Century Southern Tower Hotel

A very comfortable hotel in close proximity to Shinjuku station and all local activities. We selected a corner room with near-panoramic views over the city and it was the perfect base to explore the city. The room was sizeable, comfortable and offers amenities, housekeeping was daily and the service was to a high standard. Considering the dining options in and around the hotel, we opted not to include breakfast, although judging by the queues, it was obviously a success story. Highly recommend this hotel if you are intent on discovering Shinjuku and beyond.

This is a great place to stay in Tokyo Shinjuku.. hardly 300 m away from the Busta Shinjuku and the train station.. very lovely and friendly staff.. you can pretty much travel anywhere from this hotel Mount Fuji viewing is also possible on a clear day from room 3570 .. rooms are very quiet and clean.. if I am coming back to Tokyo I would be very happy to stay here again..

This hotel is the one in Tokyo that I always keep coming back to. Location is amazing and love the views (the hotel rooms are from the 22nd floor and up). Breakfast is to die for and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

This hotel is a great choice in the heart of Tokyo. There is easy access to public transportation since the vast Shinjuku station is across the street.
Be prepared that the hotel rooms in Tokyo are tiny. We had a double room with the bed pushed against a wall. It wasn't a problem but don't expect a lot of room to open your luggage.
Since the hotel is between the 20th and 35th floor of the building the views from the room are spectacular! The room was very clean and the bathroom was well equipped with a very good shower.
Breakfast was very generous with plenty of choices for every taste.

A split level hotel, reception was crazy busy when we arrived. The receptionist kept her cool, was efficient and polite. The door number directions were not accurate when we exited the lift so it took a while to find our room on the 28th floor. We had a birds-eye view of the city, which stretches to the horizon, which was especially delightful at night. More-so because the construction work next door was quiet then. Our room was comfortable, with soft towels and loo paper. But no shower, just a hose above the bath.

This hotel welcomes lots of Americans/Europeans … it’s not a luxurious or memorable, but it is located centrally, right where the action is. That makes it ideal for a few nights stay.

Top notch service. Great English speaking staff. High up hotel so gorgeous views. Lobby is on the 20th floor. Breakfast was very good.

Just stayed for 5 nights in this hotel. We asked for a high floor room and we were placed in room 3371 facing west and of course that means facing Mount Fuji. Incredible view, you need to be high up to see it as there are buildings in the way otherwise.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Shower over bath but it was quite powerful. Got tea and coffee every day and you had to get the water from the machine by the elevators. We didn’t eat in the hotel.
My only gripe is the lack of coin laundry which so many people have mentioned. I desperately needed two pairs of trousers washed so did their laundry service, at a cost of 1100 yen each. It states on the form it will come back to the room after 6.30pm but it did not arrive so I went to reception. They said they would call the laundry and to return to my room of which I did. Half hour later, still no laundry returned so I went back to reception and it was there to collect. It needs to be much clearer about this system and they need to decide if they return it to the room at a certain time or whether customers need to collect it. Putting a coin laundry in like most Japanese hotels would solve the confusion !!
But apart from that, the hotel is a good hotel in an excellent location, slightly away from the chaos of Shinjuku but also 5 minutes walk toYoyogi station to go on the loop line.

Had a lovely 3 night stay in a Panoramic King room on a higher level floor. Location as others have said is excellent, a few minutes walk along the pedestrian walkway (where there are lots of places to eat if you don't want to walk very far) to Shinjuku station or the other way to Yoyogi station to get around . Once inside the room we barely heard any outside noise and the views were incredible over Tokyo any time of the day or night! There's a 7-11 on the ground floor before the hotel entrance so you can get snacks/sandwiches/drinks and though the hotel advertises a lounge/bar area we never saw it open in the evenings.

The room was much more spacious than I thought it would be, bed was a little on the hard side for me and the heating/cooling worked effectively. Room and hotel was spotlessly clean but the bathrooms, although having everything we needed, looked rather dated. Lots of toiletries supplied and replaced daily but the hairdryer was poor, not very powerful at all and due to low voltage If coming from UK note most travel hairdryers won't operate effectively below 110/120v and Japan operates at 100v!

We had breakfast included with our room rate and was quite decent; good selection of hot and cold European and Asian dishes to please everyone. Sometimes we saw a few guests queueing & waiting to be seated as we left breakfast (around 9am) but staff worked quickly at clearing tables so you weren't waiting long.

We arrived at around noon from our international flight from the UK and too early to check in (2pm) but staff stored our luggage securely until we could. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke good English, calling taxis for us and advising how best to reach places. On our last day they arranged luggage forwarding to Kyoto for us, filling in all the forms and measuring/weighing faster than I could show them the address they were going to!

We returned to Tokyo for the last night of our tour of Japan and stayed at a different (and more expensive) hotel in Shinjuku but wished we'd returned here instead as it ticked all the boxes for us!

This is my go-to hotel in Tokyo. It has it all - convenience, room size, comfort, view, service, you name it!
The hotel is located at the south end of Shinjuku station, easily accessible along the terrace extending from the new south exit (second floor). There is no need to go out onto the street to get to the hotel. The second floor entrance of the hotel building will allow you access the elevators to take you to hotel reception on the 20th floor.
The hotel rooms are located on the floors above this, resulting in every room having a great view over Tokyo. We paid a little more for an even higher floor (36th) and facing East for a view above the station and over the large Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and extending to the Tokyo Skytree in the distance.
The location of the hotel is ideal for access by subway or train to anywhere in Tokyo or even further away, as Shinjuku station is a major hub. Across the station from the hotel, easily accessible by walkways on the south terrace is the Takashimaya department store, home to an extensive food court in the basement as well as several floors of restaurants on the top. In addition there are the cafes in the train station or scattered at the base of the hotel on the south terrace. The hotel is also walking distance from several attractions in the vicinity, including Omoide Yokocho (Yakitori Alley), Golden Gai (micro bars), Kabukicho district (shopping and restaurants), Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (Observation deck and light show), Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, and many more smaller attractions.
The rooms are very comfortable and very large for Tokyo standards. This is perfect for an extended stay. We've stayed in cheaper places in Tokyo, with no views and less comfortable tiny rooms, which are fine for a night or two, but we really prefer staying here for anything longer than 2 nights. While not cheap, the difference in price for what you get is absolutely worth it!
Service and amenities are top-notch, as you would expect throughout Japan. There is a bar and restaurant on-site, but we did not make use of these due to the plethora of other options nearby.
Even though the train station is immediately adjacent to the hotel, rooms facing the station did not suffer from train noise. Sound insulation is good as we rarely heard anything from outside of the suite.
Wifi worked very well, but did make you log in daily to keep access.
The shower worked well with lots of hot water and good pressure. There was a tub as well.
There was a large safe in the room, a refrigerator and kettle. Tea and coffee was provided and replenished daily.
The bed was comfortable, had outlets next to each head, and had plenty of room to access from both sides (not up against a wall like we commonly see in smaller rooms).
There was additional seating and a table, along with a desk and chair.
I will always come back here when in Tokyo, however I do note they will be closing for a major renovation later this year (October I believe) and I'm not sure when they will reopen.

We stayed here for two nights and the location was truly outstanding. The hotel connects directly to the elevated pedestrian walkway, making it easy to access Takashimaya and others shopping mall. Shinjuku Station is just a five-minute walk away, which makes getting around Tokyo extremely convenient.

The room was considered large compared to typical Japanese city hotel standards, which we really appreciated. However, it was surprising that there was no humidifier provided in the room, as this is almost standard in most three-star (and above) hotels in Japan.

The breakfast restaurant looked modern and well-designed, but the variety of food options was somewhat limited.

The hotel shares the building with office spaces, but entrances and elevators are clearly separated, so it does not affect privacy or convenience. There is also a 7-Eleven located downstairs, which is very convenient for quick snacks or late-night essentials.

Overall, a great choice for travelers who prioritize location and room size while staying in Shinjuku.

Efficient and friendly check-in and checkout.

Room was small but comfortable and well arranged.

Walked to Meiji-Jing Shrine from the hotel.

Shinjuku Station is close to the hotel but so is Yoyogi station for the JR line, which was super convenient.

the view from our room was incredible we got a view of fuji one morning coulsnt fault the view at all. the rooms were clean and simplistic large space plenty of room to move around. not much choice in terms of food there was a cafe and I believe 1 restaurant although I may be wrong on this. the location was brilliant right near the station, plenty of food choices close by. the bar strangley never seemed to be open im not sure what the opening times were but one night we tried to go in at 8pm and was told it was closed the other night it was just before 8 and was told it was closed however there was 2 people sat at a table in there so dont know if they had just closed of a private meeting was on.
the hotel facilities were minimal in my opinion however the view and quality of the room itself would still encourage me to come again

The breakfast buffet and the room was amazing! The staff were also super kind. The laundry service also wasn't bad and was pretty affordable!

There are two things that really stand out about this hotel: the location, and the views.

Access to trains and buses at this hotel is excellent as it is attached to an elevated promenade, meaning you have an easy walk to Shinjuku Station, or Yoyogi Station. There are also lots of stores and restaurants in the area, which was nice as we could wind down our days with some shopping and dining near the hotel.
The hotel itself seems more business focused. It's not the kind of hotel where you'll spend the evening in the lobby, and there isn't a pool or spa. We liked that as it meant our evenings were nice and quiet, even being right by the train station and Shinjuku.

The panoramic rooms are huge with amazing views of the city. On one of our more restful days, we spent a big portion of our evening watching the nighttime city views. It’s stunning. One downside with the panoramic views - it can get very warm and sunny during the day with the blinds open, so you may end up closing the blinds and then you don’t get the great view. It wasn’t a huge problem as we were there when the days were shorter, and often out of the hotel during the day.

Everything else about the room was fine. It seems like it hasn’t been updated in a while, but it was clean and comfortable. The mattress was on the firmer side and comfortable. The bathroom and closet, however, were both quite small, which was surprising when the rest of the room had so much space. The toilet and shower are both in the same room, which isn’t a dealbreaker but stood out compared to other hotels we stayed at during our trip. Tall folks might have a bit of trouble in these showers too.

Hotel staff were friendly, but we only interacted at check-in and checkout, and at the restaurant. Everyone we spoke to seemed to be proficient in English, which was helpful. Breakfast was also good, though a bit expensive. I did appreciate the various vegan and vegetarian options, and clear labeling on foods.

If you want a practical hotel with incredible views, a great location, and very large rooms (if you book a panoramic view room) it’s a solid spot.

good corporate hotel near Shinjuku station. in all my travels in Japan this was the poorest but perfectly serviceable breakfast. would recommend scenic room just for the fun of watching the night develop.

Checked in on 01Dec25 with my wife and this is the first time we stay with this hotel. Other than the convenience of airport limousine stopping at its doorstep, the location is also right in the heart of Shinjuku where you can get everything only steps away.
The interior of the hotel is modernly decorated and giving you a comfortable but not cautious feeling. The check-in lobby is located in the 20th floor of the building where it is spacious and with plenty of privacy as only hotel guests are there to rest before or after checking in.

The South Court lounge at the lobby overlooking the night view of Shinjuku through the large glass window, a nice place for a drink and chatting. The lady who checked us in was so helpful and every question we asked were answered with alternatives.

The twin room we have, 2375, is in reasonable size, clean and tidy. However, USB plugs for charging is not available inside the room. Not many choices for TV channels. No HBO or other movie channels, no sports channels. For foreigners you might have to repeatedly watching news the whole night. The bathtub is a bit slippery for taking shower as the slip-resistant on the surface of the bathtub is not strong enough to hold when you move around with shower gel on your body. The position of the metal handle on the wall is too low to catch when you slipped, especially for elderly people. Noises from upper floor were heard from time to time especially in the evening. It sounds very much like flushing toilet.

The restaurant at the lobby provides quite a tasty breakfast buffet but the variety of foods are quite limited. Charging JPY3800 per person is a bit too expensive. Throughout our stay, the housekeeping has been doing a good job to keep the room clean and tidy. Change of towels and slippers were carried out properly every day.

On the quiet side of Shinjuku Station. Easy to find once you're oriented to the area. Very convenient. Has airport Limo bus pick-up on location (ground floor). The standard king room was a good size, large enough to spread out two people's luggage plus a king bed, though the bed wasn't very comfortable. Room amenities were pretty basic. No minibar, but there is a small mini-fridge. We would definitely consider staying here again if in Shinjuku, but would also consider other options due to the uncomfortable bed.

We stayed here for three nights on our way from London to Sydney and we had a great room. It's not cheap but reasonable value considering the size of our room, the tremendous view and the central Shinjuku location. However, we also stayed for one night on our way back to London and the room we were given was very small and very uncomfortable for essentially the same price as the earlier stay. I normally would have complained on the spot but we were very squeezed for time.

A very nice hotel in a great location
Room was good with a great view
Breakfast was good and a nice setting
The only reason for giving only 4 stars is the lack of a proper hotel bar
The lounge closed at 7 o’clock and while you could have a drink later in part of the restaurant it was not really a hotel bar
Shame to not make use of the great view in the evening but this bother some people
But otherwise we enjoyed our stay

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Century Southern Tower with another couple for a two night post-cruise stay in September 2025.
We found the hotel to be in an ideal location for sightseeing around Tokyo. The metro is walkable within minutes from the hotel and for more local journey’s we used the local taxi’s which were frequent and relatively cost effective.
We arrived early morning, having exited the cruise ship first thing. Despite a polite request we were not able to check in to our rooms until the stated 3pm, which we understand but was a little disappointing.
With the hotel being situated in a high tower all the rooms have a great view of Tokyo. The rooms were functional clean and tidy and a reasonable size for a city hotel.
Breakfast was good quality and plentiful and all staff were polite and helpful.
All in all we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is in a great location and is good quality, clean and the staff efficient.
