Our stay at The Kimpton, Shinjuku, was fantastic. The location is ideal, just a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, making it easy to explore Tokyo.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, with a relaxed vibe that made us feel right at home. The on-site coffee shop was a great spot to start the day, offering a variety of options, including choices for dairy-free and lactose-intolerant guests.
The room was spacious, with separate areas for the bed, lounge, and dining. The modern decor was stylish, and the blackout blinds were perfect for getting some rest. Despite being in the heart of Shinjuku, the room was wonderfully quiet, thanks to excellent soundproofing.
Breakfast was a highlight and well worth the cost. The set menu had everything you could want—appetisers, mains, a breadbasket, breakfast bowls, juices, and coffee. We also enjoyed the in-room dining, which was easy to order through the bedside table and arrived quickly, hot, and delicious.
The only small downside was the lack of a safe in the room for securing our belongings. Despite this, our first Kimpton experience was excellent, and we’ll definitely stay here again if we’re back in Tokyo.
