First, check whether it fits your trip

Standard Queen 16.5 sqm, 160 cm bed; Twin 18.5 sqm, two 110 cm beds.
For three people, compare the 21 sqm triple with three beds and the 24 sqm corner twin with a sofa bed — they are not the same way of sleeping.
Bathroom and toilet are separate; B1 has breakfast, a lounge space and coin laundry.

If you are out in Shinjuku until late and want to come back for a proper bath without two people getting stuck in the same bathroom, HOTEL AMANEK Shinjuku Kabukicho’s separate bath and toilet design is worth noting.

The reasons to choose it are concrete: Kabukicho food and entertainment are close, rooms come in double, twin and triple layouts, and downstairs there are breakfast and laundry facilities. For friends travelling together or two people staying a few nights, that is easier to judge on practical value than on how pretty the beds look.

But I would not treat it as a spacious resort hotel. The basic Queen is 16.5 sqm and even the triple is only 21 sqm; in a lively district, the night-time crowds and nearby activity are part of the location too. Pick the right room type and the right expectations, and it is much easier to stay comfortably.

Transport: about 10 minutes from Shinjuku East Exit — leave extra time with luggage

Official information lists about 10 minutes on foot from JR Shinjuku Station, about 8 minutes from Shinjuku-sanchome and about 5 minutes from Higashi-Shinjuku; the detailed route pages give longer estimates for some exits. I would allow 5 to 10 minutes or more of walking at street level, plus time inside the station, and not apply the nearest station’s time to every route.

Possible routes include the Shinjuku East Exit, Higashi-Shinjuku A1 and Shinjuku-sanchome directions, but these are not confirmed step-free lift routes. If you need a lift, follow station signs to street level first, then navigate to Kabukicho 2-24-10; on arrival day with a suitcase, a bright, familiar main road is easier for getting your bearings.

This is the heart of Kabukicho, with restaurants, convenience stores and entertainment close by, and people may be out late into the night and early morning. It is very convenient if you like eating out and going to the cinema in Shinjuku; if you want a quiet residential atmosphere, weigh the location trade-off too.

Room differences: for three adults, decide first between three beds or a sofa bed

Room type	Size / beds	Comparison points
Standard Queen	16.5 sqm; 160 cm bed × 1	Two sharing one bed; plan for lots of luggage
Japanese King	16.9 sqm; 180 cm bed × 1	A wider bed, with a Japanese style
Standard Twin	18.5 sqm; 110 cm beds × 2	One bed each — practical for friends travelling together
Superior Triple	21 sqm; 95 cm beds × 3	Three fixed beds, with under-bed storage
Corner Triple	24 sqm; 100 cm beds × 2 + sofa bed	More area for three people, but the third bed is a different type
Accessible Twin	18.5 sqm; 110 cm beds × 2	Bathroom and entrance layout must be confirmed for your needs

When choosing a room for three, I would first ask what everyone cares about. If everyone wants their own bed, the Superior Triple is the more straightforward choice; if you want more area and can accept the third person using a sofa bed, then look at the Corner Triple. Do not assume the Corner sounds better and ignore the difference in bed types.

For two people sharing, look at the Queen or Japanese King. The 180 cm bed is wider, but the room is only slightly larger than the Queen, so a bigger bed can also squeeze the walkway; whether two large suitcases can both be opened at once is another question. Guests feel differently about whether two cases fit, so I would choose by your actual case sizes.

Standard room types focus on a separate bathroom and toilet, which makes it easier for two people to get ready in the morning without clashing. The Accessible Twin is a different layout design; if you have specific needs, tell the hotel directly rather than assuming standard-room facilities apply to every room.

Amenities follow a streamlined, eco-friendly direction, so everyday items like cotton buds and skincare products are worth bringing yourself. The official site lists ReFa-featured equipment in the Corner Triple description — if that matters to you, confirm it by room type rather than assuming every room has it.

B1 buffet breakfast: Japanese and Western dishes and regional Japanese cooking

Breakfast is at the B1 Lounge, officially 7:00–10:00 with last orders around 9:30. It is served as a Japanese and Western buffet, with bread, egg dishes and side dishes as well as dishes with regional Japanese flavours — convenient if you want to eat well before heading out.

I would first decide whether I feel like something light or hot that day, then pick some bread, salad or a main dish. The official menu is a sample and actual dishes change with supply; if you avoid raw food, eat vegetarian or have allergies, ask on site what you can choose rather than judging from photos alone.

Anyone catching an early train should note breakfast only starts at 7:00 — if time is too tight, buy breakfast at the station instead. For a stay of several nights, I would eat in-house for a day or two and leave other mornings to explore nearby restaurants, giving the same hotel a different rhythm.

Short and longer stays: laundry is handy — agree on the cleaning rhythm first

For a short stay of one or two nights, the location, separate bath and toilet, and a simply tidy room are the easiest things to use. If you are just out all day and come back to bathe and sleep, a basic room type already covers the main needs; if you want to eat, chat or sort a lot of shopping in the room, area matters more.

For stays of several nights, cleaning follows an eco-friendly direction, and guests often mention next-day tidying and towel top-ups on request. At check-in I would confirm directly which days get a full clean and how rubbish and supplies are handled; if you want the bathroom fully refreshed every day, settle that before booking rather than being disappointed after moving in.

B1 has coin laundry with detergent added automatically, which is handy if Tokyo is followed by other cities. Washing and drying take waiting time, so I would leave one evening less packed and sort clothes when back at the hotel. Find out where the drinking-water facilities and borrowable items are at check-in too.

Some guests like the rooms quiet and clean, while others are more bothered by the surrounding district and service details. If you are sensitive to noise or want a higher floor, you can make a request, but the view and quiet still depend on the room; when leaving luggage, note the number of pieces, keep the receipt, and check each piece on collection.

Nearby plans: East Exit shopping and Kabukicho activities, grouped together

The hotel is near Kabukicho food and entertainment, and a walk to the East Exit connects to department-store shopping. I would group shopping into one day, drop bags back at the hotel first, then go out for dinner, instead of carrying shopping around on trains all day.

For a two-night trip, the first day can cover the Shinjuku East Exit and nearby meals, and the second day other parts of Tokyo, returning in the evening to rest. For a trip of three, agree on bathing and departure times first so the separate bath and toilet really pays off.

If you plan Shinjuku Gyoen or the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, leave a separate daytime slot to walk at leisure rather than treating several directions as one cluster next to the hotel. If you plan to catch a long-distance bus from Shinjuku early each day, add the walk to the station and time to find the platform inside the station.

Pros and cons: separate bath and toilet is practical; the neighbourhood and cleaning need to suit you

Aspect	Advantage	Trade-off to accept
Rooms	Separate bathroom and toilet; double, twin and triple options	16.5 to 24 sqm — not a spacious stay
Triple rooms	Three beds or twin beds plus a sofa bed to compare	Different bed types; suitcase space needs planning
Breakfast	Japanese and Western B1 buffet, convenient in-house	Starts at 7:00 — not necessarily usable for early departures
Longer stays	Shared laundry, drinking water and lounge space	The eco-friendly cleaning rhythm needs confirming in advance
Location	Kabukicho food and entertainment close by	Night-time crowds and the walk to JR station both have to be accepted

My conclusion: worth a look if separate bath and toilet matters and you are happy in a lively district

I would recommend it to two or three people travelling together who plan to be active in Shinjuku and value a separate bath and toilet over luxury facilities. If there is a lot of luggage for two, compare the Twin first; for three, decide first whether a sofa bed is acceptable, then look at the 24 sqm Corner or the 21 sqm triple.

If you prefer a quiet residential street, a full clean every day, or a lot of in-room space, I would compare a few more hotels. This hotel’s value is in city convenience and practical facilities — with the right expectations, it is easier to stay relaxed.
