I visited during the Tokyo Marathon event to support a friend. the hotel location is very close to the Otsuka train station using the Yamanote line (100 m). No need to worry about staying anywhere if you visit Tokyo, the important thing is close to the train station. The APA hotel network has become my main destination to stay when traveling to Japan and I have stayed there several times and it has never disappointed me.

With a very affordable price, this is a super clean hotel, although the room is quite small but for me it is very sufficient. and always special in this hotel chain, no matter how small the room is, there is always a bathtub with hot water so it is comfortable to rest when tired of traveling. Highly recommended in terms of price, location, and cleanliness which is very special.

Thank you for staying at APA Hotel . We are very honored that you were satisfied with your stay. As you mentioned, our hotel is located a 3-minute walk from JR Otsuka Station, and there are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so it was very convenient for you. I think it was also easy to reach many of Tokyo's sightseeing spots. The entire staff will continue to make every effort to make your stay with us even better. Thank you for your time and valuable feedback. The entire staff looks forward to welcoming you again. Receptionist TODERA

I had business trip to Otsuka area, so I used it. There are four elevators, but there are three in the middle of the night, which tends to cause waiting.
It is close to the station within 5 minutes, and there is a public bath on the top 20th floor, which is a good point!
There are several convenience stores near the hotel.
It is also easily accessible towards Ikebukuro.

Excellent value for money. The very convenient location, just a few meters from Otsuka Metro Station, easily reach the most touristic areas.
The rooms are small but clean and with everything you need. The breakfast was very good.
Friendly staff, definitely recommend it.

A mistake we won’t make again. Many people have warned as of the poor customwr service and clientele. Unfortunately, it was a regrettable decision.

The front desk staff were shockingly rude and unhelpful, easily the worst customer service we encountered during our entire trip to Japan. Despite having a linked reservation to extend our stay, they insisted we check out and check back in on the same day, causing unnecessary inconvenience. Had we known, we would’ve chosen a different hotel entirely.

The hotel itself is in poor condition. The climate control is ineffective, leaving rooms stuffy and uncomfortable, and there’s a persistent moldy smell throughout the building. Dust is everywhere, further contributing to the unpleasant environment.

The facilities are inadequate for the volume of guests. There are only four washing machines to serve 19 floors (with 24–35 rooms per floor), and the elevator system is poorly programmed, leading to long wait times.

The rooms are tiny, poorly maintained, and lack basic amenities. The communal bath is unsanitary, as many guests ignore hygiene rules and don’t wash beforehand. This made the experience unhygienic and unpleasant.

Save yourself the trouble—stay elsewhere. This hotel is old, dirty, and badly managed. A truly disappointing experience.

Thank you for staying at APA Hotel . We are truly sorry that we caused you discomfort in various situations. We will share these issues with our staff and will do our best to make your stay even better. Regarding consecutive nights, if the room reservation type or the number of guests is different, you will need to check out once and check in again. However, if the room type and number of guests are all the same, we will let you know so that you can use the same room when you check in the first time. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the air conditioning. We have a centralized air conditioning system, so it is not possible for guests to switch between air conditioning and heating by themselves. We would appreciate it if you could open the window of your room or use the cooler/heater if we have it in stock. We would appreciate your understanding. As for the washing machine, guests are responsible for self-service. However, if you leave your luggage in the laundry room even though it has been washed, please ask the front desk staff to collect the contents and make it ready for other guests to use. Also, the elevators are very crowded during check-in and check-out times. We appreciate your understanding as many other guests will be using the elevators as well. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the size of the room. Although the rooms are compact in size, you can store your suitcase under the bed, and we have baggage racks available at the front desk for your use. Regarding amenities, basic amenities are available in the bathroom of your room. However, we do not have lotion or milky lotion, but there is a large bathroom on the 20th floor that you may use. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. Receptionist TODERA

This was our least favorite of the 5 hotels we stayed at while in Japan. Glad it was only for 3 nights. The double bed room we had was teeny, tiny and HOT. Unfortunately, the rooms were not individually regulated and the hotel had turned on the heat despite the temperature being 20+ degrees outside. And you aren't allowed to crack the windows. So hot room and no AC... :( Most of the front staff were pleasant to deal with. The plus here is the location. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores close by and a 5 min walk from the train station. We didn't use the public onsen or eat at the restaurant in the hotel.

Thank you for staying at APA Hotel . We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you during your stay. We sincerely apologize for the inadequate information provided to you. As for the air conditioning, the heating and cooling systems in our hotel are controlled by a centralized system, so it is not possible for individual guests to switch between the two systems. We do our best to adjust the air conditioning to the climate of the day, but it is certainly not possible to provide a comfortable room temperature for all guests. Therefore, if you inform us that it is too hot, we recommend that you turn off the heating and open a window. Also, please feel free to come to the front desk if you need refrigerant for your room's cooling air conditioner, which is available for rent at the front desk. Also, one of the best features of our hotel is that it is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Otsuka Station. There are many convenience stores and restaurants in the area, making it very convenient. There is a large public bath on the 20th floor of the hotel, which can be used free of charge by all guests. Both the men's and women's baths have three different types of bathtubs, and they have been well received by many guests, so please be sure to use them next time. Thank you for posting the review. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Receptionist Arai

The hotel is quite convenient, and it's near Otsuka station. The room has pretty much everything you will need. The only drawback could be that the room is small (however most rooms across japan are not that spacious as far as I know, and the area is not really fancy)

We stayed here for 5 nights and booked 2 rooms because they are 4 of us. Very clean room and amenities. Yes, room is small and highly functional. There are spaces underneath bed to store luggages and we absolutely love the public bath. It is nice to use that facility after a big day out exploring Tokyo. Beds are very comfortable! I also like the fact that we could open window ajar to let fresh air in.

This hotel is about 5 mins walk from JR Otsuka station on Yamamoto line. Plenty of restaurants around in this area and convenience stores.

We had the breakfast and room packages. I find that the cafe is quite small for a 20 floors hotel. There is always a queue and not enough seatings. There are western and Japanese cuisine. Buffet style. Staff tries to assist even though with limited English. I appreciate that.

We will be back for sure...

Property is very new and clean, check in and out is easy, amenities are perfect including toothbrush & paste, clean towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a fridge, humidifier and a huge tv. Not forgetting there is a coin laundry room at the 20th floor with liquid detergent provided, I didn't use this but for washing is 500YEN.

The hotel is near the train station, about 6 mins walk uphill. There are convenience shops, a small mall with supermarket, starbucks and eateries around. Traditional sushi where the sushi chef can't speak english but can make perfect and delicious sushi at a decent affordable price. We do the body language to let him understand what we wanna order and through google translate. I love the toilet, self cleaning and a tub for you to soak in every night. Don't let the small room bother you when you are out the entire day. Trust me the facilities, location, cleaniness can compensate for that.

My first visit to Japan and I loved it!! I was nervous about staying at this hotel because I thought it might be too far from the main sights in Tokyo, but it was actually perfect. It's only about a 4-5 minute walk from the Otsuka Station on the Yamamoto line. You can easliy reach anywhere in Tokyo on the JR line and connect to metro (if needed) or walk about 10 minutes to the nearest metro stop and take it. Very convenient transportation available.

There's many restaurants, shops, and convenience stores close by. I felt like I was in more of a residential/neighborhood type area than the main touristy areas of Tokyo which meant is was a little quieter and not as busy. I felt very comfortable and safe walking around.

The hotel is so clean, organized, tech savvy and had amazing City views. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast too. There are enough choices to make even picky eaters happy. The spa was fantastic and felt great after a full day of walking around the city. For the price of the hotel, you cannot beat the cleanliness, amenities, and proximity to public transport.

The only negative I can mention is the rooms are super tiny...at least compared to American standards. But, I believe this is common for Tokyo hotels. The rooms still have everything you need.

Thank you for choosing APA Hotel . We are glad you liked our hotel.

There are many convenience stores and restaurants in the area, but it is also near a residential area and not too noisy, so we believe you will have a quiet stay. We are pleased and encouraged by the compliments on our large bath and rooms. We will continue to do our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
