Always like this place, 4th time. Unfortunately they've changed to an \"advanced\" check-in system that simply doesn't work properly and it took 4x as long to check in as usual. Completely unnecessary if they had stuck with the old way. Other than that, perfect.

I stayed in APA hotels in Shinjuku and Ueno - both excellent. It is a great chain for a 'middle class traveller'. I booked last minute for this one and now know why it had a vacancy! This particular one could do a better job in customer service....said politely. They gave me a regular small room (1 person), However, the bed was not elevated like in the other APA hotels - to store my suitcases etc. I asked to be moved, when possible, (people come and go everyday) and he/they bluntly said, \"no, don't like it, go to another hotel!\" Not a word of a lie. I had spent 6 previous nights in an APA hotel and was spending 4 nights there and they won't move me to the same size room, I only wanted an elevated bed! On top of it, one towel and one cup provided - paper cups to boot (the others had nice glass ones). The 'really friendly' 'general' manager stood at the front door at certain times and surveyed you and if you were staying there. When I first walked up to check in, he didn't say hello, he said, \"Passport!!\". Don't get the bfast either - also....less desirable. The Bfast at the Shinjuku APA was awesome!! I am a low maintenance traveller, so for this to be unfavourable, think twice before booking. My two cents. Ian from Canada

The bed was comfortable in an otherwise cramped room. Sold as a single, but says it can sleep 2. 2 people would really struggle in this room. It's ok for 1 but not really a tourist hotel more business user or single traveller. My biggest complaint is the ridiculously high step into the bathroom. I stayed in another APA hotel which was the same. It is a serious trip hazard and very inconvenient and uncomfortable entering or exiting. The door to the bathroom is also very narrow, I could not go in or out without having to pass through sideways.

Water sink in the room is hard to control its hot/cool. 2. Staff who cleaned our room often forgot different refreshment.

Your good quality but average Tokyo hotel, the rooms aren’t very large but for this price point you won’t be getting anything larger in Tokyo.

I'll start with the positives. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, and the mattress was comfortable. While the provided pillows were terrible, the front desk was happy to provide larger ones. The location was also good, with transit only a few minute walk away and a good Italian restaurant attached.
Now the negatives. The AC unit could only be turned on or off. Adjusting the settings on the panel had no effect; apparently the temperature is fixed and nobody can change it.
The room is TINY. A double bed (only accessible from one side), a desk, and a 2 foot space between them.
In the bathroom you had to actively work to not splash water all over the floor when showering.

I stayed here for my first visit to Tokyo. I picked this hotel for the price and location and I was not disappointed. It is in a safe, clean neighborhood next to a 7-11 and there are two metro stops (Toronomon and Shimashi) nearby that I used daily. Plenty of good and close restaurants, and it is an easy walk to Tokyo Tower. The room itself was small but had everything I needed. My only very small complaint is that the pillows were not comfortable, very flat, but the bed was nice and the room was clean. The front desk was very nice and even helped me book a massage reservation since I don't speak Japanese.

A good value for Tokyo visit. Accessible to sites.

We often choose business hotels for weekend stays in various countries as they are a good value for the traveler. This hotel is in a business district that is quieter on the weekends but easy to get to Tokyo sites, many by walking. There are plenty of restaurants as well. The room was small but clean and well in excellent repair. Staff was polite, and able to help me sometimes despite my poor Japanese. They have signage and instructions in English. Not a lot of extras but when you are touring you are gone all day and collapse at night. There is a small restaurant (Italian) attached where breakfast (mostly Japanese style but with European options) which you can include for a reasonable price.

APA Capsule Hotel

This had to be the worst hotel I stayed in….ever! I am in International business, travelled to over 40 countries for the past 20+ years, stayed in hundreds of hotels, was based in Tokyo for 23 years and while Japanese business hotels are generally small, this hotel offers broom closet sized rooms!

1. Smallest possible room. No room for any luggage, Too cramped.Guests are racked and stacked. Should be called a capsule hotel.
2. The breakfast was horrible. Tasteless scrambled eggs, no toaster, crappy,stale bread, mystery meat sausages made me feel nauseous. They gotta change the menue and the chef. ( sorry chef )
3. Only two outlets to charge your devices in the room. Oh but they do offer an adsl cable connection ( who the heck uses those anymore??? )
4. No usb charging port.
5. English TV selection is nil. BBC news is only English channel but has only one audio setting that has both Japanese audio translations overlaid on English. That will drive you nuts!
6. If you want to have a late check out….forget it. If you really need to stay later then its 1,000JPY an hour. No flexibility regardless of the fact that I stayed at this hotel for 9 days and 1000+USD later.
7. Pillows consist of a flat 1 inch thick mat. fold it and its too thick, leave it as is and you might as well have no pillow at all.

I am trying very hard to find anything positive about this hotel but thonly good thing was check out with my back to the hotel as I left.
