    I didn’t like how there was so many people offering sexual favors whenever we went out at night so close to the hotel cuz we experienced this every night however that’s not the hotels problem maybe just a location issue. And we were told when booking about the tattoo issue for the onsen however I would’ve loved to experience it.

    I liked how close we were to so many things to do. And the room was very clean at all times. I would definitely stay here again.

    Had to climb across the bed to get in - the room was so small only one of us could move around at a time and the bathroom was so small the door could not be shut when using the toilet. The room would be OK for a single but hopeless for a double.

    The location was very good with plenty of eating places nearby. They also stored our luggage free of charge on the day we checked out.

    Check in is a little difficult. Yes the rooms are a little small but you can make it work. The pillows were quite uncomfortable.

    Location is everything. Just enough away from the noise but still in a safe and convenient neighbourhood. Right by train stations and convenience stores. The bathrooms were fantastic.

    Not so much didn’t like and I know it’s not just about your policy but also a part of culture and traditions,but that I couldn’t use the public baths because of my tattoos.

    Location was just right for my first time to Japan

    The ridiculous check in and check out times. You check in at 3pm, and have to check out at 10am, which seems a bit cruel. The rooms were very small, just big enough to not be cramped. Even though I booked a room with the view, I was placed in the west building, room 1402, and the view was subpar at best. The bathroom was ridiculously tiny and cramped, when I sat down on the toilet, I could barely have my legs out or they'd press against the door and hurt my knees. The bath itself was also small (but deep), so I couldn't really enjoy a proper bath. The bed itself was big, but the pillows were uncomfortable. For a premiumish hotel, with relatively high prices (spent 3k+ for 10 nights), I'd expect nicer pillows. The covers had slight dirt or rubbish on them as well, but i didn't want to make any complaints. The house keeping staff are also very intrusive and don't respect your privacy, they will knock on your door regardless of what time, and if you don't respond, they instantly try to come in. One of them came in as I was changing, and I had to push the door closed and lock it, and tell them to come back later. From then on I had the doors locked and blocked off so they couldn't come in. A very disappointing housekeeping service, felt very rushed too. They didn't even make the bed properly, the sheets were clearly the same sheets as before, and the blankets were put on the wrong way as well. Another thing, with the washing machine, it takes $5 per use to use it, you're better off going to the laundry mat next door and using their machines, it costs $3 there (keep in mind the hotel only has like three machines, whilst the laundry place has about 5-6) very disappointed, considering the hotel has so many rooms. I hope they read this thorough review and pass it onto the relevant departments so they can improve.

    I liked the location, the staff were helpful, and the food at the restaurant was very nice.

    The room size is limited and small. However we understand this is a Tokyo problem and not just this hotel. If a couple where even if one individual is 6 feet tall or more may struggle to sleep comfortably on the bed together with their partner.

    Good Location and facilities inside the hotel. Staff were very helpful.

    The room is quite small by European standards, but everything you need fits in, and you get used to it quickly.

    Great location – very close to the train station and situated in a nice neighborhood. The automatic check-in and check-out process was fast and convenient.

    Didn't know there were so many APA hotels in Tokyo, got a bit confused trying to find ours.

    Great location, central to various different trains options to get around all of the city. Clean room every day and loved the traditional bath option. We used that multiple times on our trip and was perfect on cold days after walking around.
