Returning to Tokyo for the first time in 3 years, the Sunroute was an obvious choice: it's close to Shinjuku station, and rates were reasonable. There's currently a lot of rebuilding work around the station, so every time I arrived by train I'd get lost and walk around for 15 minutes, utterly confused, but that says more about me than the hotel.
The hotel rooms aren't enormous but are large enough for you not to feel trapped inside a rabbit hutch. The shower is good and powerful, and the mirrors are still heated so they don't fog up when you shower. Internet in the rooms is free (via cable, rather than wifi) which is very nice when other hotels would prefer to charge you through the nose for this.
Breakfast is a little bit expensive for what you get - a buffet with quite a lot of bread products, not much in the way of fruit - but the restaurant in the evening gives a decent array of Italian food.
The airconditioning in the room is rather complicated to work (there's a whole page in the guide to the room explaining what everything does) but it does keep you warm on those chilly February nights in Tokyo. Bed was very comfortable and the room was nice and quiet (on the 7th floor, facing away from the station, which seems to be a consistent charm in achieving a decent night's sleep)
