I'm heading back to Tokyo next week for an 8-day trip and trying to find last-minute accomodations is particularly tough this season for under $500/ni. I was able to snag up 4 days of awards at the Moxy Kinshicho, but no availability near new year. I was able to get a reasonable rate though for the Super Hotel Kinshicho (easiest to change hotels to, right next to the Kinshocho station) and the Livemax Shinjuku Kabokicho. Reviews on the Livemax are, well..not good, the Super Hotel seems to be better, just less convenient for getting around.
Probably a long shot, but has anyone tried either of these hotels?
