Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The c/p value is high and it is located near Kuramae Station. There are several convenience stores and drug stores nearby. The hotel is quite new, and although the rooms are like those of ordinary Japanese chain hotels: small, the beds are quite comfortable. There is no distance from the window, so it feels narrow and flat. The bathtub is small and deep, and has artificial intelligence to automatically control the filling of the water without leaking. The most satisfying thing is the bathtub. You can ask the housekeeper for supplies. The cleaning manpower was insufficient. After returning to the room from a trip one day, I was shocked to find that it had not been cleaned. The housekeeping staff placed supplies in the corridor, making the narrow hotel look even more crowded. There are various breakfast options, and I feel happy when I see mashed yam and handmade tofu. It has both bread and porridge. Specially recommended roasted red bean toast. The candied sweet potatoes on the nearby streets are delicious, and the century-old eel rice restaurant on the river bank is delicious. The c/p value is high, but the room is small. Can stay for one stay.

Excellent location to visit Tokyo with extreme comfort considering the means very close to the property (Kuramae and Asakusa stops). English speaking receptionists. Good cleaning. The rooms and bathroom are small but very clean rooms like all of Japan. You can improve the reception which is equipped with only two armchairs (sometimes there are long queues) for a fourteen-storey hotel and same problem for the very useful washing machines and dryers (2+2) .

The hotel has a great location and the rooms have a lovely view of the river. They are also very efficiently furnished and are of a sufficient size and well equipped. The breakfast served in the neighboring hotel is, however, inedible for European tastes...

If you don't mind a place that's a little further from the main tourist districts, this hotel is for you. It's a 10min walk up to Asakusa (Senso-ji Temple) and the hotel is served by Metro and JR lines.
I had a single room on the 8th floor and I am impressed by the space, the cleanliness and the bed- which was extremely comfortable. The water in the bathroom is indicated as drinkable which means I don't have to buy bottled water. They have an onsen which was busy throughout the time I was there.
I want to give special thanks to Mr Nagano from the front desk who helpfully directed me to Asakusa with a map and also his lady colleague who kindly assisted me to book a taxi at 1:30am in the morning.
A lovely stay, highly recommended.

A very surprising find that is pack with a lot of amenities. It’s near the train stations and shopping and food are within walking distance. Google maps provides a good direction if you need help.
A chain business short stay hotel that is full of facilities. You receive a welcome can of beer when checking-in. There’s a TV with lots of features including free mirroring capabilities for iOS and Android phone, lots of information and even check out timing indicated on the screen. Free to watch movies and tv programs.
The hotel provides laundry machines for guests, as well as vending machines and mircrowave for the general public. There is also a public bath facility separated by genders and you can see if it is crowded on the TV screen in the room.
The rooms are small and cosy, so beware if you are lugging around a big luggage. Breakfast is from 7-10am, but expect a queue if you are going for the earlier slots (probably due to the many business people who stays there).
The hotel allows you to “park” your luggage on check out day (11am) at no extra cost so you can continue your shopping if you have a later flight.

They asked us what time we were arriving, we warned that we were going to arrive soon. We arrived early in the morning with no sleep (we already assumed we could not enter until 12-1 noon. We asked if we could check in as soon as they had the room clean as my mother has a high degree of disability and there were not even chairs to sit in the entrance. The answer was NO, either way. Although at all times they recognized that the room was clean and only remained 1h-1h30 for the “official” check in They asked us between 30 and 50 € per room and with poor education We do not recommend this hotel, we are frequent travelers, we never make complaints and we always adapt to everything.. but the poor education and ways were fatal

The room was clean, otherwise nothing good I can think of. The central air conditioning made the room so hot and stuffy but I cannot stand the noise of heavy traffic when I opened the window. I did not have much sleep during the stay. Free wi-fi was soooo slow. Hotel staff are cold and you'll be surprised the manager of a national hotel chain do not speak english.

Thank you for your staying. We are very sorry that you felt uncomfortable about air conditioning. It was set by central heating and air-conditioning. So, you can change degree but cannot switch from cold to hot. We are afraid to tell you that it is difficult to improve this situation immediately. However, we will use your opinion to make our hotel better. Also, we sincerely apologize for Hotel staff’s behavior. We will improve it promptly and be doing our best to make our customer comfortable. Thank your for sharing your opinion. Waga, receptionist

We stayed here in April this year for the first time, and have booked to stay here again on our next visit to Tokyo. When traveling around Japan we stay most of our time in chain "business" hotels and splurge for a more expensive Inn out in the countryside where you want the bit of luxury. This is a good one at an excellent price. Yes, the rooms are quite small, Tokyo real-estate is expensive. But they are more than adequate (though if you are a big 6'5" guy it might be cramped. We're both pretty small people). The breakfast is excellent - Japanese style, lots of delicious (and healthy) choices. We also have had lunch there and it is a good buffet for a very reasonable price. (Again - Japanese style food) The staff are great, the place is clean, and it has a public ofuro which many Tokyo hotels don't have. Oh - the location is extremely convenient for the rest of Tokyo, for day trips to Nikko or going north on shinkansen, and for Narita.

We were incredibly disappointed in this hotel considering it’s reputable brand and the other reviews it had. Firstly, despite booking a ‘small double room’ we expected a normal sized double bed and to be able to move in our room, however, the bed was more like a single and with my boyfriend being 6ft+ it was impossible for us both to sleep comfortably. We also struggled to fit our 2 suitcases in the room never mind be able to move and unpack. The shower was more like a large bath which made the entire bathroom and everything in it completely wet through each time it was used. The breakfast again was in my opinion completely unsatisfactory for a hotel of this size and standard. There was barely any western style breakfast options other than a few stale bread rolls and eggs. There was no fresh fruit, cereals or pastry selection which the pictures in the hotel seemed to suggest and each day I struggled to find anything that I could enjoy. If we had known this is what the breakfast consisted of we would never have paid to have this included! Finally, the staff at this hotel were simply unhelpful. We asked a few small requests of them, such as to use the spa/onsen on the day we checked out before our flight and instead of trying to reason with us they simply said ‘no’, we were in shock at their rudeness as we never expected this response from staff at a hotel chain with a reputation like this. This meant we had to check out at 11am and walk round Tokyo in 30 degree heat without any facilities to freshen up before our flight later that day. Overall left very disappointed and will not staying at an APA hotel again.

The room is the smallest hotel room I've been in thus far in Japan. I slept very uncomfortably. The room may say its fit for two, but would be best for only one. The pillows are extremely flat and the room itself is just displeasing. I asked for a high floor and was told a high floor would cost $100 for a view. already enraged by the size of the room I went back to my room and checked out two days earlier. The staff does not accommodate and I will not return.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience about APA HOTEL Asakusa Kuramae and sincerely apologize for the issues during your stay. Regarding pillows, we would gladly give customers an extra thicker pillow if they would like. Also, We usually arrange the room on high floor based on availability and won't charge for that. However, regarding the room with a sky tree view, the price will be different from other rooms. So, if the room you booked were cheaper than that, you need to pay the difference. We are vey sorry we were not a good fit for you and do thank you for your feedback. Waga
