We stayed in this hotel as 2 adults and a teenage child sharing one room. The hotel has a lovely communal reception for chatting, reading, eating together etc. The bakery is outstanding with freshly baked cakes, pastries, bagels and grilled cheese sandwiches. There is also a buffet restaurant for breakfast - just a warning that if you don’t include this in your booking and wish to pay as you go that it is quite expensive (£50 for 3 people per day). The rooms are lovely and clean with towels and water replaced daily and a full clean twice a week. Not overly spacious but absolutely adequate and the beds are a really good size. The restaurant in the hotel is also open of an evening but we didn’t try this. A wonderful hotel that I would definitely recommend and would certainly return.

“Lovely stay with a very nice location”

We stayed at The Knot for 5 nights and had a very good stay overall. The hotel is located in a leafy area opposite the lush Shinjuku Chuo park in contrast to what is otherwise a grey Tokyo. We found the hotel to be continently located from Shinjuku station (~14-16 mins walk) and some of the other main attractions (Tokyo Metropolitan building, Meiji Jingu shrine, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden) were a walkable for us as well. Local buses to Shibuya depart from the nearest bus stop which is very close to the hotel (Bus #51). Key departmental stores are very closeby and accessible. The staff remain courteous and very helpful. Especially the front desk helmed by Hampl Alexandr who helped us quickly resolve an issue with temperature cooling we faced one night and also assisted in booking taxi transfers at the last moment on the day of our departure. In our room, the temperature of the water in our shower taps were perfectly to our liking (just about enough hot). The cleaning staff does a wonderful job with changing the toiletries and towels on a regular basis. What elevates the daily experience is the that the hotel lobby has a fantastic bakery (Morethan) which stocks high quality bakery products round the clock. Also the coffee available at the lobby area (served by the barista Prakash) was on point on the days we ordered. My only minor grouse was the lack of storage place (wardrobe primarily) in what is a small living room. But I guess that is pretty much the room construct of the hotel rooms in Tokyo. We hope to come back soon in future.

“Great public area but actual rooms basic and small.”

Public area of the hotel is really good. The bakery is superb and the restaurant ok. However, the actual hotel rooms are quite small and basic. Pod style bathrooms but the shower was hot and powerful. Had a fantastic view of the Metropolitan Building. The check in process was a nightmare. It’s all… more

Public area of the hotel is really good. The bakery is superb and the restaurant ok. However, the actual hotel rooms are quite small and basic. Pod style bathrooms but the shower was hot and powerful. Had a fantastic view of the Metropolitan Building. The check in process was a nightmare. It’s all done digitally which I presume is supposed to save time but it didn’t, just really annoyed us! Check out, strangely was very easy. Set up with the bakery doesn’t really flow either. You queue to get your pastries but then have to queue again to get coffee. Bit annoying and time consuming. Sounds like I didn’t like the hotel but I did, just think it’s too expensive for the basic room. Loved the happy hour !!
