I'd like something relatively close to the center of things and I need a private room...no dorms. Anyone have any suggestions?

I found this place:

It seems pretty good and very resonable...only about 47,000 won a night.

Many thanks in advance!

I stayed at the Star Hotel right at Shinjuku station right in the middle of the action. It cost about 11,000 yen a night, or about 95,000 won a night. Rooms weren't big, but they were very clean and the staff was great and it came with a great free breakfast in the mornings. It is a very busy hotel though so you will want to book ahead.

If you're looking on the cheap end of things, The Sakura Hotel is more of a hostel, but they do have private rooms, at about 3-4,000yen a night, and it's quite central (near Jimbocho subway stn, not far from City air terminal).

I spent a couple of weeks there and was pleased with the place. Clean, friendly, central.

Hmmm...the Sakura looks pretty good, but I see they rent rooms by the hour.

Do "ladies of the evening" frequent that place?

I use this chain of hotels whenever travelling in Japan, I've always been impressed with the quality of the rooms, prices and english ability of the staff.

I just got back from Tokyo last weekend and I stayed at the Sakura hotel at Jimbocho station. I was pleased with it as well. It's kind of between a hostel and a hotel it seems. Not a bad place overall. I didn't notice any "ladies of the evening" either haha.
