We arrived via the N'exarita stopping somewhere in the Shinjuku train station maze. Exit West main exit side, Keio is a 7-10 min walk. We stayed in the South Tower and rate incl. Exec Lounge access, great for planning our day or relaxing with a coffee after a days sightseeing.
Unknown to us when we booked the hotel back in Jan 19, our stay in early October was also the England Rugby Team's Tokyo base for the weekend of their pool match v Argentina. We found out when Eddie Jones San entered the lift as we exited. We then saw Jack Knowell and family plus Tom Curry, post Argentina game at breakfast. We have them their personal space exchanging simple "hellos".
Room, being one of their premium rooms was pretty much perfect. Like every hotel we stayed at, great bathroom freebies. It was a huge double bed. Breakfast, included in our rate, was quite an extensive choice. Fried eggs were cold though, a common thing in Japan but you can ask for hot egg omelettes etc.
The sky / top floor bar was a great place to end your day, open late, cocktails beers etc. Superb view of the night skyline across Tokyo. Had some great conversations with Japanese and other guests.
We had our wifi hub delivered to the hotel and they also arranged forwarding of our main luggage to our next stay in Kyoto. No traumas.
Overall I would recommend the Keio Plaza, it was pricey but perfect location. We did not eat at the hotel but that is generally what we do, eat what and where the locals eat.
