Located in Shinjuku but not the best area in my opinion… It is almost 10 blocks away from the station and you have to walk or take a taxi, since there is no subway stop closer. Pay attention because there are several APA hotels in the same area, so you might walk in vain for a while finding the right one!
If you arrive at the Train Station you need to walk towards the “East Exit”. Exit on the “B 13”. Once you are out walk straight until you hit the big avenue with a boulevard. Crossing this avenue you will see a donuts house “Mister Donut” on a corner diagonal to the Shinjuku Ward Office. You must walk straight down that street (between the donuts house and Ward) for approximately 7 blocks. You will get to another avenue with an APA hotel on the right corner (this is not it). The right APA hotel is on that avenue a few meters to the left. You will recognize it for its restaurant “Very Berry Soup”.
Room and toilette are small but 2 persons can manage just fine. Bed and pillows are very comfortable.
They offer 1 complimentary small bottle of mineral water daily. And there is an electric kettle with complimentary green tea inside the room. Room amenities, such as shampoo and conditioner, are good!
Breakfast is not good. You can choose from 3 options (Chinese, Japanese and Western). We had the Western every morning. It is a tray with a small corn soup, cold scramble eggs, 2 small sausages, a petite salad and 1 slice of bread. They do not have milk.
We did not have the chance to meet any English speaking staff, which was complicated really whenever we needed something.
