    I didn’t like that I got a few messages from the staff about knowing the “exact” time of arrival for us to check in, and since we arrived at night, we got stressed about arriving on the time we declared… only to find out that we had to do a “self check in” through a machine!!!! Too much of a hurry for nothing, we still wonder why you needed so much detail about arrival time. Another thing we didn’t like is that after check out there was no lobby to wait for a while, or a sofa to sit, and we went with our luggage on the street. No ability to charge our phones, or use an accessible toilet on premises after check out. And last, too early check out ( 10:00am).

    The location was excellent, minutes away from all the restaurants and the local bars, the nightlife and shops. Everything was within walking distance. Very good spot and I would definitely recommend it to people who want to experience Shinjuku vibe

    The hotel staff were amazing and always happy to help. Breakfast was unreal and the facilities were kept immaculate. In a very a convenient spot for exploring.

    Far from JR station walk about 15mins. Noisy overnight time, heard siren from police or ambulance more than 3 times a night

    A lot of shop and restaurants around the hotel. Nice staffs communicated in English. Easy check-in. Main door and elevator activate by room card. 2 bottles of water free every night. TV can be connected to smart phone. Free hot bath at the 2nd floor main building. 2 elevators

    This isn't really a negative - housekeeping left towels, new yukatas, and other amenities on our door daily. While that is a nice touch, we didn't need amenities replenished every day and wished there was a way to communicate this!

    Spa facilities were great, though usually quite busy at night. We were jet lagged so visiting the spa early in the morning was ideal. The room was tight, but storing luggage under the bed made things more convenient. Location was close enough to the hubbub without being in the middle of it.

    We were in the 'west' building, where as majority of facilities were in the 'tower'; going back and forth was inconvenient.

    The hotel was incredibly comfortable, clean and conveniently located. The rooms are small, but well organised so as to still fit two people, suitcases and hand baggage. Bed was particularly comfortable!

    Please add English TV channels or programs for Non Japanese guests. We were looking forward to book one twin room for a family of four with two kids. But we ended up booking two separate rooms on different floors. Twin occupancy rooms should be available for booking for families.

    Breakfast was good, please add more options in English breakfast menu.

    We had a double bed and it was quite small

    Great location in the middle of Shinjuku, close to bus and subway stations. Also close to Shibuya and to shin-Okubo, the Korean neighborhood. Nice restaurants and convenience stores close by. Clean and nice hotel with a luxurious touch. Nice toiletries., well lit room. Even though the room is quite small it is well distributed and the fact that you can store luggage under the bed is key! If you book this hotel make sure to get the right name/address because there are 2 or 3 APA close to it (this is more like an advice, not an issue!)

    Would have preferred the rooms to be cleaned daily, instead of once every 3 days.

    Love being able to go to the public bath every night and soak in the onsen pool. Very relaxing. The room may be small, but it has everything you need for a good night's sleep and stay. All the information on the TV homepage, which was great.

    Nothing to really pick on except that it would be good to improve the design of the towel rack

    The room was clean and the features/design were all very considerate of the traveller within a small tokyo accommodation i.e bedside power points with international adaptors, space to slide your luggage under the bed, onsen crowd monitor etc. About 10-15 min walk to shinjuku, shin-okubo and shin-higashi stations so connectivity was good too. Nearby the hotel there’s also a batting cage that we frequented and a mini ‘korea town’ that we visited to have a change in dietary flavours.

    The room was very small to walk around and there was no luggage storage besides under the bed which was too low to fit one of our bags.

    Very comfy bed western style bed. Good supply of toiletries and desk had very good lighting. Enjoyed the lighting being all built into the bed with easy to use buttons.

    - The rooms are rather small - as expected - The view from the room was blocked by another building (almost no daylight in the room) - The washing machines did not really clean my laundry (even though I generally like that there are laundry cleaning facilities in the hotel)

    + Everything was clean - as expected + The staff was helpful (in the few cases, I needed support) + The Onsen was not special, though a great place to relax

    I don’t think this is a great part of Tokyo to stay in for first time visitors. Perhaps stay in Shibuya instead.

    Exactly what you expect from APA. Clean and well maintained facilities.
