    carpet in room seems pretty dirty

    Lighting in room is good. TV is good. Room had natural light. Bathroom was small, OK for japanese standards. Other than onsen, amenities were not much.

    Good solid hotel in a good location - 5 min walk to a 2-line subway station and a 10 min walk to Shinjuku Station with an abundance of connections. Hotel itself is nice, would recommend a high floor if possible as views are nice. Rooms very comfortable and clean.

    Really only two things. 1. The window in my room didn’t open. It was deadbolted shut. I imagine this has to do with the height and the fact that maybe since this is a party-prone area, it’s risky to allow windows open? However having 0 fresh air in my room kinda sucked. 2. The onsen closes at midnight. This was the earliest out of all the hotels I stayed at including other APAs (roppongi APA was open until 2am). Again, I assume this is because people party in Shinjuku and they don’t want drunk folks using an onsen between midnight and 2am, but having it close that early affected my plans most nights because I’d come home early to catch a dip before bed.

    I love how close this was to everything. Extremely convenient location. I also loved that I only paid a tiny bit extra (around $20 USD) to be on floor 17 and above. I wanted a view from my room and I sure got it! Lastly staff was very friendly and accommodating. I extended my check out by 1 hour and wanted to pay via cash, just had to do it in person with someone at the front desk and they helped me do that with ease.

    Room was quite small, even tough I was on my own. It's not like I need a lot of space but I wouldn't recommend the same room for a couple. It's just enough for one person.

    Very clean, super convenient location, very quiet at night even though it's in the middle of shinjuku. It has everything you need and more (a bunch of toilettries!)

    Enjoyable stay with friendly staff and a relaxing onsen, but the location near a red-light district may be uncomfortable

    The hotel located in quite a dodgy area in Shinjuku. One of the most dodgiest that I have came across. It is not unsafe as Japan is generally safe everywhere, but some may not be comfortable passing that area especially those travelling with family. At night, the whole place will turn into red light district. Other than that, generally this hotel is good.

    Location is not exactly located within the central Shinjuku, you would need to walk for about 15 to 20 mins from the happening area in Shinjuku but the hotel is quite close to the Korean town. Also comes with onsen for you to relax after long day out. Hotel staff are friendly.

    The room is small, as is standard in Japan so only a short stay is recommended. Room was a bit dusty.

    Excellent location just on the outskirts of Kabukicho, lots of amenities provided in the room, room was comfortable. Very good value for money.

    The set heating temperature at 29! You can’t change the temp. If you run warm or like cold air on you whilst you sleep it’s a massive let down ! We were awake for 2 hours of the night because it was so hot! Even had a cold shower.

    Loved our stay here, spacious room was able to put our 5 bags in there. Very clean, excellent amenities

    The room is very small but you can store your luggage under the bed, which helps, otherwise it would have been difficult. The staff refused to store our luggage overnight as we had one night out of town then planned to come back to the same hotel. For that we cancelled our last night at Apa hotel and chose another hotel closer to Ueno station, accommodating our travel plans a little more.

    The onsen is clean and modern. The room is small but has all you need for a stay over in Shinjuku. It has a nice city view.

    The bathtub drain wasn't functioning well, it doesn't drain the water quick enough so even a short shower with medium water flow can start accumulating in a minute.

    The staff were very nice and helpful, it's in a good location close to several stations. I didn't use any facilities except for the rented room so my review is based on that.

    As in previous reviews the room is small but manageable for 2.

    The location. Near the train station. Lots of restaurants, bars and night clubs. But the area is safe. Walking distance to 7-11, Lawson, Familymart. Nearby laundry mat. You’re also near to Godzilla head and the 3D cat.
