If You Care About Bathrooms and Rooms, This One Is Worth Comparing Slowly
- About 5 minutes from Exit 2 of Nishi-Shinjuku Station on the Marunouchi Line; about 15 minutes from JR Shinjuku Station — accept the final stretch on foot.
- Standard double 21 sqm, standard twin 24 sqm, deluxe double 25 sqm — how the bathroom is divided is the key choice.
- The HEARTH Japanese-Western breakfast includes pancakes, and the basement convenience store plus in-hotel laundry suit longer stays.
If you do not want to stay every day at Shinjuku’s busiest intersection, but would rather come back to the hotel to sort your luggage quietly and take a proper bath, I would put Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nishi-Shinjuku Premier on your comparison list. Its appeal is not being right outside JR Shinjuku Station, but putting stay functions first.
This hotel sits in the Nishi-Shinjuku business district, best planned around Nishi-Shinjuku Station on the Marunouchi Line. Shopping in Shinjuku by day and returning at night to a more office-district rhythm suits people willing to walk a few minutes at street level.
Still, I would not claim from 21 sqm alone that everyone will find it spacious. The bathroom, entrance corridor, and furniture also take up space; with lots of luggage for two, or an extra bed for a family, you still need to check the actual layout. When choosing a room, looking at floor space, bed count, and bathroom separately is more useful than comparing square metres alone.
Living in Nishi-Shinjuku: First Accept the Five Minutes from Station to Hotel
The hotel address is 6-12-39 Nishi-Shinjuku. The official listing gives about a 5-minute walk from Exit 2 of Nishi-Shinjuku Station on the Marunouchi Line, and about 15 minutes from Shinjuku Station. This is not a hotel right beside JR Shinjuku Station, so I would plan each day’s travel around Nishi-Shinjuku Station first, then see which days suit walking straight to the Shinjuku core.
Travelers with large luggage should consider the platform, the exit, and the street-level route together. Exit 2 is the official walking start point, but that does not mean every arrival direction can leave via the same lift route; if you need a step-free route, check the station map first or ask station staff and the hotel for help, rather than deciding on the spot to carry cases up stairs.
If your itinerary mainly runs along the Marunouchi Line, getting around can be quite direct; if you must catch an early limited express from JR Shinjuku Station every day, that final stretch on foot will keep coming back. I would judge it over the whole trip, not just by whether it feels acceptable on arrival day.

Starting at 21 sqm: Look First at How Beds and Bathrooms Divide the Space
The official room list gives standard double 21 sqm with a 154 cm bed; deluxe double 25 sqm with a 168 cm bed; standard twin 24 sqm with two 110 cm beds. These are different sleeping and space arrangements, not just the same room with a different bed.
| Room direction | Official area and bed width | How I would choose |
|---|---|---|
| Standard double | 21 sqm; 154 cm bed | More comfortable for one; for two, check luggage circulation first |
| Deluxe double | 25 sqm; 168 cm bed | Two traveling together who want a wider bed and more in-room space |
| Standard twin | 24 sqm; two 110 cm beds | Want separate beds — then check the usable floor space |
| Family or suite | Confirm against the actual plan | Enter the full number of guests first, then check the layout with an extra bed |
I would remind two travelers: a larger area than some basic business rooms does not mean you can leave two large cases spread out in the corridor for a long time. The room entrance, bathroom, and furniture take up part of the area, and some guests have mentioned the corridor layout affecting usability; looking at the room floor plan together with bedside photos is safer than relying on numbers alone.

The semi-separated bathroom is worth comparing: bathtub and toilet are divided, and the photos also show the shower and glass-partition layout. For travelers who like baths, or two people getting ready at different times morning and night, it is more flexible than squeezing everything into one small bathroom. Accessible and other special room types may differ, so go by the room type you booked.

If more people are traveling together, enter the full number of guests and children’s ages first, then look at bookable bed types. A guest’s experience of opening four cases may have come from a larger room type, and cannot be assumed to apply to a standard double as well; photos after an extra bed is added need separate checking in particular.
HEARTH Breakfast: If You Like Pancakes, I Would Keep One Morning Free
The first-floor HEARTH serves a Japanese-Western breakfast buffet, officially described as freshly baked fluffy Japanese-style pancakes with different sauces alongside other breakfast dishes. Beyond the choice of dishes, this is a very distinctive item; if you already like this kind of breakfast, I would set aside a less rushed day to sit down and eat it.

The official breakfast listing gives 7:00 to 10:00, last order 9:30. Different restaurant service notices describe the last entry differently, so go by the front desk and meal-voucher instructions for actual dining; do not treat arriving at 9:30 as a plan that is guaranteed to let you finish at leisure.

The counter offers Japanese and Western options, and dishes change with the day and deliveries. The photos show the serving areas and the direction of the dishes, but cannot guarantee the same dish every day. If pancakes are made to order, leave waiting time in your itinerary too — eating something else first and coming back is usually more relaxed.
Breakfast prices have already been adjusted from October 2026, so amounts in older guest reviews should not be used for direct calculations. I would compare the current price difference between breakfast-included and room-only plans, and confirm the number of people and nights covered; for a longer stay you do not have to eat in the hotel every day — leaving a day or two to explore the neighborhood is also good.
The Office District’s Pace of Life Suits Slowing Your Evenings Down a Little
Nishi-Shinjuku and Kabukicho have different stay atmospheres. Around here, business buildings and everyday dining dominate, and many guests like that it sits a little apart from Shinjuku’s lively core; that distance is a plus for people who want to slow down, but for people shopping late every night it may mean an extra stretch.
The basement convenience store and nearby shops cover drinks, simple meals, and daily goods, so you do not have to run back to the department-store district every time. I would buy the next morning’s breakfast or snacks before returning to the hotel, but still plan around the shops’ actual opening hours, and not treat late-night shop hours mentioned in reviews as permanent.
An itinerary can put Shinjuku Central Park, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government area, and the west-exit shopping district on the same day, and leave the east exit and 3-chome shopping for another day. Focusing on one direction per day makes carrying big bags of purchases back to the hotel easier, and avoids shuttling between east and west every day just because you are nominally staying in Shinjuku.

For Short Stays, Check the Connections; for Longer Stays, You Can Use the Laundry and Bathrooms
If you stay only one night and leave early the next morning from JR Shinjuku, I would first weigh walking against transferring. The room and bathroom are attractive, but whether the extra walk is worth it should be decided by the transport on those two arrival and departure days.
Three to five nights lets you appreciate the benefits of a fixed base: out during the day, back at the hotel at night to buy some food, sort clothes, and take a bath. The hotel has coin laundry facilities on the 5th and 10th floors, suiting people who pack fewer clothes; they are shared facilities, not in-room washing machines, and may not be free exactly when you want them.
The official basic information lists 14:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out; for early arrivals, luggage storage and whether you can enter the room still follow the day’s arrangements. Cleaning, towel exchange, and rubbish handling should be confirmed together at check-in, and one traveler’s experience of daily tidying should not be assumed to be fixed content for every plan.
Guests mostly feel positive about the quietness, but some care about curtain blackout or room direction. I would first sort out whether my own need is fear of road noise, sensitivity to light, or a must-have view, then raise it with the hotel; these conditions may not all be met at once, and noting a request is not a guarantee.

Pros and Cons: Spend the Budget on Room Function, Accept Some Walking
| Aspect | Advantage | Trade-off to accept |
|---|---|---|
| Transport | Near Nishi-Shinjuku Station; the Marunouchi Line suits city itineraries | About a 15-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station; plan for heavy luggage |
| Room type | From 21 sqm, with different bed types to compare | Entrance and bathroom take up area; do not judge by total size alone |
| Bathroom | Semi-separated layout, more flexibility for baths and getting ready | Special room types need separate checking; do not generalize across the whole hotel |
| Breakfast | HEARTH Japanese-Western buffet and pancakes are distinctive | Starts at 7:00; leave time for made-to-order items and serving |
| Longer stay | Convenience store and coin laundry are practical | Shared facilities; cleaning arrangements need confirming |
I Would Recommend It to People Willing to Walk a Little More in Exchange for Room and Bathroom Function
Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nishi-Shinjuku Premier suits travelers who place stay quality in room layout, bathroom, and longer-stay function. It is not at Shinjuku’s busiest doorstep, yet it connects everyday Nishi-Shinjuku life with Marunouchi Line transport.
Solo travelers can start comparing from the 21 sqm standard double; with lots of luggage for two, look first at the 24 sqm twin or 25 sqm deluxe double, then check the floor plan. If you accept those few minutes of street-level walking and like returning at night to a relatively slower neighborhood, this hotel deserves a place on your shortlist.
