I was fine with everything except having to keep asking someone to turn screen-mirroring back on for my room TV, every few days or so, especially as I was staying for around a month. Also (and I’ve seen others mention this), why does there have to be two towels, a robe and other stuff left on the door every single day? Finally, a lighter comforter/duvet (like the ones they have at Premier Inns in Europe) would be more comfortable than APA’s big, thick bulky, heavy ones. Other than those three things, everything was fine.

AC operation satisfactory.. Room cleaning daily outstanding. A big shout out to house keeper from Nepal fort her positive, professional and friendly attitude! Namaste! Before checking out we asked for help from the front desk concerning Airporter luggage pick up. The employee was not knowledgeable about the issue and we were helped to navigate the phone to succeed.. howerever..at one point the gentleman told my wife that usually the customers handle that themselves. I felt that was an inappropriate comment. If one does not know how to help.. one should get someone else to help the customer instead of saying that! Please don't be too harsh on the person responsible. : )

This is a great hotel, although yes the room is very small, it wasn’t the worst thing… most of the time my boyfriend and I aren’t in the room anyways and we each had one luggage + backpack and it was fine but if you’re someone that travels with more than that or then the rooms probably won’t work for you. Overall I loved it. It’s affordable, great location and the worth the stay. I would definitely recommend and come back

The room was great, small but fine for one person traveller. 2 would be crowded but doable. luggage fits under the bed to free up floor space. I was on the top floor (20th) and the view out the window was amazing! clean room, bed is good, bathroom has everything you need! Didn’t make it to the onsen (got tattoos) but it was never busy. The TV has great info and current movies and i really appreciated having matcha tea rather a tea bag. The area was in part of the Korean area and on the edge of hostess clubs. Going for a walk after breakfast around 7am you’ll see some locals passed out on the ground from partying night before. Wasn’t expecting that. Area a bit dirty with garbage on street. I didn’t feel unsafe, but i didn’t walk outside by myself after 8pm, walked with others. Overall, i would recommend as it was a nice quiet stay and felt safe staying in the hotel. Staff were friendly.

I stayed 5 total days, the room is small...but it works if your trip is short and you don't have a large suitcase. It's located about 15 minutes from Shinjuku Main Station, and 5-minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station. Lots of food options, and close to the heart of Shinjuku. Great for a solo traveler/couple.
