Galois Hotel Shinokubo – A Favorite for Families in Tokyo

Galois Hotel Shinokubo offers air-conditioned rooms with tatami floors, walk-in showers, and premium bedding. Each room has a flat-screen TV, work desk, and is individually decorated for a distinct character. The double and standard twin rooms include private bathrooms with plush towels and complimentary water.

The hotel has a public bath available for all guests, providing a place to unwind after a day of walking. A laundry room with washing machines and a smoking room are located on the second floor. Free coffee and tea are served in the lobby, along with a vending machine and an ice machine.

An on-site restaurant serves American and vegetarian breakfasts each morning, with table service rather than a buffet. Room service is available for lunch and dinner, offering both local and international dishes. The restaurant also provides a terrace for outdoor seating on sunny days.

Shin-Okubo Station on the JR Yamanote Line is a 2-minute walk from the hotel, giving direct access to Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku. Nearby cultural sites include Kaichu Inari Shrine (200 meters away), the Korea Museum, and the Samurai Museum. Okubo Park and Meotogi Shrine are also within walking distance.

The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage and can arrange luggage transfers to other hotels for a fee. Daily housekeeping supplies fresh towels and bottled water even when room cleaning is not requested. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV in common areas and outside, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and key card access on all floors.
