HOTEL THE KNOT YOKOHAMA

I've stayed at The Knot Yokohama four times now, it's a wonderful little 'artsy' hotel with a lot of character. It's a great location just a few blocks from the train station. The bar is excellent with a professional bartender that really knows what he is doing. My only complaint is that the rooms are very small, even by Japanese standards.

I've booked this hotel in March 2025 for a week. The hotel in itself is old, the carpet smells old, the furnitures are old. I've booked the large double room for a week and my stay was not worth the money I've spent. The carpet is my room had multiple large black and white spills. The bathroom faucet was cracked. Also I've opted for less cleaning, and the staff gave me two sets of pyjamas, towels, and slippers everyday for 7 days. I had accumulated a huge pile of them by the end of my stay. The silver lining was that the staff was really helpful. they carried my luggage to my room and accepted my parcel deliveries. The hotel isn't close enough to the station (it looks like it is). The streets around the hotel are very lively with loads of izakaya and one karaoke place , if that's what you like. Would not go again.

Great location so close to shops and eating area. We had a great time walking around exploring the little streets. Not close to the popular sight seeing things BUT it’s a short ride away on train. Loved the service by the older gentleman’s. The room was big enough for the two of us.

Absolutely dirties and stuffiest hotel of my entire trip. the dirtiest hotel of my entire Japan trip (this hotel is the 6th hotel I stayed in). The room is extremely stuffy with zero air circulation, and the bathroom doesn’t even have a fan! The carpet is covered with lots of stains, and the bathroom is the tiniest I’ve seen among all the 3-star hotels I stayed at in Japan on this trip. Very disappointing.

Loved my stay at the Knot hotel, the staff were so nice at check in (two ladies and a gentleman) the younger staff checked me in, she was warm, cheerful(a good image for the hotel) the room was cozy and comfy. Excellent location, loved all the amenities, the welcome drink, the only problem was that it was too hot, i think they have turned off the air con because of the weather.

The Knot is unique in a good way from any other hotel we’ve stayed at in Japan. The vibe is very chilled, from the music that welcomes you via the ground floor bar area through to the 2nd floor reception area. We found the staff welcoming, friendly and very competent. The coin operated laundry is clean and the washer/dryer machines are very inexpensive; so very convenient to have this facility in the hotel. Note the room and bathroom is small; however, we managed well with 2 suitcases and 3 bags. A pleasant surprise was having full sized coffee mugs (a small thing, but the oft supplied tiny mugs is annoying)! Thank to all at The Knot!

STAY AWAY, DO NOT RECOMMEND! Dirtiest hotel in Japan that I've seen. Stains all over the carpets, smell in the room, no air-conditioning, washroom fan doesn't work. Resorting to opening window for air. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Probably my least fav Knot location by far. Everything’s super old, and the AC would not work (0 air circulation at all) so the room was super stuffy. Better off paying less to stay at a business hotel.

Staff understands English just for check in. They were NOT helpful for directions and help around Tokyo. :( Room size: 1. 12m2 Double room for two (the exact same double room for 1) is significantly smaller than the twin for two at 1000 yen more per night. 3 of our 4 suitcases did NOT fit under the bed. My wife and I played Tetris with suitcases just to get dressed in the morning. :( Highly recommend twin for two. If my wife and I return to this hotel, it's the twin for two or we are looking for another hotel. The cover to the bed was dusty and room was a little musty. They provide a bottle of air freshener. Location 4: easy access to restaurants and bars. Walking back with luggage to Yokohama station wasn't.

A welcome drink was served at the bar. The room looked good, but the bed was incredibly dusty. Unfortunately, could not sleep well by coughing. Hoping the hotel improves its operations.

A few hundred meters away from Yokohama station along the main road. Clean rooms with beds designed higher than usual to accommodate underneath luggages for storage. Average in size or usual for Japanese hotels.
