Lonely Planet Review

Spanning two buildings, an old and a new, the Sunlite is run by friendly, English-speaking staff. This is a clean, cosy business hotel located in a central area near Shinguku-gyoen. If you're going to stay in Shinjuku, the Sunlite will do the trick without breaking the budget.

Though the small rooms are typical of lesser business hotels in its class, they're well maintained and express more sunshiny warmth somehow. Little touches like triangular bay windows and trapezoidally shaped rooms lend a funky air to an otherwise rather ordinary place. The Sunlite's central location in east Shinjuku puts you near the Yamanote line and three subway lines, Shinjuku-gyoen, nocturnal life in Kabukicho and all of Shinjuku's giant shopping centres.
