THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku

8/10 Good
"It was an ok place to stay in Tokyo. I would go somewhere else next time. Pros: - close to shinjuku but not too close so outside the craziness - amazing hotel bakery - very helpful staff - laundry room available although tiny and with only 3 machines Cons: - rooms are tiny (really tiny compared to other hotels in Japan and Tokyo) - subway stations are a 20-30 min walk"
