    Good quality and good value Tokyo hotel.

    Small but great quality rooms. New towels and things delivered daily. Great to have a proper spa in the hotel, which I used every night. Pretty good location, about 20 min walk to Shinjuku, but a closer metro line too. Lots of eating options nearby. Definitely happy with this hotel.

    We couldn’t control the temperature and the heating was so high we were sweating all night it was so uncomfortable. The pillows were also horrible, made of small foam balls, very difficult to sleep well.

    Excellent location, close to the station and entertainment. The spa/onsen was a wonderful bonus, very luxurious. Room was just big enough and everything was clean.

    This property gets hot on some nights, so if this is a big issue for you I’d recommend looking else where.

    Location is great, many things to do around the area while also being near many stations. It’s also very clean.

    Aircon cannot be adjusted, which meant it was very hot all the time, couldn’t open window either for fresh air

    Great location. Ammenities fantastic. Could cast to tv which is great as most airbnb and hotels only do Japanese tv. Amazing food around. Comfortable. Great view of the city.

    Only a small gripe, but they refused to accept a parcel on behalf of us which was cash on delivery, despite us offering to pay in advance. Instead, we had to wait for the delivery in our room.

    Good location, good view, close to public transport. Room was cleaned to a high standard

    Fantastic location within 10 minutes walk of Golden Gai and 20 minutes from Shinjuku station. Plenty of konbinis within easy reach and nearby Higashi-Shinjuku metro station makes getting to other districts incredibly easy. Rooms are compact but that's part of the appeal - if all you're going to be doing is sleeping there and then spending the rest of the time exploring, it's great value for a comfortable bed, good shower room and convenient hotel facilities. Would definitely stay in more APA hotels on future trips.

    Not really something at fault with the hotel, just unlucky timing, the very few numbers of washing machines and dryers, caused me to wait for over 6 hours until 1am to complete 1 washing as a group of students were using multiple machines with multiple loads the night before I needed to check out

    I liked that it was quite simple and easy to navigate from Shinjuku station/Kabukicho, the public baths with open air option was nice and there was under bed storage which the previous APA hotel I was at didn't have and even though I didn't book a room with a view, mine was pretty nice

    Rooms could be a bit bigger as they are small even for Japanese standards. Also, the Parking, though attached to the hotel and catering only to guests, claimed that they are separate entities and could not assist me when I needed to park the rental

    Very good hotel with all necessary ammenities in an excellent spot of Shinjuku.

    The only option was heating for room air conditioning. Which was pretty annoying and uncomfortable as there was no way to make the room cooler. Also the check-in was weird. We saw at least 4-5 staff members but the checkin was self service. That just felt stupid and unwelcoming.

    Great location. Loved the view. Surprising how comfortable the small room can be. Even took a bath in the tiny bath tub which was very comfortable. Would choose an APA hotel again!

    Enjoyed staying, booked an upper floor room! Although the room is pretty small, it's clean and includes amenities. I liked the hot bath (onsen) facility which was on one of the floors. After we checked in, we prepaid for breakfast for just 1 of the mornings of our stay and enjoyed the variety of small dishes, both hot and cold. There are multiple APA hotels in the same area, so be sure to go to the correct one.

    The cost between a saturday night versus other nights does not make sense. Just an additional night during Saturday in the same room was the same price as staying for 2 nights on Thursday and Friday. The view from the hotel room was not great. The room is extremely small, especially the bathroom. I wish they had a better hair dryer, it was very weak.

    Check out process was very easy and using booking.com made things easy.
