    It’s a great place. Just make sure you check the name. There are so many APAs there it can be confusing.

    Check out time is a bit too early for my liking. 11 maybe but 10 is just way too early. I went there to have some fun I’m going to wake up late.

    The free VODs. I’ve been to many 3-star business class hotels in the summer time but this place also had the best AC.

    Elevators could get busy. Even with four, especially at checkout time (bust same for all hotels)

    Had everything you need in a compact format, nice Onsen with indoor and outdoor baths, coin laundry, clean.

    More variety in food during breakfast and better movie selections (there were 4 very bad movies) but you can always mirror screen from your ipad/phone. However, netflix didn't work Other than that, everything was good.

    The breakfast was good and the location was excellent. Less than 10 minutes from all the fun zone in Shinjuku and very close to train station. Excellent value for money

    The hotel has two buildings attached and only three washing machines and dryers. Even though there’s a laundromat just outside, we were not able to do our laundry. It was pouring heavily in Tokyo when we arrived and had to walk ~10min to reach the hotel, so we were soaked. Had to dry our things with the hairdryer (worked quite well, but still).

    Great location and even though the room was very small (11m2) it was comfortable, had everything we needed and we could even open both our medium suitcases on the floor without having to jump over them to get around. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. After having checked out we could leave our suitcases there for the day for free, before taking the evening flight.

    A bit compact rooms but that’s the norm and also a very very very confusing to find, there’s like three other properties with similar names.

    It was great! Located in the middle of Shinjuku close to a lot of things and stations and just overall super convenient!! We managed to cover everything plus the hotel has everything you need and they change towels and all each day or whenever you ask. Super awesome staff too!

    Check-In can be smoother with more clerks in the counter and a faster process.

    Breakfast buffet was great. Small space, but a reasonable variety of Japanese and international dishes.

    We had 5 people, so registering on the self-service machine took time and staff was nervous over the queue it was forming. Self-check-in is ok for one, maybe 2 people registration, but for 5 too time consuming, so check-in could have been handled by hotel staff.

    Friendly staff, good food selection and onsen(or is public bath more correct term). For Japan the room was reasonable size. Good location.

    The ventilation went off several times during the night, which made the room very hot.

    It's a bit impersonal, feels a bit like a capsule hotel where it's mainly self-service.

    Good location right near everything in Shinjuku. Bed was comfortable. Despite the tiny bedroom, there were lots of efficiencies built in to try and make the space better used. For example there were hooks, drawers, ledges and space under the bed for the suitcases. There's also an on site onsen but we didn't check it out.

    The breakfast isn't really worth it in terms of quality, but with a hungry teenager at least one of us got our money's worth. The coffee is truly dire - wait and get it elsewhere. The bathroom is teeny tiny as expected for Tokyo, but it was very clean and functional. While the location is near lots of restaurants in Shinjuku, it's 12-15 mins solid walk from any of the major train stations, which adds a chunk of time to days when you're already doing a lot of walking, especially if you need a break from the heat in the late afternoon. Also the lobby and check-in process are a bit hectic and the staff feel rushed.

    The room was neat and efficiently organised, fine for two people as long as you can put luggage under the bed. The spa and robes were great. It's a big hotel, but a good base for exploring Shinjuku.

    It took us a bit to find the right APA hotel, given there are about 20 in the vicinity of each other! But once we mastered the maps and found it, all went smoothly. The room really is small - and perhaps missing a wardrobe, the only "storage area" being under the bed - but it makes up for it with environment-consciousness and value for money.

    The hotel is located in Shinjuku, which is a really fun area to be in. The rooms, although small, have all the amenities we needed. We loved the yukata provided and the option for an in-house bath experience. The automated check-in and check-out process were efficient.

    Was poring down rain while we were there and we were in the top floor, there was no roof which means that the carpets on our level were soaked. Laundry was in a different building and the dryers were filled with lint. Very small room.

    Good location, filled with international travellers. Just far enough out of the centre of Shinjuku that you don't get the noise but is spitting distance
