check in is a bit hassle when their system cannot find our reservation and it's already 1 am in the morning when arrived, but the staff are really helpful with the check-in and they're all polite, that helps us feel more at ease.

the hotel is near the 7/11. there is also a café underneath the hotel that you can order through uber eats for pick up if you do not want to fall in line and want to eat inside your room. there is also currency exchange inside and a vending machine too. it's also walkable to don quijote, ichiran ramen, sushi rrestaurant and subway stations!

I wasn't able to try to onsen (I think) on the 14th floor, but I heard that it's always busy. I also wasn't able to try the laundry area as I saw the review that they only have 2 washer and 2 dryer available for the whole hotel. I hope they can upgrade the laundry area as it's very convenient to have one inside the hotel room. they also have a luggage scale which is very helpful, put my mind at ease.

for the room, I already expected it to be small. I make sure next time to ask if they have a room that is bigger than we had because we can't even fit our four 23kg luggage and there is no storage area underneath the bed, though the room is clean and the housekeeping make sure we have fresh towels and bathrobes everyday.

also the airconditioner and heater are centralized so if you feel hot, just ask front desk for a fan like we did.

overall, I recommend this place. safe and clean.

Good location. Hotel was clean and staff are very helpful! Would have been better if toiletries are complete. But overall, can’t complain. I slept like a baby.

Clean room. APA Hotels are expected to have a bit of a smaller room, but it was still comfortable enough for a solo traveler with just a standard carry on bag and a backpack. The public bath was refreshing. There is only one washer and dryer, but the downside is that the washer takes 30 minutes but the dryer needs 2 hours or sometimes more to finish so coordinating that can be a hassle. Somebody had actually taken my clothes out and put theirs in in the middle of my dry cycle which was kind of annoying. Also the temperature in the room can be warm at times especially during the day if your room faces the sun. The window at this particular hotel couldn't be cracked open to let the cool air in either which would've been perfect as it was 60F outside most nights. The cleaning lady was also very nice and helpful too.

The room was clean, the staff were helpful and courteous. The Onsen/Spa area was nice. I would suggest that the vending machine, microwave and ice dispenser should all be under one area for better convenience, unless it was on purpose? So it doesnt get crowded?

Great hotel - for a few reasons. Tawaramachi Station right out the front the hotel. So many convenience stores within walking distance. An easy walk to a delicious little local restaurant (Asari 111). Asakusa was a great area to explore. We went to the Sumo Club for a show (recommended!!!), shopping for ceramics and homewares on Kappabashidogugai Street, Senjo-ji Temple and so much more. An easy subway ride into every attraction in Tokyo and the best part of all, a lovely onsen to soak the day away. The reception was friendly and helpful. They gave me change for the laundry, we were able to wash and dry clothes and checkout was a breeze. 10/10

The staff’s hospitality was excellent. Although I arrived before check-in time, they kindly stored my luggage for me, and they also kept it after check-out. There is a large bath on the 14th floor where I was able to relax and soak away the fatigue of my trip. However, while there is a laundry machine, there is only one, so if another guest is using it, it would be impossible to use unless you have plenty of time.

First time staying at an APA and it was amazing - room was a decent size, breakfast was via the adjacent Komeda Coffee and was toast, yogurt and a coffee.

Also a great way to try the Japanese public bath experience via the one on the top floor.

Very close (as in right next to it) to Tawaramachi metro station and not far to walk to Kappabashi Shopping or the Senso-ji Shrine area.

A great hotel for a modest budget.

The property was overall nice, we did not stay for more than a day or two so we don’t know much about cleaning service/all services. They asked us if we needed our room to be cleaned when we left for the day which was nice but they do need to dust the headboard of the bed though i noticed. Nice place - we would come back and go to other APA’s in the future

Convenient location, the room gets incredibly dusty, likely due to the feather pillows, and not everywhere gets cleaned during cleaning days so it was a little stuffy. The facilities were good, but only one washing machine per gender. And no closet in standard rooms which meant I had to live out of a suitcase for over 2 weeks. Out of all the chain hotels, this one maybe falls 3rd. I had a much better experience at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn’s.
