Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main
Stayed here as it was practically next door to the start of the Tokyo Marathon and had zero regrets. Besides the ideal location, there were enough eating options/restaurants below the hotel. Amenities were excellent. Liked the breakfast. And walking distance to the Shinjuku Station.

Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo
Great hotel, very helpful staff and awesome location. The only very minor issue I had was that the room was slightly dated, specially the bathroom. But the convenience, attentive staff, and proximity to Shinjuku station more than made up for it.
