APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Eki Tower
Rooms were air conditioned of course but outside the room (on all guest room floors, I suppose) was not air conditioned. I felt cold while waiting for an elevator. Everything else was very good.

THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku
Second time booking at Knot. First was during Tokyo Marathon. I will book again when I visit Tokyo. It may be a bit of a walk to Shinjuku Station but the place is not chaotic which I prefer. The restaurant at the second floor is very good too aside from the bread they sell at the lobby.
