The room was tiny. It was a double but the way they fit that bed into the corner, I had to climb over my partner to get in and out of bed. The curtain dangled in my face all night. It suited a 1 person, not a couple. We arrived 1 hour before checkin and they charged us $10Aud for early checkin.... the room was ready anyway (?) Breakfast was okay, I've had better.

Recently We stayed at APA hotel Nippori for five nights. We found a drainage problem on the sink on first day and complained about it on next day. The hotel’s staff member came to fix the sink for a few times with no luck. I didn’t think they have hotel maintenance staff unfortunately.
We ended up to live through with the smelly clogged sink. They gave us free three hours late check out for the compensation after we negotiated.

The hotel was very clean, conveniently located near the station, and definitely worth the price. The staff were also kind and helpful during my stay.

The only downside was that the bed felt a bit too narrow and quite soft. I also wish there had been unlimited complimentary tea and coffee available.

One small issue was that after housekeeping took the pajamas for laundry, they often forgot to return the obi belt together with them.

This is your classic Tokyo value hotel. Rooms are small and efficient.

I wouldn't say it's the nicest APA hotel I've stayed at, but it was most certainly good enough and worth the price paid. I would stay here again.

It's very close to Nippori station, easy enough if you're hauling bags. Nippori is a straight shot to Narita Airport on the Skyliner train, so the location is absoultely excellent for those looking for easy travel from Narita.

It’s right by the nippori station so that in itself is a big plus. The rooms are on the smaller end but very much doable for a party of two in one bed, and especially for a solo traveler.

Laundry is on the second floor and very easy to use. Also, never had the breakfast buffet but it is a traditional Japanese breakfast and not an American one, which is great for those looking for that.

Nippori itself is a lively city, with a quiet and calmer neighborhood to the right of the hotel, and plenty of restaurants, cafe’s, and activities to the left. I personally enjoyed the quick and easy access to the area, and the quick walk to Familymart and the station.

Staff was as friendly as can be, and I recommend this place for those on a budget! It’s a few stops from Ueno and akihabara and Tokyo station on the JR line, which means a great ability to move anywhere

Definitely recommend

I am a short, slim, fit person. I really don't need a lot of room. And you won't get any of that at this hotel. You're supposed to be able to store your luggage under the bed. But you can't. You're supposed to be able to change the temperature in your room. But you can't, this hotel ensures that your room will always be hot enough to bake bread. The bathroom has enough room for a tube of toothpaste, past that you're screwed. It would not surprise me if capsule hotels have more space.

The staff are great, the room cleaning is fine. It's clean. Not far from ueno. In fact the walk there is quite excellent. But honestly, in a room that will barely fit your suitcase, what's the point?

This is a great hotel for anyone wanting to do things around Nippori area but if you are planning to spend most of your time in Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku then I would probably recommend to stay elsewhere because it’s about a 30 minute train ride to most places and you might not want to waste your time with transportation. But otherwise the area around the Hotel was very nice and the vibes were definitely more local versus touristy. I liked that you could get a train directly from Narita to Nippori station. As far as the room itself, it was very small but decent for Tokyo.

This is a budget hotel which I recommend if you are tight on budget. Plus - very close to Niporii Train Station where you can take JR to anywhere. the SkyTrain can take you to Narita Airport in 45 mins. Minus - hotel room is aged and hotel lobby is very tight in space (luggage kept in lobby instead of inside a storage area). Check out time is 10am instead of 11 am. We were charged extra 1000 yen when we check out at 10:30am. Hotel staff should remind guest on checkout time as typically hotel check out time is at 11am.

First stay in an APA Hotel and to be frank I just don’t think these are for me. I’ve stayed in 3 other hotels in Tokyo and I guess for its price point this is one of the better budget ones you can get if you want the convenience of being right next to the station. However, I’m the type to not mind shelling out an extra $50-75 per night for a slightly better hotel.

My partner and I didn’t get good sleep due to the covers being extremely thick and the AC was either too cold or too warm. The bathroom also had a musty smell and even as a 5’0” person I thought it felt too tiny to move around, like I was in an airplane bathroom.

Definitely a budget hotel and if you don’t mind that, go for it due to the convenience. I had another APA hotel booked before staying here but after seeing this, it made me rebook to a different one with higher price points. Just my personal preference to spend a bit more for a more comfortable rest which is important to me personally.

Nice stay in continent hotel.

The hotel was typical of other hotels with the room being fairly small. The bed takes the minority of the room with only a small chair at the desk. This room had slightly more room where the was a place at the foot of the bed to store your luggage. The rooms was well equipped with a food AC, light controls next to the bed, a large TV, although no English channels. Free movies on demand which was nice, although no comfortable chair to watch the movie other than a small chair by the desk. A nice kettle and coffee and tea were provided which was a nice touch. The bathroom was very good as well. Lots of consumables in the bathroom as well.
The hotel was very convenient to the Nippori station. The buffet breakfast was very good as well. The hotel also offered a great luggage storage for the day in you are flying out, which is what I did. The Nippori station is where you can catch the Skyliner Express to Narita airport.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a few nights and overall had a decent experience. The room was clean, which I really appreciated, and the general atmosphere throughout the hotel was quiet and peaceful — a definite plus for getting a good night's rest.

However, the mattress in my room was noticeably worn out and uncomfortable. It felt lumpy and clearly needed to be replaced. This was the biggest downside of my stay, as it affected my sleep quality.

Despite that, the hotel was fairly well-maintained and not very noisy, even during peak hours. With an updated mattress, I would consider staying here again.

Step down from a typical Japan hotel

Kind of surprised how much of a step down from the typical Japan hotel this is. Half or more of the staff are non-native Japanese speakers and attitude from some were kind of harsh, unlike in typical hotels. Head of the bed was against the window which is opposite most other hotels and unfortunately that is where the heater control was so it was a careful balance of keeping it not too high because the space near the window got cold fast while the rest of the room would heat up. TV was firmly bolted to the wall making HDMI acces very difficult. It supported casting but was totally unusable as the WiFi throughput was poor. Free movies though. Do not Disturb sign was not provided which was pretty annoying. Room was clean except for some dark red brown spots on the bathroom wall, when I rubbed with some wet toilet paper they did start to come off so was really surprised housekeeping did not take care of them. I don't know if it was blood but it grossed me out, as did one of the glasses was dirty and looked used. I'd never seen that in a Japan hotel before. Last order for breakfast is 9:00 and I literally walked in at 9:01 one morning and felt like I was getting yelled at. Saw them berate other customers for other things also. 2nd time staying here but now it's 30% higher cost (last time bed was perpendicular to the window). And bed was way too soft and gave me backache.
